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.

Mike Ordnung

Head Golf Coach

Mike Ordnung returns for his second year with the Hawks as the

head coach for both the men’s and women's golf teams. Last year

he was selected to begin the first women’s golf program at Chow-

an and is looking to have a successful upcoming season.

During the 2014-2015 season, Ordnung guided the Chowan Uni-

versity men's golf team to program history by capturing first place

honors at the CIAA Southern Division Tournament. The Hawks'

victory was Chowan's second conference-affiliated tournament

win in program history (CIAA Northern, 4/7/2013). They earned

their second CIAA sanctioned tournament victory of the season by

winning the CIAA Northern. The Chowan University men's golf

team was the CIAA Regular Season Champions and finished run-

ner-up at the CIAA Championship, earning Chowan their third

runner-up finish in as many years. Two team members earned All

-CIAA and CIAA All-Tournament honors as a result of their per-

formances.

Ordnung is currently the general manager of Valley Pine Country

Club in Lasker, NC and has held the position since 2006. There,

he is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of the

facility, inventory control, conducting private golf lessons, clinics

and tournaments while supervising the staff. Additionally, he gen-

erates revenue and expands sales by initiating and monitoring the

effectiveness of monthly promotions, maintains and expands the

country club’s membership base and making responsible manage-

ment decisions.

Prior to working at Valley Pine, Ordnung was the Head Golf Pro-

fessional at Club Corp: The Currituck Club for four years. He de-

veloped and oversaw the club’s 3.2 million dollar budget through

financial forecasts, revenue game plans and inventory control. He

was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the Pro Shop, the

15-member golf operations staff and conducted lessons, clinics

and tournaments.

The Jackson, NC native is a 2002 graduate of Campbell University

where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Admin-

istration. He is the son of current men’s and women's assistant

golf coach and outdoor facilities manager Ellen Ordnung.

Ordnung is married to Laurie Bryant Ordnung. The couple has two

children, son, Preston who is five, and infant daughter, Presley.

GO HAWKS

Ellen Ordnung enters her 14th year with Chowan University, and

her second as the Assistant Men's and Women's Golf Coach. She

has served the athletic department in a variety of roles over her 13

years with the institution and will assist with outdoor field mainte-

nance and game day operations in addition to working with the

golf teams. She served as the assistant softball coach for eight sea-

sons under Meredith Long, helping solidify a very successful pro-

gram at Chowan. She assists the department with outdoor facility

maintenance and with game day operations.

Ordnung led the 2013 golf squad to a best-ever finish at the CIAA

Championships where the Hawks finished runner-up. The Hawks

took home first place at the Valley Pine Invitational that same sea-

son. Under Ordnungs’ leadership, Sean Wilson received an invita-

tion to compete at the 2013 PGA Minority Golf Championship.

In 2012, Ordnung led her golf squad to a third place finish at the

CIAA Championships. Senior Cliff Forbes was named to the

NCAA DII Atlantic/East Regional Team where he finished 40th

out of a 108 player field. Forbes also won the 2012 CIAA Individ-

ual Conference Championship Title.

In her first season competing in the CIAA (2010), Ordnung led a

talented young golf team to a third place overall finish at the

CIAA Championships. Both Cliff Forbes and Corey Garvey were

named All-CIAA performers that season.

Ordnung oversees all work study for the athletic department while

also serving as the ground supervisor for outdoor facilities. She is

an avid golfer, giving lessons and teaching golf classes at the

school for the past nine years. Her family owns a local golf course,

Valley Pine Country Club.

For over 30 years, Ordnung served as a teacher and coach for

Northampton County-East High School. During her tenure she

coached women’s basketball, softball, track and field, golf, and

cross country. She is a native of Williamston, NC, and resides in

Conway, NC with her husband Bob. Together they have two sons,

Mike and Danny. They are proud grandparents to Bryant Preston

Ordnung, who recently turned five years old, and infant, Presley

Deane Ordnung.

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.
