Dennis Helsel, Director of Athletics

Greetings! 

        

Like you, we at Chowan University are extremely proud of our 300 student-athletes, our very professional and experienced coaching staff, our medical personnel and of course the rest of the staff who help to create and maintain an athletics program that is so valued by the university and its alumni.  But we would be remiss if we didn’t welcome those of you that have taken the time to visit our site on the World Wide Web.  This web presence allows us to keep you informed of our teams’ successes and shortcomings regardless of the restrictions of time or distance.  Whether near or far, your Hawks are always available at the click of a button.

  

Please let me leave you with this thought on dreaming from “My Utmost for His Highest,” The Golden Book of Oswald Chambers.  Daydreaming about something in order to do it properly is right, but daydreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong.   John 14:31 reads “Arise, let us go from here.”  Oswald Chambers tell us,Jesus never allowed idle daydreaming.  When our purpose is to seek God and to discover His will for us, daydreaming is right and acceptable.  But when our inclination is to spend time daydreaming over what we have already been told to do, it is unacceptable and God’s blessing is never on it.”  One might say that His message is quite simple, “Don’t sit or stand there, just go!”  Maybe that is where Nike got its instruction of “Just do it!”

 

Please come join the Chowan student-athletes as they continue their quest for greatness.  The talking and strutting must cease and be replaced by actions.  Your student-athletes are ready but could certainly use your assistance and prayers.  God Bless!
