Embarking on its 30th year in 2013-14, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by notable accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality 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, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted fullfledged 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 national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 17 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new heights. The Conference 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 the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages.

Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first longrange strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and oversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & field in 1997 and women’s lacrosse in 2013. At the same time, Kallander has solidified Conference membership, as an all-time high 12 member institutions comprise the 30-year old League. Recent additions include High Point, Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live video streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 900 events annually through a partnership with the member 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 Conference has 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 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, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship seven times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles 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, had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, has received two at-large playoff berths in the Football Championship Subdivision since 2006, has had six NFL Draft picks, and has had two institutions finish in the top 10 in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- including the Conference’s highestever 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 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 the Chanticleers’ 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 Sam Chelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross country, 10,000-meter run); Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Regionals for the 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 basketball teams reach the postseason for the first time in Conference history. In 2010-11, Chelanga won two more NCAA National Championships (cross country, outdoor 5,000meter run), the Big South had its first automatic bid recipient in football (Coastal Carolina), UNC Asheville reached the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the first in Conference history to advance to the NCAA Championship out of Regional play, and a League-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. In 2011-12, 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 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 game for 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 the NCAA 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 the U.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 Kovacs qualified for the 2012 London Games; VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with the Golden State Warriors in 2010, UNC Asheville’s Ty Wigginton was named an American League All-Star in 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won seven PGA Tour events since departing the Big South Conference in 2007. Three former Big South baseball players made their major league debuts in 2012, while Avery Warley became the third 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 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’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. The Conference’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 has had more than 110 Academic All-Americans in its history. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR progress the last four years. As part of this year’s 30th anniversary celebration, the League will recognize All-Decade Teams for each sport spanning the Conference’s first three decades of existence.

Longwood returns to action in 2014 on the heels of a historic season. Last year's squad rewrote the program's record book en route to winning the school's first-ever Big South Conference title in its very first year as a member of the league.

"Any time you get to see your players enjoy the fruits of their labor, it's really special," said 17th-year head coach Kathy Riley. "I'm really looking forward to this season because we are defending champions, so it'll be exciting to see what that is like." After making such a bold statement in its first year in the league, Riley believes that Big South opponents will take extra care in preparing for their series with the Lancers in 2014.

"I know that we are going to have to be ready to respond more often to opponents' best games. I think the fact that we won last year is going to give people more motivation to say 'hey we have a big series coming up with Longwood.'"

"Winning Most Valuable Player at the tournament is something that we hope Libby can build on," commented Riley. "One of the things that we would like to see her do is reduce her ERA. Number two, we want her to increase her strikeouts vs. the amount of hits she gives up. Talking to Libby, you can tell she has the knowledge of how to really work on her pitching. Instead of us always giving her the information, I think she can go work on things and become a better pitcher on her own, so I look for her to do that."

game Plan Riley and the Lancers are striving to be ready for anything this season can throw their way. In order to be successful, this year's squad, which features 10 returning letterwinners and four newcomers, is preparing differently than last season in many ways. One of the team's main goals will be to perform better at home in 2014.

New to the roster this year are McCarthy, a 5-11 left-handed pitcher, and Carnes, a 5-5 righty.

She added that the team would be concentrating on creating more than just long-ball offense this season, as well.

infield The infield will be anchored once again this season by junior catcher Megan Baltzell/Stafford. The 2014 Big South Preseason Player of the Year and USA Softball Top 50 Watch List selection led the nation with a program and conference record 30 home runs (0.49 HR/G). A 2013 NFCA Division I Second-Team All-American, Baltzell started all 61 games, while hitting .406 with a school-best 78 RBI and Big South record .984 slugging percentage.

"I felt like we did not play as well at home as we usually do last season, so really taking care of business when we have a three-game conference series on our field will definitely be a focus for us this year," explained the veteran skipper.

"Last year, we really let everything revolve around offense, but this year, I think we could say that pitching is going to be the primary area that keeps us in a lot of games. We have two rookie pitchJUNIOR MEGAN BALTZELL ers and Libby (Morris) is continuing to mature, so I think our three person staff will really complement each other.

"I would like to actually add some more short game offense, as well, and maybe get some runners moving, as opposed to just hitting away all the time like last year. We want to sacrifice bunt better and force the defense have to make decisions based on our movement, so we will try to incorporate some of that, especially in the early part of the season." Pitchers With Coach Riley looking for the team's success to start in the circle, junior Libby Morris/Dillwyn, and freshmen Elizabeth McCarthy/Dunnsville and Jenna Carnes/Six Mile, S.C. will have their work cut out for them. Morris, who returns as the veteran on the staff and the reigning Big South Conference Tournament MVP, will be the Lancers' No. 1 pitcher heading into the season. In 2013, Morris hurled a team-best 176.1 innings, while earning a 21-10 record. She notched 93 strikeouts and a 3.26 ERA, and held opponents to just a .250 batting average.

JUNIOR LIBBY MORRIS

"Biz McCarthy is a really good athlete, but has to become more refined in her pitching," added the seasoned coach. "As she gets practice and game experience, we will see her continue to grow, but being left handed and being able to throw hard is going to be an advantage for her. The third pitcher is Jenna Carnes. Her location is good and she is a little more refined than Biz. Jenna understands the batter and where she needs to throw the ball to get them out."

"After Megan's strong sophomore campaign, it's just a matter of her really putting herself in the right position and not feeling like she has to do it all herself," said Riley. "As the other kids mature, I feel like that's going to help Megan become a better player. That's what we're hoping for, and hoping we can protect her in the lineup, so teams will have to pitch to her as opposed to pitching around her." Other starters returning to the infield will be sophomores Jaime Barbour/Amelia at first base, Carly Adams/Colonial Heights at second and Emily Murphy/Virginia Beach at short stop. Murphy and Adams both started all 61 games last season, hitting .318 and .284, respectively. Murphy added 14 home runs, 68 RBI and a program-best 41 walks. Barbour started 58 of 59 games played with 27 hits (.175) and 21 runs. "Jaime was a pretty good defensive player for us last year," explained Riley. "We are hoping to add a little bit of the short game to her offense because she is left handed and gets down the line well. Carly started every game as a freshman and we are looking for her to continue to progress. She is solid for us on defense and loves the game. She's invested and wants to help us in every way. Emily had a great freshmen year, and although I would like to see her be more dynamic on the bases and cut down on her throwing errors, she is probably the most outstanding talent at shortstop in the conference, in my opinion."

Coach Riley also mentioned that rookie Taylor Hedrick/Fredericksburg will get the nod at third for the Lancers in 2014.

"Taylor is an extremely hard worker, so she has put herself in a position to play well. She is one of our most consistent hitters in terms of her plate appearances. As with all the freshmen, I think she is going to have to get 25-30 games under her belt before we begin to see her best softball, but she is going to help us there and do a good job."

outfield In the outfield, Coach Riley will look to junior Katie Shinrock/Fountain Valley, Cailf. to start in left field. Classmate Casey Lifsey/Portsmouth will JUNIOR KATIE SHINROCK start in right field, while newcomer Justina Augustine/Warrenton will start in center. Last year, Shinrock started all 58 games she appeared in, batting .259 with 36 runs scored and 14 RBI. Lifsey recorded a .146 batting average in 2013, starting 16 of 44 games played.

the Longwood Spring Classic. The Lancers will travel for their final tournament of the season, playing at the Wildcat Invitational hosted by the University of Arizona on Feb. 28-March 2 in Tucson, Ariz. The squad will take on Texas Arlington (Feb. 28, 9 a.m.), Arizona (Feb. 28, 4 p.m.), Indiana (March 1, 9 a.m.), Valparaiso (March 1, 1 p.m.) and Iowa (March 2, 9 a.m.) in that tournament before wrapping up the trip with a single game at Arizona State on Tuesday, March 4 at 7 p.m. in Tempe, Ariz.

"We get our feet wet with teams that are a little bit more our equal before we go to Arizona where we face some pretty good teams," commented Riley. "Arizona State is a top-10 caliber team and Arizona is in the top-25, so both of those situations are going to be a good challenge for us. We are going to go down there and try to play at a pace that gets us ready for conference play." Following the spring break trip, Longwood will host in-state opponent George Mason in a doubleheader on Wednesday, March 12 at 3:30 p.m. In 2014, the Lancers will also host Hampton (March 25, 4 p.m.), Virginia (April 2, 4 p.m.), Elon (April 15, 4:30 p.m.), Norfolk State (April 22, 5 p.m.) and Virginia Tech (April 23, 5 p.m.) in non-conference matchups. The team will travel to James Madison (April 9, 5 p.m.) and South Carolina (April 2526) this year, as well.

designated Player Junior Chelsea Sciacca/Whittier, Calif. will start the season in the designated player position for the Lancers. She started 53 of 55 games played last year, hitting .306 with five home runs and 34 RBI. She was second on the team in 2013 with 15 doubles.

"Since in-state rivalries are really important to us, getting Virginia, Virginia Tech, JMU, Hampton and Norfolk as many times as possible on a schedule is great," said Riley. "Our recruiting base is Virginia first, so we look to establish how good we are within the state. JMU is always going to be good, which we saw when we played them at the NCAA Regionals last year. South Carolina is also going to be a nice test for us because they're getting a lot better in the SEC. Playing two games in their new facility will be exciting for us.

Adding depth Senior Amy Putnam/Poquoson will add depth to the first base position, while sophomore Rebecca Huitt/Bealeton will start the year as the backup center fielder. Putnam started one of 31 games played last year with six runs scored, while Huitt appeared in nine games with four runs scored.

Longwood will face off against each of its eight Big South Conference opponents in three-game series. The team will open its conference schedule at Charleston Southern on March 15-16. Other league road games for the Lancers include Presbyterian (March 29-30), Gardner-Webb (April 5-6) and Coastal Carolina (April 18-19). Longwood will host Liberty (March 18-19) and Winthrop (March 22-23) as part of an eight-game homestand, before welcoming Campbell (April 12-13) and Radford (May 3-4) later in the season.

"Katie played center last year and did a great job for us. She's a hard worker and a hitter, but I think she can make more of an impact this season by adding that short game. For Casey, it's just a matter of getting a lot of confidence, and if we can get her the right amount of opportunities and put her in good positions, she can build that confidence."

"Justina has good speed and is very strong, so she could really make an impact for us at some point. What I love about her, though, is her mentality. When she's up to the plate, she's up there to hit the ball as hard as she can, and sometimes you can't teach that."

"Chelsea has seen great pitching and has had quality at-bats, so we're going to depend on her to solidify the comfort level of what we're doing," said Riley. "If she can come in, calm us down a little bit and give us good at-bats, it'll make the other kids have quality at-bats, as well."

"Amy, who was a great base runner for us, has been recovering from an injury for over a year. If she can get her explosion back, then we will have an opportunity to use her a little bit more," stated the coach. "Becca is a really strong defensive player, so I can see us using her as a replacement in the outfield late in games because she's probably our strongest defender in terms of reading the ball's angle and catching it."

Schedule After its first scheduled tournament of the year was cancelled, Longwood will open the season on February 22-23 when it hosts

SOPHOMORE EMILY MURPHY

"Our entire non-league schedule will test us and help us get some rhythm heading into the conference tournament."

"Our conference series with Coastal, Campbell and Charleston Southern will be the most difficult," concluded Riley. "I see Campbell and Coastal having the most talent in the league."

The 2014 Big South Conference Championship will be hosted by Coastal Carolina on May 8-11 in Conway, S.C.

"There is definitely going to be a strong dynamic between the top three or four teams to not the same team repeat as tournament champion, and this year, that's us."

She was the 1981 Broderick Cup National Softball Player of the Year at East Carolina University, leading ECU to a No. 1 national ranking while garnering 1st-team All-America honors. Riley later played on the gold medalwinning team at the 1990 Olympic Sports Festival.

Riley is a member of the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA), and was inducted into the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA) Softball Hall of Fame on November 12, 1999. She received the 2000 USSSA DeBeer-Richard H. Pollak Memorial Outstanding Sportswoman of the Year award as well. Riley has played on five national champion softball teams during the summer months, gaining All-America honors seven times. In basketball, Riley was a Street & Smith magazine preseason AllAmerican and North Carolina Athlete of the Year in 1981. ECU was a top-20 program that year while advancing to the NCAA Tournament. She scored over 1,800 career points while at ECU and Middle Tennessee State University, and earned tryouts for the 1980 United States Olympic Women's Basketball Team and the 1978 Pan American Games team. Riley was a finalist for the 1980 Olympic team, and later played professionally with the Houston Shamrocks of the Women's American Basketball Association during 1983-84. A native of Dayton, Ohio, Riley earned her Bachelor of Science degree in physical education from East Carolina in 1981 after a transfer from Middle Tennessee State in 1979. She earned her Master of Education degree in physical education: psychology/sociology from North Texas State University in 1982.

Longwood finished 36-16 during 2010 and 23-23 in 2009, the only non-winning season during Riley’s tenure, though still a .500 effort. The Lancers finished 27-18 in 2008, following a 21-18 campaign in 2007 that completed the four-year Division I Reclassification. Longwood finished 27-19 in 2006 for its eighthstraight 25-win season, while in 2005, the Lancers were 32-20 for their fourth consecutive 30-win effort as Riley was named the 2005 Division I Independent Coach of the Year. It was also the program’s first year playing a full Division I schedule.

Longwood was 37-13 in 2004 against a predominantly Division II schedule, its third-straight 37-win season. The Lancers finished 37-6 in 2003, claiming both the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference (CVAC) regular season and CVAC Tournament Championships. Longwood made its second consecutive NCAA Regional Tournament appearance that year as well. The Lancers were 3714 in 2002, winning the program's first CVAC Tournament Championship to earn their first NCAA Regional Tournament appearance with Riley garnering CVAC Coach of the Year honors. Longwood finished 26-14-1 in 2001, following a 34-23 record in 2000 while finishing as CVAC Tournament runners-up. The Lancers compiled a school-record of 38-15 in 1999, while the program was 22-18 during Riley's first year in 1998.

Prior to Longwood, Riley served as head coach at Mount Olive from 1993-97, gaining CVAC Coach of the Year honors in 1997 and 1995. Her four-year record was 87-82, including 59 wins during the last two seasons. She coached volleyball as well and was the 1994 CVAC Coach of the Year in that sport. Before that, Riley

ASSISTANT COACH | SECOND YEAR

Jennifer Steele '05 is in her second year at Longwood University during 2013-14, beginning employment July 10, 2012. A Longwood alumna, she returned to the Lancers following two years as an assistant coach at George Mason University.

In charge of overseeing the team’s pitchers and catchers at George Mason, Steele coached two freshmen to the 2011 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) All-Rookie Team. She was also responsible for designing the team’s daily practice format and for coaching the team on game days. In addition, she acted as the lead recruiting and camp/clinic coordinator, and handled the team’s travel arrangements, while also assisting with budgeting and scheduling. Prior to joining the staff at George Mason, Steele was the head coach at Randolph College from 2007-10. In 2009, she was named Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Coach of the Year after leading the team to its first-ever winning season and its first trip to the conference tournament. Steele began her coaching career as a graduate assistant at Smith College, where she was responsible for the pitching staff. Steele had a successful career on the diamond for the Lancers, starting 185 out of 189 games and helping to lead the squad to a 143-53 record during her four-year tenure. Her accolades include being named the 2002 Carolinas-Virginia Conference (CVAC) Freshman of the Year and the 2005 Division I All-Independent Pitcher of the Year. In the circle, the two-time AllCVAC selection totaled 73 wins, 625.2 innings pitched, 409 strikeouts and a 1.75 ERA. To this day, she holds the program record for fewest walks per game (1.29). Also a threat at the plate, Steele finished her career with a .324 batting average, 129 RBIs and 112 runs scored.

Steele, a native of Manassas Park, Virginia, received a Bachelor of Arts in communication studies from Longwood University in 2005 before earning a Masters of Science in exercise and sport studies from Smith College in 2007.

With a legacy of learning dating back more than 170 years, Longwood University has developed a meaningful learning environment that extends far beyond the classroom. Founded in 1839 as the Farmville Female Seminary Association, the school was a pioneer first in private and later in public education. The state of Virginia acquired the school in 1884 and renamed it as the Normal School, the first state institution of higher learning for women in Virginia. Over the years, the school expanded its curricula and had a succession of names, becoming Longwood College in 1949 and fully coeducational in 1976. On April 24, 2002, history was again made at Longwood when Gov. Mark Warner signed legislation that designated Longwood as a university, effective July 1, 2002.

The legacy that began in 1839 continues today as Longwood University offers more than 100 majors, minors and concentrations to more than 4,800 students. Given its historical roots, Longwood University enjoys an enviable reputation for teacher preparation. But the excellence has expanded throughout the university with strong programs in the liberal arts and sciences, business, and professional and pre-professional programs. Today the coeducational, comprehensive state university comprises four separate colleges: the Cook-Cole College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Economics, the College of Education and Human Services and the College of Graduate and Professional Studies. The graduate college offers programs 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 provides a meaningful learning environment. Students get an excellent grounding in theory then translate their newly acquired knowledge into action by doing research, internships, fieldwork and community service. Recognizing the value of experiential learning, Longwood is one of the few universities in the country to require all students to complete an internship or similar learning experience before graduation. Additionally, Longwood was the first institution in Virginia to require that every freshman have a laptop computer. Technology is integrated throughout the learning process—an essential element for preparing the leaders of tomorrow.

The Greenwood Library supports Longwood’s mission of developing citizen leaders through a comprehensive array of services and resources. It is a learning-centered environment that fosters intellectual exchange, scholarly communication, cultural enrichment, lifelong information literacy and creative expression. In addition, the library provides more than 343,000 titles, 8,000 DVDs, 5,100 CDs, 900 print journal subscriptions, and 160 electronic databases with access to more than 51,000 full-text electronic journals. The library also provides integrated technology for information retrieval from libraries throughout the world. This state-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 and state through the Longwood Small Business Development Center, while the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts serves as an important and innovative study center and cultural resource for the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Longwood University also has a tremendous economic and cultural impact on Farmville and the surrounding communities. A study conducted by the Longwood Small Business Development Center estimates that university employees, students and visitors spent more than $90 million in 2007—with 66 percent of that amount being spent in Farmville and the eight surrounding counties.

The Longwood campus, located in the heart of historic Farmville, Va., provides excellent facilities while reflecting the charm, beauty and character associated with its long heritage. The campus community was enhanced with the opening of Brock Commons, a beautiful pedestrian promenade that provides a central focal point for the Longwood campus while eliminating traffic congestion and safety hazards. Fountains, walkways, outdoor sculpture and beautiful landscaping contribute to Brock Commons, creating a parklike atmosphere for students, faculty, staff and the public. Longwood’s signature building, Ruffner Hall, was rededicated on April 23, 2005, and replicates the university’s most beloved building and its beautiful rotunda, dating to the 1880s, which burned on April 24, 2001, while undergoing a $12 million renovation. The original eight paintings on the interior of the rotunda dome, created in 1905 by the Italian-born artist Eugene D. Monfalcone of Richmond, have been returned to the dome following an extensive restoration that was under way prior to the fire. The historic Joan of Arc statue, known affectionately as “Joanie on the Stony,” was also restored recently and returned to its place of honor on the main floor beneath the rotunda. The larger-than-life sculpture is a reproduction of the famous 1870 original created by French sculptor Henri-MichelAntoine Chapu. The statue was a gift of the Class of 1914 and symbolizes Joan of Arc as the patron saint of Longwood. Ruffner Hall was reconstructed in the classic style based on the original blueprints and drawings from the state archives in Richmond.

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

Between Ruffner Hall and Blackwell Hall, a sunlit hallway forms the Cole Gallery, which features a collection of more than 500 pieces of 19th-century Bohemian glass, Meissen porcelain and English pottery donated to the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts by Dr. Cole. Standing guard over this rare collection of decorative arts, with her sword held high, is the recently renovated equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, or “Joanie on the Pony,” by Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington. Adjoining the Cole Gallery is Blackwell Hall, opened in 1920 as the campus dining hall. This historic facility, which survived the Great Fire of 2001, was named in the mid-1970s in memory of Dr. Herbert R. Blackwell, professor of English and dean of the college. Today, following a recent renovation and conversion, Blackwell Hall has a new role providing space for social, cultural and educational events for the campus and community. Along with Blackwell Hall, the extensive renovation included the adjacent Virginia and Prince Edward meeting rooms.

The Chichester Science Center opened Dec. 6, 2005. The 70,822square-foot facility includes 23 classrooms and laboratories, 47 faculty offices and additional research space for both undergraduate and graduate research projects. The building, which was named in 2007 in honor of John H. and Karen Williams Chichester (Class of 1974), features a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled environment with safety ventilation systems and hazardous materials safeguards, as well as a high-tech infrastructure for classrooms, laboratories and distance-learning facilities. A greenhouse and herbarium, housing the world’s largest collection of Virginia plant specimens, are located on the roof. More recently, a multifaceted Health and Fitness Center opened in August 2007. Located on Main Street adjacent to Frazer Residence Hall, the 74,683-square-foot, 2-1/2-story facility features a wide range of amenities including an indoor track, basketball and racquetball courts, a climbing wall, workout rooms, juice bar, and the latest weight, exercise and training equipment. The building received a Gold Certification Rating in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) from the U.S. Green Building Council. One of the more popular buildings on campus is the two-story, 60,000-square-foot Dorrill Dining Hall located on Brock Commons across from the Lankford Student Union. Named in honor of Dr. William Franklin Dorrill, Longwood’s 23rd president, this multipurpose facility with its curved, colonnaded portico overlooking Iler Field was the first on campus to utilize geothermal heating and cooling. The flexible interior design provides space for banquets, meetings and special events along with a Grand Dining Room seating 500 and an arcade seating an additional 700.

In fall 2009, the Center for Communication Studies and Theatre opened a new era for one of Longwood’s fastest-growing programs. The three-story, 41,983-square-foot building is home to the Department of Communication Studies and Theatre and Longwood Theatre productions, and is situated between the south end of Bedford Hall and Franklin Street across from the Hull Education Center. The new building features a highly flexible 174-seat “black box” theater, in which the seats and stage can be moved around. A studio theater, of about 80 seats and also flexible, will be used for student productions. There is also a scene shop, a costume shop and a drafting lab. The center also houses the Jack Blanton Gallery, which features more than 160 of the 230 pieces of artwork donated by Jack Blanton to the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts.

More than 1,300 students reside in three campus-managed apartment communities: Longwood Landings at Mid-Town Square, Longwood Village and Lancer Village. Some of the amenities and features of the apartments are private bedrooms (some with private baths), full kitchens (most with dishwashers), washer-dryer units, large living areas, high-speed Internet and cable television. Two of the three communities have fitness rooms, and one has a swimming pool and a game room. On campus, Wheeler and Cox Halls recently reopened following complete renovations. These residence halls now include elevators, air conditioning, bathrooms with ceramic tile and new fixtures, contemporary study rooms with modern amenities, and common areas with outside terraces.

Longwood Landings at Mid-Town Square, which opened in August 2006, is a residential village that includes four four-story buildings with the top three floors dedicated to student housing and the ground floor devoted to leased retail space. Longwood students occupy 96 four-bedroom and 24 single-room apartments. Retailers include Barnes & Noble, which operates Longwood’s bookstore and includes a Starbucks Café, and a Chick-fil-A and Moe’s Southwest Grill operated by Longwood Dining Services (ARAMARK).

Willett Hall, named for former Longwood President Henry I. Willett Jr., is a health, physical education and recreation complex lo-

cated on Brock Commons. It has a gymnasium with 1,807 seats; a complete weight-training laboratory; a 25-meter pool with a 1meter board, underwater lighting and observation window; a 350seat natatorium; a modern dance studio with a floating floor and staging capacity; and one of the state’s best-equipped laboratories for the study of human performance as it relates to exercise, sports, health and the arts. A 3,000-square-foot addition to Willett Hall houses a sports medicine/rehabilitation facility for the health, recreation and kinesiology programs. Not far from campus students can enjoy the facilities at Longwood Estate, which features a complex of athletic fields for field hockey, lacrosse and soccer, along with a nine-hole golf course. The president’s home, Longwood House, is situated on the estate.

Longwood University is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS: 1866 Southern Lane, Decatur, GA 30033; 404-679-4500) to award bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Other accreditations include the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE), the Virginia State Board of Education, the National Association of Schools of Theatre and the National Association of Schools of Music. Specific program endorsements include the undergraduate social work program that is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education; the undergraduate therapeutic recreation program that is accredited by the National Recreation and Park Association; the athletic training program that is accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CCATE); and the undergraduate and graduate business administration programs that are accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB- International).

For the 15th straight year, Longwood University is ranked among the best in the 2013 U.S. News & World Report survey. The new USN&WR “America’s Best Colleges” report, released in September 2012, ranks Longwood 11th in the category “Top Public Universities-Master’s” in the South. Among all Southern Universities-Master’s (public and private) Longwood remains within the top tier at No. 33. Additionally, Longwood is one of only 138 schools in the Southeast selected as a “Best in the Southeast” in the Princeton Review’s 2014 Best Colleges: Region by Region listings. The Princeton Review also named Longwood one of the nation's “Best Value” colleges and universities, including Longwood as one of 75 public institutions to be featured in its book, "The Best Value Colleges: 2013 Edition." And, for the fourth consecutive year, Longwood University is included as one of the 650 best colleges in the United States in the Forbes 2013 list of America’s Best Colleges.

THE FARMVILLE AREA Longwood University is located in historic Farmville, Virginia -65 miles west of Richmond, 48 miles east of Lynchburg, and 60 miles south of Charlottesville -- the Heart of Virginia. The Town of Farmville has a population of approximately 6,800. The Farmville Area is comprised of the town of Farmville, along with the counties of Prince Edward and Cumberland. This area serves as a retail hub and commercial activity center for eight counties of Southside Virginia and has a service market of more than 100,000 people. Education is a dominant factor in the area, with three outstanding colleges offering educational and training opportunities. In addition to Longwood, HampdenSydney College and Southside Virginia Community College are located in the area.

The Farmville Area has a diversified economy with strong manufacturing, trade, service, and agricultural sectors. Manufacturing activity centers around natural resources, textiles, and a variety of industrial and consumer goods. The Town of Farmville is also home to the annual Heart of Virginia Festival (first Saturday in May) and many historical sites, including Appomattox Courthouse and Sailors Creek Battlefield. These points of interest make the Farmville Area a very attractive place to be. Located in and near town are churches, hotels, motels, a country club, a municipal airport, and a community hospital. Many additional points of interest are within a short distance of the Farmville area. COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA The Commonwealth of Virginia is one of the original 13 colonies. Named for the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I of England, Virginia was England’s first successful overseas colony and the site of the first permanent English settlement in America. West Virginia was part of Virginia until 1863.

Civilian and military employment, mostly with the federal government, is an essential part of the Virginia economy. The Pentagon, which houses the Department of Defense, is located in Virginia and is the leading federal employer in the northern part of the state. There are also important military bases in Virginia, particularly the massive complex of army, navy, and air force bases in the vicinity of Norfolk.

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

Besides Virginia, three other states - Kentucky, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania - use the term commonwealth as part of their official names. The delegates to the convention in Williamsburg, when the first Constitution of Virginia was adopted on June 29, 1776, used commonwealth as the name for the new form of government. It is very likely they had in mind the Puritans’ rebellion against the Crown in England more than 100 years earlier.

Virginia’s rich political heritage helped shape the democratic principles on which the United States was founded. Virginia played an important role in the American Revolution (17751783), and it entered the Union as the 10th of the original 13 states on June 25, 1788. During the American Civil War (18611865) the state’s capital, Richmond, was also capital of the Confederacy. The state has long been nicknamed Old Dominion.

Virginia is the 35th largest state in the United States, bounded on the east 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 on the south by Tennessee and North Carolina.

According to the 2010 national census, Virginia’s population was 8,001,024, ranking it 12th among the states. Virginia Beach (435,619) is one of the most popular resort destinations on the East Coast, as well as Virginia’s largest city. Richmond (192,913) is the state capital and a center of banking and insurance, and of both retail and wholesale trade. The Naval 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 as Langley Air Force Base and a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) facility. In Newport News (178,281) is a shipyard 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 largest city in western Virginia.

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

Pennsylvania and Massachusetts also chose to be called commonwealths after independence from Great Britain. The other 10 former colonies took the name “state,” the term used in the Declaration of Independence. Kentucky was once part of Virginia. When Kentuckians joined the Union as the 15th state in 1792, it also kept the name commonwealth.

LONGWOOD PRESIDENT W. TAyLOR REVELEy IV

ates of Longwood, and his great-grandfather Dr. Thomas D. Eason taught biology at the university.

Founded in 1839 and located in Farmville, Va., Longwood University is among the hundred oldest colleges and universities in America, and is Virginia’s third-oldest public university, after the College of William & Mary and the University of Virginia. It is a liberal arts university dedicated to the development of citizen leaders who are prepared to make positive contributions to the common good of society, and today has more than 4,800 undergraduate and graduate students. Longwood is organized into five colleges: the Cook-Cole College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Economics, the College of Education and Human Services, the Cormier Honors College, and the College of Graduate and Professional Studies. Longwood’s athletic teams compete at the NCAA Division I level, and the university is a member of the Big South Conference.

Reveley graduated with honors from Princeton University, where he majored in classics and was also a student athlete as a member of the football team. He received a master’s degree from Union Presbyterian Seminary and J.D. from the University of Virginia. His wife, Marlo, is a vice president with Allianz Global Assistance, and they have two children.

W. Taylor Reveley IV is the 26th president of Longwood University. His term began June 1, 2013.

Reveley previously served as the managing director of the University of Virginia’s Miller Center, a nonpartisan institute focused on the U.S. presidency, policy and political history. Through strategic focus during Reveley’s tenure, the Miller Center became a key element of U.Va.’s academic work and public engagement and an increasingly prominent institution nationwide. The Miller Center’s faculty teaches almost 1,000 U.Va. students annually and includes a Pulitzer Prize winner and two winners of the Bancroft Prize, the most distinguished award in the field of U.S. history. Supported by an endowment of $65 million, the Miller Center has conducted the official oral history of each U.S. presidential administration over the past four decades and also engaged in significant broadcast partnerships with MacNeil/Lehrer Productions and ABC News. Gerald L. Baliles, former governor of Virginia, is the director and CEO of the Miller Center, which recently completed a $45 million comprehensive capital campaign.

Prior to his tenure as managing director of the Miller Center, Reveley served as the coordinating attorney for its National War Powers Commission, co-chaired by U.S. Secretaries of State James Baker and Warren Christopher. Reveley has likewise served as a member of the Executive Committee of the Princeton University Alumni Council.

Reveley’s father, W. Taylor Reveley III, is the president of the College of William & Mary. His grandfather, W. Taylor Reveley II, served as the president of Hampden-Sydney College from 1963 to 1977. Reveley’s family connections to Longwood also are extensive. His grandmother, Marie Eason Reveley-Harris ’40, her sisters, Caroline Eason Roberts ’42 and Julia Eason Mercer ’44, and her mother Carrie Rennie Eason ’10, were gradu-

As a business attorney at Hunton & Williams before joining the faculty of U.Va. with the Miller Center, Reveley engaged in mergers, acquisitions and financings totaling $1.6 billion for both public and private entities. Additionally, he represented the Harvest Foundation in its work to begin a new baccalaureate public initiative in Southside Virginia, by means of a $50 million challenge grant to the Commonwealth of Virginia, an effort that resulted in the founding of the New College Institute in Martinsville.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS TROy AUSTIN

Troy Austin is in his ninth year at Longwood University during 2013-14, and his sixth full year as Director of Athletics following his appointment on April 22, 2008. He previously served as the interim AD from August 2006 to April 2008. Austin's efforts during his tenure were essential to Longwood gaining Big South Conference membership.

Austin, one of the youngest Division I athletics directors in the nation (35), was appointed to and served a three-year term (2009-12) on the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association (ADA) Executive Committee, and was re-appointed to a second three-year term (2012-15). He spearheaded the creation and development of A Blueprint for Success, a five-year (2009-14) Strategic Plan for Longwood University Athletics. Austin oversees an intercollegiate athletics department where the overall undergraduate cumulative grade point average is 3.0 among 200-plus student-athletes. He served on the selection committee for the appointment of retired Brigadier General Patrick Finnegan who served as Longwood University's 25th president from 2010-12. Austin served in a critical role as Longwood completed the final year of its NCAA Division I Reclassification during 2006-07. He represented the department during a three-day visit to campus in September 2006 by a four-member Peer-Review Team as well as an NCAA Representative during the Division I Certification Self-Study and Evaluation process. Austin coordinated the compilation of information for the school’s annual Athletics Report and Updated Strategic Plan that year as well.

Austin has supervised 14 intercollegiate athletics programs and respective coaching staffs, and an administrative support staff over the past eight academic years.
