Chowan University is a four-year co-education intuition. It is the second oldest of North Carolina's seven Baptist Colleges. Chowan opened in 1848 as a four year college for women, Chowan Baptist Female institute. It was renamed Chowan College in 1910, admitted male students in 1931, and established itself as one of the leading junior colleges in the South in 1937. In 1992 the college returned to four year status. In April of 2006 Chowan President, Dr. M. Christopher White announced the changing of the institutions name from Chowan College to Chowan University. The University fulfills its mission with a careful blend of both liberal arts and professional courses. Recognizing that such a blend of knowledge and experience is particularly suited to the needs of contemporary society. Chowan takes as priority the need to connect general education with specialized education, theoretical learning with practical learning, and intellectual skills with vocational skills. Set amid 300 acres of woodlands embracing beautiful Lake Vann, Chowan’s main entrance leads gracefully around a college green to an antebellum mansion known as the McDowell Columns Building. Sixteen major buildings of contemporary design provide air-conditioned residence, academic and recreational facilities. The small-town university campus attracts students from at least twenty seven states and several countries each year. The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools fully accredits Chowan University to offer the bachelor’s degree.

Makini Thompson returns to Chowan for her second season at the
helm of the volleyball program. Thompson comes to Chowan with a
diverse playing and coaching background. Thompson will serve as the
program's third head coach since transitioning to NCAA DII status in
2006. In her first year as head coach, Thompson guided the Hawks to a
CIAA Northern Division Championship, and runner-up finish in the
CIAA Tournament. She coached Cindy Ehrich to earn CIAA Rookie of
the Year honors, and First Team All-CIAA selections Callie Armistead
and Karina Monroe.
Thompson has a diverse playing and coaching background, which in-
cludes international and professional play. A 6-0 outside hitter, Thomp-
son enjoyed three superb seasons at Florida State from 2005-2007. In
2006, she became the first Florida State player to earn All-AVCA hon-
ors as a junior when she collected an honorable mention nod.
Thompson recorded more than 1,200 kills during her three-year stint
with the Seminoles, the 21st player in school history to reach 1,000. For
her efforts, Thompson collected a First Team All-ACC award in 2006,
as well as a Second Team All-ACC selection as a senior in 2007.
In 2008, Thompson played professionally for Langenthal VBC in Swit-
zerland. She is also a member of the Jamaican Senior National team and
competed in the Caribbean Championships in Suriname, where she
helped the Jamaicans take fifth place two years ago.
During the 2010 season, Thompson served as a co-coach of Smash 18,
the top-ranked club team in New England. Smash won the Great
Nor'Easter and Mizuno Winterfest Tournaments and represented New
England at the USAV Nationals in Reno. She also has club experience
with the North Florida Volleyball Academy (2005-2008).
Following graduation from Florida State University in 2008, Thompson
served three seasons as the head volleyball coach for Robert F. Monroe
High School. She accumulated a 49-28 record while at RFM High
School. She also served as the Coordinator for Communities in
Schools, Inc. where she helped foster at-risk youth in the community.
In 2011, Thompson served as a volunteer assistant coach at Virginia
Commonwealth University. She worked with the outside hitters where
the team led the CAA in hitting percentage and blocking.
Thompson was selected to participate in the AVCA Minority Coaching
Program which was held at the 2011 AVCA Convention.
Thompson has had strong coaching influences over her volleyball career
but attributes her biggest influences to the Jamaican National Team
coaches.

Chowan University stands in the
old Albemarle region of North
Carolina between the Roanoke and
Chowan Rivers in the northeast corner
of the state. The Murfreesboro area
was first settled during the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries, when the
principal inhabitants were several
Indian Tribes such as the Chowanokes.
Today, the stately old homes seem to
whisper of the storied colonial and
antebellum days.
Murfreesboro is located approximately
60 miles from Norfolk, Virginia and 120
miles from Raleigh, North Carolina.
Murfreesboro is the location of the
boyhood home of Dr. Walter Reed,
discoverer of the cure for yellow fever,
and home to Richard Jordan Gatling,
the inventor of the Gatling Gun. Tours
and special events are offered
throughout the year by local groups.
