History The University of Charleston was founded by the Southern Methodist denomination in 1888 as Barboursville Seminary in Barboursville, West Virginia, and became a college in 1889. In 1901, it was renamed Morris Harvey College in honor of a prominent donor. During the Great Depression, the college moved to Charleston to take advantage of the larger metropolitan area. As a result of the merger between the Methodist church North and South, the college disaffiliated from the denomination and Morris Harvey College became independent in 1942. From 1935 to 1947, the college was located in downtown Charleston, holding classes in several separate buildings. During these years, the college grew steadily, in part because of a merger with Kanawha Junior College and an affiliation with the Mason College of Fine Arts and Music. Recognizing the need for a unified campus, in 1947 construction of the present facilities began on the south bank of the Kanawha River. The Board of Trustees changed the name from Morris Harvey College to the University of Charleston on December 13, 1978. Today, the University still benefits from its location in the dynamic capital city and from the beauty of West Virginia's hills. Proximity to the seat of government, to the state's largest medical, commercial, and financial centers and to major research and manufacturing facilities provides excellent opportunities for experiential learning. The University serves the community as a focal point for numerous intellectual, scientific, cultural, athletic and civic events. These interactions between the University and the community are vital to the achievement of the University's mission.

Head Coach Will Johnson
UC Men’s Head Golf Coach
Coach Will Johnson who was a 1998 graduate of the University of Charleston playing 4 years of college golf under Coach Mike Good, is an inspiring golfer and golf coach. Coach Johnson’s first year of being UC Men’s Head Golf Coach was in fall 2005/ spring 2006 and it was a good one, having competed in multiple tournaments winning 4 and falling just short of a the conference championship is something that he wanted to get use to but instead of coming up so close to winning actually do it in the coming years. It’s always tough on a new college coach to take over a program after the existing coach who has had as much success has Goach Good did but it’s something to feed off of. Coach Will Johnson has grown up in Charleston, WV his entire life having his whole family here makes it easy to stay around and be close with them. After his college career he went on and played some small golf professional tours where he learned a lot about what it takes to be an elite player. Currently he is a Real Estate agent ,he is married to his wife (Leslie) and they have 2 young boys (William and Charlie) that are growing up to fast. “Balancing out everything that goes on in his life, with golf and raising a family is tough says Coach Johnson but the family is what keeps me going.” “I love helping my golfers not only on the course but in life I try and teach them everything I know. I do everything I can for them while their away from home and we do well in golf I think all of them will be very successful men.” 11

WVIAC Conference
Commissioner Barry Blizzard has been at the helm of the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference since his appointment in November, 1987. Through his very able leadership as the conference's fourth commissioner, the WVIAC continues to enjoy national respectability and competiveness among the 16 member schools and 17 sponsored sports. One of the major accomplishments during Blizzard's tenure as WVIAC Commissioner has been managing the conference's transition from the NAIA to NCAA Division II, which occurred in the fall of 1995. Prior to NCAA affiliation, Barry held, at various times, a number of NAIA-related national and regional offices. One in particular was a term as president of the NAIA National Athletic Directors Association. Once in the NCAA, Commissioner Blizzard has become involved with its administrative matters and presently serves as the chairman of the Division II Awards Commissioners'' Association. He also has served as the regional chair of the selection committee for the Disney Wide World of Sports Basketball Tip-off Tournament. In addition, Blizzard has helped structure a model conference format for Division II league offices. He currently is the chair of the NCAA Division II Nominating Committee.
Barry's work in the field of intercollegiate athletics has not gone unnoticed by peers. He has received a number of awards including the NAIA's National Award of Merit for work as president of the Athletic Directors Association and the seventh annual Mike McLaughlin Memorial Administrative Award which is the WVIAC award recognizing persons who have made outstanding contributions to the conference for a period of years. Additionally, a report he authored,
NAIA Eligibility Rules, Time for a Change, was published in the spring 1986 edition of The Athletic Administrator, a publication of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. Blizzard's background in intercollegiate sports and sports management has served him well to deal with the tasks of overseeing this league. Before taking on his present position, he was the athletic director and sports information director at Bluefield State College, for 11 years beginning in 1976. A two-year period as assistant athletic director and SID, preceded this.

He previously served terms on the Division II Men's Golf Committee, the Division II Great Lakes Region
Softball Advisory Committee and the Division II Northeast Region Football Advisory Committee. In addition, Prewitt was also selected to be a part of the NCAA Division II Regionalization Advisory Board in the spring of 2007. Prewitt played a key role in bringing the 2006 NCAA D-II Men's Golf Championship to West Virginia and was the tournament's co-director. He has also been a part of the tournament staffs of over 30 national championships, including the Division II Softball, Division III Football, and Division III Men's Basketball events. Prewitt served as sports information director at Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tenn. from March, 1998 until arriving at the WVIAC. He was the primary media contact for the Pioneers' 14 varsity sports as the school moved to the NCAA Division II level and the South Atlantic Conference. He previously worked with the baseball and basketball programs at NCAA Division I Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. Prewitt was the sports information contact for the Mountaineer baseball program in 1996 and 1997.

About the WVIAC Founded in 1924, the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC) rates as one of the oldest leagues at the small-college level. The 16-member conference currently boasts the largest membership of any NCAA Division II league. The current membership includes Alderson- Broaddus College, Bluefield State College, University of Charleston, Concord University, Davis & Elkins College, Fairmont State University, Glenville State College, Ohio Valley University, Salem International University, Shepherd University, West Liberty State College, West Virginia State University, West Virginia Wesleyan College and Wheeling Jesuit University. The University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and Seton Hill University joined the WVIAC for the 2006-07 season. Pitt Johnstown and Seton Hill are the WVIAC’s first out-of-state members since 1932. The WVIAC moved into the NCAA Division II ranks in 1994 after a long affiliation with the NAIA. The conference was the only one in Division II to place a team in the national quarterfinals in men’s basketball, football and baseball during the 1998-99 academic year. In 2002 the WVIAC, along with two other conferences, became the first league to earn four bids to the NCAA Division II Men’s Basketball Championship. Commissioner Barry Blizzard, who has held the post since 1987, led the move into the NCAA. Blizzard, a native of Bramwell, West Virginia, previously served as the athletics director at Bluefield State. The long-time conference chief
has served in a variety of national leadership positions, including a stint as president of the Division II Conference Commissioners’ Association. He is currently the chairman of the NCAA Division II Nominating Committee. Alumni of conference members include West Virginia State’s Earl Lloyd (the first African-American to play in the National Basketball Association), Salem International’s Cecil Underwood (two-term West Virginia governor), Pitt Johnstown's John Murtha (current US representative), and Wheeling Jesuit’s John Beilein (current Michigan men’s basketball coach). The conference’s basketball tournament is one of the longest-running events in collegiate hoops; the 70th annual event was held earlier this year at the Charleston Civic Center. Attendance at the WVIAC tournament ranks among the highest in Division II. The conference also boasts a 10-station radio network for the tournament.
Women’s sports were incorporated into the WVIAC during the 1981-82 academic year as the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association was absorbed. Currently, women’s championships are offered in softball, golf, tennis, track, basketball, volleyball, cross country and soccer. Men’s championships are conducted in football, cross country, soccer, basketball, baseball, golf, tennis and track. The league was recognized by the State Journal as one of “55 Great Things About West Virginia” in the magazine’s April edition. The WVIAC is headquartered in Princeton, W.Va.
