THIS IS CATAWBA COLLEGE<br />

<strong>Catawba</strong> <strong>College</strong> was founded in Newton,<br />

North Carolina in 1851 by the German<br />

Reformed Church. In 1890, <strong>Catawba</strong><br />

became a coeducational institution, with the<br />

first woman graduate completing her studies<br />

in 1893. Officials closed the Newton campus<br />

in 1923 and moved to its present location<br />

in Salisbury, re-opening in 1925. In<br />

1957, the Evangelical and Reformed Church<br />

merged to form the United Church of Christ,<br />

with which the <strong>College</strong> maintains affiliation.<br />

<strong>Catawba</strong> seeks to serve the Salisbury-Rowan<br />

County community through its programs and<br />

services. The Roberston <strong>College</strong>-Community<br />

Center, a facility built as a joint venture with the<br />

community over 35 years ago, houses the<br />

Shuford School of Performing Arts and showcases<br />

musical and theatre productions from the<br />

college and the community. Similarly, the college’s<br />

athletic facilities have been enhanced be<br />

the local community and are available to the<br />

local residents as well as the students.<br />

In the more than 75 years since <strong>Catawba</strong><br />

opened its doors in the Salisbury community, it<br />

has built a tradition of successful graduates who<br />

continue to honor the <strong>College</strong> by their achievements<br />

and enable it through their support to<br />

strengthen with each entering class. These graduates<br />

include physicians, attorneys, teachers and<br />

college professors, corporate executives, actors<br />

and musicians, social workers and others who<br />

contribute to our society in a variety of ways.<br />

From one building, three-quarters of a century<br />

ago in Salisbury, <strong>Catawba</strong> <strong>College</strong> today has<br />

grown to a campus of 27 buildings on 276 acres,<br />

with 189 acres devoted to an outstanding ecological<br />

preserve. Almost all of the buildings on<br />

campus have undergone renovations in the<br />

recent past and two new buildings, the <strong>Catawba</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> Center for the Environment and the<br />

<strong>Catawba</strong> Sports Center are now completed.<br />

Over 1,300 students representing over 25 states<br />

and several foreign<br />

countries attend<br />

<strong>Catawba</strong>. The student<br />

body is evenly divided<br />

among men and<br />

women.<br />
