Embarking on its 30th yearin 2013-14, the Big SouthConference has maturedinto a competitive leader incollege athletics, activelypursuing excellence on thefield of play and in the class-room. The League’s grow-ing presence as an NCAADivision I athletic confer-ence is evident by notableaccomplishments on the

national stage, innovativemarketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and qualityathletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social,athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolvedinto the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.”

The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when CharlestonSouthern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and AugustaPresident George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South,receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell,Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton wasselected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new mem-bers. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNCAsheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitutean official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fallof 1984, and in September 1986, 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 in several nationalpostseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf.In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Com-missioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid – receiving anautomatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s sevenyears of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and com-pliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television pack-age, featuring the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in thenation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commis-sioner, and in his 17 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been in-strumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new heights. TheConference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during his tenure,as he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball,softball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and women’s lacrosse for thefirst time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposureto the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Con-ference committed to the quality of institutional life through athleticcompetition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championshipsport, which came to fruition in 2002, and oversaw the additions of men’s andwomen’s indoor track & field in 1997 and women’s lacrosse in 2013. At the sametime, Kallander has solidified Conference membership, as an all-time high 12member institutions comprise the 30-year old League. Recent additions includeHigh Point, Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the returnof charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has alsoincluded technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first livevideo streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings tomore than 900 events annually through a partnership with the member institu-tions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms.

Since 2000, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growthand success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had anindividual National Champion six times, has had more than 300 All-Americans,has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball,has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball,women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf, hadan individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship seven times inaddition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the first women’sgolf program advance to the national finals, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golferin the country, had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consec-utive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, has re-ceived two at-large playoff berths in the Football Championship Subdivision since2006, has had six NFL Draft picks, and has had two institutions finish in the top10 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 team in the SecondRound of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seedin the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’sbaseball program has been a No. 1 seed four times -- including a national seedfor the first time in 2010, while the Chanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 camein just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 seasonsaw Liberty’s Sam Chelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross coun-try, 10,000-meter run); Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Region-als for the second time in three years as well as being ranked No. 1 in the nationalRPI and as high as No. 3 in the national polls; and three women’s basketball teamsreach the postseason for the first time in Conference history. In 2010-11, Chelangawon two more NCAA National Championships (cross country, outdoor 5,000-meter run), the Big South had its first automatic bid recipient in football (CoastalCarolina), UNC Asheville reached the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basket-ball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the first in Confer-ence history to advance to the NCAA Championship out of Regional play, and aLeague-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year PlayerDraft. In 2011-12, the Big South had a record five individuals selected for the NCAAMen’s Golf Regionals -- the most of any Division I conference, as well as a record42 All-Americans.

This past season, the Big South had 32 student-athletes earn All-America distinc-tion, while another 12 were named Academic All-Americans. The Conferencealso had two football playoff teams – and two playoff wins -- for the first time,had a women’s basketball team win a postseason game for the first time since2005, had a League-record four men’s basketball teams selected for postseasonplay, had two men’s soccer teams reach the NCAA Tournament for the secondconsecutive season, and had two men’s and women’s golf programs selectedfor NCAA Regional play.

Several former Big South student-athletes have also reached national promi-nence in recent years. Coastal Carolina’s Amber Campbell made the U.S. OlympicTeam in 2008 and 2012, and was one of five former Big South athletes to com-pete in the 2008 Games; High Point’s Tamas Kovacs qualified for the 2012 LondonGames; VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with the Golden State Warriorsin 2010, UNC Asheville’s Ty Wigginton was named an American League All-Starin 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won seven PGA Tour eventssince departing the Big South Conference in 2007. Three former Big South base-ball players made their major league debuts in 2012, while Avery Warley becamethe third Big South women’s basketball player to play in the WNBA two yearsago.

The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiledin 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The Leaguealso honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in Leaguehistory from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketballchampionship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the BigSouth’s first 25 years. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have beenduplicated in the classroom. For the past four years, nearly 50 percent of Con-ference’s student-athletes were named to the Big South’s Presidential HonorRoll for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average for the academic year, and theLeague has had more than 110 Academic All-Americans in its history. Further-more, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public Recogni-tion Awards for APR progress the last four years. As part of this year’s 30thanniversary celebration, the League will recognize All-Decade Teams for eachsport spanning the Conference’s first three decades of existence.

The Longwood University women's lacrosse team is ready toget back on the field for its second year as a member of theBig South Conference. After the team's tournament semifinalappearance last season, the Lancers return to action in 2014under the direction of second-year head coach Elaine Jones.

"I'm really excited for the upcoming season in the Big South,"said Jones. "All the teams are very competitive and will bechallenging to play. I'm most looking forward to seeing howour team plays and improves throughout the course of theyear, and how that improvement prepares them for the BigSouth Conference Tournament."

This year's squad features 17 returning letterwinners, in ad-dition to three newcomers. When asked for three words thatwould best define this year's team, Jones described hersquad as "committed, excited and motivated."

Game PlanWith one year of conference play in the books, Coach Jonesexplained that the squad is approaching this season muchdifferently than last year. She feels that putting in all the hardwork to create a strong footing last season has prepared theteam to be much tougher, physically and mentally, for 2014.The Lancers look to use these skills to be a threat to oppo-nents on both sides of the ball.

"Approaching this season has been a much different experi-ence. Last year, we had a lot of work to do, as we were work-ing with so many puzzle pieces. This year, however, thepieces are solidly in place. Our players learned so much lastyear and moving for-ward, I feel they havea great foundation onwhich to build.

"We intend to ap-proach the seasonone game at a timeand not look too farahead to our confer-ence games. While Ithink we have a strongreturning offense be-cause we only lost oneperson, I think our de-fense will turn out tobe better than it waslast year. I think it willsurprise some teams,so, I'm actually excitedabout our strategy onboth defense and of-fense."

Team LeadershipLongwood is a balanced squad this year, with 10 upperclass-men and 10 underclassmen on the roster. However, theLancers have just three seniors in the lineup in 2014 and willtherefore look for a group of leaders to emerge.

"I think everyone made so much progress in the fall that it ismore of a group of leaders rather than anyone individual,"commented Jones. "I think it's going to be a really good over-

all team effort. Both the junior and senior classes are verystrong, and have already done a great job of setting the rightexample for the younger players to follow."

Returning VeteransOf the 17 returning letter-winners, nine started forthe Lancers last season.Jones has high expecta-tions for her veterans, asshe is counting on theupperclassmen to usethe progress they havemade to help the teamimprove as a whole.

"I expect the returnersto be a year older andwiser," said Jones. "Theygained valuable experi-ence last year in so manyareas and I've been reallyimpressed with theirlevel of effort and execu-

tion of everything they learned. They're all really excited tostep on the field and are committed to proving they havewhat it takes to train and compete at a high level on a dailybasis."

NewcomersThe Lancers welcome just three newcomers to the lineup thisseason. Freshmen Samantha Bryan, Rachel DiGiulian andMadelynn Rollins will look to add depth to an experiencedsquad.

"I think that all the rookies worked hard in the fall," statedJones. "They are all adjusting to the college game. I thinkMadelynn Rollins has adjusted the quickest and should seesubstantial playing time."

AttackSenior Lauren Prasnicki will look to lead the Lancers' offen-sive efforts in 2014. Last season, she was the squad's mostproductive attacker with a team- and career-best 77 points.A skilled playmaker, she set a program record with 51 assists,while adding 26 goals.

"Lauren has great vision and game sense, which bolster herunderstanding of what needs to get done on the offensiveend," said Jones.

MidfieldLongwood lost just one midfielder to graduation last season.Senior Mary Barondess, and juniors Kacey Norwood andSarah Arndt are poised to take charge of this position for theteam. Barondess scored 33 goals and added seven assists tofinish fourth on the squad with 40 points in 2013.

"Mary has improved her presence on the draws, as well asher shooting ability," commented Jones. "We'll look to herto help pace the midfield and help Lauren on attack."

Arndt, who started 14 of 18 games played last year, logged 12goals and 14 assists for 26 points. Norwood got off to a

strong start during her soph-omore campaign, tallying 21points in five games beforemissing the rest of the seasondue to an injury.

DefenseJuniors Liz Trainer and TaylorO'Hara will take the reigns inthe Longwood backfield.Trainer finished second onthe team with 30 groundballslast year, while adding 13caused turnovers and 12 drawcontrols. She also loggedseven goals and assists for 14total points.

"Liz is a versatile defenderwith a quick check," stated Jones. "She'll do a great job inhelping Christian (Acker) lead the defense."

O'Hara, who started 12 of 16 games played, notched 11groundballs in 2013.

GoalkeeperJunior Christian Acker returns to anchor the defense. In 2013,she started 14 of 16 games played, while tallying a team-best115 saves for a .421 save percentage.

"Christian put in a strong showing this fall and is ready to stepup to assume the sole responsibility in the goal," said Jones.

ScheduleLongwood opens the newseason at home againstNavy on Saturday, February8 at 12 p.m. This year'sschedule features ninehome games and eight roadgames for 17 total regular-season contests.

"Our overall schedule repre-sents a nice blend of com-petitive non-conference andconference games," ex-plained Jones. "Every gamewill be a challenge, and thestrength of our non-confer-ence schedule will help pre-pare us to play ourconference opponents inApril."

The Lancers' non-conference slate it composed of the team'sfirst 10 games of the year. Longwood will host in-state, non-league opponents Virginia Tech (2.26, 12 p.m.) and Old Do-minion (3.13, 4 p.m.), in addition to Delaware State (2.16, 1p.m.) and Kennesaw State (3.28, 6 p.m.). Highlighting thenon-conference road games are in-state foes George Mason(2.19, 3 p.m.), William and Mary (3.25, 3 p.m.) and Richmond(3.30, 1 p.m.). The squad will also travel to Elon (2.14, 4 p.m.)

and Jacksonville (3.8, TBD).

"This year, we face several non-conference opponents weplayed last year, but still have a few whom we'll be playingfor the first time, so we don't know that much about them,"said Jones. "Once again, we'll just take it one game at a time,using every game as an opportunity to get better."

Longwood opens its Big South campaign with a pair of roadgames at Coastal Carolina (4.4, 6 p.m.) and at Winthrop (4.6,12 p.m.). The squad thenplays four-straight homecontests against Presbyte-rian (4.11, 4 p.m.), Campbell(4.13, 1 p.m.), High Point(4.19, 1 p.m.) and Davidson(4.25, 4 p.m.), before clos-ing the regular-season atin-state and conferencerival Liberty (4.27, 1 p.m.).

"Our conference schedulewill also be tough becauseall the teams will be work-ing towards getting a fa-vorable seed in thetournament. One of ourgoals is definitely to finishas one of the top four seedsso we have the opportunityto host a first round game."

PostseasonThe 2014 Big South Conference Women's Lacrosse Champi-onship will take place on April 30-May 4. In a change from lastseason, all eight league teams will qualify for this year's tour-nament. The top four seeds will host the bottom four seedsin the quarterfinals on April 30. The semifinals and finals willthen be played at the No. 1 seed's campus site on May 2 andMay 4, respectively.

"I think it's a nice opportunity for everyone to be part of thetournament," commented Jones on the format change. "It'san opportunity to play one more game. It also creates onemore hurdle you have to overcome to reach the champi-onship game, but if that's the process, then we'll be up forthe challenge.

"Our ultimate goal is to win the conference tournament, butwe have a long way to go to accomplish that goal," con-cluded the coach. "At this time, we are diligently working toprepare for our opening game against Navy and everyone islooking forward to facing the first competition of the 2014season."

LONGWOOD UNIVERSITY


With a legacy of learning dating back more than 170 years,Longwood University has developed a meaningful learning en-vironment that extends far beyond the classroom. Founded in1839 as the Farmville Female Seminary Association, the schoolwas a pioneer first in private and later in public education. Thestate of Virginia acquired the school in 1884 and renamed it asthe Normal School, the first state institution of higher learningfor women in Virginia. Over the years, the school expanded itscurricula and had a succession of names, becoming LongwoodCollege in 1949 and fully coeducational in 1976. On April 24,2002, history was again made at Longwood when Gov. MarkWarner signed legislation that designated Longwood as a uni-versity, effective July 1, 2002.

The legacy that began in 1839 continues today as LongwoodUniversity offers

more than 100 ma-jors, minors and con-centrations to morethan 4,800 stu-dents. Given its his-torical roots,Longwood Univer-sity enjoys an envi-able reputation forteacher preparation.But the excellencehas expandedthroughout the uni-versity with strongprograms in the lib-eral arts and sci-ences, business, andprofessional andpre-profess ionalprograms. Today the

coeducational, com-prehensive state univer-

sity comprises four separate colleges: the Cook-Cole College ofArts and Sciences, the College of Business and Economics, theCollege of Education and Human Services and the College ofGraduate and Professional Studies. The graduate college offersprograms in education, communication sciences and disorders,English and sociology, as well as an MBA degree.

Under the leadership of President W. Taylor Reveley IV,Longwood is committed to developing citizen leaders and pro-vides a meaningful learning environment. Students get an ex-cellent grounding in theory then translate their newly acquiredknowledge into action by doing research, internships, field-work and community service. Recognizing the value of experi-ential learning, Longwood is one of the few universities in thecountry to require all students to complete an internship orsimilar learning experience before graduation. Additionally,Longwood was the first institution in Virginia to require thatevery freshman have a laptop computer. Technology is inte-grated throughout the learning process—an essential elementfor preparing the leaders of tomorrow.

The Greenwood Library supports Longwood’s mission ofdeveloping citizen leaders through a comprehensive array ofservices and resources. It is a learning-centered environmentthat fosters intellectual exchange, scholarly communication,cultural enrichment, lifelong information literacy and creativeexpression. In addition, the library provides more than 343,000titles, 8,000 DVDs, 5,100 CDs, 900 print journal subscriptions,and 160 electronic databases with access to more than 51,000full-text electronic journals. The library also provides integratedtechnology for information retrieval from libraries throughoutthe world. This state-of-the-art facility is named in honor ofLongwood’s 22nd president, Dr. Janet Daly Greenwood whoserved from 1981 to 1987.

Longwood provides a range of business services to the regionand state through the Longwood Small Business DevelopmentCenter, while the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts servesas an important and innovative study center and cultural re-source for the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Longwood University also has a tremendous economic andcultural impact on Farmville and the surrounding communities.A study conducted by the Longwood Small Business Develop-ment Center estimates that university employees, students andvisitors spent more than $90 million in 2007—with 66 percentof that amount being spent in Farmville and the eight surround-ing counties. The Longwood campus, located in the heart of historic Far-mville, Va., provides excellent facilities while reflecting thecharm, beauty and character associated with its long heritage.The campus community was enhanced with the opening ofBrock Commons, a beautiful pedestrian promenade that pro-vides a central focal point for the Longwood campus whileeliminating traffic congestion and safety hazards. Fountains,walkways, outdoor sculpture and beautiful landscaping con-tribute to Brock Commons, creating a parklike atmosphere forstudents, faculty, staff and the public. Longwood’s signature building, Ruffner Hall, was rededicatedon April 23, 2005, and replicates the university’s most belovedbuilding and its beautiful rotunda, dating to the 1880s, whichburned on April 24, 2001, while undergoing a $12 million reno-vation. The original eight paintings on the interior of the ro-tunda dome, created in 1905 by the Italian-born artist EugeneD. Monfalcone of Richmond, have been returned to the domefollowing an extensive restoration that was under way prior tothe fire. The historic Joan of Arc statue, known affectionatelyas “Joanie on the Stony,” was also restored recently and re-turned to its place of honor on the main floor beneath the ro-tunda. The larger-than-life sculpture is a reproduction of thefamous 1870 original created by French sculptor Henri-Michel-Antoine Chapu. The statue was a gift of the Class of 1914 andsymbolizes Joan of Arc as the patron saint of Longwood.

Ruffner Hall was reconstructed in the classic style based on theoriginal blueprints and drawings from the state archives in Rich-mond. The 83,143-square-foot building houses 22 classrooms, four ac-ademic departments, the offices of the Vice President for Aca-demic Affairs and the deans of the College of Graduate andProfessional Studies and the Cook-Cole College of Arts and Sci-ences, named for benefactors Dr. John R. Cook (Class of 1952)and Dr. Waverly M. Cole. Between Ruffner Hall and Blackwell Hall, a sunlit hallway formsthe Cole Gallery, which features a collection of more than 500pieces of 19th-century Bohemian glass, Meissen porcelain andEnglish pottery donated to the Longwood Center for the VisualArts by Dr. Cole. Standing guard over this rare collection of dec-orative arts, with her sword held high, is the recently renovatedequestrian statue of Joan of Arc, or “Joanie on the Pony,” byAnna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington. Adjoining the Cole Gallery is Blackwell Hall, opened in 1920 asthe campus dining hall. This historic facility, which survived theGreat Fire of 2001, was named in the mid-1970s in memory ofDr. Herbert R. Blackwell, professor of English and dean of thecollege. Today, following a recent renovation and conversion,Blackwell Hall has a new role providing space for social, culturaland educational events for the campus and community. Alongwith Blackwell Hall, the extensive renovation included the ad-jacent Virginia and Prince Edward meeting rooms.


The Chichester Science Center opened Dec. 6, 2005. The 70,822-square-foot facility includes 23 classrooms and laboratories, 47 fac-ulty offices and additional research space for both undergraduateand graduate research projects. The building, which was namedin 2007 in honor of John H. and Karen Williams Chichester (Classof 1974), features a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled environ-ment with safety ventilation systems and hazardous materialssafeguards, as well as a high-tech infrastructure for classrooms,laboratories and distance-learning facilities. A greenhouse andherbarium, housing the world’s largest collection of Virginia plantspecimens, are located on the roof. More recently, a multifaceted Health and Fitness Center openedin August 2007. Located on Main Street adjacent to Frazer Resi-dence Hall, the 74,683-square-foot, 2-1/2-story facility features awide range of amenities including an indoor track, basketball andracquetball courts, a climbing wall, workout rooms, juice bar, andthe latest weight, exercise and training equipment. The buildingreceived a Gold Certification Rating in Leadership in Energy andEnvironmental Design (LEED) from the U.S. Green Building Coun-cil. One of the more popular buildings on campus is the two-story,60,000-square-foot Dorrill Dining Hall located on Brock Commonsacross from the Lankford Student Union. Named in honor of Dr.William Franklin Dorrill, Longwood’s 23rd president, this multipur-pose facility with its curved, colonnaded portico overlooking IlerField was the first on campus to utilize geothermal heating andcooling. The flexible interior design provides space for banquets,meetings and special events along with a Grand Dining Room seat-ing 500 and an arcade seating an additional 700. In fall 2009, the Center for Communication Studies and Theatreopened a new era for one of Longwood’s fastest-growing pro-grams. The three-story, 41,983-square-foot building is home to theDepartment of Communication Studies and Theatre and Long-wood Theatre productions, and is situated between the south endof Bedford Hall and Franklin Street across from the Hull EducationCenter. The new building features a highly flexible 174-seat “blackbox” theater, in which the seats and stage can be moved around.A studio theater, of about 80 seats and also flexible, will be usedfor student productions. There is also a scene shop, a costumeshop and a drafting lab. The center also houses the Jack BlantonGallery, which features more than 160 of the 230 pieces of artworkdonated by Jack Blanton to the Longwood Center for the VisualArts. More than 1,300 students reside in three campus-managed apart-ment communities: Longwood Landings at Mid-Town Square,Longwood Village and Lancer Village.

COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIAThe Commonwealth of Virginia is one of the original 13 colonies.Named for the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I of England, Virginiawas England’s first successful overseas colony and the site ofthe first permanent English settlement in America. West Vir-ginia was part of Virginia until 1863. Virginia’s rich political heritage helped shape the democraticprinciples on which the United States was founded. Virginiaplayed an important role in the American Revolution (1775-1783), and it entered the Union as the 10th of the original 13states on June 25, 1788. During the American Civil War (1861-1865) the state’s capital, Richmond, was also capital of the Con-federacy. The state has long been nicknamed Old Dominion. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, andJames Monroe, all Virginians, were founding fathers of theUnited States and were among the first five U.S. presidents.Virginia is also the birthplace of U.S. presidents William HenryHarrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson. Virginia is the 35th largest state in the United States, boundedon the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the north and east byMaryland and the District of Columbia, on the west by West Vir-ginia and Kentucky, and on the south by Tennessee and NorthCarolina. According to the 2010 national census, Virginia’s populationwas 8,001,024, ranking it 12th among the states. Virginia Beach(435,619) is one of the most popular resort destinations on theEast Coast, as well as Virginia’s largest city. Richmond (192,913)is the state capital and a center of banking and insurance, andof both retail and wholesale trade. The Naval Base at Norfolk(229,112) and the Naval Shipyard at Portsmouth (101,377) em-ploy thousands of civilians and military personnel. Hampton(145,017) is important for its aviation activities such as LangleyAir Force Base and a National Aeronautics and Space Adminis-tration (NASA) facility. In Newport News (178,281) is a shipyardthat 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 largest city in western Virginia.

Civilian and military employment, mostly with the federal gov-ernment, is an essential part of the Virginia economy. The Pen-tagon, which houses the Department of Defense, is located inVirginia and is the leading federal employer in the northern partof the state. There are also important military bases in Virginia,particularly the massive complex of army, navy, and air forcebases in the vicinity of Norfolk.

Average January temperatures range from less than 32°F in thewest to more than 42°F in southeastern Virginia. Average Julytemperatures range from more than 78°F in the southeast toless than 68°F in the western mountains. Total precipitationranges from about 35 to more than 50 inches. Snowfalls aremoderate, except in the mountain regions. Besides Virginia, three other states - Kentucky, Massachusettsand Pennsylvania - use the term commonwealth as part of theirofficial names. The delegates to the convention in Williams-burg, when the first Constitution of Virginia was adopted onJune 29, 1776, used commonwealth as the name for the newform of government. It is very likely they had in mind the Puri-tans’ rebellion against the Crown in England more than 100years earlier. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts also chose to be called com-monwealths after independence from Great Britain. The other10 former colonies took the name “state,” the term used in theDeclaration of Independence. Kentucky was once part of Vir-ginia. When Kentuckians joined the Union as the 15th state in1792, it also kept the name commonwealth.
