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 Jus- tice, Community Health Education, American Studies, Mass Communications, and Birth-Kinder- garten. 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, played professional baseball in the Pittsburgh Pirates Minor League System for three 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 Fac- ulty 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 Ameri- can 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.
