Longwood Women’s Soccer is 48-15-3 at the Athletics Complex since 2006, including the 2008 United Soccer Conference Tournament Championship.
The Athletics Complex is a multi-field complex that serves as home to Longwood men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey, and women’s lacrosse. The soccer facility features a Bermuda natural grass turf field with permanent lighting, scoreboard, and spectator bleacher seating for approximately 350. There is additional seating on a grass incline, and a unique new pressbox made from modified and recycled freight containers installed in November 2008. The pressbox features all steel welded construction and windows with double pane insulated tempered glass, created from shipping containers and designed with energy efficient and environmentally friendly construction in support of Longwood’s sustainability program. The box has a rooftop platform for professional sports videographers. The $5.5 million project opened during the spring of 2006 and includes an adjacent synthetic turf field for field hockey and women’s lacrosse that also features permanent lighting, scoreboard and spectator bleacher seating for approximately 350 with additional seating on a grass incline as well. An identical pressbox was installed at the same time. The supporting structures for the two fields include an entrance pavilion with ticket booths, restrooms and a concession area that were put in place during the summer of 2007, along with separate support buildings that provide team locker rooms, a maintenance room and a utility room. Parking and access pathways are also provided. The locker rooms were upgraded prior to 2011. Longwood women’s soccer completed its initial season at the Athletics Complex during 2006, finishing 7-1-1, and followed with records of 6-4 in 2007, 8-2 in 2008, 6-1 in 2009, 8-2 in 2010 and 5-4-1 in 2011. The Lancers were 8-1-1 in 2012, as the program is now 48-15-3 overall through seven years at the venue. Longwood will host eight regular season matches at the Athletics Complex during 2013, highlighted by six Big South Conference matches and a visit by in-state opponent James Team members celebrate their 1-0 triumph past Utah Valley University November 3, 2008 at the Athletics Complex to win the 2008 United Soccer Conference Tournament Title.

Longwood University became the 12th member of the Big South Conference on July 1, 2012. Embarking on its 30th year in 2013-14, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by notable accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.” The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid – receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 17 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new heights. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during his tenure, as he has brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and women’s lacrosse for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and oversaw the additions of men’s and women’s indoor track & field in 1997 and women’s lacrosse in 2013. At the same time, Kallander has solidified Conference membership, as an all-time high 12 member institutions comprise the 30-year old League. Recent additions include High Point, Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live video streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 900 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms. Since 2000, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had an individual National Champion six times, has had more than 300 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & field, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship seven times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the first women’s golf program advance to the national finals, had the No. 1 ranked men’s golfer in the country, had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team five consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, has received two at-large playoff berths in the Football Championship Subdivision since 2006, has had six NFL Draft picks, and has had two institutions finish in the top 10 in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- including the Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event (fifth in 2007). In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed four times -- including a national seed for the first time in 2010, while the Chanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s Sam Chelanga win two NCAA National Championships (cross country, 10,000-meter run); Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reach the Super Regionals for the second time in three years as well as being ranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No. 3 in the national polls; and three women’s basketball teams reach the postseason for the first time in Conference history. In 2010-11, Chelanga won two more NCAA National Championships (cross country, outdoor 5,000-meter run), the Big South had its first automatic bid recipient in football (Coastal Carolina), UNC Asheville reached the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament, Coastal Carolina’s women’s golf team was the first in Conference history to advance to the NCAA Championship out of Regional play, and a League-record 18 baseball players were drafted in the 2011 MLB First-Year Player Draft. In 2011-12, the Big South had a record five individuals selected for the NCAA Men’s Golf Regionals -- the most of any Division I conference, as well

as a record 42 All-Americans. This past season, the Big South had 32 student-athletes earn All-America distinction, while another 12 were named Academic All-Americans. The Conference also had two football playoff teams – and two playoff wins -- for the first time, had a women’s basketball team win a postseason game for the first time since 2005, had a League-record four men’s basketball teams selected for postseason play, had two men’s soccer teams reach the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season, and had two men’s and women’s golf programs selected for NCAA Regional play. Several former Big South student-athletes have also reached national prominence in recent years. Coastal Carolina’s Amber Campbell made the U.S. Olympic Team in 2008 and 2012, and was one of five former Big South athletes to compete in the 2008 Games; High Point’s Tamas Kovacs qualified for the 2012 London Games; VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with the Golden State Warriors in 2010, UNC Asheville’s Ty Wigginton was named an American League All-Star in 2010, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson has won seven PGA Tour events since departing the Big South Conference in 2007. Three former Big South baseball players made their major league debuts in 2012, while Avery Warley became the third Big South women’s basketball player to play in the WNBA two years ago. The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years. The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. For the past four years, nearly 50 percent of Conference’s studentathletes were named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average for the academic year, and the League has had more than 110 Academic All-Americans in its history. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR progress the last four years. As part of this year’s 30th anniversary celebration, the League will recognize All-Decade Teams for each sport spanning the Conference’s first three decades of existence.

Longwood experienced much success during its first year in the Big South Conference, completing season one with an impressive 8-2-1 league record en route to finishing 13-6-2 overall. The Lancers tied for second place during the regular season, hosting a quarterfinal while advancing to the semifinals of the Big South Women’s Soccer Championship. Longwood posted its highest win total as a Division I program, and equaled the sixth-highest win total in the 19-year history of the program founded by 20th-year head coach Todd Dyer ‘93. The Lancers return six starters among 20 letterwinners from a year ago, and nine talented newcomers have been added to the roster. So what does Dyer, who has an outstanding career record of 206-125-22 and 15 winning seasons as the sport's only head coach, envision for an encore in 2013? “Last year we had a small taste of success in the conference regular season and tournament, so we’d like to see if we can take things even further this year,” said Dyer. “On that same note, we all realize that this is a new year and a new team and it’s a matter of earning it all over again and not just building on last season.” Among returners, senior midfielder Kelsey Pardue was named to the All-Big South First Team, while sophomores Olivia Colella and Meghan Magee were each named to the All-Freshman Team a year ago. Pardue, who started all 21 matches, led the team in scoring with seven goals and six assists for 20 points, and earned National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Southeast Region Third Team honors. She led the team in every offensive category for the second consecutive season, including goals, assists, points, shots (63), shots on goal (30) and game-winning goals (five), and was also named Longwood's Female Athlete of the Year. Colella started 10 of 20 matches and the forward/midfielder added three goals and one assist for seven points, while Magee, a defender, also started every contest and helped the squad to 10 shutouts and added an assist last season. “As good a player as Pardue is, the fact of the matter is that she’ll be a marked woman this year and will have to work even harder to continue her success and growth as a player,” said Dyer. “She’s very capable of meeting that challenge, but the key is allowing her teammates to shoulder some of that burden as well. With Olivia, I think her best soccer is still ahead of her and her versatility up top and in midfield is going to allow us to utilize her in a variety of ways. We gave Magee a lot of responsibility last year at the center back position and this year she needs to continue to take more ownership of that backline and become a consistent leader in that area of the field for us.” The other returning starters include junior forward Kelsey McDonald, sophomore midfielder Alana Mackey, junior defender Taylor Cave and senior defender Chelsea Walter. McDonald started all 21 matches, as well, and contributed three goals and three assists for nine points. Mackey also started every contest, adding one goal for two points. Cave started 20 of 21 matches and had one assist for one point. Walter started 16 of 18 contests. “Mac continues to grow as a player and has really stepped up as a leader for this group,” said Dyer. “She’s one of our strongest athletes whose soccer instincts allow her to be in the center of the action wherever it occurs on the field. Cave is one of our most consistent performers on the backline, yet she continues to push herself and strive for greater things. With Chelsea, don’t make the mistake of thinking that her quiet demeanor is a reflection of how she plays the game. Quite the opposite, she’s very tenacious at the outside back position and her actions speak much louder than her words.” Additional top returning scorers include junior midfielder Kylie Dyer, junior midfielder/forward Samantha Phillips and sophomore forward Haylea Witz/Chesapeake. Dyer, the daughter of the head coach, played in 19 matches and had three goals and one assist for seven points. Phillips started seven of 21 contests with two goals for four points. Witz started two of 21 matches and also had two goals for four points. “Kylie scored some big goals for us last year and we’re hoping for more of the same this time around,” said Dyer. “Sam came into preseason in the best shape of her life and really looks strong heading into the season. She’ll most likely start in central midfield for us, but we’re counting on her to be a factor wherever she fits into the lineup. Haylea has a year under her belt now and continues to work hard, so we’re anticipating an even greater impact this fall.” Other returning letterwinners include graduate goalkeeper Shelby Hall, redshirt-junior goalkeeper Dana Wallace, junior defender/forward Rebecca Soares, junior forward Lexi Jones, junior midfielder Kelsey Trace, sophomore goalkeeper Hailey Machen, sophomore midfielder/forward Sarah Watson, sophomore midfielder/forward Bridget Bergquist, sophomore defender Katie Beebe and sophomore defender Amelia McConnell. Hall started one of four matches, allowing three goals (1.60), and will get the first opportunity to start in front of the net this season. Wallace played briefly in one contest. Soares started two of 17 matches, mostly as a defender. Jones played in one contest, and Trace played in five matches, while Machen did not see action but is expected to challenge Hall for playing time. Watson played in three contests. Bergquist started three of 21 matches with one goal for two points. Beebe started four of 17 contests, and McConnell played in one match. “With this group of returners that gained a great deal of experience last season, it’s now just a matter of seeing who plays themselves into the mix regarding playing time or even a starting position,” said Dyer. “With Shelby having graduated and returned for her final year of eligibility, I’m sure she has big plans at the goalkeeper position and she’s extremely motivated to take full advantage of this opportunity.” New to the program this year are sophomore forward Lilly Payne, along with eight freshmen, including forward Christina Corbin, forward/midfielder Gina D’Orazio, forward/midfielder Natalie Fry, midfielder Nickie Ivey, defender Jordan Metzger, defender Jessica O’Bryant, defender/midfielder Amanda Spencer and forward Ashley Weidner. “With all of our first year players, the big question is how quickly they can transition to the demands and challenges of soccer and academics at the Division I level,” said Dyer. “They all have the tools to contribute and have an impact this year, so it’s just a matter of finding that balance which will allow them to perform to the best of their ability.” Longwood will again play a 19-match, regular-season schedule that features 11 Big South matches, including six league home contests at the Athletics Complex in Farmville. The Lancers are 48-15-3 on their home turf since beginning competition at the facility in 2006, including 8-1-1 at home last season, as the program is now 41-14-2 at the Athletics Complex since becoming DI eligible for the 2007 season. “On top of a very competitive league schedule, this is the toughest non-conference schedule we’ve ever put together,” said Dyer. “We did that for a reason and it is to better prepare us for post-season play. We’ll have to play well and be mentally tough throughout the season in order to get positive results, but if we’re able to do so, we’ll be well equipped as we head into our conference tournament.” The 2013 Big South Women’s Soccer Championship will feature the top eight teams playing quarterfinal matches at the four highest seeds on November 2, followed by semifinal matches on November 8 and the tournament championship contest on November 10, hosted by Coastal Carolina in Conway, South Carolina. “The ultimate goal is to extend our season as long as possible and earn the right to play in the postseason,” said Dyer. “To do that, we must perform consistently throughout the year and make sure we’re playing our best soccer at the end of the year. I like our team and I like our chances, so now it’s time to get to work and embrace this journey together. Go Lancers!” Longwood also received the NSCAA Team Academic Award for the fourth consecutive year with an overall team GPA of 3.41 attained during the previous 2011-12 academic year, and expects to receive this distinction again for efforts during 2012-13. First-year assistant coach Rich Stoneman joins the program, as well.

LoNGWooD UNiVerSiTY With a legacy of learning dating back more than 170 years, Longwood University has developed a meaningful learning environment that extends far beyond the classroom. Founded in 1839 as the Farmville Female Seminary Association, the school was a pioneer first in private and later in public education. The state of Virginia acquired the school in 1884 and renamed it as the Normal School, the first state institution of higher learning for women in Virginia. Over the years, the school expanded its curricula and had a succession of names, becoming Longwood College in 1949 and fully coeducational in 1976. On April 24, 2002, history was again made at Longwood when Gov. Mark Warner signed legislation that designated Longwood as a university, effective July 1, 2002.
The legacy that began in 1839 continues today as Longwood University offers more than 100 majors, minors and concentrations to more than 4,800 students. Given its historical roots, Longwood University enjoys an enviable reputation for teacher preparation. But the excellence has expanded throughout the university with strong programs in the liberal arts and sciences, business, and professional and pre-professional programs. Today the coeducational, comprehensive state university comprises four separate colleges: the Cook-Cole College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business and Economics, the College of Education and Human Services and the College of Graduate and Professional Studies. The graduate college offers programs in education, communication sciences and disorders, English and sociology, as well as an MBA degree. Under the leadership of Interim President Marge Connelly, Longwood is committed to developing citizen leaders and provides a meaningful learning environment. Students get an excellent grounding in theory then translate their newly acquired knowledge into action by doing research, internships, fieldwork and community service. Recognizing the value of experiential learning, Longwood is one of the few universities in the country to require all students to complete an internship or similar learning experience before graduation. Additionally, Longwood was the first institution in Virginia to require that every freshman have a laptop computer. Technology is integrated throughout the learning process—an essential element for preparing the leaders of tomorrow. The Greenwood Library supports Longwood’s mission of developing citizen leaders through a comprehensive array of services and resources. It is a learning-centered environment that fosters intellectual exchange, scholarly communication, cultural enrichment, lifelong infor-
33
mation literacy and creative expression. In addition, the library provides more than 343,000 titles, 8,000 DVDs, 5,100 CDs, 900 print journal subscriptions, and 160 electronic databases with access to more than 51,000 full-text electronic journals. The library also provides integrated technology for information retrieval from libraries throughout the world. This state-of-the-art facility is named in honor of Longwood’s 22nd president, Dr. Janet Daly Greenwood who served from 1981 to 1987. Longwood provides a range of business services to the region and state through the Longwood Small Business Development Center, while the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts serves as an important and innovative study center and cultural resource for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Longwood University also has a tremendous economic and cultural impact on Farmville and the surrounding communities. A study conducted by the Longwood Small Business Development Center estimates that university employees, students and visitors spent more than $90 million in 2007—with 66 percent of that amount being spent in Farmville and the eight surrounding counties. The Longwood campus, located in the heart of historic Farmville, Va., provides excellent facilities while reflecting the charm, beauty and character associated with its long heritage. The campus community was enhanced with the opening of Brock Commons, a beautiful pedestrian promenade that provides a central focal point for the Longwood campus while eliminating traffic congestion and safety hazards. Fountains, walkways, outdoor sculpture and beautiful landscaping contribute to Brock Commons, creating a parklike atmosphere for students, faculty, staff and the public. Longwood’s signature building, Ruffner Hall, was rededicated on April 23, 2005, and replicates the university’s most beloved building and its beautiful rotunda, dating to the 1880s, which burned on April 24, 2001, while undergoing a $12 million renovation. The original eight paintings on the interior of the rotunda dome, created in 1905 by the Italian-born artist Eugene D. Monfalcone of Richmond, have been returned to the dome following an extensive restoration that was under way prior to the fire. The historic Joan of Arc statue, known affectionately as “Joanie on the Stony,” was also restored recently and returned to its place of honor on the main floor beneath the rotunda. The larger-thanlife sculpture is a reproduction of the famous 1870 original created by French sculptor Henri-Michel-Antoine Chapu. The statue was a gift of the Class of 1914 and symbolizes Joan of Arc as the patron saint of Longwood. Ruffner Hall was reconstructed in the classic style based on the original blueprints and drawings from the state archives in Richmond. The 83,143-square-foot building houses 22 classrooms, four academic departments, the offices of the Vice President for Academic Affairs and the deans of the College of Graduate and Professional Studies and the Cook-Cole College of Arts and Sciences, named for benefactors Dr. John R. Cook (Class of 1952) and Dr. Waverly M. Cole. Between Ruffner Hall and Blackwell Hall, a sunlit hallway forms the Cole Gallery, which features a collection of more than 500 pieces of 19th-century Bohemian glass, Meissen porcelain and English pottery donated to the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts by Dr. Cole. Standing guard over this rare collection of decorative arts, with her sword held high, is the recently renovated equestrian statue of Joan of Arc, or “Joanie on the Pony,” by Anna Vaughn Hyatt Huntington. Adjoining the Cole Gallery is Blackwell Hall, opened in 1920 as the campus dining hall. This historic facility, which survived the Great Fire of 2001, was named in the mid-1970s in memory of Dr. Herbert R. Blackwell, professor of English and dean of the college. Today, following a recent renovation and conversion, Blackwell Hall has a new role providing space for social, cultural and educational events for the campus and community. Along with Blackwell Hall, the extensive renovation included the adjacent Virginia and Prince Edward meeting rooms.

The Chichester Science Center opened Dec. 6, 2005. The 70,822square-foot facility includes 23 classrooms and laboratories, 47 faculty offices and additional research space for both undergraduate and graduate research projects. The building, which was named in 2007 in honor of John H. and Karen Williams Chichester (Class of 1974), features a state-of-the-art, climate-controlled environment with safety ventilation systems and hazardous materials safeguards, as well as a high-tech infrastructure for classrooms, laboratories and distance-learning facilities. A greenhouse and herbarium, housing the world’s largest collection of Virginia plant specimens, are located on the roof. More recently, a multifaceted Health and Fitness Center opened in August 2007. Located on Main Street adjacent to Frazer Residence Hall, the 74,683-square-foot, 2-1/2-story facility features a wide range of amenities including an indoor track, basketball and racquetball courts, a climbing wall, workout rooms, juice bar, and the latest weight, exercise and training equipment. The building received a Gold Certification Rating in Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) from the U.S. Green Building Council. One of the more popular buildings on campus is the two-story, 60,000-square-foot Dorrill Dining Hall located on Brock Commons across from the Lankford Student Union. Named in honor of Dr. William Franklin Dorrill, Longwood’s 23rd president, this multipurpose facility with its curved, colonnaded portico overlooking Iler Field was the first on campus to utilize geothermal heating and cooling. The flexible interior design provides space for banquets, meetings and special events along with a Grand Dining Room seating 500 and an arcade seating an additional 700. In fall 2009, the Center for Communication Studies and Theatre opened a new era for one of Longwood’s fastest-growing programs. The three-story, 41,983-square-foot building is home to the Department of Communication Studies and Theatre and Longwood Theatre productions, and is situated between the south end of Bedford Hall and Franklin Street across from the Hull Education Center. The new building features a highly flexible 174-seat “black box” theater, in which the seats and stage can be moved around. A studio theater, of about 80 seats and also flexible, will be used for student productions. There is also a scene shop, a costume shop and a drafting lab. The center also houses the Jack Blanton Gallery, which features more than 160 of the 230 pieces of artwork donated by Jack Blanton to the Longwood Center for the Visual Arts. More than 1,300 students reside in three campus-managed apartment communities: Longwood Landings at Mid-Town Square, Longwood Village and Lancer Village. Some of the amenities and features of the apartments are private bedrooms (some with private baths), full kitchens (most with dishwashers), washer-dryer units, large living areas, high-speed Internet and cable television. Two of the three communities have fitness rooms, and one has a swimming pool and a game room. On campus, Wheeler and Cox Halls recently reopened following complete renovations. These residence halls now include elevators, air conditioning, bathrooms with ceramic tile and new fixtures, contemporary study rooms with modern amenities, and common areas with outside terraces. Longwood Landings at Mid-Town Square, which opened in August 2006, is a residential village that includes four four-story buildings with the top three floors dedicated to student housing and the ground floor devoted to leased retail space. Longwood students occupy 96 four-bedroom and 24 single-room apartments. Retailers include Barnes & Noble, which operates Longwood’s bookstore and includes a Starbucks Café, and a Chick-fil-A and Moe’s Southwest Grill operated by Longwood Dining Services (ARAMARK). Willett Hall, named for former Longwood President Henry I. Willett Jr., is a health, physical education and recreation complex located on Brock Commons. It has a gymnasium with 1,807 seats; a complete
weight-training laboratory; a 25-meter pool with a 1-meter board, underwater lighting and observation window; a 350-seat natatorium; a modern dance studio with a floating floor and staging capacity; and one of the state’s best-equipped laboratories for the study of human performance as it relates to exercise, sports, health and the arts. A 3,000-square-foot addition to Willett Hall houses a sports medicine/rehabilitation facility for the health, recreation and kinesiology programs.
Not far from campus students can enjoy the facilities at Longwood Estate, which features a complex of athletic fields for field hockey, lacrosse and soccer, along with a nine-hole golf course. The president’s home, Longwood House, is situated on the estate.

CommoNWeALTh oF VirGiNiA The Commonwealth of Virginia is one of the original 13 colonies. Named for the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I of England, Virginia was England’s first successful overseas colony and the site of the first permanent English settlement in America. West Virginia was part of Virginia until 1863. Virginia’s rich political heritage helped shape the democratic principles on which the United States was founded. Virginia played
35
an important role in the American Revolution (1775-1783), and it entered the Union as the 10th of the original 13 states on June 25, 1788. During the American Civil War (1861-1865) the state’s capital, Richmond, was also capital of the Confederacy. The state has long been nicknamed Old Dominion. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and James Monroe, all Virginians, were founding fathers of the United States and were among the first five U.S. presidents. Virginia is also the birthplace of U.S. presidents William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, and Woodrow Wilson. Virginia is the 35th largest state in the United States, bounded on the east by the Atlantic Ocean, on the north and east by Maryland and the District of Columbia, on the west by West Virginia and Kentucky, and on the south by Tennessee and North Carolina. According to the 2010 national census, Virginia’s population was 8,001,024, ranking it 12th among the states. Virginia Beach (435,619) is one of the most popular resort destinations on the East Coast, as well as Virginia’s largest city. Richmond (192,913) is the state capital and a center of banking and insurance, and of both retail and wholesale trade. The Naval Base at Norfolk (229,112) and the Naval Shipyard at Portsmouth (101,377) employ thousands of civilians and military personnel. Hampton (145,017) is important for its aviation activities such as Langley Air Force Base and a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) facility. In Newport News (178,281) is a shipyard that builds naval ships, including aircraft carriers. Alexandria (136,974) is part of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Lynchburg (67,720) is the site of light industries. Roanoke (91,552) is the largest city in western Virginia. Civilian and military employment, mostly with the federal government, is an essential part of the Virginia economy. The Pentagon, which houses the Department of Defense, is located in Virginia and is the leading federal employer in the northern part of the state. There are also important military bases in Virginia, particularly the massive complex of army, navy, and air force bases in the vicinity of Norfolk. Average January temperatures range from less than 32°F in the west to more than 42°F in southeastern Virginia. Average July temperatures range from more than 78°F in the southeast to less than 68°F in the western mountains. Total precipitation ranges from about 35 to more than 50 inches. Snowfalls are moderate, except in the mountain regions. Besides Virginia, three other states - Kentucky, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania - use the term commonwealth as part of their official names. The delegates to the convention in Williamsburg, when the first Constitution of Virginia was adopted on June 29, 1776, used commonwealth as the name for the new form of government. It is very likely they had in mind the Puritans’ rebellion against the Crown in England more than 100 years earlier. Pennsylvania and Massachusetts also chose to be called commonwealths after independence from Great Britain. The other 10 former colonies took the name “state,” the term used in the Declaration of Independence. Kentucky was once part of Virginia. When Kentuckians joined the Union as the 15th state in 1792, it also kept the name commonwealth.
