2 UNIVERSITYHISTORY

The University of South Carolina Aiken was chartered under authority granted by the General Assembly of South Carolina and the Aiken County Commission for Higher Education in 1961 after entering into an agreement with the University of South Carolina to establish a two-year center in Aiken. A small cadre of faculty and staff were assigned the mission of establishing a college community with acceptable operations and standards. The Aiken Center opened its doors to 139 students in September 1961. Temporarily housed in Banksia, a renovated mansion in the City of Aiken, the Center consisted of three full- time faculty members (one of whom served as Director of the Center) and one secretary. Initially, the school offered only freshman and sophomore courses but throughout the sixties the size and reputation of the Center grew as word of its excellence spread among its constituents. In 1968, the Center underwent an institutional self-study and was accredited by the Southern Association of “The Fountain” in the middle of USC Aiken’s campus serves as a symbol of the Colleges and Schools as a branch of the University of South University and a gathering spot for students, faculty and friends.

Augusta State The idea for the formation of an NCAA Division II conference was University discussed in November, 1988, in Greenville, SC, with 11 schools represented at the meeting. Five of the colleges at that first meeting, along with two other schools, formed the new conference when USC Aiken hosted another meeting on December 3, 1989. The seven charter members were Armstrong State College (Armstrong Atlantic State University), Columbus College (Columbus State University), Francis Marion College (Francis Marion University), Georgia College (Georgia College and State University), Lander College (Lander University of University), USC Aiken, and USC Spartanburg. The name Peach Belt North Florida Clayton College & State University Athletic Conference was adopted in January 1990 and revised to Peach Belt Conference in June 2000. Augusta College (Augusta State University) applied and was accepted in November 1990, with the effective date of membership on July 1, 1991. With the addition of Augusta College, the Peach Belt Conference had four members each in Georgia and South Carolina. Another college joined the Peach Belt Conference on July 1, 1992, when Pembroke State University (UNC Pembroke) officially became a member. Kennesaw State College (Kennesaw State University) became the tenth University of North Carolina Pembroke Columbus State full member of the conference on July 1, 1994 and Clayton State University College (Clayton College and State University) joined the league on July 1, 1995. The conference expanded to 12 members with the addition of the University of North Florida on July 1, 1997. Former Augusta College basketball coach and athletic director Marvin Vanover was named interim commissioner in April 1990, and served in that capacity until his appointment as the conference’s first full-time commissioner in July 1991. The conference has established an office Kennesaw State in Augusta, GA which houses the commissioner and his staff. University Georgia College & The conference conducts championships in 12 sports.
