From Daniel W. Ball 

President 

M 

arge and I are enjoying our 12th season with Lander University, and the athletic events are 

some of the more memorable and exciting times for both of us. 

Our two sons competed at the collegiate level, so we know firsthand the role athletics plays in each 

university’s strategic plan. We are aware of the lessons of life which are learned on the playing fields 

and courts. Whether it be basketball, baseball, soccer, softball, tennis or volleyball, sports provide a 

common denominator for all of us. 

It seems that in a basketball arena everyone can appreciate the electricity of the slam dunk, the 

coolness of the clutch free throw and the pressure of a last-second shot. And after the most amazing 

of plays, it’s all right if you jump out of your seat and give the guy behind you a high five. 

That’s what athletics is all about. And it happens right here in Lander’s Horne Arena. 

Coach Kevin Pederson and the Lady Bearcats, and Coach Jeff Burkhamer and the men’s basketball 

team have my best wishes for a successful and injury-free season. 

Please join Marge and me as we support our Bearcats. 

From Jeff May 

Athletics Director 

Welcome to Lander University Basketball 2011-12! We are excited about the upcoming season 

and anticipate a strong showing by the Bearcats. I invite and encourage you to support coaches 

Jeff Burkhamer and Steve Roberts and our team by attending as many games as your schedule 

will permit. Make each game a family night out and also bring a friend. 

Please take time to familiarize yourself with this publication. It provides excellent information on 

our coaches, the history of the program and, most importantly, our student-athletes who represent 

Lander. 

“To be a member of a Lander University intercollegiate team is both a privilege and a responsibility. We 

expect and demand that our student-athletes excel in the classroom as well as on the courts and fi elds and 

that they perform with pride, poise and proper conduct. Character, citizenship and a spirit of volunteerism are 

also expected of those who compete on behalf of Lander University. We believe these self-discipline activities 

will assist all student-athletes in obtaining a degree and will equally benefi t them in becoming contributing 

members of society."

Bearcats add depth, are more athletic in 2011-12 

Asked what the Lander men’s basketball team needs to improve 

on the most in the 2011-2012 season, Bearcats thirdyear 

head coach Jeff Burkhamer gave a one-word response. 

“Offense,” he said. 

Lander has more experience, depth and versatility this season 

than last. The Bearcats hope this will translate into more scoring 

and more victories. 

“We have to do a better job scoring,” Burkhamer said. “We 

have guarded people pretty well. We have stayed in games with 

our defense. We just haven’t been 

good enough offensively.” 

“This year, we have added some 

proven scorers,” said Burkhamer 

“If we are able to score more points 

and continue to guard well, it’s going 

to help us in those close games. 

“We will be better able to finish 

some of those close games instead 

of losing by one or two possessions, 

now we can win by two or 

three possessions.” 

The Bearcats have seven returning 

players this season and six new 

players, most of whom also have 

significant college playing experience 

including several with All- 

Conference honors at their previous 

schools. 

The seven returning players are 

seniors Jermel Kennedy (Malton, 

Ontario) and Darion Canty

sophomores Darius Carrier (Charlotte, N.C.), Stefan Tabasevic 

(Belgrade, Serbia), Mac Mitchell (Charleston, S.C.) and Cody 

Waterworth (Snellville, Ga.). 

Newcomers include seniors Dwight Tolbert (Tifton, Ga.) and 

Dennis Rumph (Lake Worth, Fla.), juniors Corey Wright (Harlem, 

N.Y.), Patrick Powell (Columbus, Ga.) and Michael Lowe 

(Greenwood, S.C.) and freshman Scott Elder (Perth, Australia). 

“We are excited about the seven guys we’ve got back, and we 

are excited about the seven new guys we’ve brought in,” Burkhamer 

said. “We have experience coming back in all the positions, 

because the returning players played valuable minutes last 

year. And we have a lot of experienced kids who played at other 

places joining our returning players. 

“We have a good group to work with, we have depth this year, 

and we are going to be able to do some different things on both 

ends of the floor. There is not a lot of difference in talent from top 

to bottom, so we will be able to play more people. We are long, 

quick and athletic. We aren’t extremely big, but the league (Peach 

Belt) is probably a little smaller than it has been in the past.” 

With the exception of Elder, 12 of Lander’s 13 players have 

college experience. 

Last year, the Bearcats only had one returning player in senior 

Tovi Bailey. 

“We started over last year and decided to build from the 

ground up with a solid foundation of young players,” Burkhamer 

said. “We got a lot of experience. We lost a lot of close games 

with those young kids. That experience will pay off this year, 

with knowing how to prepare, battle and win in this league.” 

Pruett and Kennedy were Lander’s statistical leaders last year 

and will be relied upon heavily in 2011-2012, as will former All- 

Peach Belt transfer Dwight Tolbert, who last played at Armstrong 

Atlantic State three seasons ago. 

“Pruett, Kennedy, Tolbert … you 

start with those three because they have 

been successful in the league, and you 

build around them,” Burkhamer said. 

Pruett, a 6-foot-4 wing, led the 

Bearcats in scoring (15.5 points per 

game), 3-point shooting (64-of-164, 

39 percent) and free-throw percentage 

(89-of-107, 83 percent) last year. He 

ranked fourth in the PBC in three pointers 

made per game and was seventh 

in scoring and free throw percentage. 

The sharp shooter scored 25 or more 

points in a game six times, including a 

career-high 34 points versus Southern 

Wesleyan. The two-time PBC Player 

of the Week also finished the season 

strong, averaging 23 points over the 

last five games. 

“David has got to be one of the best 

shooters in the country,” Burkhamer 

said. “He is a really good catch-and-shoot guy, and he has added 

being able to get his own shot off the dribble.” 

Kennedy, a 6-6 post, was a double-double machine for Lander, 

scoring and rebounding in double figures in the same game nine 

times last year. He totaled 10.2 points and 8.4 rebounds per 

game, scoring a career-high 22 points at Francis Marion. Kennedy 

was was third in the PBC in rebounding and led or shared the 

team high in rebounds in 20 of 26 games, including 36 rebounds 

in a two-game stretch (19 versus Clayton State and 17 against 

Armstrong Atlantic) in February. 

“Jermel Kennedy is a real athletic, active post player,” Burkkhamer 

said. “He is not real big weight-wise, but his ability to be 

quick and play against bigger guys has been good for us. He had 

a great summer. I think he is getting better offensively and we 

know he will be active on the boards.” 

A member of the last Armstrong Atlantic State team that 

Burkhamer coached three years ago (2008-09), Tolbert led the 

Pirates to a 23-7 record and an NCAA Tournament berth when 

he averaged 15.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game and was the 

PBC Player of the Week once. The first-team All-Peach Belt 

selection scored in double figures in 22 games.

Coach Jeff Burkhamer’s Prospectus 

Bearcats have more depth and are more athletic in 2011-12 

Continued from previous page 

“I think Dwight will be one of the top five players in the 

league,” Burkhamer said of the 6-5 senior. “He is so versatile. He 

will be our starting three (wing), but can also play the four position 

because he is strong enough to do that. 

“He can shoot it from 3-point range (42 percent in 2008-09), 

can drive it, can post up, goes to the offensive glass, gets to the 

foul line and makes free throws. It may take a while to get him 

back into game shape, but skillwise and talentwise, he is as good 

as anybody in the league.” 

In addition to Pruett and Kennedy, Burkhamer welcomes back 

five more players including Canty (6.5 points per game last 

season), Carrier (4.5 points), Tabasevic (3.5 points), Mitchell and 

Waterworth. 

“Canty is a guy who just brings intensity every day,” Burkhamer 

said of the 6-3 wing. “He is our most vocal leader. Darion does 

not have great size, but he seems to be able to play in our league 

because of his activity.” 

Carrier and Tabasevic, along with Elder, are Lander’s tallest 

players at 6-8. 

“Carrier has gotten bigger and stronger,” Burkhamer said. “He 

had a great summer and is continuing to improve skillwise. 

“Tabasevic has gotten bigger and stronger over the summer,” 

Burkhamer said of the versatile wing-forward. “We need him 

to be a guy who can play the three or four and stretch defenses 

because of the way he shoots the ball.” 

Mitchell and Waterworth received valuable playing time last 

season. 

“Mitchell got bigger and stronger, and will be able to really 

help us at the point,” Burkhamer said. “Cody Waterworth lost 

about 20 pounds over the summer. He is moving and shooting a 

lot better. He has improved his game.” 

The newcomers bring plenty of promise to Lander, including 

the 6-foot Wright who played 31 games as a freshman at Division 

I Long Island University before transferring to Broward Community 

College in Florida. He averaged 15 points and 5.2 assists per 

game while making the All-Conference team at Broward. 

Powell is a 6-foot wing who led all Alabama junior colleges 

in scoring in the 2009-2010 season with 20.4 points per game at 

Northwest-Shoals Community College. He sat out last season. 

Rumph played one season at Allen County Junior College, 

one at Gannon University and one at Palm Beach Community 

College. At Allen County, the 6-6 Rumph was named to the 

All-Jayhawk Conference team after averaging nine points, eight 

rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots per game. 

Joining Rumph in the post is Elder, who played at Marianapolis 

Prep School in Connecticut last year where he averaged 8.5 

points and 6.5 rebounds per game. Prior to Marianapolis, Elder 

played for the Western Australia State team and competed in the 

Under 16 and Under 18 Australian National Championships. 

Lowe returns to his hometown after spending two years at 

Spartanburg Methodist College, where he averaged 3.0 points 

and 1.5 rebounds per game last season. He scored a career-high 

24 points against Mississippi Elite. 

The regular season schedule features a road game at rival Erskine 

College, and games against Young Harris College (home and 

away), Lenoir-Rhyne, Allen, Southern Wesleyan, and the College 

of Coastal Georgia, in addition to a tough PBC slate. The first 

Peach Belt game is Nov. 30 at Francis Marion. 

Program Goals and Objectives 

• To graduate 100 percent of our student-athletes. 

• To win the PBC regular season and PBC tournament championships and compete in NCAA postseason play. 

• To have the most productive recruiting class in the region and conference. 

• To instill life skills in our student-athletes. 

• To prepare our athletes academically, athletically and socially for life after graduation/basketball. 

The Bearcats’ Game Plan 

The Lander University men's basketball program has entered a new era under the leadership of Coach Jeff 

Burkhamer. “We are looking for fine young men with the desire, work ethic and ability to move our program to 

national prominence in NCAA basketball in years ahead.” 

Tough man-to-man pressure defense and an up-tempo, fast-breaking-style offense will characterize the Bearcats 

style of play in 2011-12. Burkhamer adds, “Our success will depend on how quickly our players adjust to our 

system of play and their ability to come together as a close-knit team.” 

We will build a successful program at Lander with good people. We have high expectations of our players as 

students, as role models in public and as competitors on the court. Our goals are higher than 10 feet!” 


Burkhamer enters third year as Bearcat coach 

Jeff Burkhamer became only the fourth head men's 

basketball coach in Lander history when he was hired on 

March 26, 2009. 

Burkhamer enters his third season as 

the LU head coach. During his first 

two seasons at Lander, Burkhamer 

laid the groundwork for building 

future Bearcat success. The 2009-10 

team was ladened with seven seniors 

who Burkhamer replaced in 2011- 

11 with eight freshmen and sophomores. 

The Bearcats have had some 

impressive wins during the past two 

Jeff Burkhamer 

seasons and numerous close losses. 

The foundation for success is now set with seven returning 

players. 

Prior to coming to Lander, Burkhamer led PBC rival 

Armstrong Atlantic to a 134-73 record, including a 23-7 

mark in 2008-09. His overall 13-year head coaching 

record is 310-148, a .676 winning percentage. Burkhamer 

led AASU to the NCAA tournament four times in seven 

seasons. 

Prior to coaching at AASU, Burkhamer was the associate 

head coach at NCAA Division I Marshall University, 

helping guide the Thundering Herd to a 70-44 record in the 

Mid-American Conference. 

He was the head coach at Santa Fe Community College 

(1994-98) in Gainesville, Fla., where he led the Saints to 

two Mid-Florida Conference titles. He earned National 

Junior College Coach of the Year honors by College 

Sport Magazine in 1995-96 as the Saints set a school-record 

28 wins, including 21 straight to start the season. In four 

seasons, the Saints went 97-31 under Burkhamer. 

He was the assistant coach for the Grand Rapids Hoops 

of the CBA, the developmental league of the NBA from 

1991-94, winning three conference titles and coaching in 

the CBA finals one year. 

At North Greenville College (1989-91), Burkhamer 

posted an overall 58-10 record in two seasons and twice 

earned NJCAA Region 10 Coach of the Year, while leading 

the Mounties to back-to-back top 12 finishes and national 

tournament berths. 

He started his coaching career as an assistant coach at 

Winthrop University (1984-85), then moved to Charleston 

Southern (1985-87) and Morehead State (1987-89).

Burkhamer earned his bachelor’s degree in 1984 and his 

master’s degree from Morehead 

State in 1989. He was a fouryear 

letterman for the Battlers 

in basketball and baseball and 

holds the school’s all-time assist 

mark with 646. He was inducted 

into the Battler Hall of Fame in 

2001. He was honored by the 

Parkersburg News and Sentinel in 

2004 as a member of their Silver 

2006 Atlanta Tip-Off Club Anniversary team, which included 

Naismith Awards Georgia the top high school players for the 

Collegiate Coach of the Year. past 25 years in the Parkersburg, 

W.V., area. 

Burkhamer and his wife, Diane, have two daughters, Melissa, 

a Lander junior, and Lindsey, a sophomore at Greenwood High 

School. 

What were the most important factors in your decision to become 

the head basketball coach at Lander? 

The people, the support and the caring that goes into having 

a successful program. I felt that our president, Dr. Ball, and our 

athletic director, Jeff May, were the type of people that I wanted 

to work for and their vision for Lander basketball was similar 

to mine. I also felt they would support our quest for success and 

would care about our program. There is a sincere desire to win at 

Lander and to do things in a first-class manner. Our scholarship 

packages, our all-you-can-eat cafeteria, our on-campus life in 

the dorms, a beautiful arena, and a caring faculty and staff who 

are willing to work with the student-athletes made my decision 

easy. Plus, Greenwood is a great place to live and raise a family. 

I have been so impressed with the number of people who have 

welcomed me and our family and who have offered assistance 

in so many different ways. Lander and Greenwood must be a 

great place to be because so many people go to school here and 

then stay in the Greenwood community to live, work and raise a 

family. 

Why is Lander University such a special place to go to college 

and to play basketball? 

The people at Lander and in the Greenwood community are 

friendly, supportive and caring. Academically, our players know 

their professors and the professors know our players. Our players 

can get one-on-one help and hands-on experience in state-ofthe-art 

classroom settings at Lander. We have an outstanding 

academic support system that is geared toward success in the 

classroom. A college diploma is a valuable tool and you will be 

marketable in the work world upon completion of your degree. 

Lander is also a terrific place to play basketball because of the 

philosophy of our basketball program. We want good people, 

individuals who will work to get their degrees, and players who 

will compete on the basketball court. We want the “total package” 

at Lander and we want to give you more than just basketball. 

Our goals are higher than 10 feet! We have all of the things 


that a student-athlete needs to be successful at Lander. 

What are some of the key ingredients in building and sustaining 

a successful basketball program? 

There are a number of factors that go into building and sustaining 

a successful basketball program. I believe you must have the 

support of the administration and they must feel that athletics are 

an integral part of the campus community. Next, I think you must 

have tremendous people around you – assistant coaches, managers 

and trainers, as well as other support personnel. But, the 

most important group is PLAYERS! You must have good players 

to have a chance to be a good team. We must do a great job of 

recruiting players who can compete in the Peach Belt Conference 

and at the NCAA Division II national level. We want good people 

who are responsible off the court and in the classroom. On the 

court, we will recruit players who have basketball skills, work 

ethic and toughness, and a love, passion and desire for competition. 

What They’re Saying About Coach Burkhamer. . . 

“I have known Jeff Burkhamer for a long time. He gets the very 

best out of his players. He has an outstanding work ethic, is a 

great communicator and is a terrific teacher of the game. Jeff 

Burkhamer will have Lander competing for PBC titles.” 

--Tubby Smith, University of Minnesota Head Basketball Coach 

“Coach Burkhamer was instrumental in my development as a 

player. His attention to detail in my individual workouts helped 

raise my skill level to new heights each year. Coach B. pushed 

me every day to become a better player, a better student and a 

better person. He helped prepare me for life in the NBA.” 

--Pro Player Tamar Slay, Former Player 

“Coach Burkhamer will create a winner at Lander. He will recruit 

good players and good people and will instill a winning attitude 

into his program. He will inspire and demand that players give 

100 percent on and off the court. Coach B. will prepare his players 

for the “Game of Life.” He made me a better player and a 

better person and I am proud to have played for him.” 

--William Kane, Former Player 

“I played for Coach B. and worked as an assistant coach for him 

for many years. He is going to get the best out of his players – on 

and off the court. He creates a standard of excellence and challenges 

each player to set high goals on the court and in life. He 

is an excellent teacher of the game and is a very good person. 

Lander is fortunate to have him leading their program back to the 

top of the PBC.” 

Steve Franklin, Former Assistant Coach/Player 

“Coach Burkhamer is an excellent communicator and basketball 

strategist. He coached me during the most productive phase of 

my career. Coach Burkhamer is not only a former coach, but 

someone who I’m proud to call a FRIEND.”

Steve Roberts, Assistant Coach 

Steve Roberts, Assistant Coach 

Steve Roberts, who is no stranger 

to the Lander basketball program, 

returns for his 11th year as an 

assistant coach. 

A four-year letterman (1980-84), 

he graduated from Lander in 1984 

with a bachelor’s degree in health 

and physical education. While playing 

for Lander University, the then- 

Senators averaged 19 wins a season. 

Roberts is currently third in most 

games played in a career at Lander 

Steve Roberts 

with 125 games. 

Roberts, who was recently named the Lakelands FCA Coach 

of the Year, is beginning his 26th year of coaching at the collegiate 

level. He started his career as a fellow graduate assistant 

with Jeff Burkhamer at Winthrop University under Neild Gordon. 

Roberts coached at North Greenville College for one season 

before joining the staff at then-USC Spartanburg. In 1990-91, the 

Rifles advanced to the NAIA National Tournament and finished 

fifth in the country with a record of 29-3. The following season, 

1991-92, Roberts helped lead the Rifles to the inaugural Peach 

Belt Championship, a berth to the NCAA Tournament and a No. 

7 final national ranking. After four seasons at USCS, Roberts 

worked as an LU assistant for his former coach, Finis Horne. 

Since 1994, Roberts has had the opportunity to be an assistant 

coach at Mars Hill College, Coastal Carolina University and 

Campbell University before returning to Mars Hill in 1999 as the 

head coach. After three seasons at Mars Hill, Roberts returned to 

Lander as an assistant for Coach Chipper Bagwell. Roberts has 

the distinction of being the only person to work for all four head 

coaches in the history of the men’s basketball program at Lander.

(left) and Matthew. 

“I am thankful to be a part of Lander athletics and it’s basketball 

program,” said Roberts. “Being associated with Lander for 

30-plus years, I see it as an opportunity for me and my family to 

be at a place that has good people, a good basketball tradition and 

excellent community support.” 

Roberts credits Coach Horne and his former high school coach, 

Harvey Tankersley, as his biggest influences in his career. 

“Both of these coaches passed on to me a great deal of knowledge 

of the game, but also stressed the importance of an education,” 

said Roberts. 

The Greenville native is married to the former Dana Lam of 

Waynesboro, Va., and they have two children, Matthew, 16, and 

Luke, 14.

Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year Candidate

Dwight 

Tolbert 

Senior • Wing 

6-5 • 210 • Tifton, Ga. 

Dwight enters his first year at Lander after transferring from Armstrong Atlantic 

State University. While not playing for the past two seasons, he led the 

Pirates to a 23-7 record and an NCAA Tournament berth in 2008-09. That year 

he averaged 15.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game while shooting 43 percent 

from the field (including 42 percent from the three-point line) and 73 

percent from the free throw line. 

A first-team All-Peach Belt selection, Tolbert scored in double figures in 

22 games and was a PBC Player of the Week. 

Burkhamer on Tolbert: “Dwight Tolbert is a difference-maker in the 

Peach Belt Conference and will be one of the best players in the league. 

He has not played in two years, but will bring a tremendous hunger to 

the gym and will work to get better everyday. He will make others around 

him work harder and will push them to get better. He is a leader and a warrior. 

Dwight can do it all on the offensive end of the floor. He runs the floor, 

scores in the post, shoots the three, and can put the ball on the floor and get 

to the rim. He gives us great flexibility since he can play on the perimeter 

against post players or post up smaller wings.” 

Personal: Dwight Tolbert... born on June 21, 1986... son of Patricia Mork... 

in my spare time I enjoy “making beats”... my basketball fantasy is to play

Dennis enters his first year at Lander after playing one season at Allen County Junior College, one at Gannon University 

and one at Palm Beach Community College. At Allen County, Rumph was named to the All-Jayhawk Conference 

team after averaging 9.0 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.5 blocked shots per game. He scored a career-high 27 points against 

Coffeyville Community College and had a career-high 16 rebounds versus Independence Community College. 

Burkhamer on Rumph: “Dennis is a power post player who will give us a presence in the paint. He scores around the 

basket, but can also step out and make a mid-range jumper. The best things Dennis does are rebound and block shots. He 

has a good sense for the ball and where missed shots may come off the rim. He also has excellent timing when it comes to 

blocking and changing shots around the basket.” 

Personal: Dennis Rumph... born on Nov. 23, 1989... son of Dennis and Tecia Rumph... favorite midnight snack is zebra 

cakes... favorite childhood toy was Tonka trucks... majoring in criminal justice...

Peach Belt Conference 

Now entering its 22nd year of existence in 2011-12, the Peach 

Belt Conference has become one of the elite Division II conferences 

in the nation. Since its inception in 1990-91, the Peach 

Belt has developed a consistent history of excellence which 

continues to this day with 30 national championships and 25 

national finalists. 

Starting with only two championships in 

1991, in men’s and women’s basketball, the 

conference has expanded to 13 championship 

sports with the addition of women’s golf in the 

fall of 2009. 

The conference traces its roots back to November 

of 1988 when 11 schools first met in 

David Brunk 

Greenville, S.C., to form a Division II conference. 

Following a second meeting on Dec. 3, 

1989, five of those 11 schools, plus two others, formed the Peach 

Belt and began play in fall 1990. 

The Peach Belt was less than a year old before capturing a 

national championship. The Columbus State golf team took the 

honor by winning the 1992 national crown, the first of three golf 

championships the Cougars own. One year later, the Lander 

men's tennis team began their record-breaking run of eight 

straight national titles, the first PBC dynasty. Since then, USCA 

men's golf has won three straight national titles from 2004-06 

while AASU women's tennis has captured five titles overall. 

The 2008-09 season was among the PBC’s most memorable. 

The Armstrong Atlantic men’s and women’s tennis teams both 

won their respective national 

championships – for the 

second year in a row; a feat 

only done once before in 

college tennis. In addition, 

the Augusta State men’s 

basketball team became the 

first conference program to 

make back-to-back trips to 

the NCAA Elite Eight, Armstrong 

Atlantic became the 

first PBC volleyball team 

ever to advance to the Elite 

Eight and the North Georgia 

softball team was ranked 

No. 1 in the nation and 

reached the World Series. 

The seven charter members 

of the conference were 

Armstrong Atlantic State 

University, Columbus State 

University, Francis Marion 

University, Georgia College 

& State University, Lander 

University, USC Aiken and 

USC Upstate. The name 

Peach Belt Athletic Conference 

was adopted in January 

of 1990 and modified to

followed by Kennesaw State University on July 1, 1994, Clayton 

State University on July 1, 1995 and the University of North 

Florida on July 1, 1997. Kennesaw State and North Florida 

departed for the Division I ranks in 2005, USC Upstate did the 

same in 2007, and the conference welcomed in North Georgia 

College & State University in 2005 and Georgia Southwestern 

State University in 2006. 

In 2009-10, the Peach Belt grew once again with the addition 

of the University of Montevallo and Flagler College, giving the 

PBC 13 members, the most the league has ever had. The addition 

of the two schools returedns 

the PBC to the state of 

Florida and expanded the 

league into Alabama for the 

first time. 

David Brunk was named 

the second PBC commissioner 

in May of 2007. 

Brunk replaced Marvin 

Vanover, who was the first 

PBC commissioner from 

1991 to 2007. 

Dr. Linda Bleicken, 

president of Armstrong 

Atlantic State University, is 

the currently the Peach Belt 

Conference president. 

The conference currently 

holds championships in 13 

sports, six for men and seven 

for women. They are men’s 

and women’s cross country, 

men’s and women’s soccer, 

volleyball, men’s and 

women’s basketball, men’s 

and women’s tennis, baseball, 

softball and men’s and 

women’s golf.

About Lander 

HISTORY 

Lander University was founded by Methodist clergyman 

Samuel Lander in 1872 as Williamston Female College in Williamston, 

S.C. It remained a private institution for 26 years. In 

1898, the College gained support of the South Carolina Conference 

of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1904, the 

College was relocated to Greenwood, S.C., and was renamed 

Lander College in honor of its founder. 

In 1948, when the Methodist Conference, pursuant to a policy 

of consolidation in its education efforts, decided to end support 

of Lander College, interested citizens of Greenwood formed The 

Lander Foundation as a nonprofit corporation and leased the 

College from the Church. 

In 1951, the county of Greenwood obtained the College name 

and property from the Methodist Conference. The South Carolina 

General Assembly created the Greenwood County Education 

Commission, known as The Lander Foundation, to serve as the 

board of control for the College. Lander thus became the only 

four-year liberal arts college in the United States to be controlled 

and financed by a county government. 

On July 1, 1973, Lander College came under the control of the 

Board of Trustees of the State Colleges of South Carolina making 

Lander a state-supported college. The State College Board of 

Trustees governed Lander, the College of Charleston and Francis 

Marion College. Effective July 1, 1988, governance of Lander 

was vested in the Lander College Board of Trustees. 

On July 1, 1992, by action of the Board of Trustees, the institution 

became Lander University. 

Lander was founded as a college for women. Men were admitted 

in 1943, and the institution is now completely coeducational. 

Lander University subscribes to a policy of equal educational 

and employment opportunity for all. 

swimming areas, campsites, a variety of restaurants and the 

Greenwood State Park. For sports enthusiasts, there are many 

beautifully manicured golf courses in the area as well as Lander’s 

Joe Chandler Physical Education and Exercise Studies Center, 

the YMCA and the Greenwood Civic Center. 

The Greenwood Museum has a variety of exhibits and has 

twice been recognized as the S.C. Tourist Attraction of the Year 

in its category. Lander’s Monsanto Gallery receives over 500 visitors 

monthly to view exhibits of Southeastern artists. The Greenwood 

Community Theatre offers plays and musicals throughout 

the year, including children’s theatre. And the Greenwood-Lander 

Performing Arts sponsors an annual series of concerts and events 

that brings international music, dance and theatre to Lander’s 

Josephine B. Abney Cultural Center stage. 

STUDENT ACTIVITIES 

Lander University has over 60 organizations and clubs, each 

offering students different opportunities. The choices, challenges 

and opportunities students face by participating in these organizations 

will assist them in classes and will allow them to meet new 

friends and socialize with old friends. There are many different 

areas to choose from, such as academic organizations, clubs 

and interest groups, media organizations, club sports, honorary 

societies, religious organizations, and Greek fraternities and 

sororities.

Academic Support and Lifetime Lessons 

SUPPORT SERVICES 

Lander offers a number of progams to ensure that all students 

reach their highest potential inside and outside of the classroom. 

These services are free to the students and we encourage every 

student to take advantage of them. They often make the difference 

when a student is encountering difficulties in college. 

Peer Tutoring Center 

Lander offers free tutorial services to all enrolled students. The 

Academic Support Center includes the Math Lab, Writing Center, 

Computer Science Tutoring Lab and the Peer Tutoring Lab 

(which tutors all subjects not covered in the other labs.) 

Academic Success Center 

The Academic Success Center (ASC) houses the tutoring labs 

for the university and coordinates several programs aimed at improving 

student success: the Student Academic Success Program 

(SASP), the SPRINT summer program, the Academic Success 

Center Advisement Program (ASCAP), Freshman Mentoring 

Program and the Early Alert program. 

Career Services 

The Office of Career Services provides education, counseling, 

information and assistance to Lander students in areas that are 

related to career choices and employment opportunities. These 

services include individual career counseling, career fairs, interest 

preference testing, career Internet lab and library, graduate 

school resources, on-campus interviews, career presentations 

(resume' writing, interviewing skills, etc.) and a part-time/fulltime 

job posting service. 

Counseling Services 

Offices within the Department of Counseling Services exist 

in order to help prevent problems, or to assist students in 

dealing with problems once they occur. Personal counseling is 

available at no charge on an individual, confidential basis to any 

student experiencing difficulties such as low morale, relationship 

problems, time management pressures, alcohol or drug abuse or 

poor academic performance. Personal counseling is accessible by 

appointment or on a walk-in basis for students. 

THE ’CATS PROGRAM 

The ’CATS Program (Care About The Student-Athlete) at 

Lander University is a program designed to further educate 

our basketball players on the “Game of Life.” It is designed to 

help our players gain a better understanding of the vital areas of 

development in the maturation of the individual. The program 

guides a person through the necessary planning for life after 

college in topic areas that might not be covered in a lecture hall. 

This program is set up to further enhance our players’ knowledge 

concerning areas that will be dealt with during and after 

college. We feel it prepares our athletes for “Total Success,” 

whether it be on the basketball court, in the classroom or in the 

business world. The ’CATS Program is an attempt to develop all 

facets of a young person’s potential. 

Guest speakers talk with our players about a variety of topics, 

including: 

• Study Guidelines 

• Drug and Alcohol Awareness 

• Time Management 

• Goal Setting 

• Public Speaking 

• Financial Planning 

• Interview Skills 

• Stress Management 

• Etiquette 

• How to Dress for Success 

• Choosing A Career 

• Nutrition - How to Eat Right 

• Leadership 

• Applying for Financial Aid 

. . . and other topics as needed

The Finis Horne Years 1968-97 

Finis Horne, who launched Lander University’s 

men’s basketball program in 1968, retired on 

June 30, 1997, after 29 years and 491 victories. 

Horne, who was inducted into the Lander Athletics 

Hall of Fame on Oct. 9, 1999 and the S.C. Athletics 

Hall of Fame in June 2011, 

established himself as the 

winningest active coach in 

South Carolina and recorded 

a 15-12 record during 

his final year. 

Following a 21-9 record 

in the 1993-94 season, 

Horne was named PBAC 

Coach of the Year when 

the then-Senators won the 

PBAC Tournament and 

earned an automatic berth into the NCAA Division II 

National Tournament. 

In 1994-95 the Senators did it again. Lander finished 

the season 21-9, won the PBAC tournament and advanced 

to the national tournament. 

While a member of the NAIA, Lander won District 6 

regular season titles in 1977-78, 1978-79 and 1979-80, 

and reached the District 6 tournament championship 

game in 1976-77, 1979-80, 1980-81, 1987-88 and 

1988-89. 

Horne was voted the NAIA District 6 Coach of the 

Year in 1972-73, 1978-79, 1979-80, 1987-88 and 

1989-90; and the NAIA District 6 Administrator of the 

Year in 1986. He served as vice chairman of District 6 

from 1974-80 and chair from 1981-86. 

Horne was voted the NAIA Palmetto State Conference 

Coach of the Year in 1989-90; the NAIA Area 7 

Coach of the Year in 1980; and the PBAC Coach of 

the Year in 1993-94. 

Coach Horne is married to Dr. Bettie Horne and 

they have twin daughters. Nina Horne Peterson lives 

in Oakland, Calif., with her husband, David, and 

daughter, Emma. Sabra lives in Washington, D.C. 

Horne is a veteran of the US Navy, and a member of 

VFW, Kiwanis Club and the Greenwood First Baptist 

Church. 

Born April 26, 1936, in Kentucky, Horne earned an 

associate of arts degree from Bethel (Ky.) College in 

1963, a bachelor’s degree in physical education from

Horne Arena - Home of the Bearcats 

The Lander men’s basketball team has the benefit of playing in one of the nicest basketball facilities in the 

country. Horne Arena, named after the program founder Finis Horne, is home to Bearcats basketball and volleyball, 

graduations, and many campus and community events. The 2,500 chairback seats provide a comfortable 

environment to enjoy events. Horne Arena, which opened in 1992, includes coaches’ offices, meeting rooms, 

training room facilities and locker room facilities. A new scoreboard in the middle of the arena was added in 

2011. 

The Bearcats basketball locker room is “big time.” Bearcat players enjoy pro-style lockers that include head 

shots and action pictures, nameplates and individual goal sheets. Motivational signs and action photos line the 

walls, and a new video projector and screen have been added for video breakdowns. Players slap the “Bearcat 

Paw” each time they leave the locker room, signifying their commitment to playing hard and playing together.
