Longwood University became the 12th member of the Big South Conference on July 1, 2012.Embarking on its 30th year in 2013-14, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leaderin college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’sgrowing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by notable accomplishments onthe national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, andquality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and

leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.”The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell

and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, CharlestonSouthern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner andcontinued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more thanthe required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status.

During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths inseveral national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retir-ing Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received itsfirst automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAABaseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, theConference implemented its public relations and compliance programs,and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featur-ing the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in thenation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’sthird Commissioner, and in his 17 years at the helm of the Big South,Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting theConference to new heights. The Conference has enjoyed record levels inmarketing revenue during his tenure, as he has brought television cover-age to Big South women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s andwomen’s soccer, volleyball and women’s lacrosse for the first time inConference history, as well as increased national television exposure tothe League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiatedits first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as adistinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutionallife through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to addfootball as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, andoversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & field in 1997and women’s lacrosse in 2013. At the same time, Kallander has solidifiedConference membership, as an all-time high 12 member institutions com-prise the 30-year old League. Recent additions include High Point,Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return ofcharter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced itsfirst live video streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 900 events annually through a partnership with themember institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

Since 2000, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conferencehas had an individual National Champion six times, has had more than 300 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s bas-ketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoortrack & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship seven times in addition to the first men’s tennisdoubles at-large selection, had the first women’s golf program advance to the national finals, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, hadthe nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, has received twoat-large playoff berths in the Football Championship Subdivision since 2006, has had six NFL Draft picks, and has had two institutions finish in thetop 10 in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- including the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event (fifth in 2007).

In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a teamin the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina).In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed four times -- including a national seed for the first time in 2010, while theChanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s SamChelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross country, 10,000-meter run); Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Regionals forthe second time in three years as well as being ranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No. 3 in the national polls; and three women’s bas-ketball teams reach the postseason for the first time in Conference history. In 2010-11, Chelanga won two more NCAA National Championships(cross country, outdoor 5,000-meter run), the Big South had its first automatic bid recipient in football (Coastal Carolina), UNC Asheville reached theSecond Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the first in Conference history to advance tothe NCAA Championship out of Regional play, and a League-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. In2011-12, the Big South had a record five individuals selected for the NCAA Men’s Golf Regionals -- the most of any Division I conference, as well

BiG soutH confErEncE2

as a record 42 All-Americans.This past season, the Big South had 32 student-athletes earn All-America distinction, while another 12 were named Academic All-Americans.

The Conference also had two football playoff teams – and two playoff wins -- for the first time, had a women’s basketball team win a postseason gamefor the first time since 2005, had a League-record four men’s basketball teams selected for postseason play, had two men’s soccer teams reach theNCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, and had two men’s and women’s golf programs selected for NCAA Regional play.

Several former Big South student-athletes have also reached national prominence in recent years. Coastal Carolina’s Amber Campbell made theU.S. Olympic Team in 2008 and 2012, and was one of five former Big South athletes to compete in the 2008 Games; High Point’s Tamas Kovacsqualified for the 2012 London Games; VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with the Golden State Warriors in 2010, UNC Asheville’s TyWigginton was named an American League All-Star in 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won seven PGA Tour events since departingthe Big South Conference in 2007. Three former Big South baseball players made their major league debuts in 2012, while Avery Warley became thethird Big South women’s basketball player to play in the WNBA two years ago.

The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25thAnniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with LibertyUniversity’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. TheConference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. For the past four years, nearly 50 percent of Conference’s student-athletes were named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average for the academic year, and the League hashad more than 110 Academic All-Americans in its history. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public RecognitionAwards for APR progress the last four years. As part of this year’s 30th anniversary celebration, the League will recognize All-Decade Teams foreach sport spanning the Conference’s first three decades of existence.

“We definitely got a number of things headed in the correct direction during the fall versus where we were the previous year. Although

we’re not near where we need to be, I thought we posted a few very solid rounds during the second half of the fall. The round that we

ended with was very impressive. Hopefully, that sets us up to work really hard over the winter and will allow us to come out ready to

go in the spring. Moving forward, we’re going to need to get a lot more help from the bottom of the lineup. For us to be successful,

it takes all five guys we have on the golf course to be at or near the same high level of play. We haven’t had that in a couple years, but

that’s something we’re working toward. It’s worked very well for us in the past, and it’s just a matter of time before we get back to that

kind of depth.”

With a legacy of learning dating back more than 170 years,Longwood University has developed a meaningful learning environmentthat extends far beyond the classroom. Founded in 1839 as the FarmvilleFemale Seminary Association, the school was a pioneer first in privateand later in public education. The state of Virginia acquired the school in1884 and renamed it as the Normal School, the first state institution ofhigher learning for women in Virginia. Over the years, the schoolexpanded its curricula and had a succession of names, becomingLongwood College in 1949 and fully coeducational in 1976. On April 24,2002, history was again made at Longwood when Gov. Mark Warnersigned legislation that designated Longwood as a university, effectiveJuly 1, 2002.

The legacy that began in 1839 continues today as LongwoodUniversity offers more than 100 majors, minors and concentrations tomore than 4,800 students. Given its historical roots, LongwoodUniversity enjoys an enviable reputation for teacher preparation. But theexcellence has expanded throughout the university with strong programsin the liberal arts and sciences, business, and professional and pre-pro-fessional programs. Today the coeducational, comprehensive state uni-versity comprises four separate colleges: the Cook-Cole College of Artsand Sciences, the College of Business and Economics, the College ofEducation and Human Services and the College of Graduate andProfessional Studies. The graduate college offers programs in education,communication sciences and disorders, English and sociology, as well asan MBA degree.

Under the leadership of Interim President Marge Connelly,Longwood is committed to developing citizen leaders and provides ameaningful learning environment. Students get an excellent grounding intheory then translate their newly acquired knowledge into action bydoing research, internships, fieldwork and community service.Recognizing the value of experiential learning, Longwood is one of thefew universities in the country to require all students to complete aninternship or similar learning experience before graduation. Additionally,Longwood was the first institution in Virginia to require that every fresh-man have a laptop computer. Technology is integrated throughout thelearning process—an essential element for preparing the leaders oftomorrow.

The Greenwood Library supports Longwood’s mission of develop-ing citizen leaders through a comprehensive array of services andresources. It is a learning-centered environment that fosters intellectualexchange, scholarly communication, cultural enrichment, lifelong infor-mation literacy and creative expression. In addition, the library providesmore than 343,000 titles, 8,000 DVDs, 5,100 CDs, 900 print journal sub-scriptions, and 160 electronic databases with access to more than 51,000full-text electronic journals. The library also provides integrated technol-

ogy for information retrieval from libraries throughout the world. Thisstate-of-the-art facility is named in honor of Longwood’s 22nd president,Dr. Janet Daly Greenwood who served from 1981 to 1987.

Longwood provides a range of business services to the region andstate through the Longwood Small Business Development Center, whilethe Longwood Center for the Visual Arts serves as an important and inno-vative study center and cultural resource for the Commonwealth ofVirginia.

Longwood University also has a tremendous economic and culturalimpact on Farmville and the surrounding communities. A study conduct-ed by the Longwood Small Business Development Center estimates thatuniversity employees, students and visitors spent more than $90 millionin 2007—with 66 percent of that amount being spent in Farmville and theeight surrounding counties.

The Longwood campus, located in the heart of historic Farmville,Va., provides excellent facilities while reflecting the charm, beauty andcharacter associated with its long heritage. The campus community wasenhanced with the opening of Brock Commons, a beautiful pedestrianpromenade that provides a central focal point for the Longwood campuswhile eliminating traffic congestion and safety hazards. Fountains, walk-ways, outdoor sculpture and beautiful landscaping contribute to BrockCommons, creating a parklike atmosphere for students, faculty, staff andthe public.

Longwood’s signature building, Ruffner Hall, was rededicated onApril 23, 2005, and replicates the university’s most beloved building andits beautiful rotunda, dating to the 1880s, which burned on April 24,2001, while undergoing a $12 million renovation. The original eightpaintings on the interior of the rotunda dome, created in 1905 by theItalian-born artist Eugene D. Monfalcone of Richmond, have beenreturned to the dome following an extensive restoration that was underway prior to the fire. The historic Joan of Arc statue, known affection-ately as “Joanie on the Stony,” was also restored recently and returned toits place of honor on the main floor beneath the rotunda. The larger-than-life sculpture is a reproduction of the famous 1870 original created byFrench sculptor Henri-Michel-Antoine Chapu. The statue was a gift ofthe Class of 1914 and symbolizes Joan of Arc as the patron saint ofLongwood.

Ruffner Hall was reconstructed in the classic style based on the orig-inal blueprints and drawings from the state archives in Richmond.

The 83,143-square-foot building houses 22 classrooms, four aca-demic departments, the offices of the Vice President for Academic Affairsand the deans of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies andthe Cook-Cole College of Arts and Sciences, named for benefactors Dr.John R. Cook (Class of 1952) and Dr. Waverly M. Cole.

Adjoining the Cole Gallery is Blackwell Hall, opened in 1920 as thecampus dining hall. This historic facility, which survived the Great Fireof 2001, was named in the mid-1970s in memory of Dr. Herbert R.Blackwell, professor of English and dean of the college. Today, follow-ing a recent renovation and conversion, Blackwell Hall has a new roleproviding space for social, cultural and educational events for the cam-pus and community. Along with Blackwell Hall, the extensive renova-tion included the adjacent Virginia and Prince Edward meeting rooms.

commonWEaltH of VirGinia

The Commonwealth of Virginia is one of the original 13 colonies.Named for the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I of England, Virginia wasEngland’s first successful overseas colony and the site of the first perma-nent English settlement in America. West Virginia was part of Virginiauntil 1863.

Virginia’s rich political heritage helped shape the democratic princi-ples on which the United States was founded. Virginia played an impor-tant role in the American Revolution (1775-1783), and it entered theUnion as the 10th of the original 13 states on June 25, 1788. During theAmerican Civil War (1861-1865) the state’s capital, Richmond, was alsocapital of the Confederacy. The state has long been nicknamed OldDominion.

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and JamesMonroe, all Virginians, were founding fathers of the United States andwere among the first five U.S. presidents. Virginia is also the birthplaceof U.S. presidents William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor,and Woodrow Wilson.

Virginia is the 35th largest state in the United States, bounded on theeast by the Atlantic Ocean, on the north and east by Maryland and the

District of Columbia, on the west by West Virginia and Kentucky, and onthe south by Tennessee and North Carolina.

According to the 2010 national census, Virginia’s population was8,001,024, ranking it 12th among the states. Virginia Beach (435,619) isone of the most popular resort destinations on the East Coast, as well asVirginia’s largest city. Richmond (192,913) is the state capital and a cen-ter of banking and insurance, and of both retail and wholesale trade. TheNaval Base at Norfolk (229,112) and the Naval Shipyard at Portsmouth(101,377) employ thousands of civilians and military personnel.Hampton (145,017) is important for its aviation activities such asLangley Air Force Base and a National Aeronautics and SpaceAdministration (NASA) facility. In Newport News (178,281) is a ship-yard that builds naval ships, including aircraft carriers. Alexandria(136,974) is part of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Lynchburg(67,720) is the site of light industries. Roanoke (91,552) is the largestcity in western Virginia.

Civilian and military employment, mostly with the federal govern-ment, is an essential part of the Virginia economy. The Pentagon, whichhouses the Department of Defense, is located in Virginia and is the lead-ing federal employer in the northern part of the state. There are alsoimportant military bases in Virginia, particularly the massive complex ofarmy, navy, and air force bases in the vicinity of Norfolk.

Average January temperatures range from less than 32°F in the westto more than 42°F in southeastern Virginia. Average July temperaturesrange from more than 78°F in the southeast to less than 68°F in the west-ern mountains. Total precipitation ranges from about 35 to more than 50inches. Snowfalls are moderate, except in the mountain regions.

Besides Virginia, three other states - Kentucky, Massachusetts andPennsylvania - use the term commonwealth as part of their officialnames. The delegates to the convention in Williamsburg, when the firstConstitution of Virginia was adopted on June 29, 1776, used common-wealth as the name for the new form of government. It is very likely theyhad in mind the Puritans’ rebellion against the Crown in England morethan 100 years earlier.

Pennsylvania and Massachusetts also chose to be called common-wealths after independence from Great Britain. The other 10 formercolonies took the name “state,” the term used in the Declaration ofIndependence. Kentucky was once part of Virginia. When Kentuckiansjoined the Union as the 15th state in 1792, it also kept the name com-monwealth.
