Wofford College consistently finds itself as a benchmark for what higher education should be now and in the future, and how students can find an exciting and fulfilling undergraduate experience that also is a good value both in financial investment and in value-added by that educational experience. The college consistently has scored high on the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE), which measures the level of academic challenge, active and collaborative learning, student-faculty interaction, enriching educational experiences, and a supportive campus environment. Wofford can be found in numerous commercial and non-commercial college guides that provide statistical information as well as perspectives from a variety of sources. Among those are U.S. News & World Report’s “America’s Best Colleges,” The Princeton Review College Guide; The Fiske Guide to Colleges, The (Yale) Insider’s Guide, and Peterson’s Colleges for Top Students. Forbes.com ranked Wofford as one of “America’s Best Colleges” in 2009, with the college being the highest rated institution in South Carolina. In its November 2009 issue, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine ranked Wofford among the nation’s best private college values, at number 31. Wofford consistently lands on “best value” lists in various other national college guides and publications. In U.S. News & World Report’s 2010 “America’s Best Colleges,” Wofford was included in “Great Schools, Great Prices,” a listing of 31 liberal arts colleges. Wofford ranks 6th in the country in the percentage of undergraduates receiving credit for studying abroad, according to Open Doors 2009, an annual report published by the New York-based Institute of International Education (IIE). The Village, Wofford’s apartment-style housing for its senior students, has earned a number of national recognitions.

Learning Communities, an interdisciplinary approach to learning that links courses in two or more departments through a common theme. The Novel Experience, a first-year reading and writing program that offers an introduction to the academic rigors of Wofford while familiarizing students with the Spartanburg community. The Creative Writing Concentration, a pro-gram led by outstanding published faculty writers that provides additional opportunities for students to hone their creative writing skills, earn coveted prizes and be-come published writers themselves. Presidential International Scholar, an oppor-tunity for an outstanding, intellectually gifted student to visit other parts of the world researching specific aca-demic areas of interest.

Wofford offers distinctive learning opportunities that set it apart from other liberal arts colleges. They provide students with meaningful study-abroad experi-ences, exciting and socially useful service opportunities, career-related and experiential learning possibilities, interaction with great academians from across the world, and exposure to renowned authors, artists, and business and professional leaders. Such “focal point” programs include, but are not limited to: The Interim, a January term that encourages students and faculty to explore new interests both on and off campus. The Bonner Scholar Program, a service-learn-ing scholarship program that places deserving students in volunteer positions throughout the community. The Success Initiative, a leadership and schol-arship program that offers practical, project-based ex-perience. The Vocational Discernment and Pre-Minis-terial Program, a counseling and mentoring approach to helping students make personal decisions regarding further study and careers in the ministry. Environmental Studies provides a creative and supportive learning environment that helps students pursue their goals in the rigorous and challenging pro-gram. It operates both on Wofford’s campus and at the new Glendale Shoals Environmental Studies Center at Glendale, S.C. The property where the center is located borders 19 acres of protected green space along the Lawson’s Fork Creek. Neuroscience, a program in which students ex-amine the nervous system and its regulation of behav-ior through an experimental approach, offered jointly by the Departments of Psychology and Biology. Computational Science, a fast-growing in-terdisciplinary field that is at the intersection of the sciences, computer science and mathematics, involves learning to store, retrieve, process and visualize massive amounts of information in web-accessed databases.

THE CAROLINA PANTHERS The Carolina Panthers have held training camp at Wofford since their inaugural season in1995. The camp provides Wofford tremendous national exposure and vis-ibility. Media members that visit Wofford during the five-week camp include ESPN, Fox Sports Net, USA Today and Sports Illustrated. Local print and television media from markets including Columbia, Charlotte, Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, Asheville and Greensboro/Winston-Salem are on campus on a daily basis. According to SI.com’s Tim Layden, “as I like to think of it: Training Camp Heaven. Wofford is 70 miles west of Charlotte on I-85, and presents all the reasons why there is something special about taking the team on the road for camp. Three pristine, Bermuda-grass fields with a stand of tall pines on two sides and a steep hillside -- where fans sit and watch -- on another. Fans, many of them young boys and girls, lined up along the fence, getting autographs after practice. It’s a scene straight out of football’s past.”

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

Richard Johnson is in his tenth year as director of athletics at Wofford College. The former head basketball coach has been an instrumental figure on campus for over 25 years. Johnson officially began his new duties on Dec. 3, 2001. In 17 years as head basketball coach at Wofford (1985-2002), Johnson had a 100 percent graduation rate for all players who completed their eligibility under him. He was the runner-up for SoCon Coach of the Year honors twice in the Terriers’ five seasons of league play under him. His 200th win was a 79-74 victory at Clemson during the 1999-2000 campaign. A 1976 graduate of The Citadel, Johnson came to Wofford after serving nine years as a basketball assistant at his alma mater under then-coach and now athletic director Les Robinson. Johnson also holds an MBA from The Citadel. During his Wofford coaching tenure, Johnson guided the Terriers from NAIA membership to NCAA Division II in 1988, Division I Independent status in 1995 and the Southern Conference in 1997. Over the past several years as athletic director, he also has been a driving force behind the development of several facility projects. Russell C. King Field and Switzer Stadium returned baseball to campus in 2003. The Richardson Building was renovated in 2008, while the Joe E. Taylor Athletic Building and a golf practice facility were completed in 2009. Johnson has also been responsible for the growth of the athletic endowment, with a long-term goal of endowing all scholarships in the department. He currently chairs the Southern Conference’s men’s basketball committee and is a member of the NCAA’s Men’s Basketball Issues Committee. Johnson and his wife Carol, have two daughters, Lindsay and Lauren, and a son, Rich. Lindsay is a 2001 Wofford graduate, Lauren graduated from Wofford in 2003 and Rich is a sophomore at the University of the South. The Johnsons also have three grandchildren. Lindsay and Brad Lowry are the parents of Louisa and Brady Lowry, while Lauren and Reece McWilliams are the parents of Mac McWilliams.

Dr. Jameica Hill, a professor of chemistry, is in her fifth year as the Faculty Athletic Representative (FAR) at Wofford. In her role as the FAR, Dr. Hill represents Wofford to the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the Southern Conference. The FAR is responsible for certifying the eligibility of student-athletes and assuring integrity in the eligibility process. In addition to supervising athletics policies, the FAR also serves as a liaison between the faculty and the student athletes, looking out for their individual well-being with regard to academics and athletics. Hill, a native of Due West, S.C. and a member of Phi Beta Kappa, earned her Ph.D. degree in inorganic chemistry at Clemson University, where she was a Graduate Teaching Assistant of the Year. She received Wofford’s 1995 Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award and was also an associate director for a summer program that was funded by a grant from the Howard Hughes Medical Center. Hill’s interest in athletics has been a lifelong one. Her father was a high school coach, and her two children are competitive in many different sports. As a professor at Wofford and the wife of Jason Hill ’89, a former Wofford quarterback and assistant coach, Hill has always supported Terrier athletics. Her daughter Shelby is active in competitive cheerleading (Level 5), while her son J.L. plays football as well as AAU basketball on a team based in Charlotte. Hill was also a cheerleader for the football and basketball teams as a student at Wofford.

PRESIDENT

Dr. Benjamin Bernard Dunlap took office as Wofford’s president in July 2000, becoming only the 10th chief executive in the 150-year history of the Phi Beta Kappa liberal arts college. A native of Columbia, S.C., Dunlap graduated summa cum laude from Sewanee: The University of the South in 1959. He attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar and Harvard University as a graduate student, receiving his Ph.D. in English Language and Literature in 1967. From that year until 1993, he held academic appointments at Harvard and the University of South Carolina, where he was awarded both the USC Teacher of the Year Award and the university’s Russell Award for Distinguished Scholarship. During that time, he twice served as a Fulbright Senior Lecturer in Bangkok, Thailand, and Chiang Mai, Thailand, and was also a member of the inaugural class of U.S.-Japan Leadership Fellows in Tokyo. In 1993, he accepted an appointment at Wofford College as the Chapman Family Professor in the Humanities, a position he still holds. In 2000, he became the 10th president of Wofford College. Dunlap’s academic fields include literature, intellectual history, Asian studies, film history and criticism, fiction writing, and the arts. On those subjects and others, especially leadership and higher education, he has lectured and spoken widely in this country and abroad including an appearance as one of “Fifty Remarkable People” at the 2007 TED Conference in Monterey. A frequent moderator for the Aspen Institute’s Executive and C.E.O. Seminars as well as its Henry Crown Fellowship and such affiliated programs as the Executive Seminar Asia, the Faculty Seminars at Wye, the Aspen-Rodel Fellowship, the Africa Leadership Initiative, the Central European Leadership Initiative, and the Liberty Fellowship of South Carolina, he has also designed and moderated seminars in Europe, Africa, and the United States for corporate clients as varied as the Netflix Corporation, Young & Rubicam, the Waters Global Forum, the Nova Chemical Corporation, and the Arab Banking Corporation. Dunlap’s many publications include poems, essays, anthologies, guides, and opera libretti as well as two novels in manuscript, Famous Dogs of the Civil War and Sunshine: The Autobiography of a Genius. As a writer-producer and on-camera talent for public television, he has been a major contributor to more than 200 programs, for which he has won numerous national and international awards, and, for four and a half years in the 1970’s and 80’s, he performed as soloist and principal dancer for the Columbia City Ballet. Since 1963, he has been married to Anne Boyd Dunlap. They have three grown children. In 2006, he was awarded an honorary doctorate by his alma mater, Sewanee: The University of the South.

Ridgeway fired a 3-under par 285 at the 1997 Ping Welch’s Champion-ship to garner a fifth-place result, one of her six career top 10 finishes. She also had 10 top 15 showings while placing in the top 25 on 21 occasions. In addition to playing on the regular tour, she also competed in over 260 char-ity and corporate pro-am events.

Robinson played in the World Amateur Team Championship

RIO GRANDE, Puerto Rico -- Former Wofford women’s golfer Laura Robinson ’05 (Paget, Bermuda) represented her home country in the World Amateur Team Championship, Oct. 20-23, 2004, at the Rio Mar Country Club in Rio Grande, Puerto Rico. The tournament took place at two courses at the country club. The Ocean course was slated for 6,076 yards, and the River course was set for 5,854 yards, both at par 72. Each country which competed sent three participants for the 72-hole stroke play format. The lowest two scores per nation for the 51 women’s teams counted towards the Espirito Santo Trophy. “This is like a major championship for amateur golf and that’s the way we plan to treat it,” said Sidney Wolf, president of the Puerto Rico Golf Association, prior to the event. In order to be eligible for the event, players must have been amateur golfers under the Rules of Amateur Status of either The Royal

and Ancient Golf Club in St. Andrews, Scotland, or the U.S. Golf Association. “It’s a huge honor for her,” said former Terrier associate director of golf and current head women’s coach Angie Ridgeway. “To have a member of your own program in any type of world event is tremendous. We are all proud of her no matter what she accomplishes during the event. She certainly has the talent to play with anyone there.” Robinson was allowed to carry her Wofford golf bag during the World Amateur Team Championship.

Elon fired a 19-over par 307 on the strength of three Phoenix scorers in the top 10 following round one women’s golf competition Monday March 3, at the Diet Coke Wofford Invitational at The Carolina Country Club in Spartanburg, S.C. The tournament began at 11 a.m. Monday with a shotgun start and concluded with nearly all players completing nine holes in the second round, which started a day early due to possible inclement weather Tuesday. However, the threat of inclement weather forced the cancellation of the second round Tuesday. Although heavy rains were expected in the area during the afternoon, lightning strikes were detected within the 10-mile radius boundary set by the NCAA forcing play to be halted before it was scheduled to begin with an 8:30 a.m. shotgun. Elon, the only other Southern Conference school in the field besides host Wofford, took control of a nine-shot lead after the first 18 holes. Samantha Widmer helped put the Phoenix on top with a second-place 36-39--75 (+3), two shots behind the leader, Danielle Gibb of Jacksonville who posted a 38-35--73 (+1) despite windy conditions. Elon, the first round leader after Monday’s first 18 holes, was declared the team champion with its 19-over par 307. Host Wofford placed second, nine strokes be-hind the Phoenix. Junior Erin Wells led the host Terriers with a ninth-place tie after carding a 40-37--77 (+5). Wofford team-mates Alex Rankin and Colleen Rice each tallied a 6-over par 78 to provide Wofford with a trio in the top 15.

The Wofford men’s and women’s golf teams, beginning in the fall of 2006, utilize the newly renovated Golf Learning Center on campus. Thanks to generous gifts from many friends, families and alumni, the Terrier programs have a first-class indoor facility which is exclusively reserved for their use. The center is located on the upper floor of Andrews Field House, the former varsity on-campus gymnasium. The venue contains 17 lockers, one for each of the men’s and women’s student-athletes, a hitting area, video capabilities for swing and technique study and storage capacities. With a clubhouse-type locker room setting, the Terriers can study their academic courses or review their golf game on a large HDTV. Two computer stations are also available with full email and internet access.

THE RICHARDSON BUILDING The home of the Wofford College Athletic Department is the Richardson Physical Activities Building. The facility includes offices for the administration, football, basketball and other sports on the second floor. Also included on the second floor is an aerobic dance room and weight room with machine and free weights along with a variety of cardio machines. Locker rooms for football, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer and a training room are located on the first floor. Wofford alumnus and Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson made a $1 mil-lion donation in 2008 that was used for enhancing the Richardson Building. Numerous improvements were made in the twelve-year old facility to ensure that it is one of the most advanced athletic facilities in the nation. Enhancements to the Richardson Building include new paint and carpet in the entire facility. The coaching and administration suites have been reconfigured to provide better reception areas. Football and men’s basketball offices are outfitted with a new video system, including computers, editing software and large-screen monitors. This new system is similar to those being used by the NFL and NBA. Inside the Harley Room, a new audio/video system was installed to handle the variety of events held in the room. New displays for academic honors, Southern Confer-ence honors and the Hall of Fame are a part of the project. Additional murals and photos compliment the building and give it a fresh look. In addition, the fitness facilities have been upgraded as well. Nearly $100,000 worth of new equipment was added to supplement the current selection of treadmills and elliptical machines. The cardio area features six flat panel televisions for viewing while working out. The fitness area is used by the entire student body at Wofford.

MISSION STATEMENTThe Wofford College Strength and Conditioning Department embraces the mission of both the college and athletic department. The mission of our program is to foster a positive, safe, challenging, and training environment. Our approach allows coaches, athletic trainers, and athletes to work together towards developing an athlete’s full physical and mental potential. A focal point of our training programs will be to not spend too much time training one specific aspect of development, but to train with balance. We will be hitting all areas, not neglecting another to prevent injury. Our coaches will inspire the athletes to be consistent, disciplined, and to put forth a great effort every day; never allowing their feelings to affect their performance.

THE PHILOSOPHYThe Strength and Conditioning Program consists of a year-round training philosophy designed to improve all aspects of physical and mental development of each athlete. The training cycles consist of different phases, all of which follow sound fundamental training principle and periodization ranging from low to high intensity and high to low volume. These are all encompassing sport specific macrocycles, mesocycles, and microcycles, which will allow each athlete the best opportunity for reaching maximum genetic potential.

GOALThe goal is to improve the strength, speed, agility, balance, and coordination of the athletes. We will further develop proprioception, kinesthetic awareness, eye-hand and eye-foot coordination. We will be focusing on injury prevention, flexibility, and overall power of the athletes trained under the direction of the strength and conditioning department. This will enable each athlete to have the skills and tools necessary to achieve success.

The Southern Conference, which began its 89th season of intercollegiate competition in 2009, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from

conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

MEMBERSHIP HISTORY On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech)

and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the withdrawing group,

The Southern Conference office is located in the refurbished Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, less than a mile from the Wofford campus.

regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford.

CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track

and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball.

Wofford won the 2003, 2007 and 2010 SoCon Football Championships.

The City’s origins predate the Revolutionary War. Spartanburg was named for a unit of American Revolu-tion forces called the “Spartan Rifles” who helped defeat the British at the Battle of Cowpens in 1781, under the leadership of General Daniel Morgan. The town of Spartanburg was incorporated in 1831 and later as a city in 1880 by the 13 Original States and Tennessee. During this time Spartanburg was booming due in large part to the rapidly expanding textile indus-try. In the 1870s, Spartanburg became a railroad “hub city,” with mainline railroads extending from Magnolia Street depot in all directions, taking passengers and freight to Charleston, Augus ta, Atlanta, Asheville, Char-lotte and points beyond. As many as 90 trains per day could be seen and heard operating in Spartanburg dur-ing the golden age of the American railroad, 1900-20. During the 1920s, Spartanburg built South Caro lina’s first municipal airport and claimed the state’s first com-mercial radio station (WSPA). Its leader ship in the state was reflected by the election of several residents as gov-ernor. Thousands of U.S. soldiers bound for overseas service in World Wars I and II trained at camps in Spartanburg. The post headquarters for Camp Wadsworth (1917-19) was located at the present site of WestGate Mall, and the Camp Croft (1940-45) was located south of the city. Much of that military reservation has become Croft

State Park. After World War II, Spartanburg made a con certed ef-fort to promote its location at the junction of Interstates 85 and 26 to international business. One of the greatest successes of this campaign was the development of the BMW manufacturing center near the Greenville-Spar-tanburg Airport. Spartanburg’s downtown, which always has been anchored by the campuses of Wofford and Converse Colleges, has been undergoing a major revival since the mid-1990s. In addition to the corporate headquarters for Denny’s, Advance America, QS-1 and several other companies, the city has acquired a magnificant public library, the Marriott Hotel at Renaissance Park and most recently, the Chapman Arts Center and the USC Upstate George Dean Johnson School of Business. The area surrounding Morgan Square gradually is redevelop-ing with a variety of interesting restaurants and urban apartment-style housing. Throughout the 20th century, textile manufac turing companies formed the backbone of the Spartanburg

economy. The most significant of these companies still in operation is internation ally respected Milliken & Company. Blessed by geography and climate as well as by energetic and well-educated citizenry, Spartan burg is emerging as one of the centers of a 21st century me-troplex that extends along the South Carolina portion of the I-85 corridor.
