HISTORY

Vulcans on Television

DR. ANGELO ARMENTI, JR. 18 PSAC WEST CHAMPIONSHIPS • 13 NCAA APPEARANCES • THREE ELITE EIGHT APPEARANCES • TWO FINAL FOUR APPEARANCES

n May 19, 1992, Dr. Angelo Armenti, Jr. was appointed by the Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education as the sixth president of California University of Pennsylvania, founded in 1852. He holds a B.S. degree in Physics from Villanova University, and MA and Ph.D. degrees from Temple University in special and general relativity, respectively. He had a distinguished 20-year career at Villanova University prior to becoming president of California University. At Villanova he served as professor of physics, chair of the department of physics, Dean of University College, and Director of Planning. In addition to scholarly publications in scientific journals, Dr. Armenti received the Lindback Foundation Award for Distinguished Teaching in 1978, and was named an American Council on Education (ACE) Fellow in 1992, one of only thirty-two individuals selected nationally for this recognition. His book, The Physics of Sports, commissioned by the American Institute of Physics, remains in print since its initial publication in 1992. Since Dr. Armenti’s arrival at California University in 1992, applications have increased by 90%; average SATs have increased by 113 points; FTE enrollments have increased by 43%; and four-year graduation rates have increased by 94%. Many new academic programs have been initiated including: Master of Social Work (MSW); Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT); Master of Science in Multi-Media Technology; Physical Therapy Assistant; Sports Management; Graphic Design, Computer Engineering Technology, Criminal Justice, Legal Studies, Music Technology and Nursing Administration. Other University accomplishments since his arrival as president include: creation of an Athletic Hall of Fame; winning the Dixon Trophy as well as three National championships (two in women’s softball and one in women’s basketball); a successfully completed $13 million (first ever) capital campaign; a second capital campaign that is currently on schedule to reach its $35 million goal; a twenty-fold increase in endowment funds; the adoption by the University of the core values of Integrity, Civility, and Responsibility; the adoption of a University Bill of Rights and Responsibilities; the creation of the University Forum—a new governance structure; adoption of a new general education curriculum; implementation of a $200 million master plan, including: the building of the Eberly Science and Technology Center, the Kara Alumni House, the Duda Classroom Building, a 6,000 seat Convocation Center, and six modern new residence halls; the renovation or expansion of numerous other buildings on campus; and the creation of Global Online, the University’s internet-based outreach to some 2,000 students from around the world. Dr. Armenti has been active with the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools, and has served as Campaign Chair and President of the Mon Valley United Way. In 2001, he became a Certified Covey Trainer of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. He is a member of the board of directors of the Washington County Redevelopment Authority, a member of the board of directors of the Greater Pittsburgh council of Boy Scouts of America, and Chair of the Commission of Presidents of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education. He is married to the former Barbara Malinowski and, together, they have five grown children and nine grandchildren. His avocations include piano, photography and sailing. President and Mrs. Armenti

elcome to California University of Pennsylvania and another exciting season of Vulcan men’s basketball. I am confident that Coach Bill Brown, his staff and the players will continue to build upon the basketball tradition and make this a year to remember. This was a year of remarkable achievements at Cal U. In the past 12 months our academic offerings have been strengthened and expanded. Our beautiful campus continues to evolve, and our enrollment continues to grow. Our athletic teams won statewide and regional titles. Cal U finished in the Top 15 in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup standings for an impressive fourth-consecutive year. During the 2009-10 academic year Cal U’s second placefinish was the highest by a PSAC school since the Directors’ Cup was initiated prior to the 1995-96 academic year. We are very proud of our student-athletes, coaches and many individuals behind the scenes who are responsible for this magnificent accomplishment. I am particularly proud of our student-athletes who perform well not only on the field of play, but also in the classroom. During the 2010-11 academic year, a total of 225 California University of Pennsylvania student-athletes, representing all sports, were named to the Spring 2011 edition of the Vulcan Athletic Director Honor Roll after a record 245 student-athletes earned the honor during the Fall 2010 semester. For the 10th-consecutive semester, the Cal U athletic programs compiled a cumulative gradepoint average of 3.00 or higher. In addition, a combined 155 student-athletes from Cal U representing all sports (fall, winter and spring) were named PSAC Scholar-Athletes for the 2010-11 academic year. Our athletes have put in hundreds of hours of practice, and their hard work and dedication make them winners regardless of the score. The same can be said of the coaching staff, whose devotion to their sport and their players is an inspiration. The mission of Cal U is to build character and build careers. While the formal part of the education occurs in classrooms, laboratories and internship sites, the other part of a college education takes place in residence halls, the Natali Student Union and in various sport venues, such as the new Convocation Center. Men’s Basketball and our other athletic programs provide students with an experience that helps them to learn and to grow in ways that will benefit them the rest of their lives. Teamwork is important not only on the field, but in the boardroom, the operating room and in the classroom. Many of our alumni who were student-athletes during their time here have distinguished themselves in endeavors far removed from their sport, but they have carried with them the important life lessons they have learned on the field and from their coaches, their teammates and even their opponents. I hope that you enjoy the 2011-12 season and that you will support all of these young athletes enthusiastically.

Angelo Armenti, Jr. President

COACHING STAFF

THE CAMPUS Cal U’s 190-acre campus is nestled on a bend of the Monongahela River in the borough of California, Pa., 35 miles south of Pittsburgh. One of the first things you’ll notice when you visit for the first time is the natural beauty. Treelined lawns, broad walkways and exquisite landscaping surround restored historic buildings and new residence halls that have been recognized by the National Building Museum as among the finest in the nation. The Arboretum at California University of Pennsylvania is a public garden encompassing our 92-acre lower campus. We’re building an extensive collection that includes examples of nearly every tree indigenous to Pennsylvania. Lovely stained glass windows featuring Pennsylvania wildflowers, which grace the Grand Hall of Old Main, were created by Leslie Parkinson, emeritus professor of art. Another favorite site is the Manderino Library Gallery, an intimate space that features exhibitions from the Carnegie Museum of Art and other top museums and private collections. Take time to stroll through our sculpture garden, which features the magnificent “Ascent of Humanity” sculpture near the Duda World Cultures Building. At Cal U, we’re small enough to feel like family, yet large enough to offer variety and diversity. Spend some time getting to know us! Take a virtual tour online, come visit or request information to learn more about campus life at Cal U.

VISIT US It’s never too early to see how you will fit in at California University of Pennsylvania. Throughout the year we host several special events designed for everyone from high school juniors to students who have already applied. You can also schedule an individual visit that includes a meeting with an admissions counselor. Individual visits start at the Welcome Center on the first floor of the Eberly Science and Technology Building. This is the place to pick up literature about the University, watch a video and take a campus tour with a student ambassador. At the end of the tour, you will sit down with one of our admissions counselors and get answers to your specific questions. Plan to spend about two hours and 30 minutes when you visit, and feel free to bring your family or a couple of friends.

MISSION: BUILDING CHARACTER AND CAREERS To advance its ultimate mission of building the character and careers of students, the University shall focus its efforts on three goals: student achievement and success, institutional excellence, and community service. These interrelated ends will be facilitated by the following means: high quality faculty, students, programs and facilities. These means, in turn, will be funded through an energetic program of resource acquisition and stewardship.

LIVING AT CAL U If you are a first-time freshman from outside commuting distance to the University, you will reside in University housing for the first four semesters of your college career as space permits. But you won’t find dorms at Cal U. Here students live “The Suite Life,” enjoying roomy suites in new buildings. All six of Cal U’s residence halls have been built in recent years. Along with comfortable rooms, the halls feature well-designed common areas for socializing, including lounges with large-screen TVs and DVD players, as well as full kitchen areas and comfortable seating, not to mention rec rooms with ping pong and pool tables. Community assistants serve as leaders and facilitators within each hall. These students (graduate or undergraduate) live on designated floors and assist in overall operation. All are available through an on-call system 24 hours a day, with schedules and contact information posted throughout the building. The community assistants dedicate considerable time and effort to developing community. They help students understand and comply with University and residence hall rules, and they plan programs and activities to help make the most of the residence hall experience. Residence hall directors supervise each hall and work to ensure living on campus is productive and safe. These professionals (who have master’s degrees related to education and student development) live in the halls. The residence hall directors assist individuals and student groups, encourage community development, promote academic success, handle hall conduct issues, supervise student staff and act as the liaison for facility issues.

CONVOCATION CENTER 18 PSAC WEST CHAMPIONSHIPS • 13 NCAA APPEARANCES • THREE ELITE EIGHT APPEARANCES • TWO FINAL FOUR APPEARANCES

THE CONVOCATION CENTER AT CAL U The Convocation Center at Cal U is the latest addition to the campus of Cal U. The facility is the new home of Vulcan basketball. The arena also will be used for Commencement, convocations and other campus gatherings. Cal U plans to host athletic tournaments, trade shows, job fairs, country music concerts and other public events in this spacious facility. The Convocation Center will be available for executive-level conferencing. Located on the shores of the Monongahela River, just 35 miles from Pittsburgh, it will be the heart of River’s Bend, a full-service conferencing service. The 142,000-square-foot Convocation Center is a model of “smart” technology, the hub of campus activities and a destination for visitors from southwestern Pennsylvania and beyond.

2 6 59 80 142

It took approximately two years for this landmark structure to rise at California University of Pennsylvania.

This state-of-the-art building houses a 6,000-seat arena, the largest indoor venue between Pittsburgh and Morgantown, W.Va.

The Convocation Center was a $59 million project. Nearly 400 laborers and skilled workers have worked at the Convocation Center site.

An 80-foot tower that stands alongside the building announces its high-tech character with scrolling text and digital images displayed along its sides.

This 142,000-square-foot building gives Cal U much needed space to welcome the families of graduating seniors and master’s degree candidates to enjoy Commencement together in comfortable surroundings.

Vann, and the addition of junior transfer Papa Kote and true freshman Tynell Fortune. Vann started 30 games in his first two seasons before missing last year due to injury. The Maryland native is a key player on the defensive end and also has the ability to be a proven scorer, averaging a career-high 8.6 points per game two years ago. Kote was a member of the Senegal National Team before playing stateside at Carl Albert State in Oklahoma. Fortune, originally from Harlem, was the conference MVP while playing high school at Pocono Mountain West. The Vulcans also return a pair of proven swingmen in senior Chad Tipton and junior Quentin Harding. Tipton posted a breakout season last year, scoring 9.9 points per game and ranking among the league leaders with a .415 three-point percentage. Harding was an explosive, versatile player in his first year with the program. The 6-5 junior ranked third on the team with 11.0 points per game and displayed the ability to score from the perimeter and in the paint. Harding also developed into one of the team’s top rebounders, averaging 5.4 per game. Cal U also will benefit with the addition of another swingman in sophomore Chris Williams, who played scholastically in Philadelphia before playing at a community college last year. With a vacant starting position in the post, a trio of newcomers and senior John Williams will compete for playing time. Williams will miss the first part of the season after playing in all 27 games last year. Junior Mitchell Weedon enters the year with college experience after playing the last two seasons at Frederick Community College in Maryland. True freshman Jeremy Posey joins the program after being the conference MVP while playing scholastically at Huntingdon, east of Altoona. Freshman Shannon Williams possesses ideal size for the post position at 6-8 and 245 pounds. He was a two-time, all-state honorable mention selection while playing at Cass Technical in Detroit. With a bevy of talent, the Vulcans look to make their first season in the Convocation Center a year to remember by again advancing to the post-season.

COACHING STAFF

Cal U has a long and storied tradition of success. The Vulcans have averaged over 21 wins a season for the past 25 years. During that time, Cal U has won 15 PSAC West titles and earned 12 NCAA Tournament berths with three Elite Eight and two Final Four appearances. Under 16th-year head coach Bill Brown, the Vulcans return a veteran nucleus, and four starters, from last year. The program should also benefit from several transfers that were with the program during the spring semester last year. Perhaps the biggest addition to the Cal U program will be the opening of the state-of-theart Convocation Center this winter. The facility will feature spacious locker rooms, a premier hardwood court, an 80-foot display tower, among other firstclass amenities. On the court, the Vulcans return preseason AllPSAC forward Steve Swiech. Last year, the 6-9 senior led the team in scoring at 12.2 points per game and finished third in the league with a .588 field-goal percentage. He also ranked among the team leaders with 5.3 rebounds per game and totaled 22 blocks last season. The backcourt returns virtually intact and will feature an impact with the addition of junior transfer Keith Lowe. Lowe previously played two years at Edison Community College, which is north of Dayton. While with the Chargers, he earned All-America honors and was named the league’s Newcomer and Player of the Year. With Lowe out for the fall season, the offense will again be directed by seniors Douglas Jr. Appiah and C.J. Townes. Appiah displayed tremendous quickness and athleticism in his first season with the program. A native of Toronto, he led the team with 3.2 assists and 1.9 steals per game, while also scoring 6.5 points per game. Townes appeared in 17 games after joining the program midseason. The 6-1 guard features defensive intensity and an accurate shot, making 52.2 percent from the field last season. Cal U features added depth at the guard position with the return of redshirt junior Travon

BILL BROWN HEAD COACH 16th Year at Cal U brown_w@calu.edu THE BROWN FILE Name: William Harris Brown Born: July 30, 1951 Hometown: Toledo, Ohio College: Ohio, 1974 Wife: Christy Children: Aaron & Kerra Grandchildren: Jalen, Elijah, Kingston & Aubrey

COACHING EXPERIENCE 1996-Present Cal U, HC 1988-96 Kenyon, HC 1987-88 Tennessee, Assistant 1985-87 Sacramento State, HC 1980-85 Arkansas, Assistant 1979-80 Kent State, Assistant 1974-79 Ohio, Recruiting Coord.

Did You Know ... Bill Brown coached current VCU head coach Shaka Smart at Kenyon and later had Smart on staff as a graduate assistant at Cal U.

In his 15 seasons as head coach, Bill Brown has continued to enhance the rich history of the California University of Pennsylvania men’s basketball program. During his time with the Vulcans, Brown has amassed a record of 304133 to become the winningest coach in program history. He has guided Cal U to eight 20-win seasons with the Vulcans qualifying for the PSAC Tournament in 11 of 15 seasons and advancing to the ‘State Game’ four times, winning it twice (1999, 2008). The 2007-08 campaign offered Brown and his staff one of the more challenging tasks of his Cal U tenure. Featuring four new starters, the Vulcans registered a 28-6 overall record, won their first PSAC Championship since 1999 and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the first time since 1996. The 28 wins were the second-most in school history. Brown has been named the PSAC West Coach of the Year in two of the last five seasons and five times during his 15-year tenure. Prior to his time at Cal U, Brown served as head coach at NCAA Division III Kenyon College for eight seasons. Under his direction, the Lords qualified for the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons after posting 20-plus wins in 1993-94 and 199495. In 1993-94, Kenyon won its conference tournament and earned the top seed in the NCAA Tournament before finishing the year with a 24-4 record. Brown started his career as a head coach at Sacramento State University and coached the Hornets for two seasons during the program’s transition to NCAA Division I. He followed his time at Sacramento State with a season as an assistant coach at the University of Tennessee under Don DeVoe. A native of Ohio, Brown started his coaching career at Ohio University after a successful playing career for the Bobcats. As a player, he was a

Christy & Bill Brown three-year starter and two-time, allconference selection for the Bobcats, who won a pair of Mid-American Conference (MAC) titles and appeared in two NCAA Tournaments during his playing career. After four seasons at Ohio as a coach, Brown served a one-year stint as an assistant at Kent State University before accepting the top assistant position with legendary coach Eddie Sutton at the University of Arkansas.

Originating in 1951 to administer and promote men’s athletics, the Pennsylvania

State Athletic Conference has evolved into one of the NCAA’s most heralded intercollegiate conferences. The first major step came in 1977, when based on a growing interest, the league reorganized to provide a structure for its women’s programs. Only three years later, lacking a standard competitive division, league voted to reclassify the entire conference to NCAA Division II. Among its recent enhancements the PSAC has expanded its membership twice during a four-year span. The first occurred during the 2008-09 academic year with the addition of full-time members Gannon University and Mercyhurst College, and associate member Long Island UniversityC.W. Post. Over the past year, the PSAC’s Board of Directors agreed to welcome Seton Hill University as an associate member to begin play in field hockey during the 2011-12 campaign. The membership now consists of 16 full-time institutions and the two associate members. All of the league’s full-time members are located within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which makes the PSAC the largest one-state conference in the NCAA. The league has also grown to share the distinctions as: The largest conference in Division II, the largest football-playing conference in the NCAA, and, with 23, the conference that sponsors the most championships at the Division II level. Highly competitive on a regional and national level, PSAC schools annually combine to send nearly one-third of its teams into

NCAA postseason play. Ultimately, the membership’s success has yielded 43 NCAA team and 246 individual title winners. While proud of its athletic accomplishments, the league also has evolved into one of Division II’s finest from an academic standpoint. Today, nearly one-third of the PSAC’s estimated 6,300 participants are honored each year as “Scholar-Athletes” for maintaining a grade-point average of 3.25 or better - a total that has nearly doubled since PSAC Scholar-Athletes were first recognized in the mid1990s. Although all 16 current institutions are members of Division II, seven league schools also compete at the Division I level in select sports. PSAC schools enroll over 127,000 students and claim over 710,000 alumni, including 483,000 who reside in Pennsylvania. The PSAC is governed by the presidents of the 16 member institutions. It employs a commissioner, an associate and assistant commissioner, and a director of media relations at its headquarters in Lock Haven, Pa.

The Golden Rams led the league in steals last season and return their top two scorers in senior forwards Lance McDowell and Khalif Foster.
