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 Kevin Pederson and DeCole Shoemate 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."

Pederson enters seventh year as Lander head coach 

Kevin Pederson recently finished his sixth season as Lander's 

head coach after leading the Lady Bearcats to a schoolrecord 

29 wins, four weeks atop the USA Today/ESPN Division 

II Coaches Top 25, a second straight 

Sweet 16 appearance and a final No. 

6 ranking. 

This also marked the first time in 

the program’s history that the team 

has achieved four straight 20-win 

seasons and four straight NCAA 

tournament appearances. 

In nine-plus seasons, Pederson has 

amassed a 207-97 career coaching 

record for a .678 winning percentage. 

Kevin Pederson 

Head Coach 

He was 88-31 in three-and-a-half 

seasons at Anderson College and is 

119-67 overall at Lander. 

In the past two seasons, the Lady Bearcats have posted a 56-8 

overall record and 33-3 mark in the Peach Belt Conference. 

In 2009-10, Pederson, who led the Lady Bearcats to a 

27-4 record and the Peach Belt Conference regular-season 

championship, was voted the Peach Belt and WBCA Region 3 

Coach of the Year and the 2010 Bulletin's National Coach of the 

Month for February. 

The Lady Bearcats finished 5-22 in Pederson's first year at 

Lander, his only losing season as a head coach. Lander followed 

with records of 15-13, 23-12, 20-11 and 27-4 before last season's 

second consecutive Sweet Sixteen appearance. 

In 2008-09, Pederson led the Lady Bearcats to their second 

straight Peach Belt Conference tournament championship from 

the fifth seed position. Four years ago, Lander was the Peach Belt 

regular season co-champion and the PBC tournament winner. 

The Lady Bearcats earned an automatic berth in the NCAA 

National Tournament and won an NCAA game for the first time 

in program history. 

Pederson has won five conference championships in nine years 

and has now taken two programs into the NCAA Tournament. He 

led Anderson to its first-ever winning season and first two NCAA 

berths, reaching the second round and the Sweet 16. His teams 

have improved each year at both Anderson and Lander, with 15, 

17, 25 and 33 wins at Anderson. 

Pederson has recruited a WBCA National Player of the Year 

in Shannon McKever (2010-11) and coached four conference 

players of the year, three freshmen of the year, and two career 

2,000-point scorers in LaShonda Chiles and Diedra Langston 

(Anderson). Chiles played for Pederson at both Anderson and 

Lander, and became the NCAA Division II all-time women's 

leading scorer last season when she finished with 2,885 career 

points. 

Pederson led Anderson to a 33-3 record and a berth in the 

NCAA Division II Sweet 16 in the 2004-2005 season and was 

voted the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference (CVAC) Coach 

of the Year in 2005. The Lady Trojans, who were ranked No. 1 

in the East Region at the end of the 2005 regular season, fell to

Coach Kevin Pederson’s Prospectus 

Lady Bearcats looking to reload for 2011-12 season 

Over the past two seasons, the Lander women’s basketball 

team has posted a 56-8 record, a No. 1 national ranking, a 

14-game winning streak and two consecutive NCAA Sweet 16 

appearances. But the Lady Bearcats fell short of the Elite Eight 

both years, and that was particularly disappointing in March 

2011. 

The NCAA Tournament’s Elite 

Eight was a preseason goal for the 

team the past two seasons, with the 

quarterfinals being as prestigious to 

Division II as the “Final Four” is to 

Division I. 

The confidence returns in 2011-12. 

But, this time, the Elite Eight is not 

among the team’s immediate goals. 

“We fell short of some of our other 

goals,” Lander coach Kevin Pederson 

said of last season, despite the team’s 

remarkable 29-4 record, a No. 1 

national ranking for four consecutive 

weeks from January into February, 

and a final No. 6 ranking. Two of the 

four losses were to eventual national 

champion Clayton State. 

“We tied for the Peach Belt 

Conference regular season title 

on this side (PBC East Division) 

with Aiken,” he said. “Clayton 

won the outright regular season 

title. We didn’t win the conference 

tournament. We did make the Sweet 

16, which was great. But we are kind 

of ‘stepping back’ to move forward. 

We are focusing on getting better one 

day at a time instead of focusing on 

March.” 

Lander opens its season Nov. 19-20 in the Lady Bearcats 

Tip-Off Classic, meeting NCAA Tournament team Barton 

College on the 19th and Ferris State the next day at Finis Horne 

Arena. Lander also faced national Division I power Duke at the 

beginning of November. 

The Lady Bearcats lose Division II Women’s National Player 

of the Year Shannon McKever, another senior post player in 

Tasheba Butler and important reserve Katie Hupp. Also not 

returning are guards Nardia Robbins and Brianna Webb, and 

forward Chentieh Ladson. 

But plenty of talent returns and promising players have been 

added to the program. The successful freshman class of 2008- 

09 is now a senior class with guards Brittni Johnson (Athens, 

Ga.), Ciara Lyons (Augusta, Ga.), Jasmine Judge (Augusta, Ga.) 

and Mukia Myrick (Columbus, Ga.), and post players Keondra 

Barnes (Columbus, Ga.) and Kaylyn Small (Augusta, Ga.) 

returning for their fourth years. 

Two more seniors that return are guard Kami Phillips (Augusta,

Ga.), who was red-shirted last season due to injury, and forward 

Rachelle Rasley (Richmond, Va.), giving the team eight seniors. 

The 2011-2012 recruiting class includes two key transfers 

in two-time All Peach Belt junior guard/forward Janyce Ealey 

(Carrollton, Ga.) from North Georgia College & State University, 

and junior post Precious Elkins (Conyers, Ga.) from Lenoir- 

Rhyne College. 

The roster will have two freshmen 

who could contribute right away in 

guards Ashley Watts (Augusta, Ga.) 

and Jasmine Franklin (Greenville, 

S.C.). A third freshman, 6-foot-1 

center Bria Lonon (Statesboro, Ga.), 

will redshirt. 

The fourth-year seniors are 76-19 

since joining the Lander program in 

2008. 

“This is really the culminating 

year of a process that began four 

years ago,” Pederson said of 

Johnson, Lyons, Judge, Myrick, 

Barnes and Small, who scored a 

combined 45 points per game last 

season. 

“We had just come off a good 

season (in 2007-08). We won the 

conference. We had our first NCAA 

Tournament win in school history. 

And then (losing stars Tiara Good, 

LaShonda Chiles and Stephanie 

Ponds) we were back to square 

one, playing all freshmen and 

sophomores. And we had so much to 

teach them. 

“They did well their freshman 

year (20 wins, 11 losses). They 

were the number one seed in the NCAA Tournament (Southeast 

Regional) their sophomore year (27-4). Their junior year (29-4), 

they were the number one team in the country for four weeks. It’s 

amazing what they have accomplished. They have pretty much 

done everything except for getting to the Elite Eight.” 

Pederson said the seniors are more determined than ever. 

“I think the sense of urgency is here and there are some things 

that they still want to accomplish,” he said. “They have team 

goals. They have individual goals. Several of them would like the 

opportunity to play professionally after they are done (at Lander). 

“They know this is their last chance to prove what they need 

to prove. They are much more motivated and focused than at any 

point since they have been here.” 

At least two of those seniors will start with Johnson at point 

guard and Judge at shooting guard. Myrick and Lyons are starting 

candidates at wing with both expected to play major minutes,

whether starting or not. 

Ealey is a likely starter either at a wing or post, Elkins is a 

potential starter in the post, as well as Small, Barnes and Rasley. 

Ealey, Elkins, Small, Barnes and Rasley are looking to fill the 

void left by McKever (17.2 points, 9.8 rebounds last season) and 

Butler (9.2 points, 7.6 rebounds). 

“We don’t have that dominant player (like McKever) this 

year,” Pederson said. “But we have a lot of very good players. 

We probably won’t have anybody who averages 17, 18 points per 

game. I think we’ll see a lot in the 10 to 12-point range. I think 

we easily have six players who are good enough to average in 

double figures.” 

The returning guards are the most certain part of Lander’s 

2011-12 team. 

“This is the best group of guards that I have had in my 

coaching career,” said Pederson, who enters his seventh season at 

Lander after three-and-a-half years at Anderson. “We lose Nardia 

Robbins and Brianna Webb. But we replace them with a healthy 

Kami Phillips and then Ashley Watts and Jasmine Franklin. And 

the other kids back from last year are a little bit better.” 

Pederson is hoping for a breakout year from Johnson, who 

scored 8.8 points per game last season while adding 106 assists 

and 62 steals. 

“She has the ability to lead this team,” Pederson said. “She has 

the talent. Is this the year that everything comes together and she 

becomes one of the best point guards in the country? She has the 

ability. But she hasn’t done it yet.” 

Phillips will also likely see time at point guard. She missed all 

of 2010-11 due to a serious knee injury suffered in a February 

2010 game. 

“In person, it was one of the most brutal injuries that I have 

ever seen,” Pederson said. “It has taken her a year-and-a-half to 

come back from that injury. We didn’t know for a while if she 

was going to be able to come back. It speaks to what kind of 

person she is, how tough she is. 

Pederson added that Phillips is “one of the mothers on the 

team. She is a very mature player. She encourages everybody. 

She is a great leader and a tremendous defensive player. She is 

going to add a lot of depth to that position. She is good enough to 

start.” 

Judge was one of the nation’s top 3-point shooters last year, 

making 114 from behind the arc with an impressive 40 percent 

shooting percentage. She has hit 288 3-pointers in her college 

career. 

“She is the best shooter that I have ever coached,” Pederson 

said of Judge, who scored 11.6 points per game last season. “We 

expect big things out of her. With Shannon McKever gone, I 

think she becomes the focal point of our team (from opposing 

defenses).” 

Watts, who scored 2,101 points in her high school career, could 

see some playing time as a guard. 

“Ashley Watts can really shoot the ball,” Pederson said. “She 

hit about 80 threes in her senior year in high school. She can do 

a few more things than Jasmine can outside of just shooting the 

ball. She is not as pure a shooter as Jasmine, but a little more 

skilled in other areas. She has the ability to help us this year.” 

Lyons and Myrick return at wing and are crucial to Lander’s 

success. Lyons averaged 10.8 points per game last year while 

Myrick averaged 8.7. 

The two-time All Peach Belt player and 2008-09 PBC 

Freshman of the Year, Lyons also won her school’s prestigious 

Dr. Samuel C. Hodges Award as the Female Athlete of the Year in 

2010-11. 

“Ciara Lyons is one of the best slashers in the league,” 

Pederson said. “Ciara is the hardest working player on the team. 

She is going to give you everything she’s got. If you’ve got to 

pick one leader on this team, it’s probably her.” 

Pederson called Myrick, “one of the best defensive guards in 

our league. She has a tremendous amount of ability. If she can 

stay healthy and play to the fullest ability, people have yet to see 

how good she is. She should be averaging in double figures. She 

just hasn’t put everything together yet. She is a player who has 

got to step up.” 

Franklin also hopes to contribute at a guard/wing position. 

“Jasmine is athletic, a great slasher, can run all day long, and 

very skilled,” he said. “She is going to have to work hard to break 

into the lineup now. But I want to see something out of her and 

Ashley Watts because a year from now, those are the two guards 

that we will have left. We need to get those kids into games so 

they can get some experience.” 

Ealey and Elkins come to Lander with high expectations. 

The 5-foot-10 Ealey averaged 15.8 points and 8.0 rebounds per 

game as a sophomore at North Georgia and was also the 2010 

PBC Freshman of the Year when she averaged 14 points and 

seven rebounds per game. 

The 5-foot-11 Elkins averaged nine points and seven rebounds 

in 19 minutes of action per game at Lenoir-Rhyne, including a 

double-double against Lander this past season with 11 points and 

10 rebounds. 

“We were very fortunate. We lose Shannon McKever and 

Tasheba Butler in the post, and we bring in Precious Elkins and 

Janyce Ealey. They have to learn our system and adjust to me. 

But they are both so talented,” Pederson said of the transfers. 

“Ealey is very skilled. She can shoot the 3, shoot midrange, and 

drive the ball, post up, just about anything on the floor. She is one 

of the most talented kids that I have ever coached,” he said. 

“Elkins is a tremendous full-court player. She beats people 

down the court consistently. She rebounds the ball well, gets to 

the free throw line, and really fits how we want to play,” Pederson 

added. 

Pederson calls Small the only true center on Lander’s roster. 

Averaging 3.7 rebounds in 9.6 minutes per game last season, 

Small often entered the game to give McKever some rest. This 

year, the 5-10 veteran will be expected to play more minutes and 

possibly start. 

“Nobody in the conference got more rebounds per minute than 

her,” Pederson said. “She is definitely going to play. It’s just a 

question of how many minutes.” 

The 5-10 Barnes has also been reliable coming off the bench in 

the post and will be counted on again this season. 

“Keondra Barnes is a crafty veteran. She knows the system, 

plays hard, great attitude, great student, and does everything you

Continued from previous page 

can ask a player to do. She is very solid. I know that I can put her 

in the game and get something out of her.” 

Meanwhile, Rasley can play post or guard. The 5-11 

North Florida transfer played particularly well in the NCAA 

Tournament in March. 

“She’s got the size to defend a four or a five,” Pederson said. 

“But she is also one of the best shooters on the team. With her, 

we are really trying to find mismatches. She is much more 

talented than what a lot of people got to see last year.” 

One of the biggest losses on the team is on the sidelines. 

Russ Gregg, who was with Pederson his entire coaching 

career, has left for a head coaching position at nearby 

Erskine College. Also, manager and graduate 

assistant coach Alex Smith has moved on after 

four years. 

“Russ has been ready for a head 

coaching opportunity for a few 

years,” Pederson said. “When 

Erskine called, it made perfect 

sense. He doesn’t have to move. 

His wife keeps her job. It’s a league 

(Conference Carolinas) that he is 

familiar with. We spent several years 

together in that league at Anderson. He 

knows what it takes to be successful in 

that league. He’s got a good team in place 

(at Erskine). I miss him. But he definitely 

did the right thing. He’ll do a great job at 

Erskine.” 

Pederson has replaced Gregg with DeCole 

Shoemate, a former volunteer assistant coach at 

Lander. 

Shoemate played at Florida International, 

transferred to Anderson, and later became a head 

coach at Brewton-Parker College. 

“She is the first player that I ever signed to a 

scholarship when I was at Anderson,” Pederson 

said. “For us to get a head coach to take our 

assistant coach’s position speaks volumes about her 

commitment to what we are trying to accomplish. 

She is a great role model for the girls. She has been 

a player. She has been a coach. She has seen both 

sides.” 

The watershed moment of Lander’s 2010-11 

season came on Feb. 10, 2011, when the then topranked 

and unbeaten Lady Bearcats suffered a heartbreaking 

83-81 final shot loss at No. 2 Clayton State. 

“Clayton State had to go through us to get where they wanted 

to go,” Pederson said. “All the way up until February, they were 

chasing us. We were number one in the country and they were 

number two in the country. We were 23-0, they were 22-0. They 

hit a last-second shot to beat us. That one possession where they 

make that tip-in basket to beat us by one changed the whole 

season. That got them the number one seed in the region which 

meant we had to go back down there to play them to get into the 

Elite Eight.” 

Clayton State would beat Lander again in the Sweet 16, 

76-60, and rolled to the national championship, never being 

challenged in the quarterfinals, semifinals or national title 

game. 

“I would take up the argument that we were the second best 

team in the country,” Pederson said. “Clayton State plays a 

Shaw team in the Final Four that we beat by 16 points (81-65) 

up in Washington, D.C., in a tournament. 

“Clayton State had a great team and I do believe at the 

end of the year, they were better than us. But I do think 

we were the second best team in the country. I really 

think (with different brackets) that we could have met 

them for the national championship.” 

Pederson said Clayton State is the obvious 

favorite in the Peach Belt and maybe nationally 

once again. 

“Everything goes through Clayton State. 

And we have to go back to their place again 

this year (January 25). They lost their 

best player (Teshymia Tillman) but they 

have everyone else back. Plus, they have 

a point guard who tore her ACL and 

missed all of last year who will be back.” 

Pederson added, “Columbus State has 

everybody back. USC Aiken lost a couple of 

good players, but they have a lot of kids back 

from a year where they were as high as number 

six in the country. 

“Those three teams (Clayton, Columbus, 

Aiken) concern me the most. Plus, everybody 

else is going to be strong. Armstrong is going to 

be better this year. Francis Marion and Georgia 

College have new players. North Georgia got their 

second Division I transfer in a year. Montevallo has 

a new coach, Flagler had a good recruiting class, and 

Georgia Southwestern has been very athletic that 

last couple of years.” 

Pederson is looking forward to the opener versus 

Barton College. 

“I am a big believer in playing strong teams 

early in the year because if you are going to lose, I 

would rather lose early and find out what we need 

to do to get better,” said Pederson, whose next 

victory will tie him with Katrina Sacoco (1984- 

91, 97) for most wins (120) as a Lander women’s 

basketball coach. 

“That’s one game that I have pinpointed on 

the schedule. Barton is going to be a preseason top 20 team, 

they went to the second round of the NCAA Tournament last 

year, they return everybody, plus they got a transfer from East 

Carolina. They have a tremendously athletic team.” 

Lander also faces Wingate and West Georgia at the Clayton 

State Tournament after Christmas, visits traditional powers 

Tusculum and Carson-Newman, takes on Lincoln Memorial on 

the road, and faces Southern Wesleyan at home before settling 

into the Peach Belt schedule.

Assistant Coach 

DeCole Shoemate, a native of San 

Diego, Calif., begins her first 

year as assistant coach for the Lady 

Bearcats. A former Lander volunteer 

coach, who has been the head 

coach at Brewton-Parker in Mount 

Vernon, Ga., for the past two seasons, 

Shoemate returns with a wealth of 

experience and expectations to help 

keep the women's basketball program 

heading in the right direction. 

At Brewton-Parker College (BPC), 

Coach Shoemate served as associate 

head coach for one year before taking 

over head coaching responsibilities. 

As head coach, Shoemate signed several all-state players and 

transfers, including one Kodak All-American. She led the team 

to the SSAC Conference Tournament, with several players being 

named All-Conference and All-Academic. 

Shoemate enhanced BPC’s women’s basketball program by 

building character and developing young people in a multifaceted 

manner. She built a strong foundation by turning the 

program into one that was competitive and well respected. 

Serving as an active member and spokesperson for the 

Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Coach Shoemate has had a 

great and positive influence on the students, college community, 

and region. 

Traveling throughout the summer she shares her faith and 

serves at prominent FCA camps, such as Black Mountain, N.C.’s 

Multi-Sport Camp, and St. Simon, Ga.’s Leadership Camp, where 

she strives to help promote the vision to see the world impacted 

for Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches. 

As a prep at Battery Creek (S.C.) High School, Coach 

Shoemate led her high school team to the South Carolina 3-A 

State Championship. She was two-time Female Athlete of the 

year, Player of the Year, and four-time All-Area and All-Regional 

Player. Shoemate was also named to the All-State team and 

played in the North/South All Star Game. 

She signed and played Division I basketball at Florida 

International where she won a Sunbelt Conference Championship 

and made an NCAA Sweet 16 Appearance. 

She transferred to Anderson (S.C.) University as then-head 

coach Kevin Pederson’s first signee. While under the guidance of 

Coach Pederson, Shoemate was an instrumental part of the team 

that lead the nation in scoring at 85 points per game, and reached 

100 points or more on four occasions. 

During her stint at Anderson she received All-Conference 

honors and a Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference 

Championship. She graduated in 2005 with a bachelor's in 

business management.

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. 

Mission Statement 

Grounded in the belief that education is a liberating force 

which makes it possible for an individual to live a life of 

meaningful activity, of personal satisfaction, and of service to 

others as a neighbor and a citizen, Lander University has chosen 

teaching and learning as its principal concerns and providing 

a challenging education for qualified students as its mission. 

Through its liberal arts programs and its professional schools for 

business, education and nursing, the university offers an undergraduate 

curriculum that combines a broad liberal education with 

specialized study leading either to immediate application in a 

career or to more advanced study. The undergraduate programs 

provide opportunities for students to achieve competence in a 

major discipline and to explore a broad core curriculum designed 

to assist them in developing the ability (1) to gather and critically 

analyze information from a variety of fields and to use that 

information as a basis for reasoned judgments and for effective 

problem solving, (2) to synthesize diverse ideas and information, 

and (3) to understand and convey ideas clearly. In addition to its 

undergraduate programs, Lander provides a limited number of 

master’s programs 

and post-graduate 

courses that 

respond to critical 

needs of the 

immediate region 

and the state. 

Supporting the 

university’s role as 

a 

teaching institution 

and recognizing 

that scholarship 

is essential 

to establishing 

and maintaining 

excellence of instruction, 

Lander 

faculty engage 

in scholarly and 

creative activities 

appropriate 

to their teaching 

fields. In addition, 

the faculty and staff recognize Lander’s responsibility to the 

public and to the local economy; therefore, the university serves 

as an intellectual and cultural center and cooperates with various 

agencies, schools and businesses. 

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.

Lander’s beautiful 123-acre campus is a combination of 

contemporary and traditional facilities, and the campus is 

continually growing and changing. Lander boasts a 276,000 item 

library, the Josephine B. Abney Cultural Center with a beautiful 

art gallery and 700-seat auditorium, contemporary classrooms 

and a well-equipped Student Center. Lander’s math and science 

building is equipped with the most advanced equipment and 

laboratories. Home of Lander basketball, our physical education/athletics 

complex provides classrooms, a basketball arena, 

racquetball courts, an indoor track and a weight room. 

Lander is a state-assisted coeducational university with an 

enrollment of approximately 3,000. Founded in 1872, Lander 

is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern 

Association of Colleges and Schools to award bachelor’s- and 

master’s-level degrees. 

Greenwood - The Emerald City 

Greenwood is among the top 10 largest cities in South Carolina 

with a population of 23,000 and a county population exceeding 

66,000. It is located near the Piedmont Plateau in western South 

Carolina. Greenwood is three to four hours west of the beautiful 

South Carolina beaches and two to four hours southeast of the 

popular Blue Ridge Mountains. 

Greenwood’s climate generally allows for year-round enjoyment 

of the outdoors! At Lake Greenwood, you’ll find public 

boat landings, bait and tackle shops, fishing piers, picnic and 

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. 

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. 

Academic Success Center 

The Academic Success Center (ASC) provides quality services 

to students and faculty through a variety of retention efforts. 

These efforts include peer tutoring, academic advising for 

high-risk students, advising seminars for faculty, an intervention 

program for students on academic probation (SASP), one-onone 

mentoring, study skills classes (College Seminar 101), high 

school-to-college transition programs for incoming freshmen, and 


advisement/registration assistance to incoming and future transfer 

students. Additionally, the Academic Success Center offers 

placement and CLEP testing and preparation for PRAXIS exams 

(Education major only). Furthermore, the Academic Success Center 

coordinates the accommodations for students with disabilities 

in conjunction with the Wellness Center. 

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/full-time 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. 

LANDER’S CAMPUS LIFE 

Residence Life 

Lander’s residence halls offer an ideal living environment for 

student’s right on campus. Besides the convenience of living 

close, residence life allows students to encounter a full college 

experience. Meeting new friends, living away from home and no 

monthly bills are just a few advantages to residence life. Lander’s 

campus is also safe, friendly and convenient, with parking areas 

outside each residence hall. 

Safety 

Lander University provides a 24-hour certified police force to 

enforce federal, state, and local laws, and university rules and 

regulations. They also administer the university vehicle registration 

and parking policies and offer educational and crime prevention 

programs for students, faculty and staff. 

Officers are available to escort students, faculty and staff as 

a safety precaution to and from areas on campus. Emergency 

speaker telephones are located across campus. These phones 

are wired with emergency buttons that will automatically dial 

University Police. 

Lander also has a formal Emergency Action Plan which establishes 

procedures that will aid officials in determining the best 

use of resources to manage disasters, minimize loss of life and 

injury, and protect resources and facilities.

Chiles honored by South Carolina 

Athletic Hall of Fame 

Lander’s LaShonda Chiles received many honors during 

her record-setting college basketball career. So being 

nominated for another award at the end of her senior year 

didn’t raise her curiosity too much. 

“Coach (Pederson) had called 

me and told me, shortly after the 

season ended, that I was nominated 

for Female Amateur Athlete of the 

Year for the South Carolina Athletic 

Hall of Fame,” Chiles recalls of a 

conversation with Lady Bearcats head 

basketball coach Kevin Pederson. 

Chiles officially received the award 

LaShonda Chiles 

during the South Carolina Athletic 

Hall of Fame’s annual induction and awards ceremony 

at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center in May 

2008. 

The 5-foot-2 guard from Greenwood closed out her 

college career as the NCAA Division II all-time women’s 

career scoring leader with 2,885 points combined at 

Anderson and Lander universities. 

Chiles broke the nearly 20-year-old record of 2,810 

points held by Dina Kangas of Minnesota-Duluth (1988- 

91). 

Chiles was a two-time Division II All-American at 

Anderson University, where she averaged 21.8 points 

per game over her three years there under Pederson. She 

was the Carolinas-Virginia Athletic Conference (CVAC) 

Tournament MVP all three years and was the league’s 

Freshman of the Year in 2003-04.
