ACADEMIC LIFE 

Catawba College is dedicated 

to helping students reach 

their highest potential. 

Blending liberal studies with 

career preparation, the college 

offers the Bachelor of Arts, 

Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of 

Fine Arts, Bachelor of Business 

Administration and Master of 

Education degrees. 

COLLEGE ORIENTATION 

Catawba officials want to do everything they can to help new 

students succeed, and that means more than making good grades. 

It means adjusting well. It means learning to live and work with 

others in an environment 

that is new. 

To ease the transition 

to college life, 

Catawba offers an 

orientation session 

before the opening of 

the fall term for all 

first-time freshmen 

and transfer students. 

One of the primary 

strengths of the 

program is that students 

have contact with an 

advisor from the first day 

they arrive on campus. 

And that relationship 

continues in small, twiceweekly 

classes during the 

entire first semester. 

SOUTH ATLANTIC CONFERENCE 

The South Atlantic Conference is a group of ten 

church-related colleges of similar size and athletic 

philosophy. As an all-sports conference, the league 

has grown into one of the premier small-college 

athletic conference in the nation. 

The 1993-94 year was extremely special in that 

the conference became fully affiliated with the NCAA Division II 

and is now eligible for national championships opportunities in all 

of its 14 sponsored sports. 

NCAA DIVISION II 

The National Collegiate Athletic Association is 

the organization through which the nation’s colleges 

and universities speak and act on athletic matters at 

the national level. It is a voluntary association of 

more than 1,000 institutions, conferences, organizations 

and individuals devoted to the sound administration of 

intercollegiate athletics.

the Board of Trustees. 

A native of Pembroke, NC, Oxendine served as chancellor 

of UNC Pembroke from 1989-1999. During his 

tenure there, the institution changed its name from 

Pembroke State University, its Carnegie Foundation classification to Comprehensive I, 

and its athletic conference from NAIA to NCAA II. New degree programs were also 

added under Oxendine's leadership, including a RN-BSN nursing program (offered jointly 

with Fayetteville State University), an MBA program, MA degrees in Agency Counseling 

and School Counseling, and bachelors degrees in Criminal Justice, Community Health 

Education, American Studies, Mass Communications, and Birth-Kindergarten. The landscape 

of the UNC Pembroke also changed during this period, with new, expanded, and 

renovated buildings, and an increase in student diversity. 

Oxendine graduated from Catawba College in 1952, and earned his master's of education 

degree from Boston University in 1953 and his doctorate of education from 

Boston University in 1959. He worked in automobile factories in Detroit, Michigan,

years, and served in the U.S. Army from 1953-1955 in Korea and Hawaii. He was a teacher 

and athletic coach in the Lynchburg Public Schools in Virginia between 1955 and 1957, 

before becoming a Teaching Fellow at Boston University between 1957 and 1959. For 

30 years, between 1959 and 1989, he served as dean and professor at Temple University 

in Philadelphia. 

Oxendine has authored two books: "American Indian Sports Heritage," two editions 

(1988/1995), University of Nebraska Press; and "Psychology of Motor Learning," two editions 

(1968/1984), Prentice-Hall, Incorporated. He also has authored three dozen professional 

and research articles, and five chapters in books on motor learning. 

His honors and accolades are numerous. Catawba honored him in 2007 with its 

O.B. Michael Award, inducted him into its Sports Hall of Fame in 1978, and awarded him 

an Honorary Doctor of Science degree in 1979. Boston University honored him with its 

Alumni Award for Distinguished Public Service in 1978, while Temple University awarded 

him its Stauffer Award for Outstanding Faculty Service in 1989. He received the R. 

Tait McKenzie Award from the American Alliance for Health, Physical Education, 

Recreation and Dance in 1993 and the Charles D. Henry Award for the enhancement of 

ethnic minority members in 1989. 

Oxendine serves or has served on the board of directors for the Lost Colony; the 

Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' Commission on Colleges; the National 

Institute of Health's Office of Minority Programs; the Fact-Finding Team of the American 

Association of State Colleges and Universities; and the Advisory Council for the N.C. 

Center for Nursing. 

Oxendine has been married for 50 years to the former Adrienne McNaughton of 

Philadelphia and the two are parents of two adult children, James Thomas and Jean 

Marie.

This is Catawba College 

SETTING 

Catawba College students will tell you they wouldn’t trade 

our campus — or its location — for any other. You won’t 

either. Catawba is located on 210 wooded acres in historic 

Salisbury, North Carolina. Comfortable and upbeat, our campus 

is ideal for interaction, involvement, and the attainment 

of knowledge. And our location provides countless possibilities 

for exploration. 

You’ll notice a hint of the past and a glimpse of the future 

in the design of our 27 campus buildings. Surrounded by 

beautifully landscaped grounds, the facilities offer a special 

blend of the traditional and contemporary. Two buildings 

constructed eight years ago are immediate eye-catchers. They 

are Cannon Student Center, which promises to be a special 

gathering place for students and faculty alike, and Ralph W. 

Ketner Hall, which houses the Ketner School of Business and 

Catawba’s Division of Education Services. 

Other key buildings include the landmark, 70-year-old 

Hedrick Administration Building, Omwake-Dearborn Chapel, 

Corriher-Linn-Black Library, Robertson College-Community 

Center, Shuford Science Building and Abernethy Physical 

Education Center. 

Students live in seven residence halls — Stanback, Barger- 

Zartman and Hollifield halls for women, and Abernethy, Pine 

Knot and Salisbury-Rowan halls for men. Woodson Hall 

houses both men and women. 

Salisbury is situated just off of Interstate 85, a major northsouth 

artery that gives convenient access to the entertainment, 

recreational and cultural activities of Charlotte, Greensboro 

and Winston-Salem. 

Students sometimes pack up on weekends and head up to 

the Blue Ridge Mountains for hiking or skiing, or to the 

Carolina coast to enjoy the sun, sand and surf of the Atlantic 

Ocean. 

CAMPUS LIFE 

The Catawba campus is a special place, with a distinct 

sense of warmth. That warmth comes from the embrace of 

Salisbury, a friendly Southern town which has always taken 

great interest in the college and its students. 

The campus also has the influence of 144 years of traditional 

values such as responsibility, involvement and caring 

for others. 

There is a wealth of organizations 

all in need of extra man-and-womanpower 

to complete a full agenda of 

activities. Take your pick of service, 

honorary and scholastic clubs, publications, 

musical and theatre arts 

groups with on-stage and backstage 

assignments, religious activities, 

and both intercollegiate and 

intramural athletics. Plus, there’s 

Cannon Student Center, hub of 

campus student life with a 

great lounge, wellstocked 

bookstore, Career 

Center offices, dining hall 

and post office. 

The center also hosts 

entertainment events 

through its student-run 

Wigwam Productions, featuring 

acts from the best 

comedy and variety clubs 

on the college entertainment 

circuit. (In fact, 

Catawba won national 

recognition as Campus of the Year, 1993 for its entertainment 

bookings!) In addition, we have our local productions, like 

“Talk Show,” and those crazy airband contests. And for your 

burger and pizza pleasure, there’s McCorkle’s, Catawba’s 

snack bar and all-around “hangout.” 

The Catawba campus really is a busy place — as busy as 

you want it to be. Remember that an active and involved student 

life usually leads to a highly satisfying and enjoyable college 

experience, and that’s 

what all of us at Catawba 

want you to have. It’s all 

part of what makes 

Catawba a wonderful 

place to spend your college 

years. 

“I’m glad I chose 

Catawba. It’s a family 

and that’s why I like it. I think the 

best school for you is the school where you feel 

comfortable. For me, it’s a smaller school where, when I see 

somebody walking down the hall or across the campus, I can 

call them by name. I’m not just another one of thousands of 

people. That makes me feel good. It’s a better learning environment, 

and that’s a very big plus.”
