GEORGIA SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY

THIS IS GEORGIA SOUTHERN

Georgia Southern University’s tradition spans more than a century. Among the classic red brick buildings and ancient oaks that line the campus is a University geared toward equipping its students with the knowledge and skills they will need in a very modern and rapidly changing global society. Today, Georgia Southern provides a unique educational experience where students are able to take advantage of all of the benefits of a large university without sacrificing the personal touches of a smaller college.

TRADITION LIVES HERE

When you drive through the main campus entrance, you are following a path more than 100 years old. Founded in 1906, Georgia Southern’s now sprawling nearly 700-acre campus began as three red brick buildings with traditional Southern columns surrounding a vast park-like lawn known as Sweetheart Circle. As they did more than a century ago, students still flock to Sweetheart Circle to relax in the sun, spend time with friends, or catch up on their studies. Tradition lives at Georgia Southern and it is woven into the very foundation of the University. In the fall, the traditional Homecoming Parade ends at historic Sweetheart Circle making for a memorable parade for students, faculty, staff, alumni and the community. Football players still arrive at home games in the same school buses used when the football program was re-started by the late legendary coach Erk Russell. And in May when the moment comes for students to become alumni, Freedom, the University’s bald eagle, flies over the graduates. The Statesboro summer is the perfect backdrop for the President’s annual watermelon cutting. The traditions of this classic University are the kind of moments that make the Georgia Southern experience one students cherish for a lifetime.

LARGE SCALE

Georgia Southern University’s commitment to educational excellence is lauded by some of the most prestigious publications in the country this year. Both Forbes and U.S. News and World Report consistently recognize Georgia Southern as one of America’s Best Colleges. The University was also named as one of America’s Best Graduate Schools by U.S. News and World Report. Kiplinger’s Personal Finance named Georgia Southern as one of its “Top 100 Best Values in Public Colleges” and The Princeton Review listed the University’s Master of Business Administration and Master of Accounting degree programs among the “Best 301 Business Schools” in the nation. The University’s growth and achievement has led to its being designated as a Carnegie/ Doctoral Research University. This designation further elevates the University as an institution recognized for excellence. Another milestone for the University is the launch of its first Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree in Logistics/Supply Chain Management. University System of Georgia institutions offer more than 180 doctoral programs, but Georgia Southern is the only university to offer this degree through the College of Business Administration. The American Geological Institute named the University’s Department of Geology and Geography as one of the top 100 Geoscience Programs in the country and the Engineering Technology program ranked 28th in the nation for total graduates and 18th for enrollment in its programs by the American Society for Engineering Education. The College of Information Technology is one of only 10 universities in the world to teach the cutting-edge technology of virtualization on VM software. Recently, the College was selected by VMware as the first International VMware IT Academy Center, and it is one of only a select few in the country to offer SAP certification as part of its degree program. This means students will graduate with cutting-edge knowledge and a competitive advantage the vast majority of Information Technology graduates—and even many professionals—do not have, saving their employers thousands of dollars in training costs.

Georgia Southern, and record numbers of outstanding students are applying to join their ranks. More than 12,000 people applied to Georgia Southern for the Fall 2010 semester, and final enrollment numbers are expected to set a new record with more than 20,000 students attending classes this fall.

SMALL FEEL

While progress brings change, one thing that has not changed is Georgia Southern’s commitment to its students. For decades, the University’s hallmark has been its dedication to remaining an institution centered on its students. The University has a low student/teacher ratio, and faculty members often work with students one-on-one.

The College also received distinctive honors when its Game Design Program was selected by The Princeton Review as one of the top 50 programs in the United States and Canada from a field of more than 500. Georgia Southern University’s College of Education claims numerous Georgia Teachers of the Year and recently one of its alumni was named the Siemens National AP Teacher of the Year. The College also obtained accreditation by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Education Programs (CACREP) in the three specialty areas of community counseling, school counseling and student affairs. Georgia Southern was the first institution in Georgia to be CACREP accredited in the area of student affairs, and is the only program in the region to achieve accreditation in student affairs, community counseling and school counseling. Georgia Southern’s College of Education has become respected for its focus on education administration and leadership. Faculty members from the biology department in the Allen E. Paulson College of Science and Technology were awarded a $2.3 million National Science Foundation grant to promote the teaching of molecular biology to students in Georgia’s schools. Faculty, staff and students are also working on projects involving bio-fuels and wind energy. The past 10 years have marked the single largest period of growth in the University’s history. A record number of students now attend

At Georgia Southern, our students appreciate learning in small groups where professors know their names. In addition, many undergraduate students enjoy having the opportunity to work on research projects led by faculty members. This year, Dr. Charles Patterson was named the first Vice-President of Research to lead the University’s Research and Service Foundation, an integral part of the educational community that encourages partnerships with industries and other institutions. The introduction of the new Public Health Core Research Lab is the latest research and education advancement available to University students. The facility is dedicated to analyzing soil, air and water samples from the surrounding area in an effort find and remove contaminants, and it will also be counted as one of a dozen of its kind in the state to feature a Bio-Safety Level 3 (BSL3) lab. Georgia Southern is well on its way to becoming a regional center for renewable energy sciences with the establishment of the Renewable Energy Laboratory. Research teams composed of faculty and students within the departments of chemistry, engineering and biology continually explore and identify resources of energy for commercial and residential use that will benefit the region by reducing the state’s dependence on foreign petroleum sources. JCB, Inc., the world’s leading manufacturer of heavy equipment, has partnered with the University by donating a Diesel-max engine in order to research biodiesel and other biofuels combustion emissions. Georgia Southern is poised to further the expansion of research and educational missions well into the future with the exploration of coastal plain science, computational science and green construction through the Allen E. Paulson College of Science and Technology. Even with more than 19,000 students at the University, students feel at home seeing familiar faces when walking through campus. Georgia Southern was the recipient of the University System of Georgia Award, specifically honoring the Pedestrium, a beautiful walkway that serves as the main artery through campus. This award represents the state’s top honor for University facility design and planning for the long-term commitment to campus. Additionally, both students and parents appreciate the classic mainstreet community of Statesboro that features numerous amenities, shopping and dining options.

EDUCATION FOR A LIFETIME

Whether a student is a new high school graduate or a professional deciding to return to the University for an advanced or online degree, Georgia Southern has numerous programs and options for students in every stage of life. The University’s College of Graduate Studies is seeing unprecedented growth in its programs. An increasing number of students are also opting for online classes. During the spring 2010 commencement ceremony, more than 200 graduates received online degrees—including several that made their first-ever trip to campus to receive their diploma. The University’s Coastal Georgia Center in Savannah takes the Georgia Southern classroom experience to students outside of Statesboro. The College of Business Administration also offers the Georgia WebMBA program that allows professionals to earn their master’s without leaving home.

and capture basin that houses a beaver lodge, a cypress pond that will be home to a variety of wading birds like herons and egrets, and a waterfowl pond. The 17-acre center is one of only a select few in the nation to be located in the heart of a major university campus.

REACHING OUT TO THE COMMUNITY AND THE WORLD

Georgia Southern students have more opportunity than ever to study alongside others from countries all over the world. Both the number of students coming to Georgia Southern from other countries and Georgia Southern students studying abroad has grown steadily over the last decade. This year, students participated in the first study abroad experience in the African country of Botswana, addressing global issues such as poverty and environmental sustainability while working alongside the non-profit organization Somarelang Tikologo. However, the international experience is not limited to study, and Georgia Southern students volunteered nearly 16,000 hours of service to both the community and abroad. During spring break 2010, more than 100 students traveled the world volunteering, working at an orphanage for medically frail children and assisting with construction projects in Honduras and also establishing a library in the Bahamas. Closer to home, students Volunteer in the Bulloch County area through Greek organizations, service clubs, and the Office of Student Leadership and Civic Engagement. Georgia Southern students learn that service to others is always time well spent. The University works to better the community every day. The College of Health and Human Sciences is partnering with the Bulloch County Health Department to curb childhood obesity. Preventing disease and bettering the quality of life for people at risk of serious health problems is a focus of the Jiann-Ping Hsu College of Public Health. And the psychology department in the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences has expanded the services at its psychology clinic to include children.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE

Imagine a college residence hall with suite and apartment-style living, a shopping area and a food court. That on-campus living experience became reality at Georgia Southern with the opening of Centennial Place. As home to 1,001 students, Centennial Place is setting a new standard in on-campus living. Several key facilities at the University have celebrated expansions and renovations. A four-year, $22.75 million dollar project to expand and renovate the Zach S. Henderson Library tripled the size of the facility. Today it provides students and faculty with a state-of-the-art facility for research and study. The $7.8 million dollar renovation and extension of the Foy Building added 3,599 square feet of space. Foy’s renovation includes a major enhancement to the outstanding Carol A. Carter Recital Hall. The Wetland Preserve at Georgia Southern University’s Center for Wildlife Education and the Lamar Q Ball, Jr. Raptor Center opened to the public last year. The 12-acre addition includes a small pond

I RON W OR K S STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Away from the playing fields, the cameras, and the excitement exists Iron Works, the heart of GSU’s strength and conditioning for all 15 intercollegiate teams. There, athletes enhance their physical capabilities through the training leadership of certified coaches, and the ending results are usually displayed in the win column. Built in 1989, the recent Iron Works renovation included the addition of offices and the total rehab of the entrance and interior. Nearly $50,000 worth of new weight equipment including multi-squat racks, two Olympic platforms complete with bumpers plates and bars, free weights, hammer machines and body weight scale were added. The biggest addition is a Mondo surface track 9x60 feet running down the middle of Iron Works for warm-up and agility work. Already at 5,400 square feet, the addition of nearly 1,000 square feet – including storage areas and modernized reception area previously not available – makes Iron Works a premier workout facility. Georgia Southern Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Tom Melton, who re-joined the GSU staff with the dual title of assistant athletics director/athletic performance in the spring of 2004, provides a direct strength training leadership role to the Eagle football program while coordinating and supervising off-season and in-season applications for the remaining 14 GSU teams. Thanks to donations received from former Georgia Southern football athletes, Iron Works is also home to two Vertimax Jump Trainers.

sam baker

director of athletics Sam Baker began his tenure as Georgia Southern Athletics Director in January 1996, and in his 14 years has taken the Eagles to unprecedented growth and success, emphasizing ‘Rings and Diplomas’, making sure every student-athlete has a chance to win a championship ring and earn a diploma. Under Baker’s direction, the athletics department has now captured 27 Southern Conference championships and made 22 appearances in NCAA postseason play, including back-to-back NCAA FCS national titles in 1999 and 2000. A perennial power on the national stage, Eagle Football has accounted for seven of the SoCon titles, eight of the NCAA playoff appearances (Division I FCS) and two of the nation’s-leading six FCS national championships during Baker’s tenure. Baker makes sure all coaches and staff emphasize the student in student-athlete. Georgia Southern continues to make progress in the Academic Progress Rate (APR). Twelve of the 15 programs improved their APR score from 2005-06 to 2006-07. Last year the Eagles saw five sports programs scored a perfect 1,000 the highest total ever since APR was implemented. Last spring Georgia Southern Athletics had 173 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA, including 37 that recorded a perfect 4.0. Under Baker’s direction, numerous student-athletes have earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors and five have gone on to earn Academic All-America distinction. Over the last decade facility improvements have been a main focal point of Baker’s efforts. Last spring, phase two of the softball stadium was completed with the building of stadium seating, a locker room and public facilities. During the 2007-08 year work phase one of the softball stadium complex was completed. Aesthetic changes to the north concourse at Paulson Stadium in summer 2008 matched the improvements made the previous season on the south side. The Gene Bishop Field House opened in fall 2006, providing the home and visiting team with new locker rooms and a social meeting place upstairs for Athletic Foundation members. Those improvements add to the growing list of enhancements that makes Georgia Southern stand out among its football peers as having the best facilities in the country. That same year the Bennett-Ramsey Golf Center was completed. The new building provides Eagle Golf with one of the top all-around practice facilities in all of the NCAA Division I. During the 2004-05 academic year, work was completed on: the renovation of J. I. Clements Baseball Stadium, the construction of a Track/Soccer Stadium, renovations to Iron Works (Georgia Southern’s strength and conditioning center) and Men’s Basketball Locker Rooms (donated by Michael and Katrina Curry). In addition, other team locker rooms, sports medicine treatment center, equipment room, and coaches’ offices in Hanner Fieldhouse have undergone renovation. Baker has also served as the driving force behind the Dan J. Parrish, Sr., Football Building (completed in 2000) and the Troy Cowart Building (home to the Athletic Foundation and GSU Ticket Office). Additionally, Baker has been active in his service to the Southern Conference and the NCAA. From May 2000 to May 2002, he served as chair of the SoCon Athletics Directors Association. For all his work, in June 2009 Baker was named NACDA Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year for the Football Championship Subdivision’s Southeast Region. Baker, a native of Front Royal, Virginia, joined the Georgia Southern management team after five years as Director of the College Football Marketing Corporation, a subsidiary of the College Football Association (CFA). Baker’s responsibilities with the CFA included securing title sponsorship for and administration of its “Promise of Tomorrow” scholarship program. A four-year agreement with Hitachi awarded $1.3 million in scholarships to aid individuals involved in intercollegiate football with the means to pursue careers in the field of education. From 1986-90, he was associate athletic director for financial development at Vanderbilt, where he oversaw the National Commodore Club. In the two years before moving to Nashville, Baker was associate athletic director for external affairs at the University of Oregon, the institution where he served as director of athletic marketing from January 1983 to May 1984. Baker entered the field of intercollegiate athletics at the College of William & Mary, where he spent seven years (1976-82) as director of athletic promotions. Baker holds a 1976 master’s degree in Sports Administration from Ohio University and a 1974 B. A. in Communication Arts from James Madison University. He and his wife of 33 years, Ann, are the parents of three children: Zeb, Elizabeth Ann and Josie.

Head Coach • 7th Year • UNC Asheville (1999)

Ashley Hart begins her seventh season at the helm of the Georgia Southern women’s soccer team, a program which celebrates its 17th season of success both on the field and inside the classroom. A byproduct of Hart’s leadership on the field is the continued success her team exhibits academically. The Eagles earned the National Soccer Coaches Association of America Team Academic Award in 2007 - its ninth such academic honor since 1996. The 2007 team included then-juniors Michelle Carlson and Holli Finneren as individual recipients of NSCAA regional academic honors. Nine studentathletes were named to either the Dean’s or President’s list during the 2009 spring semester. In her inaugural season, she inherited a young team that was coming off just its second losing season since the program began in 1993, and had to break in two true freshman goalkeepers and four more first-year players in the field. The youth movement continued in 2005 with a roster that had just one senior and no juniors, and in 2006, senior-less squad combined the leadership of the juniors and sophomores with the youth and vitality of an incoming class that saw a lot of playing time. The 2006 squad produced its most wins within a four-year frame and advanced to the Southern Conference semifinals for the first time since 2002. In the classroom the Eagles maintained their success, earning NSCAA Team Academic honors for the fourth straight year in 2004 and eighth time since 1996. The 2007 season pitted the Eagles against one of the toughest schedules it has ever faced. The Eagles fell just short in a number of games and lost six games by just one goal. “We were definitely in a majority of the games we played, and we played probably one of the toughest schedules since we have been here,” said head coach Ashley Hart. “We played an SEC team (Mississippi State), and Samford made it into the NCAA tournament. We had two teams from our conference make it to the NCAA tournament (Furman, UNC Greensboro). So it definitely shows we can compete at the highest level. Our team has to be ready now to take that step.” The 2008 season saw the Eagles pull one of their greatest combacks in history after being down 3-1 to High Point (Sept. 21) at halftime. The two teams traded goals in the early part of the second half, but the Eagles scored two straight unanswered goals to force a 4-4 tie. The 2009 Eagles dropped nine matches by just one goal, including two overtime losses. Hart’s squad picked up its first win of the sea-

son, coming from behind to beat Wofford 3-2. Senior Lauren Santos (2006-09) finished her career as the all-time saves leader with 340, stopping 71 in 2009. Hired on Dec. 30, 2003, Hart was asked to continue the tradition established by Tom Norton which includes nine seasons of .500 or better and seven top-three finishes in the conference standings. “I wanted someone that had an understanding of what it takes to succeed at being both a student and an athlete,” said GSU athletics director Sam Baker. “In Ashley, I found that perfect combination that I knew would lead our women’s soccer program to continued success.” Prior to accepting Georgia Southern’s top women’s soccer position, Hart spent four seasons at the University of Alabama at Birmingham as an assistant coach. At UAB, she was responsible for overseeing the Blazers’ financial budget, video operations, team travel and recruiting management while aiding with on-field coaching duties. During her four years at UAB, the Blazers maintained a 3.20 team grade point average and produced six individual Academic All-America selections. In 2003, Hart helped lead the Blazers to an overall record of 135-1, which included a Conference USA regular season championship mark of 8-2. That followed a 9-9-1 record, including a 5-5 Conference USA tally, in 2002. Hart was instrumental in one of the biggest turnarounds in Blazer

history that saw UAB record an eight-win improvement from her first season to her second. The Blazers were 3-14-2 during her initial campaign in Birmingham, but improved to 11-9-0, including 7-3 in league play, in 2001. Before joining the UAB program, Hart served as an assistant coach at Briarwood (Ala.) Christian School where she played a key role in the Lions’ Class 4-A state title in the spring of 2000. She coached several players which earned NCAA Division I scholarships, including current U.S. Women’s National Team performer Cat (Reddick) Whitehill. Hart’s coaching career began in 1999 as she spent a season on the Samford (Ala.) University staff, helping guide the Bulldogs to a 9-8-2 record. As a player, Hart was a four-year starter at the University of North Carolina at Asheville where she was a part of a Big South Conference championship squad in 1995 and a league runner-up finisher in 1996 and 1998. She was a two-time All-Big South choice (1995, 1998) and served as team captain as a senior. A four-time Big South All-Academic Team selection, Hart finished her collegiate career as UNCA’s third all-time leading scorer. Hart earned her bachelor’s degree in biology from UNCA in 1999, graduating with distinction as a research scholar. As a prep standout at Vestavia Hills High School, Hart was named Alabama’s High School Player of the Year in 1995. She was also a member of the Alabama Angels Club Team, which garnered eight state titles.

Assistant Coach 1st Season • Gonzaga (2001)

Graduate Assistant 1st Season • North Florida (2009)

Missy Strasburg joins the Georgia Southern Women’s Soccer program as an Assistant Coach, after gaining experience at the University of Washington and UNC Greenville. Strasburg has been working as a soccer coach and sport administrator at collegiate, high school and club levels since finishing her playing career at Gonzaga in 2001. She has been a member of the University of Washington’s staff since February 2010, after working as a volunteer assistant at UNC Greensboro during the 2009 season. She helped guide UNCG to a 13-7-0 record, 9-2-0 in Southern Conference play, and a SoCon championship. “Missy is going to be a great addition to our staff. She brings with her some great experience after being on the staff at UNCG and Washington,” Hart said. “She has coached in the Southern Conference, and knows what it takes to be successful here. Her background with club soccer is going to be a great asset with recruiting as well. Missy has a passion for the game and for the student-athlete, and that is only going to make us stronger.” The Washington native began her coaching career in August 2001 at Riverside High School where she spent three seasons as the head coach of the Varsity Girls’ team. While at Riverside, she also worked as the Eastern Washington Area Director for Skyhawks Sports Academy from Feb. 2002 until Aug. 2002. In January 2001, she became the head coach of the Spokane Shadow Soccer Club team, a position she held until November 2007. In May 2006, she took over as the Program Director for the club, while continuing to serve as head coach. Strasburg also spent nearly two years as the head coach of the Evergreen Soccer Club team, as well as working as the Administrative Director for one year. A four-year starter as a defender at Gonzaga, Strasburg graduated in May 2001 with a Bachelor of Business Administration with a concentration in marketing. In June 2010, she earned a Master’s of Education with a concentration in intercollegiate athletic leadership from the University of Washington. At Georgia Southern, Strasburg’s duties will include travel coordination, recruiting and video analysis, as well as daily coaching duties.

Erica Lippitt is in her first season with the Eagles coaching staff as graduate assistant coach. The Marietta, Ga., native brings four years of coaching experience to Statesboro, working with the First Coast Soccer Association from 2008 through 2010. She also coached at Providence School during the 2009-10 season. Lippitt played goalkeeper for two seasons at the University of North Florida, after transferring from Drexel University.

She was a four-year letterwinner at Pope High School in Marietta, Ga. As a freshman, she led her team to the 2002 state championship, and was selected to the Senior All-Star Game in 2005. Lippitt earned a bachelor’s degree in sport management from North Florida in 2009. She has a class C coaching license from the United State Soccer Federation, and a goalkeeping diploma from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

Jenny Anderson

Another fixture on the field and in the offensive scheme will be junior Danae Kaimuloa, who scored six goals with four assists over her first two seasons. Kaimuloa and Anderson are the only 2010 players who played every game over the last two seasons. “Danae’s a great leader for us. She creates great opportunities and she’s dangerous off the dribble,” Hart said of her former forward who switched to midfield last season. “She’s going to be very important for us to control the midfield, and we could put her up top as well.” Junior Sara Oland returns after leading the team with three goals last season. Hart credits Oland’s work ethic for her offensive success, explaining that the goals aren’t flashy, but Oland has a knack for finding the back of the net.

Sara Oland As the lone senior on the 2010 Eagles’ roster, Jenny Anderson will lead a talented group of young players, including 11 freshmen and seven sophomores on a roster of 24 players. “Jenny has a huge responsibility this year, and I’ve been proud that she’s been willing to accept that responsibility. She’s our strong mental presence, our encourager, and our voice on the field,” Head Coach Ashley Hart stated. “That’s going to be huge for us with so many young players on the field. “She’s not the type of player that is always going to have the big numbers or score the most goals, but she’s going to do a lot of the work and get a lot of the assists. She’s one of those players we need to have on the field and will do well wherever she is at on the field.”

Juniors Kyrstin Smith and Candace Marshall, who Hart claims is one of the fastest players in the Southern Conference, are also players Hart expects big contributions from offensively. One of the biggest questions surrounding the young Eagles squad is how to replace goalkeeper Lauren Santos, a four-year starter who finished her career as the all-time saves leader at Georgia Southern. Battling for the opportunity to stand in front of the net for the Eagles will be sophomore Missy Meyer, who trained with Santos for the past two seasons, and freshman Katie Merson. Meyer played in eight games as a redshirt freshman last season, recording a season high nine saves twice. She stopped seven shots in a 3-2 victory over Wofford.

called on to play defense. “It’s going to be up to her (Sepaniak) to step up and lead vocally back there,” Hart said. “Morgan Springer will be one of those players, as well, that we will depend on to direct and be a rock in the back.” Hart also expects the new players to come into the program and make an immediate impact and battle for starting roles. “We told our freshmen going into the summer, ‘We’re bringing you in because we want you to step up and play key roles.’” Hart proclaimed. “We’re going to need our freshmen and transfers to step up and play key roles for us, and I think they have accepted that role.” The incoming players will have just two home games, an exhibition against Armstrong Atlantic on August 15 and a

Missy Meyer “I think Missy is prepared to step in and take over this role. She’s waited for her turn and proved herself this spring,” Hart said. “I think she will step us this fall and be a leader for us back there.” With regards to the freshman Merson, Hart mentioned that she is very sound technically and is full of confidence, stating the starting goalkeeper has not been determined. “It will be a good battle to see who gets the starting role, and I think that will help both of them,” Hart continued. “It’s not something they can just step into and relax. They are going to be pushed, and they will push each other.” Defensively, the Eagles have just one experienced player, sophomore Ashley Sepaniak, who started five games last season. Sophomore midfielder Morgan Springer will also be

Ashley Sepaniak match against Winthrop on Aug. 20, before their first contest in a hostile, road environment at Mercer on Aug. 22. After an eight-game non-conference schedule the Eagles will begin the tough Southern Conference schedule at home against Wofford on September 24. A match against Furman on Sept. 26 will wrap up opening weekend, and send the Eagles on a four-game road trip, including a visit to 2009 regular season champion UNC Greensboro on October 1. The Eagles wrap up the season with three-straight home games, concluding the regular season against 2009 SoCon Tournament Champion Davidson on Oct. 28.

the southern conference

The Southern Conference

The Southern Conference, which began its 90th season of intercollegiate competition in 2010, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

Membership History On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA

voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

Leadership John Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters, launched the conference’s Hall of Fame and increased the market-

ing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference. Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, N.C., to Asheville, N.C. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 2001-2005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, N.C., to Spartanburg, S.C. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts.

Championship History The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success. The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.
