the Big south conference
Longwood University became the 12th member of the Big South Conference on July 1, 2012. Since its founding in 1983, 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 athletic 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 2012-13 academic year features the Big South’s largest membership (12) and sponsored sports (19) in its 29 years of existence. 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 fullfledged NCAA Division I status. In the last 15 years alone, 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 280 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, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 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). 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 19832008, 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. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 100 Academic All-Americans in its 28 years of existence. Furthermore, the Big South has recorded double figure totals in NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR progress the last three years.

Kevin Fillman is in his 16th year at Longwood University during 2012-13. He additionally served as the school's compliance coordinator during 2002-03, and was the interim assistant athletics director for compliance and budget during 2001-02. Longwood completed 2011-12 with two tournament wins among five top-five finishes with seven top-10 team efforts overall while establishing a new school-record scoring average of 294.72. Fillman has led the Lancers to 20 tournament wins during his tenure, including 10 titles garnered during the past five campaigns. Longwood completed 2010-11 with one tournament win and two third-place finishes among 10 top-10 team efforts overall. The Lancers finished 2009-10 with one tournament win among its eight top-10 team finishes in 11 tournament competitions with a runners-up finish as well. Longwood won three tournaments to go along with two runner-up efforts while enjoying nine top-10 efforts among 11 tournament dates during 2008-09. Fillman led his program to a 2007 NCAA East Regional appearance in its first year of Division I eligibility, finishing 27th, led by a new individual scoring average record established by Adam Webb ’10 (73.46). He was named the 2007 Coach of the Year for the Mid-Atlantic Region by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA), as well as the 2007 Division I Independent Coach of the Year. That team posted 11 top-10 team finishes in 11 events, including one win and four runners-up efforts. His 2007-08 team posted three tournament wins and three runner-up finishes among 12 top-10 efforts in 12 tournaments. Longwood established new school-records during 2005-06 for team 18-hole scoring (277), 36-hole scoring (563), and 54-hole scoring (852). That squad had nine top-10 efforts in 10 events, including a runners-up finish. Prior to Longwood’s four-year Division I Reclassification, he had led the Lancers to consecutive NCAA Regional appearances (2003, 2002), and four post-season NCAA appearances overall either as a team or individually. Longwood placed seventh at the Atlantic Regional in 2003; fourth at the Atlantic Regional in 2002; and 12th at the North Regional in 1998. The Lancers sent two individuals to the NCAA South Regional in 2001. A 1990 cum laude graduate of Ohio Wesleyan University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in journalism, Fillman participated in three NCAA Division III Championships as a member of the Battling Bishop golf team. He was selected as an All-America Scholar by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) as a senior, when Ohio Wesleyan finished as national runners-up. Fillman also earned first-team All-North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) honors that year. A standout player at Ohio Wesleyan under the direction of legendary coach Dr. Richard Gordin, a charter member of the College Golf Coaches Hall of Fame, Fillman helped the Bishops to three consecutive NCAC team championships as well as eight other tournament titles from 1988-90. In addition to helping Ohio Wesleyan to a second-place finish at the 1990 NCAA Division III Championships, he competed for teams that recorded respective fourth- and third-place showings at the 1988 and 1989 NCAA Division III Championships. Prior to joining the Longwood coaching staff, Fillman served as sports information director at Goucher (Md.) College from 199197. During that time, he stayed involved in golf by working with the Goucher club team as well as with several Baltimore-area high school and junior programs. While at Goucher, Fillman also spent one season as the men's tennis coach and served as the main athletics administrator for a seven-month period. A competitive player since age 13, Fillman continues to play a limited schedule of amateur events at the local, state, and national levels. A native of Newcomerstown, Ohio, Fillman (45) led Newcomerstown High to respective fifth- and fourth-place finishes at the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA) Championships as a junior and senior. He was a three-time first-team All-Inter Valley Conference and all-district selection and was a medalist at both the sectional and district tournaments en route to being named Eastern District Player of the Year as a senior. Fillman also earned letters and postseason honors in basketball and baseball. Fillman received his Master of Education degree in health and physical education from Frostburg State (Md.) University in 1991, where his thesis was entitled, "The Use of Proper Preshot Behavioral-Mental Techniques to Improve Performance in Competitive Golfers." He also served as an assistant sports information director while at Frostburg State. Coach Fillman is a member of the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) and the United States Golf Association (USGA). He previously served as a member of the GCAA Records Committee. In addition to playing a limited tournament schedule, Fillman serves as a coach and instructor at junior golf camps during the summer, including the Central Ohio Golf Academy at Ohio Wesleyan. Fillman and his wife, Joanna, have two sons: Ross (16) and Cole (12).

Head coach: Kevin Fillman (16th-year) coacH fILLMan on tHE 2012 faLL | 2013 sPrInG sEasons “While I can’t say it came as a complete surprise, I can say the fall season certainly didn’t go as planned. I thought we worked hard, and our guys played with good effort for the most part. We just didn’t perform very well. There’s no excuses. This is a program in which winning golf tournaments – or, in the very least, having the opportunity to win golf tournaments – has become the expectation. It wasn’t very long ago that we won five times in a 10-tournament stretch, so to not have been competitive or even finish in the top half of a single event during the fall is not acceptable to me, to our alumni or, hopefully, to our players. We’ve definitely lost a lot to graduation the past few years, but it’s up to the players on the current roster to continue what those before them have built. We have a long way to go to get back to being competitive, but I do believe people become stronger for having gone through adversity. Moving forward, we’re going to continue to work hard and learn from those previous experiences. We’ve gotten a number of things done with some guys during the winter, which will, hopefully, make their way to the golf course this spring. I also believe the break will do us a lot of good and should allow us to come back mentally and emotionally refreshed. At this point, our goals are pretty simple. We want to get better every day and to be at our best for the Big South Championships.”

Head Coach Kevin Fillman: “In the past, Dylan’s gotten away by relying strictly on his ability to hit the golf ball. Because of that, he’s played a few great rounds, a lot of quality rounds and a few poor rounds. To take advantage of his ballstriking and allow him to post more scores on the lower end of the scale, we’ve worked very hard on getting the ball in the hole over the past couple years. He’s shown glimpses, but it’s only a matter of time before Dylan puts it all together for a long stretch.” 2012-13: Third-year team member … career average of 75.79 through 52 rounds to rank ninth all-time. fall 2012: Averaged career-best 74.93 through 15 rounds … fall-best 18-hole score (70) at the OBX Collegiate Invitational … fall-best 36-hole score of 148 (73-75) at the OBX Collegiate Invitational … fall-best 54-hole score of 218 (73-75-70) at the OBX Collegiate Invitational … one top-20 finish. 2011-12: Averaged 75.63 through 27 rounds … career-best, tournamentrecord and school-record 18-hole score (63) at The Manor Intercollegiate, tying course-record … career-best 36-hole score of 140 (77-63) at The Manor Intercollegiate … career-best 54-hole score of 209 (77-63-69) at The Manor Intercollegiate … medalist at The Manor Intercollegiate with new tournament-record (209) … one top-five finish … Longwood Scholar-Athlete Award. 2010-11: Averaged 77.50 through 10 rounds … medalist at the HampdenSydney Invitational (71-76--147) … season-best 18-hole score (71) at the Hampden-Sydney Invitational … season-best 36-hole score of 147 (71-76) at the Hampden-Sydney Invitational … season-best 54-hole score of 230 (7475-81) at The Manor Intercollegiate … one top-five finish among two top-20 finishes.

All the worry about things that are out of his control and, quite honestly, don’t matter at the time, led to a very wide scoring range during the fall.

The Longwood University men’s golf team earned an invitation to the 2007 NCAA Division I East Regional Championships as the Lancers advanced to postseason during their first year of Division I eligibility. Longwood was one of four teams from the Mid-Atlantic Region and among 27 teams and six individuals (not on a selected team) invited to the 54-hole East Regional that was played May 1719 at The Golf Club of Georgia in Atlanta. There were three regional sites of competition (81 teams, 18 individuals) toward qualifications to the 110th Annual Division I Men’s Golf Championships that took place May 30-June 2 at the Golden Horseshoe Golf Club’s Gold Course in Williamsburg. “We have all worked extremely hard to get to this point,” said head coach Kevin Fillman at the time of the selection. “Our players deserve this opportunity. It has been our goal for the past two years to make the regional tournament in our first year of eligibility, so it’s a relief to be in. Now that we’ve met that goal, it changes things a little. Our new goal is to go play at our highest possible level and see if it’s good enough for us to advance to the National Championships.” Longwood finished the regular season with a new school-record (at the time) 296.83 team scoring average through 23 rounds. The Lancers earned one tournament title (Mount St. Mary’s, 881) while compiling eight top-three team finishes among top10 efforts in all 11 tournament competitions, led by freshman standout Adam Webb who averaged a new school-record (at the time) 72.78. Webb won two events (Liberty/Radford, 139; Mount St. Mary’s, 216) while posting six top-five finishes among nine top-10 efforts overall with a low round of 68 two times as well as a round of 69. Webb was joined in the lineup by sophomore Scooter Buhrman and junior Mark Coradi as team members who had played all 23 rounds at the time. Buhrman averaged 73.96 with two runner-up finishes among his five top-10 efforts overall with a low round of 70 two times. Coradi averaged 74.57 with one second-place effort among his three top10 finishes overall with a low round of 68 one time. Webb, Buhrman, and Coradi were joined that spring by redshirt senior Michael Joyce (17 rounds, 77.35 average, low round of 73 two times) and redshirt junior Brett Chambers (17 rounds, 77.65, low round of 74 three times). Longwood posted five team rounds under 290, including a low round of 284, among 14 rounds under 300 during the campaign. The Lancers had four-straight runner-up finishes this spring prior to winning their final event April 20-21 at Mount St. Mary’s tournament. scooter Buhrman
Also on the Longwood roster during 2006-07 were senior Chris Shuford (77.20), junior John Rosenstock (78.83), sophomore Allain Blanchard (82.80), along with freshmen Greg Brouse (84.25) and Garrison Fowler (81.33). Longwood men’s golf had Division I eligibility during 2006-07 via the NCAA’s Multidivisional Reclassification (along with women’s lacrosse), one year ahead of the school’s remaining 12 sports that gained their respective DI eligibility on September 1, 2007. The only other Virginia schools earning invitations to the NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championships that year were Virginia Tech and Old Dominion via their respective conference championships.

Longwood Golf club
The Longwood Golf Club, one of just three college-owned golf course facilities in Virginia, is home to the men’s golf program. It was previously the site of the Tina Barrett Invitational from 1991-2000, hosted by the women’s team and named for the four-time All-American and 19-year LPGA Tour player. Located just steps from the President’s house one mile from campus, the Longwood Golf Club includes a challenging nine-hole layout with four sets of tees, two practice greens with practice sand bunkers, a practice range, and a golf shop.
the Manor resort Golf club Longwood also has use of The Manor Resort Golf Club located just south of Farmville and only minutes from campus. It is a oneof-a-kind golf course in a spectacular setting and features bent grass greens, fairways, and tees. Chosen as one of the "Best New Golf Courses of 2007" by Golf Digest Magazine (#4). The Lancers host an annual 54-hole tournament at the venue. The seventh Manor Intercollegiate is scheduled for April 12-13, 2013 and will feature Longwood along with Bucknell, Central Connecticut, Delaware, Drexel, Long Island, St. Bonaventure, Wagner and Washington & Lee. Longwood posted a 54-hole score of 304-290-298--892 while finishing third among nine teams at the 2011 Manor Intercollegiate on April 13-14, 2012. The Lancers did have the top two individual finishers, including sophomore medalist Dylan Jensen with his seven-under par tournament record score of 77-63-69--209 among the field of 61. Jensen’s second-round 63 tied the course record and is a also new school record. Senior Kenny Leech finished as runner-up with his consistent three-under par 71-71-71--213. “The Manor Resort Golf Club will always be a great test. Even though its yardage reads 7,214, it's not a place you can go try to overpower. Players really have to place their golf ball around it, and ones who do will score well.” -- Head Coach Kevin Fillman 2012 Manor Intercollegiate final team results 1. Seton Hall 2. Delaware 3.

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 information literacy and creative expression. In addition, the library provides
21
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 70,822-
22
Longwood University
square-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. Nearly 1,000 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, highspeed 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.

Many additional points of interest are within a short distance of the Farmville area. 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 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.
