Conference Changes
On May 20, 1961, with the addition of Newberry College, the conference changed its name to the Carolinas Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAC), but was known less formally as the Carolinas Conference. The conference had dual NAIA and NCAA Division II membership during the 1993–94 academic year. In 1995 the Carolinas Conference dropped its NAIA affiliation to participate as a full member in Division II. Longwood University was also admitted and the conference name was changed to the Carolinas-Virginia Athletics Conference (CVAC). The conference adopted its current name of Conference Carolinas in 2007.

Famous quotes containing the word conference:
“Politics is still the man’s game. The women are allowed to do the chores, the dirty work, and now and then—but only occasionally—one is present at some secret conference or other. But it’s not the rule. They can go out and get the vote, if they can and will; they can collect money, they can be grateful for being permitted to work. But that is all.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
