Community Involvement Preparing for life after college sports is a major focus of the Johnson C. Smith University Athletics program. Student-athletes are given the opportunity to develop the foundation for a lifelong commitment to volunteerism through a variety of local organizations. In recent years, JCSU student-athletes have been actively involved in many community service activities, including Habitat for Humanity, Loaves and Fishes projects, and the Great American Cleanup.
to promote support amongst teams. The SAAC sends a representative to the CIAA-SAAC meeting each semester to discuss ideas with other schools in the conference. Officers are elected each August.
Each year, all 13 JCSU athletic programs and cheerleading participate in group and individual community service activities. The Golden Bulls have participated in projects ranging from planting trees and tutoring school children to visiting nursing homes and serving meals to the homeless. Being a student-athlete at Johnson C. Smith University is much more than just games and practices. Serving the community is an important part of each student’s life at Johnson C. Smith University. Student-athletes find that participating in community service activities is a great way to help others and gain valuable leadership skills. Student-Athlete Affairs (SAA) The NCAA Student-Athlete Affairs unit provides life skills support in the areas of academics, athletics, personal development, career development and service through the distribution of accessible resources, strategic partnerships and customized programming at little or no expense to member institutions. Student-Athlete Affairs programs, resources and events are designed to promote the wellbeing and development of student-athletes and to provide on-going education and training to athletics professionals who identify and serve student-athlete needs.

Season Preview
Season Outlook - Competitve Greatness Head coach Vanessa Taylor enters her 10th season as leader of the women’s basketball program with an interest mix this year. The team has seven players returning and seven newcomers. In the backcourt, three senior guards will have the opportunity to showcase their leadership for JCSU. Tyra Breaux, 5-foot-8 point guard from Baltimore, MD and Shontanette Shaw, a 5-foot-6 combo guard from Raeford, NC have both spent three seasons playing for Coach Taylor and bring plenty of knowledge of the system. Shakeena Cunningham, 5-foot-7 guard from Buffalo, NY returns for her second season at J.C. Smith after transferring from Robert Morris. “Our guard play is essential and having players that understand your coaching methods and expectations help transition in our new additions,” said Taylor. “Shontanette is a strong leader on and off the court, Tyra has been a solid floor general, and Shakeena has shown so much growth preparing for the upcoming season.” Of the three, Breaux was the top scorer, starting 27 of 28 games during the 2009-10 season and averaged 6.1 points per game. Brittane Neely, a 6-foot-2 forward/center is the lone senior in the frontcourt. Neely averaged 7.3 points per game and led the team in blocks (20) last season, her first at JCSU after transferring from North Carolina A&T. Neely was awarded CIAA Newcomer of the Week twice during the 2009-10 season. Juniors Terrica Jones, Terran Quattlebaum, and April Smith have all developed in Taylor’s system as key reserve players. “They have been valuable to our program, each in their own way,” commented Taylor. “I have high expectations for them to continue to work hard and have the desire to become even better players and teammates.” Jones, a 5-foot-6 two-guard from Raleigh, NC played in 26 games, averaging 9.7 minutes and 3.5 points per contest. Quattlebaum, also 5-foot-6 two-guard from Mitchellville, MD played in 27 and has been the long range shooter for the Lady Golden Bulls. Quattlebaum led the team in three pointer made, converting on 24 of her 92 attempts. Smith, a 6-foot forward from Auburn, AL played in 28 games and started six last season. Smith provides a solid presence around the basket and could see more minutes this season. All three juniors were a part of the 2008-09 CIAA Championship team and have NCAA DII Regional Tournament experience.
The Lady Golden Bulls welcome aboard seven new additions. Three transfers and four freshmen. My coaching staff and I have been diligent with our recruiting this off season and we strongly believe our new players are talented individuals with the potential to bring a lot to the team,” said Taylor. Joining the JCSU squad as transfer junior are center Phyllis Jenson and guards Shavonda Price and LaQwesha Gamble. Jenson, a 6-foot-3 post player from Los Angeles, CA that transferred to JCSU from San Antonio Junior College and is expected to be a defensive standout with the ability to score. Price (5’8 from Ft. Wayne, IN) and Gamble (5’10 from Winter Haven, FL) will add size as well as inside/ outside scoring to the Lady Golden Bulls backcourt. Price spent two seasons at Division III Defiance College before transferring and Gamble saw limited action in two seasons at the University of Kentucky (2005-07). The “fundamental four” freshmen class in the frontcourt will include forwards Racquel Davis and Shayla Russell; while in the backcourt Alexcia Barnes and Chante’ Bell add depth. Davis, a 6-foot-1 native of Brooklyn, NY, averaged 27 points and 16 rebounds per game for Bamberg High School in her senior season. Russell, a 6-foot native of Bronx, New York, averaged 16.6 points and 9.1 rebounds per game for Frederick Douglass Academy in her senior season. Fellow New Yorker and top high school scorer Alexcia Barnes, a 5-foot-7 native of Queens, New York, averaged 16.2 points per game for Banneker in her final season. Local recruit, Chante’ Bell, a 5-foot-11 native of Fayetteville, NC, averaged 15.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and 2.7 steals in her senior season at Westover High. “Every season you face the challenge of your team developing the right chemistry and gelling so that they may reach their full potential,” said Taylor. “As well as your competitors improving and the CIAA is such a strong conference, you can expect improvement from every team especially within our division.” Johnson C. Smith opens the regular season on the road against Tuskegee University on November 13th at 3:00 p.m. The Lady Golden Bulls begin home play on November 20th as host of the 2010 Queen City Classic. JCSU will face Pfeiffer University at 4:00 p.m. JCSU begins conference play when it hosts St. Paul’s College on December 13th at 5:30 p.m. The CIAA tournament begins at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, N.C. on Feb. 28.

Presidental Vision
Johnson C. Smith’s 13th President, Dr. Ronald L. Carter, has issued a challenge to faculty, staff, students, staff, alumni, trustees and friends. He has envisioned a path to move JCSU from good to great on the educational landscape so that we may live on our growing edge. In his vision, he has six priorities that will outline the way we move forward: • • • • • •
Academic Excellence – Shift the weight between quantity and quality in the University’s policies and procedures that currently lean toward quantity, which in effect has led to inconsistent levels of Smith’s programs, faculty and students. Operational Performance – Develop a focused University strategy that is based on a comprehensive management information system and measureable outcomes. Advising Research Mastery – Attract, hire, and maintain a differential faculty of teacher-advisers, teacher scholars, and applied researchers. Diversity – Attract a critical mass of highly motivated, high achieving students across racial, ethnic, and national boundaries. Distinctive Student Experience – Accelerate the University’s scheduled maintenance plan, especially in the classrooms and dormitories. Community Engagement – Lead sustained and actionable conversations with the City and coalitions of developers concerning the revitalization of the Urban Distinct that is Johnson C. Smith’s front door.

Founded in 1867 under the auspices of the Committee on Freedmen of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., Johnson C. Smith University (JCSU) is an independent, private, coeducational institution of higher learning. Located in the rapidly growing metropolis of Charlotte, North Carolina, “Queen City of the South,” this historically African-American university has a residential campus with a familiar atmosphere in which students are stimulated and nurtured by dedicated and caring faculty and staff. Consistent with its Christian roots, the university recognizes the importance of moral and ethical values to undergird intellectual development and all endeavors. JCSU believes in the unrelenting pursuit of knowledge and in the values of cultivating the life of the mind. The university assigns great significance to the development of self-confidence, to the understanding of ones’ own heritage as well as an awareness of the cultures of others, to exploration of the myriad forces affecting people of a complex technological age, and to formulating a sense of one’s role in this schema.
The mission of JCSU is to provide an outstanding education for a diverse group of talented and highly motivated students from various ethnic, socioeconomic, and geographical backgrounds. The university offers a liberal education in conjunction with concentrated study in specialized fields, in preparation for advanced study and specific careers.

Regarding teaching effectiveness as paramount in its educational enterprise, JCSU has a commitment to the recruitment and retention of an outstanding faculty. To this end, the university promotes faculty development, encourages faculty involvement in research and other creative activities, and endorses the principles of academic freedom.

Dr. Ronald Carter
President of Johnson C. Smith University Dr. Ronald L. Carter, a native of High Point, N.C., became the 13th president of Johnson C. Smith University on July 1, 2008. With more than 30 years serving students and universities, Dr. Carter brings an impressive record of community leadership, academic administration, and budget management to the position. Upon graduating magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, with a Bachelor of Arts degree in sociology and philosophy from Morehouse College in 1971, Dr. Carter began his distinguished career at Boston University’s Martin Luther King Jr. Center, where by 1981, he rose to become the school’s youngest dean of students. While at Boston University, Dr. Carter pursued graduate studies, earning both a Master of Theology degree and a Ph.D. in philosophy of religion. In the late 1980s, Dr. Carter’s interaction with relatives of Nelson Mandela compelled him to put his abilities to work in South Africa. Prior to Mandela’s release from prison in 1990 and the abolition of apartheid, Dr. Carter was named senior administrator of the Health Services Development Unit at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. The program he served was dedicated to improving the health of local communities through the development of model approaches based on primary health care principles and decentralized rural health systems. Within five years at the university, he again defied the status quo by becoming the school’s dean of students— and one of the first black administrators at the traditionally white institution. As dean of students, he created and received funding for the Wits Black Schools Partnership Programme that brought the university together with more than 4,000 high school students to enhance learning in township schools that were disadvantaged by apartheid. In addition, he helped raise $500,000 to support an initiative between the BookSmart Foundation and the university to provide five computer centers and more than four million books to children, schools, and libraries in South African townships. Dr. Carter returned to the United States in 1997 as the provost and dean of faculty at Coker College in Hartsville, S.C. His almost 11-year tenure at Coker College included key roles in the private liberal arts college’s strategic planning, academic and student development, financial management, and fund-raising. At Coker College he created a Distinguished International Visiting Scholars Program and a Distinguished Lecture Series. He also provided guidance and oversight for the college’s Center for Leadership and Community Development, which partnered the college with community-based organizations, governmental departments, and funding organizations. A conceptual
framework he worked with at Coker College for assessing and evaluating student learning outcomes in general education has been published in Assessing Student Learning in General Education. His many community involvements have included serving as ethicist for the Pee Dee Regional Center Ethics Committee, chairman of the Darlington County Disabilities and Special Needs Board, member of the Greater Timmonsville Friends United Board of Directors, chair of the Darlington County Habitat for Humanity board, first vice-president and director of education of the Palmetto State and Baptist Convention, member of the Pee Dee United Negro College Fund Advisory Board, member of the Coastal Carolina University Dalton and Linda Floyd Mentoring Program Advisory Board, and vice president of the Hartsville Rotary Club. With research and teaching interests in the areas of medical ethics, ethical theory, and philosophic-religious issues, Dr. Carter has held faculty positions at both Coker College and Boston University. While at Boston University, he was director of the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Career, Educational and Counseling Services and served as senior editor of Debate and Understanding, a scholarly journal for the study of minority Americans’ economic, political, and social development. His expertise in medical ethics and community involvement have brought him several national appointments, including moderator for the National Meeting of the Medical Institute for Sexual Health (2004-2006), chair of expert panel for the Connecting Parenting Adults and Youth Project funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2006), and chair of expert review panel of scientific measurement for an abstinence rating tool funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2007). He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs in South Africa and in the U.S., discussing educational issues and policies. Among his many honors and awards, Dr. Carter was appointed a Sloan Scholar at Morehouse College, a Danforth Fellow at Boston University, and a Merrill Scholar, Robert College, Istanbul, Turkey. He was a senior fellow at the Stedman Graham Leadership Institute of Chicago, and nominated by South Carolina Governor Jim Hodges to serve as a member of the John De La Howe School Board of Trustees. In 2006, Dr. Carter was the recipient of the 2006 South Carolina Dance Association President’s Award for promoting and supporting dance in South Carolina. He was recognized in the 2005/2006 edition of Blackbook as an outstanding citizen who is making a difference in Eastern South Carolina. Since becoming president, Dr. Carter has become very involved
in the Charlotte community. Currently, he is a board member with the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce, Chair of the Charlotte Street Car Advisory Committee, Charlotte Center City Partners, Charlotte Museum of History, and Foundation for the Carolinas. He is the father of a daughter, Tumelo Rosalind Carter, and has been the foster parent of four other children.

Director of Athletics
Stephen Joyner, Sr.
Stephen Joyner enters his sixth full season as Johnson C. Smith University’s Director of Athletics, a position he has held since April 1, 2005. Joyner previously served as the University’s assistant director of athletics. He also holds his longstanding position as JCSU Men’s Head Basketball Coach. “In my role as Director of Athletics, my primary focus has been and will continue to be the day-to-day operations and supervision of the departmental staff, while striving to promote effective communication amongst JCSU faculty, staff, studentathletes, alumni, media, and the general public,” says Joyner. JCSU has enjoyed unparalleled success under Joyner’s watch. During the 2005-06 season, JCSU won three CIAA Western Division Championships. The Golden Bulls claimed CIAA titles in men’s tennis, women’s basketball, and men’s basketball. In addition to a strong year in the CIAA, two Golden Bulls teams advanced to NCAA post-season competition (men’s and women’s basketball). Men’s and women’s basketball repeated this success during the 2007-08 season and again last season, when both teams captured the CIAA Tournament Championship (2008-09). Along with their excellence on the field, JCSU student-athletes have reached new heights in the classroom during Joyner’s tenure at the helm of the athletics program. Since his arrival, nearly 200 student-athletes have received their undergraduate degrees, half have graduated with honors, and several have gone on to pursue graduate degrees. The Class of 2010 Valedictorian and Salutatorian were studentathletes from the men’s tennis team and women’s track and field, respectively. The Salutatorian has been student-athlete three times from the previous four graduating classes. During the 2008-09 season, Joyner earned his 400th career coaching victory, his third CIAA Tournament crown (2001, 2008, 2009), and he was named Athletic Director of the Year by the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Joyner recently completed his 22nd season as head coach of the JCSU Golden Bulls Basketball Team. His career record is 420-245. A native of Winston-Salem, NC, Joyner was the standout point guard for the Golden Bulls from 1969-73. For more than two decades, he has taken the men’s program to unprecedented levels, establishing J.C. Smith as one of the most competitive teams in the CIAA and NCAA DII basketball. Joyner earned a bachelor’s degree in Health and Physical Education from Johnson C. Smith University and a master’s degree in Guidance and Counseling from Virginia State University. Joyner and his wife, Narell, live in Charlotte, North Carolina. They have two sons and a daughter: Steve Jr., who serves as the Head Women’ Basketball Coach at Winston-Salem State University, Brian, and Janel, a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

CIAA Basketball History in the Making The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association is the oldest African-American athletic conference in the United States. Founded in 1912 on the campus of Hampton Institute (now Hampton University), the CIAA embodies a history rich in tradition which epitomizes the fortitude of its 10 colleges and universities. When the conference was founded it was originally known as the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Its founding fathers were Allen Washington and C.H. Williams of Hampton Institute; Earnest J. Marshall of Howard University; George Johnson of Lincoln University (PA); W.E. Atkins, Charles Fraser and H.P. Hargrove of Shaw University and J.W. Barco and J.W. Pierce of Virginia Union University. Student-athletes who compete in CIAA basketball this season continue a legacy of excellence that culminated in a competitive frenzy that began a half century ago. That culminating event was the first CIAA basketball tournament. Today, it is highly regarded as model for sports promotion. The first CIAA tournament was held at the end of the 1945-46 season in Turner’s Arena in Washington, D.C., where the North Carolina College men’s team reined victorious over that inaugural tournament. Lem Graves, who chronicled the tournament’s events for a weekly newspaper, wrote that it was the “all-time sports thrill of a lifetime.” Graves should receive a chorus of affirmation. The CIAA, which is comprised of 13 member institutions: Bowie State University, Chowan University, Elizabeth City State University, Fayetteville State University, Johnson C. Smith University, Lincoln University (PA), Livingstone College, Saint Augustine’s College, Saint Paul’s College, Shaw University, Virginia State University, Virginia Union University, and Winston-Salem State University, is divided into Northern and Southern Divisions, and sponsors sixteen annual championships. The men’s championships are football, cross country, basketball, indoor track, golf, outdoor track, baseball, and tennis. The eight women’s championships are cross country, basketball, indoor track, outdoor track, softball, volleyball, bowling and tennis. CIAA teams are recognized as national contenders in sports. In basketball, Virginia Union won NCAA Division II national titles in 2005, 1992, and 1980. North Carolina Central University (former affiliate) also won the national championship in 1989. CIAA basketball teams have appeared in the NCAA tournament each of the last thirty
years, and the conference has distinguished itself by having more teams compete for the national basketball title than any other conference at the Division II level. Division rivalries and heroic finishes are CIAA hallmarks. This season, more than any other, the legacy will surely continue… CIAA Sports Information Directors Association Greg Goings Sports Information Director Bowie State University goings@bowiestate.edu (301) 860-3574
