“UPMC is thrilled to be a leading partner with Robert Morris University in this exciting endeavor that will provide long-lasting health and wellness benefits to not only the RMU community but also to people and businesses in this entire region. We applaud and share RMU’s commitment to provide our communities with nothing less than world-class care and facilities,” said Jeffrey Romoff, president and CEO of UPMC. As part of a broader strategic collaboration with RMU, UPMC will become the exclusive provider of sports medicine to the university’s 16 NCAA Division I sports programs, and the UPMC Health Plan will administer the university’s employees’ health insurance benefits.

The UPMC Events Center will bring the Airport Corridor an attractive new venue for public speakers, conventions, expos, concerts, graduation ceremonies and other family entertainment options. It also will host the university’s annual convocation and commencement ceremonies, which have outgrown their current location. All three teams that will play at Peoples Court — men’s and women’s basketball and women’s volleyball — have won the Northeast Conference title and advanced to the NCAA tournament in the last three years.

The Colonials advanced to their first NCAA Tournament, where they went on the road and upended Canisius in the opening round, 12-6.

Away from competition, the department of athletics continued to excel in the classroom with Coleman at the helm. Student-athletes who compete in 16 sports combined to post a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.440 during the 2017-18 academic year, with a total of 14 of RMU’s 16 programs finishing with team GPA’s of 3.2 or higher. Three student-athletes were named their respective sports NEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, while 12 hockey players, six each from the men’s and women’s program, posted perfect 4.00 GPA’s during the 201718 academic year. In addition, women’s lacrosse senior Dana Davis was named the 2018 NEC Student-Athlete of the Year, an honor bestowed annually that recognizes individual excellence in both the academic and athletic realms as well as leadership and contributions to one’s community. It is the highest honor given and encompasses all sports sponsored by the league. Davis became the second student-athlete from RMU to win the award, joining Nicole Sleith (2015).

Notes: A total of 24 Colonials have scored at least 30 points in a game on 46 occasions in school history … All-time leading scorer Myron Walker (1990-94) eclipsed the 30-point plateau on six occasions, a school record … Former guard Karvel Anderson (2012-14) scored at least 30 points in a game four times during his senior season in 2013-14, a single-season school record … Former forward Aaron Thomas (2000-04) owned the single-game scoring record for a total of four days, as he scored 39 points in a 96-86 victory @ UMKC (11/22/02), only to have it broken by Maurice Carter with 42 points @ Eastern Michigan (11/26/02) … A Colonial has scored at least 30 points against LIU Brooklyn four times, the most of any opponent.

Robert Morris University History Preparing Students for Success Since 1921.

Robert Morris University traces its history to 1921, when it opened its doors as the Pittsburgh School of Accountancy. In 1935 the school took the name of Robert Morris, the Founding Father and Pennsylvanian known as the “Financier of the American Revolution.” 1963 – First classes begin at a new residential campus in Moon Township after the college purchases Pine Hill Manor, a 230-acre summer estate, from Oliver Kaufmann, a philanthropist and executive of the Pittsburgh department store. 1969 – Now Robert Morris College, the school begins offering four-year bachelor’s degrees in business administration. 1977 – The Colonials men’s basketball team moves up to NCAA Division I after a string of winning seasons versus two-year colleges. 1978 – First graduate students are admitted for master’s degree programs in business administration, taxation, and business teacher education. 1983 – A year after its first trip to March Madness, “Bobby Mo” returns and beats Georgia Southern 64-54 in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament. 1986 – Fire destroys the Barn, the longtime home of Colonial Theatre. An Alumni Commons is built in its place, while Colonial Theatre moves to Massey Hall. 1921 – The first class of 26 students enrolls in the new Pittsburgh School of Accountancy. Founder Andrew Blass models the school on the Pace Institute in Washington, D.C., where he had been dean. 1935 – The school changes its name to the Robert Morris School of Business in honor of the Founding Father from Pennsylvania, and adds an applied business and secretarial studies division. 1942 – The Robert Morris School moves to the William Penn Hotel to make room for its growing enrollment. 1959 – The school purchases its own Downtown building at the intersection of Fifth and Sixth avenues. 1961 – Robert Morris students form the NFL’s first cheerleading squad, the “Steelerettes.” They cheer the Black and Gold throughout the ‘60s, until the team moves to Three Rivers Stadium. 1962 – The school becomes Robert Morris Junior College, changing from a for-profit business school to a nonprofit educational institution.

1999 – First doctoral program is offered with the D.Sc. in Information Systems and Communications. 2002 – Robert Morris University takes its current name, recognizing its status as an institution of higher learning with multiple schools and degree offerings. 2005 – The Colonials football program, holders of two national mid-major titles, moves from Moon Area High School field to the new Joe Walton Stadium. 2010 – RMU sells its Downtown building and moves all academic programs to the Moon Township campus. 2015 – Chris Howard is named the eighth president of Robert Morris University. 2016 – The opening of Scaife Hall for the School of Nursing and Health Sciences marks the third new academic building constructed on campus in five years. 2017 – Work begins on the UPMC Events Center, a new multipurpose complex for Colonials sports, plus conventions, concerts, and other events.

Robert Morris University Athletics From its fertile beginning as a men’s basketball junior college powerhouse to one of the most diverse athletic programs in the tri-state area, intercollegiate athletics and success at Robert Morris University go hand-in-hand. RMU offers 16 intercollegiate athletics programs, including the only men’s and women’s Division I ice hockey squads and Division I men’s lacrosse team in the Pittsburgh region. Over the last 42 years, the Colonials have claimed 47 conference regular-season championships and 47 league tournament titles. A total of 14 of RMU’s intercollegiate athletic programs have earned at least one tournament championship, with men’s basketball leading the way with eight Northeast Conference (NEC) Tournament titles. Men’s basketball has also claimed 11 NEC regular-season championships, the most in school history, while softball owns eight and football and volleyball have each claimed six. The latest program to earn an automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament for Robert Morris came in the spring of 2018, when the men’s lacrosse team earned a thrilling overtime victory at No. 20 Saint Joseph’s to claim their first NEC Tournament title in program history. The Colonials weren’t done there, as in the NCAA Tournament Opening Round, RMU again went on the road and posted a 12-6 victory over Canisius in Buffalo, N.Y., in a game that was seen live on

ESPN3. Four days later in front of a nationally televised audience on ESPNU, Robert Morris put a scare into No. 2 Maryland, owning a 6-3 halftime lead before eventually falling in College Park, Md., 14-11. Individually in 2017-18, redshirt senior Brittany Howard of the women’s ice hockey team put a cap on arguably the greatest career in program history. Thanks to 25 goals and 49 points in her final season of eligibility, Howard concluded her career as the program’s all-time leader in both categories. She finished with 181 career points, almost 50 more than second place, while also scoring 79 career goals. A two-time College Hockey America (CHA) Player of the Year and CHA Scoring Trophy winner (2017, 2018), Howard became the first RMU studentathlete to be honored by Dapper Dan Charities, as she was named the 2017 Sportswomen of the Year at the 82nd annual Dapper Dan Dinner & Sports Auction in February of 2018. In addition to the honors and recognition for Howard, junior Lilly Harnish was named the NEC Most Outstanding Performer in the jumps for both the indoor and outdoor seasons at the league’s annual championships. She is just the second student-athlete in school history to make it a clean sweep in both indoor and outdoor track & field, joining Nicole Downing, who swept the awards for field events in 2004.

Meanwhile, construction continues on the UPMC Events Center, a new facility for men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball that solidifies RMU’s status as an athletics program on the rise. The three programs will move into the state-of-theart venue in 2019. The exploits of the intercollegiate athletic program in 2017-18 has continued a trend that RMU has established since its move to Division I over four decades ago. Since 1982, Robert Morris has sent 27 teams to the NCAA Tournament. Men’s basketball has made an NEC record eight appearances, while volleyball has participated in six. The Colonial men’s basketball program qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 1982, 1983, 1989, 1990, 1992, 2009, 2010 and 2015, while volleyball made five straight appearances from 1999 to 2003 before earning the automatic bid in 2015. The women’s basketball team has appeared in five NCAA Tournaments (2007, 2008, 2014, 2016, 2017), while men’s soccer has appeared three times (1993, 1994, 2005). Softball (2005), men’s ice hockey (2014), men’s golf (2015), women’s ice hockey (2017) and men’s lacrosse (2018) have also earned automatic bids to the NCAA Tournament. Other programs to have claimed an NEC Tournament championship during that span include three in men’s golf (1995, 1996, 2015), two in men’s cross country (1986, 1987), men’s indoor track & field (1999, 2000) and women’s indoor track & field (1998, 2000) and one each in women’s tennis (1996) and men’s outdoor track & field (2000). The trend of success should come as no surprise. The men’s basketball program has appeared in a national postseason tournament seven times in the

last 11 years, including three NCAA Tournaments (2009, 2010, 2015), three NIT’s (2008, 2013, 2014) and the 2012 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). In 2013, Robert Morris became the center of the college basketball world by defeating defending national champion Kentucky in front of 3,444 fans at the Charles L. Sewall Center, the largest crowd in school history, in the first round of the NIT. In 2012, women’s ice hockey claimed its first College Hockey America (CHA) Tournament championship thanks to a 3-2 victory over Mercyhurst in the championship game at the RMU Island Sports Center. The football team earned the inaugural berth for the NEC in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) Playoffs in 2010 by claiming its sixth NEC regular-season title. In 2000, football finished 10-0, the first perfect campaign for any sport at RMU. In the process, the team won its second straight NCAA I-AA Mid-Major National Championship, according to Don Hansen’s National Football Weekly Gazette. The program moved into its own on-campus stadium, named Joe Walton Stadium in honor of the program’s first head coach, in 2005. The women’s rowing team claimed two straight Margaret McNiff Trophies in the varsity four classification at the prestigious Dad Vail Regatta in Philadelphia, Pa., in 2000 and 2001. Five teams achieved national rankings during the 1990s, with the 1994 softball team reaching No. 23, the 1994 men’s soccer team peaking at No. 16, the 1996 football squad finishing second in the NCAA I-AA non-scholarship ranks, the 1997 football team placing third and the 1999 football squad finishing No. 1.
