Alma Mater • Lenoir-Rhyne ‘94, B.A. Sports Management Coaching Experience UNCG • Head Men’s Coach (2001-present)

Lenoir-Rhyne College • Head Men’s and Women’s Coach (1996-2001) • 2001 South Atlantic Conference Women’s Coach of the Year • 1999 South Atlantic Conference Men’s Coach of the Year

Terrance Stewart enters his sixth season as the head men’s golf coach at UNC Greensboro. Stewart was named to his post on August 15, 2001.

In his fi fth season at UNCG, Stewart helped the Spartans to seven top-10 fi nishes including three top-fi ve fi nishes in 2005-06. UNCG placed seventh at the Southern Conference Championships and were led by sophomore Nathan Stamey’s fourth place fi nish, which earned him second team all-conference honors. The Spartans captured a season best fourth place fi nish at the Orange County National led by Stamey and senior Jake Lowder, who both fi nished in the top 20. Stewart also guided his Spartans to a pair of fi fth place fi nishes at the Tunica National Intercollegiate and the Pinehurst Intercollegiate.

In 2004-05, UNCG placed fourth at the SoCon Championships, while junior Jake Lowder and sophomore J.D. Bass were each named to the SoCon all-conference team for their efforts during the course of the season. Led by freshman Nathan Sta-mey’s fi rst place fi nish in the opening match of the season, the Spartans took home second place honors at the Mid Pines Intercollegiate. In a second tourney hosted by UNCG, the Spartans picked up a third place fi nish at the Forest Oaks Intercolle-giate in the fi nal tournament of the regular season. Sandwiched in between, Stewart watched as the Spartans posted top fi ve fi nishes, including a second place fi nish at the 49er Collegiate Classic, in fi ve of their other seven regular season tournaments.

The 2003-04 campaign was a breakthrough season as the Spartans posted a tie for second at the SoCon Championships, which represented the best fi nish in school history. In March of 2004, the Spartans claimed top honors at the Winthrop-Waterford Invitational in Rock Hill, SC. The tournament crown for the Spartans was their fi rst since the 1999-2000 season when UNCG took top honors at the Southern California Intercollegiate. Andy Bare and J.D. Bass each took home medalist honors in two tournaments. Bare fi nished the season with a 73.68 scoring average, third-best in the SoCon and was named fi rst team All-SoCon for the second consecutive season. Nick Baker, who fi nished second on the team with a 73.71 stroke average, was named second team All-SoCon. In his second season, Stewart guided the Spartan squad to a fi fth place fi nish in the 2003 SoCon Championship, at the time, the program’s best in its six year history in the Southern Conference.

In his fi rst season at UNCG, Stewart led a very young Spartan squad to a seventh place fi nish at the 2002 SoCon Tournament. The Spartans’ top three performers were all freshmen.

Stewart came to UNCG after a fi ve-year stint at his alma mater, Lenoir-Rhyne Col-lege. Stewart served as head coach for both the men’s and women’s golf teams. In that time, Stewart was named the 2001 South Atlantic Conference Women’s Coach of the Year and the 1999 South Atlantic Men’s Coach of the Year. He led the Bears women’s squad to the 2000 and 2001 NCAA Division II National Championships.Stewart led the men’s team to the 1999, 2000 and 2001 Catawba Valley/Lenoir-Rhyne Cup. He also created the Billy Joe Patton Intercollegiate that began in 1997, as well as the Bay Medical Intercollegiate that began in 2000. In his fi ve years at Lenoir-Rhyne, four players were named all-conference.

Stewart formed and coached the school’s fi rst women’s team in 1998. He created and served as host for the Lenoir-Rhyne/Myrtle Beach Intercollegiate, as well as the Carter Invitational. Seven women’s golfers were named all-conference under Stewart, includ-ing two All-Americans, two SAC Players of the Year and one Freshmen of the Year.

The Williamsburg, VA, native was a four-year letterwinner at Lenoir-Rhyne from 1990-94. He earned fi rst team All-South Atlantic Conference honors as a senior and started every tournament of his career for the Bears. He graduated in 1994 with a bachelor of arts degree in sports management.

In the summer of 2002, Stewart shot a two-round total of 139 in the US Amateur Public Links Qualifi er at Tanglewood to fi nish third in the fi eld of 133. He advanced to and participated in the 2002 US Amateur Public Links in Detroit, Michigan.

In 2004, Stewart fi red a two-under 70 at the Independence Golf Club outside Rich-mond, VA to qualify for the US Mid-Amateur.

Stewart is married, to the former Yvonne Miller of Lenoir, NC. The couple resides in Greensboro and have one son, Spencer.

UNCG hosted the second annual Bridgestone Golf Intercollegiate at Forest Oaks Country Club on April 3 and 4, 2006 in Greensboro, NC. The famed Forest Oaks course has been home to the PGA’s Chrysler Classic of Greensboro since 1977. The par 72, 7,311-yard layout was designed by noted golf course architect Ellis Maples, a protege of the legendary Donald Ross, in the 1960’s. PGA Tour star Davis Love III recently headed up a redesign that has earned praise from his peers and club’s membership and guests. The Bridgestone will not be played in the 2006-07 season but will return in the fall of 2007.

2006 UNCG Men’s Golf: Southern Conference

24

The Southern Conference, which enters its 86th season of intercollegiate competition in 2006, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in em-phasizing the development of the student-athlete and defi ning the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Division I-AA football conference since earn-ing that classifi cation in 1981. The Conference cur-rently consists of 11 members in four states through-out the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fi fth-old-est NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacifi c 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the fi rst “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Ala-bama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams, highlighted this year by College of Charleston’s Phillip Coker, who was named Academic All-American of the Year in baseball. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship win-ners have been selected from the conference.

MEMBERSHIP HISTORYThe Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, GA. Fourteen insti-tutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the South-ern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Caro-lina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Vir-ginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competi-tion began in the fall of 1921. In 1922, six more schools - Florida, Louisiana State, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Van-derbilt - joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined the ranks. Virginia Military Insti-tute became a member in 1925 and Duke University came into the fold in 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of member-ship changes with 42 institutions having been affi li-ated with the league. The league has undergone two major transitions during its history. The fi rst occurred in December 1932 when the Southeastern Conference was formed out of the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13 mem-bers west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the extensive travel de-mands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern Conference invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davidson, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership. The second major shift happened in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest of-fi cially withdrew from the league to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. This change was brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to sched-ule a greater number of regular season basketball games against their local rivals. Today, the league continues to thrive with a mem-bership that spans four Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. The most recent ad-dition, Elon University, joined the Southern Confer-ence on July 1, 2003.

LEADERSHIPThe start of the 2006 football campaign sees John Ia-marino enter his fi rst football season as the Southern Conference’s commissioner. Iamarino, who offi cially became the SoCon commissioner on January 2, 2006, previously served as the commissioner of the

Northeast Conference for nine seasons. In his nine years with the Somerset, NJ-based NEC, Iamarino promoted the conference through an ambitious agenda designed to improve the quality of competition, upgrade compliance-related matters and generally increase the marketing and brand aware-ness of the conference and its member institutions. To improve the 21 championship NEC sports for the more than 2,200 student-athletes who compete, Iamarino helped secure professional facilities to ac-commodate baseball, indoor track & fi eld, tennis and women’s swimming championships. Tournament gifts, awards, trophies and event programs were all systematically upgraded. Iamarino replaced Danny Morrison who served as commissioner from November 13, 2001 until June 15, 2005. Morrison left the league to become the di-rector of athletics at Texas Christian University. The Southern Conference named its fi rst commis-sioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the fi rst person at the helm of the conference. Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Ger-mann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athlet-ics. He was succeeded by Dave Hart in 1987 who spearheaded the transfer of the league offi ce from Charlotte, NC to Asheville, NC. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retire-ment in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball Tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was fol-lowed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA offi ce, introduced the current SoCon logo and elevated the conference’s commit-ment to marketing and development of corporate partners. He became the president of the Asheville franchise of the National Basketball Development League in 2001.

CHAMPIONSHIPS HISTORYThe fi rst Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the fi rst recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. In May of 1923, the league held its fi rst outdoor track and fi eld championship in Montgomery, AL. Mississippi A&M (now Mississippi State) captured six individual titles on its way to winning the team championship. Two other sports - cross country and tennis - held their fi rst championships during the 1920s. North Carolina won the initial cross country team championship in 1926 in Athens, Ga. Tennis crowned its fi rst singles and doubles champions in New Orleans, La. in 1928. Donald Cram of Vanderbilt was the league’s fi rst singles champion, while Leon-ard Chamberlin and Maurie Bayon of Tulane won the doubles title. The 1930s saw four more sports - wrestling, indoor track and fi eld, swimming and golf - celebrate their fi rst conference championships. VMI played host to and won the fi rst league wrestling team champion-ship in 1930. Washington & Lee won the fi rst indoor track team championship, which also took place in 1930 and was held at Chapel Hill, NC. The University of Virginia hosted and won the fi rst league swimming championship in 1933, while Duke captured the fi rst conference golf team title at Sedgefi eld Country Club in Greensboro, NC later that same year. Baseball was introduced as a Southern Confer-ence sport in 1947 as Clemson captured the league championship that year. Rifl e held its fi rst conference championship in 1956, while soccer was the most recently added men’s sport in 1967. The Southern Conference began sponsoring women’s sports during the 1983-84 season. That year, volleyball, basketball and tennis championships were held in the league. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and out-door 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 currently declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, tennis, golf and softball.

COACHES AND ADMINISTRATORS The Southern Conference has also been a breed-ing ground for some of college athletics’ most recog-nized coaches and administrators. Legendary basketball coaches Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and Everett Case of North Carolina State both worked the sidelines in the Southern Confer-ence. Rupp guided the Wildcats to a 30-5 mark dur-ing the 1931 and 1932 seasons. Yet, for all his coach-ing accomplishments, Rupp never led Kentucky to a Southern Conference tournament championship. Case mentored the Wolfpack to six consecutive Southern Conference Tournament championships from 1947 through 1952. In North Carolina State’s fi nal season in the league, the Wolfpack won the reg-ular season title but fell in the tournament champion-ship game to Wake Forest, 71-70. Despite coaching in the conference for just seven seasons, Case is the ninth winningest coach in league history and aver-aged 26.7 wins per year during his tenure, the best mark in conference history. Case was named South-ern Conference Coach-of-the-Year three times.Lefty Driesell, most recently the head coach at Geor-gia State, coached Davidson to three Southern Con-ference Tournament championships in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Driesell also won the league’s Coach-of-the-Year award four straight times from 1963 through 1966. Former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins earned league Coach-of-the-Year honors three times in the late ’70s and early ’80s while at Appalachian State. Cremins returned to the league in July 2006 when he was named head coach at College of Charleston. Terry Holland saw his basketball coaching career take off at Davidson when he returned to his alma mater in 1970. Holland was honored as the Southern Conference Coach-of-the-Year for three consecu-tive seasons from 1970-72 and led the Wildcats to the conference tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1970. Holland later led Virginia to the Final Four in 1984. After his coaching career concluded, Holland returned to the Southern Conference as the athletic director at Davidson from 1990-1995 before accepting the same position at Vir-ginia. J. Dallas Shirley, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, spent 21 years as the assistant to the com-missioner and supervisor of offi cials in the Southern Conference. Shirley worked with the conference from 1967 until 1988 under three commissioners: Lloyd P. Jordan, Kenneth G. Germann, and David R. Hart. Shirley was a basketball offi cial in the Southern Conference for 30 years and offi ciated over 2,000 career games in various leagues. He also served as president of the International Association Basketball Offi cials and the United States Olympic Basketball Committee. Even the legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant got his coaching start in the Southern Conference as he guided the Maryland Terrapins in 1945. A former Southern Conference football coach who reached “folk legend” status is the late Frank Howard of Clem-son, who guided the Tigers as a league member from 1940-52. Howard won 69 Southern Conference games which still ranks tied for fourth on the league’s all-time coaching victories list. The Southern Conference has been represented on the sidelines at fi ve Super Bowls in recent years. Bobby Ross, who piloted the San Diego Chargers to the 1996 Super Bowl, was the head coach at The Cit-adel from 1973-77. Former Buffalo Bills head coach Marv Levy directed William & Mary from 1964-68. He was succeeded at William & Mary by Lou Holtz. Wil-liam & Mary competed in the Southern Conference from 1936-77.

In 2005, UNCG ranked #2 nationally by “The Princeton Review” among best bargain public universities.

For the last six years, UNCG has been ranked in The Princeton Review’s “Best 357 Colleges” guide.

UNCG, with a campus currently covering 210 acres, was founded in 1892, making this the 115th year of its existence.

In the Fall of 2006, UNCG had a record enrollment of 16,600, including more than 12,000 undergraduates. At the start of the decade, the total enroll-ment at UNCG was less than 13,000.

The average SAT score for en-rolled freshman in 2005 was 1051, the highest it has ever been. 53 percent of the freshman class had a high school GPA of 3.5 or better.

In 2006, UNCG launched the Lloyd International Honors College.

UNCG is located just two hours from theAppalachian Mountains or three hours from the Carolina Beaches.

The Piedmont Triad is home to more than a million people, including 238,440 in Greensboro.

At the center of the UNCG campus stands a statue of the Roman Goddess Minerva. The original statue was a gift from the Class of 1907. James Barnhill (‘53) was commissioned to create a new statue in 2003. Minerva has been a symbol for the University dating back to the fi rst time it appeared on diplomas in 1892.

With a record number or more than 16,000 students enrolled for Fall 2005, a dedicated faculty and staff numbering more than 2,000, and exciting new developments underway, UNCG is rapidly taking its place as one of the fi nest institutions of higher learning in the country.

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is classifi ed by The Carnegie Foundation as a Doctoral/Research-Intensive University. The University was established in 1891 and became coeducational in 1963. The 210-acre campus is located one mile from the center of Greensboro, a city of 238,440. The Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point Metropoli-tan Statistical Area, commonly known as “The Triad” has a population of approximately

1.3 million.

University HistoryThe University has a rich history. It was chartered Feb.

18, 1891, as the State Normal and Industrial School (later College), the fi rst state-supported school for the higher

education of women in North Carolina. The institution came into being as a direct result of a crusade made by Charles

Duncan McIver on behalf of the education of women. Other pioneers in public school ed-ucation — notably, Charles B. Aycock, Edwin A. Alderman, and James Y. Joyner — came to Dr. McIver’s assistance; but to him, more than to any other individual, the University owes its foundation.

In the past century the University has evolved in its mission, as suggested with its sequence of names. It was known fi rst as the State Normal and Industrial School, and after 1896 as the State Normal and Industrial College until 1919. During the period 1919-1931 it was known as the North Carolina College for Women, and became the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina from 1932 to 1963. It is warmly remembered as “the WC” by its many alumnae of the period.

During the years 1932-1963 the University was one of the three branches of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. The other branches included The Univer-sity of North Carolina (at Chapel Hill) and the North Carolina State College of Agri-culture and Engineering (at Raleigh). In 1962, the Board of Trustees recommend-ed that the Greensboro campus become coeducational at all levels of instruction beginning with the fall of 1964. Subsequently, by act of the General Assembly in the Spring of 1963, the name of the institution was changed to The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

In December of 1934, during the years of the Consolidated University, the Woman’s College Section of Phi Beta Kappa was installed.

On February 17, 1956 Epsilon Chapter of North Carolina was installed at this campus.

In October of 1971, the North Carolina General Assembly adopted legisla-tion which combined all 16 of the state-supported institutions of higher education into a single University of North Carolina. The UNC system is governed by a board of governors and administered by a president. Each constituent institution has a separate board of trustees and is administered by a chancellor.

The crusader for founding the institution, Charles Duncan McIver, served the institution as its fi rst chief executive offi cer with the title of President. By act of the Board of Trustees in 1945, the title was changed to Chancellor. Dr. Patri-cia A. Sullivan became UNCG’s fi rst woman chancellor in January 1995, suc-ceeding Dr. Debra W. Stewart, Dean of the Graduate School at North Carolina State University who was named Interim Chancellor in the summer of 1994.

During its fi rst seven decades, the institution’s mission was to prepare women, primarily undergraduates, for the most effective living of that day. To-day that goal – effective living – remains the same, but its scope has been greatly expanded.

As UNCG, it now offers men and women over 150 graduate and under-graduate programs and provides opportunities to apply classroom learn-ing to real life situations through internships and practica. It also offers

students the chance to tailor-make their own programs of study

Today’s UNCGThe University of North Carolina at Greensboro is one of the

fastest growing universities around. With a record 16,060 students enrolled, including 10,584 full-time undergraduates, the university has positioned itself for continued growth and success as the 21st century evolves. Despite record numbers of students, the student/faculty ratio is still just 16:1.

Today’s UNCG includes:

• The College of Arts and Sciences, which is made up of the departments of Anthropology, Art, Biology, Broadcasting and Cinema, Chemistry, Classical Studies, Communication, English, Geography, German and Russian, History, Mathematical Sci-ences, Philosophy, Physics and Astronomy, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Romance Languages, Sociol-ogy, and Theatre. It also includes the Residential College and The Center for Critical Inquiry in the Liberal Arts.

• The Joseph M. Bryan School of Business and Econom-ics, which was established in 1969 as the School of Business and Economics and renamed in 1987. It is made up of the de-partments of Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Information Systems and Operations Management, the Center for Applied Research, the Center for Economic Education, and the Center for Global Business Education and Research. The Bryan School’s vision is to be recognized for the global business and information technology perspectives of its programs.

• The School of Education, which is made up of the departments of Counseling and Educational Development, Cur-riculum and Instruction, Educational Leadership and Cultural Foundations, Educational Research Methodology, Library and Information Studies, Specialized Education Services. Founded in 1921, the School of Education also includes The Collegium for the Advancement of Schools, Schooling and Education. The Collegium is comprised of the Center for Educational Research and Evaluation, the Center for Educational Studies and Development, the Center for Information Technologies Education, the Center for School Accountability and Staff Development, and the Piedmont Triad Horizons Education Consortium. The school’s teacher education programs for elementary and middle grades are considered among the best in North Carolina and the Southeast.

• The School of Health and Human Performance, which was established in 1970 as the School of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance was renamed in 1990. The school offers academic programs of distinction in both theory and performance. It is made up of fi ve departments: Communication Sciences and Disorders; Dance; Exercise and Sport Science; Public Health Education; and Recreation, Parks and Tourism.

• The School of Human Environmental Sciences, which was established in 1949 as the School of Home Economics and renamed in 1987. It prepares students for professional careers in fi elds which improve the quality of life for individuals and families. The school is made up of the departments of Housing and Interior Design, Human Development and Family Studies, Nutrition and Foodservice Systems; Social Work, and Textile Products Design and Marketing.

• The Graduate School, which was established in 1921, is responsible for the welfare of all of the graduate programs on campus and approximately 3600 graduate students from 33 states and 34 foreign countries. These students work with more than 500 graduate faculty members who are actively engaged in research, scholarship and creative activity.

• The School of Music, which was established in 1921, rated as one of the Top 20 in the country, combines rigorous theory, history, and performance training with a broad liberal arts education. The University opened a $25.7 million state-of-the-art music facility in 1999. It is the only comprehensive slate of performance and music education degrees from the baccalaureate through the doctorate in North Carolina.

• The School of Nursing, which was established in 1966, is the largest in North Carolina. It is recognized for the excellence of its programs and the success of its graduates. The master’s program in nurse anesthesia was ranked eighth nationally by U.S. News and World Report. In addition, UNCG is the fi rst institution in the UNC system to offer a combined Master of Science in Nursing and Master of Business Administration in health management.

The Aubrey Paul & Georgia Garrison Lloyd International Honors College, which was established in 2006. It is named for the parents of Ms. Rebecca Lloyd, a patron of the College whose support has been invaluable in the formation of the Honors College. Ms. Lloyd’s gift, a $4 million endowment, was the largest-ever alumni gift at UNCG.

The International Honors College offers enhanced academics, international and global perspectives, and a variety of extra-curricular activities that will give its students the skills and knowledge needed to be admitted to the most prestigious graduate schools, to compete for nationally competitive awards like the Fulbright, and to start exciting careers in the United States and abroad.

Students in any major can choose from among its three different programs. All of these programs can be completed in the time it takes to earn a regular degree and offer a wide variety of small, innovative seminar-style courses that are the hallmark of a quality honors experience.

A special characteristic of the IHC is its emphasis on international and global perspectives. In today’s world, interna-tional and global perspectives are a necessary part of a solid, complete university education. At IHC, these perspectives are not isolated in a single course or two.

Instead, students can fi nd those perspectives throughout the College’s programs – in most of its courses, in its honors residence hall, and in a variety of extra- and co-curricular activities. For honors students who study abroad at one of UNCG’s partner universities, a travel fund is available.

Finally, the IHC operates on the principle that while courses are important, its students’ education is too important to be limited to the classroom. It offers its students a variety of special activities both at UNCG and abroad – an honor residence hall, special advising, student symposia, guest lectures and performances, informal coffees, internships and enhanced study abroad experiences.

based on individual needs and goals.Although contemporary in its educational program,

UNCG is also realistic. In its effort to prepare graduates for effective living, it has built into its program the fl exibil-ity needed to meet the rapidly changing needs of society. UNCG, therefore, will remain a university in transition, not satisfi ed with yesterday or today, but always looking to-ward tomorrow.

The University CommunityOf the more than 16,000 students enrolled in the fall

of 2005, 68 percent were female. In addition, 20 percent of the undergraduate student body and 13 percent of the graduate student body were minorities. UNCG’s enroll-ment increased 8.8 percent from the year before, the larg-est increase since 1974.

In the fall of 2005, UNCG enrolled a record 2,424 freshman, 45 percent of which ranked in the top quarter of their high school graduating class. In addition, 53 percent of the incoming freshman class had a high school GPA of 3.5 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).

The University also enrolled 1,253 transfer students. From those students fi rst enrolled in the fall of 2004, 78 percent returned in the fall of 2005.

Among the more than 16,000 students at UNCG, 32 percent of the student body lives in on-campus housing.

Undergraduates have more than 100 areas of study from which to choose a major leading to one of six un-dergraduate degrees. In addition, there are 59 master’s degrees and 20 doctoral degrees offered.

Among the 855 members of the faculty, nearly three-fourths are full-time. More than 80 percent of the faculty hold doctorates or other terminal degrees. In the 2004-05 academic year, faculty engaged in 6,466 scholarly or creative works and published 56 books and 548 refereed articles. Faculty members earned 220 grants, as well. In all, the UNCG faculty submitted 316 research proposals totalling $99.7 million.

Typically, UNCG awards more than 2,000 bachelor’s and nearly 1,000 master’s degrees during graduation festivities held each December and May. At the spring 2006 graduation ceremony, the University granted 1,326 bachelor’s degrees, 604 master’s degrees and 47 doctoral diplomas.

UNCG has long had a reputation for academic excel-lence and is one of only six higher education institutions in the state with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

Athletes at UNCG are not an exception to the rule. At the end of each of the last two academic years, more than 40% of UNCG student-athletes held a grade-point-aver-age of 3.0 or better. A record 52 percent of UNCG’s stu-dent-athletes made the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll (3.0 GPA in a semester) in the Spring 2006 semester.

In October 2004, “Cosmo GIRL”, a magazine geared towards young women, rated UNCG one of the Top 50 in-stitutions in America. For its study, the magazine focused on specifi c factors important to female students: small class size, prominent female faculty, strong women’s ath-letic programs, a career center that facilitates internship opportunities, leadership options among clubs and activi-ties and an active alumni network. The fi nalists were se-lected from 2,685 colleges and universities.

In August 2005, The Princeton Review rated UNCG the second-best bargain in its “The Best 357 Colleges” guide. It marked the sixth-straight UNCG appeared in the guide, and its highest-ever rating.

A look up College Avenue – the heart of the UNCG campus. Once a main road through campus, it is now only open to pedestrian traf-fi c.

A statue of Charles McIver, the universi-ty’s founder, sits in the middle of cam-pus.

UNCG’s brand new $16.9 million Hall for Humanities and Re-search Administra-tion, which opened this past summer, sits on Spring Gar-den St. in the heart of campus.

UNCG was also ranked in the Top 50 public universities by Consumer’s Digest, making it the only institution to appear in both rankings (Princeton Review and Consumer’s Digest).

In-state tuition and room and board rates for UNCG are just over $9,000 per year, while out-of-state rates are just over $20,000 per year.

Campus life is enriched by a “small college” atmosphere and many ex-tracurricular and coeducational activities. There are more than 130 student organizations, an active Student Government, fraternities and sororities, and a Campus Recreation program which offers informal, intramural and club sports, as well as an extensive outdoor adventure program.

The more than 80 buildings on the campus refl ect the 115-year history of the University. There are many new features, including a new, $26 million music building which opened in August 1999, and renovations to the Elliott University Center, which were recently completed. UNCG received approxi-mately $166 million from the state for construction and renovation, based on voter approval of Higher Education Bonds. The $17.6 million Maud Gate-wood Studio Arts Building and the $16.9 million Hall for Humanities and Re-search Administration are the centerpieces of the project. Groundbreaking took place in spring of 2001 and operations within the two buildings began this summer. In addition, construction began on a 400-student residence hall in 2005, which is expected to be completed for use during the 2006-07 academic year. Also included are renovations to the Student Health Center, Aycock Auditorium and Petty, Brown and McNutt buildings, as well as a connector between Jackson Library and the Elliott University Center. The many construction projects on the UNCG campus show the growth of the university, while at the same time attempting to preserve many of the struc-tures that have made the institution what it is today.

The Second Century Campaign for UNCG, which concluded Dec. 31, 1998, raised $55.4 million over a fi ve-year span to create 77 new schol-arship and fellowship funds, as well as funds for research, programs and acquisitions.

In the Fall of 2004, the University announced that its newest campaign, entitled the Students First Campaign. The campaign has a fundraising goal of $78 million. The Students First Campaign will set aside $52 million for scholarships to make UNCG the school of choice for top high school stu-dents in the North Carolina and elsewhere.

Remaining funds will also be used for endowments to attract top pro-fessors, expansion of university facilities and expansion of public services. UNCG hopes to meet its goal by the year 2009.

UNCG is a member of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (NASULGC) and the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AASCU).

2006-07 UNCG Men’s Golf: Chancellor

28

Dr. Patricia A. Sullivan, who has served as UNCG’s Chancellor since January 1, 1995, is the institution’s ninth chief executive and the fi rst woman to serve in the position.

Her leadership has sustained UNCG’s record of excellence and prepared a solid foundation for the future. UNCG was founded as State Normal and Industrial School, a college for women in 1891. The institution became coeducational in 1963. Today, UNCG offers a full range of undergraduate and graduate programs.

Sullivan led the University through a strategic planning process that produced the UNCG Plan. Created for fi ve-year increments, the Plan provides a framework for enhancing UNCG’s position as a diverse, student-centered research university, linking the Triad and North Carolina to the world through learning, discovery, and service.

Under Dr. Sullivan’s leadership, enrollment at UNCG exceeded 16,000 last academic year for the fi rst time ever, while academic standards for admission have increased. The campus continues to lead the UNC system in minority enrollment, underscoring UNCG’s commitment to diversity. New undergraduate programs for freshman include Communication Across the Curriculum and the living-learning communities.

Distinctive graduate programs include genetic counseling and management information systems, along with new Ph.D. programs in the areas of nursing, public health, economics, geography, history, information technology and special education.

Funding to support research and community projects has continued to grow, along with giving by the University’s friends and supporters. UNCG’s new Students First Campaign is under way, with a goal of raising $78.2 million through 2009. The earlier Second Century Campaign for UNCG, which ended in December 1998, raised $55.4 million, far exceeding the original goal of $42.8 million.

Now in his 24th year as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at UNCG, Nelson E. Bobb has developed a nationally recognized p r o g r a m t h a t h a s continually succeeded in competition as well as in the classroom.

Bobb, the first full-time athletic director at the Univers i ty, is the primary architect of a

program that now features 16 NCAA Division I teams, eight for men and eight for women.

When he arrived in July 1983, there were eight teams competing on the Division III level. The University authorized the shift to Division I in February 1987 and he guided the program through the unprecedented change in competitive status in only five years. UNCG is one of only a dozen institutions to ever compete in all three divisions. However, no other institution has made the complete shift of all teams from Division III to Division I in that time frame.

During his tenure, he has watched over the construction or renovation of all of the Spartans’ athletic venues. He began that process by serving on the committee that built Fleming Gymnasium and the HHP Building in 1989. He then moved onto the transformation of Campus Field in 1991 into what is today UNCG Soccer Stadium – one of the premier venues in all of college soccer. In 1999, he oversaw the construction of the UNCG Baseball Stadium and the renovation and lighting of the UNCG Tennis Courts. Last year, he added to the list the transformation of UNCG’s softball facility to become a top-of-the-line stadium venue, and the reconfiguration of seating in Fleming Gym, which added chairback seating on both sides and additional stands under one of the baskets.

Under Bobb’s guidance, Spartan student-athletes have consistently graduated at a rate equal to or higher than the general student population at UNCG. Each of the last two academic years, more than 40 percent of UNCG’s student-athletes earned Dean’s List. Last spring, a record 52 percent of student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA in the semester.

Other recent program accomplishments include completing the NCAA certification process for Division I institutions twice and successfully transitioning the department’s teams into Southern Conference membership.

Under Bobb’s leadership, UNCG hosted the final two rounds of the 1997 and 1998 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship, and was home to Olympic athletes from several countries for training prior to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996.

During his tenure, UNCG teams have won 34 conference tournament titles, 25 as an NCAA Division I member. They have also won 63 conference regular season titles, 37 of those since moving to NCAA Division I.

UNCG earned the Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in the Big South for three consecutive years. While Bobb was athletic director in the 1980’s, the men’s soccer team won four Division III national championships and the women’s basketball team made five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with a third-place finish in 1988.

During his tenure at UNCG, Bobb has also served in various NCAA appointments, including serving on one of the first NCAA Certification teams. Most recently, Bobb served on the Division I Men’s Soccer National Committee

and had a two-year term as the chair of the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Soccer Rules Committee.

UNCG student-athletes have received numerous awards. In 1984, he established the Chancellor’s Scholar-Athlete Award to honor the student-athlete(s) posting the highest grade-point average annually.

Bobb, a native of Gahanna, OH, oversees a staff of more than 50 full and part-time employees with administrative divisions of administration and business, student welfare, facilities and operations and integrated public affairs within the department.

Before coming to UNCG, Bobb served as an assistant athletic director at Cornell University for five years. He also served as an assistant football coach at Cornell for nine seasons.

A 1970 graduate of Kent State (OH) with a bachelor’s degree in education, Bobb also holds a master’s degree in secondary education from Kent. As an undergraduate, he was a three-year letterwinner on the football team as an offensive guard and earned All-Academic recognition from the Mid-American Conference as a junior. He was an all-conference choice his senior year.

2006-07 UNCG Men’s Golf: Athletics History

32

The overnight success of the UNCG athletics program has been some 60 years in the making.

Spartan teams are big achievers in their 16th year in Division I competition.

The success story however, began while UNCG was still the Women’s College of the University of North Carolina and intercollegiate competition for women was still in its infancy.

1940sNancy Porter may have been the fi rst student-athlete in the modern sense of the word at UNCG. The Ohio native competed in national women’s golf tournaments as early as 1948.

1950sWomen’s College hosted the 10th national golf tournament in 1954 at Starmount Country Club. The College fi elded regionally competitive teams that had their beginnings in club sports, play days and other recreational events.

1960sUNCG launched women’s basketball in 1963 under coach Ellen Griffi n. Other early teams were tennis, golf and fi eld hockey.

LPGA Hall of Famer Carol Mann was a student at UNCG. She left school early to turn professional.

The University became co-educational in 1963.

Men’s athletics were added in 1967-68 and the intercollegiate program for men and women received formal recognition from the University. During the fall of 1967, the nickname Spartans was adopted, giving the athletic teams a “fi erce mascot, while still preserving the heritage of the WC’s Minerva mark.”

Men’s teams joined the Dixie Conference in 1968.

Bowling was one of the early men’s teams.

1970sThe women’s basketball team fi nished fourth in the National Collegiate Tournament in 1971. The team was one of the fi rst to compete with the fi ve-player rule.

The women’s golf team won the University’s fi rst team national championship in 1973, coached by Nancy Porter and featuring future pro Donna Horton White.

UNCG was a leader in forming the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).

1980sThe men’s basketball team, coached by Larry Hargett, won the Dixie Conference Championship and competed in the NCAA Division III Tournament in 1980.

Ryan Fox won the 1981 individual national title in Division III men’s golf.

In the spring of 1981, the University streamlined its program from 12 to eight teams, all competing at the NCAA Division III level. The 1981-82 academic year was the fi rst in which the NCAA sponsored women’s championships.

The men’s soccer team was ranked in the national Top-20 for the fi rst time in September of 1981. It did not leave the poll for another 10 years.

Coached by Lynne Agee, in her fi rst season, the women’s basketball team fi nished runner-up in the inaugural Division III championship in 1982. It was the fi rst of seven straight NCAA trips for the team.

With Mike Berticelli at the helm, UNCG captured its fi rst men’s national championship in soccer in 1982 and then repeated in 1983.

The women’s tennis team, under Agee’s direction, was the national runner-up in 1983.

Nelson E. Bobb was hired as the fi rst full-time athletic director in 1983.

The women’s volleyball team posted a 34-3 record and reached the NCAA quarterfi nals in 1984.

Men’s soccer player Eddie Radwanski, the fi rst two-time All-American in the program’s history, was the fi rst pick in the Major Indoor Soccer League draft in 1985.

Under Michael Parker’s direction, the men’s soccer team became the fi rst in NCAA history to win three consecutive national championships, in 1985, 1986 and 1987.

In February of 1987, the University announced the elevation of the athletic program from Division III to Division I, an unprec-edented move in NCAA history.

The women’s basketball team fi nished third in the nation after entering the NCAA Tournament unranked in 1988.

The Division II era began in 1988-89 and women’s soccer was added to the program. The team was ranked No. 13 nationally before ever playing a game.

The men’s soccer team was runner-up in the 1989 Division II national tournament and Jason Haupt led all divisions in scoring.

1990sThe men’s and women’s soccer team were ranked No. 1 nationally in Division II at the same time in 1990.

The women’s volleyball and basketball teams made Division II playoff appearances in 1990-91.

Women’s golf returned to the athletic program and baseball was added in 1990-91.

2006-07 UNCG Men’s Golf: Acad. Enhancem

ent

40

At the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, it is the athletic department’s goal to see that UNCG student-athletes graduate with a degree in their chosen fi eld. The demands of integrating athletic competition, academic success and personal growth are challenging.

The Academic Enhancement Program (AEP) bridges the gap between education, athletics and other university programs. The primary goal of the AEP is to help student-athletes make satisfactory progress toward graduation while providing the education and services they need to maintain a well-balanced lifestyle amid the demands of an NCAA Division I institution.

AEP focuses on the whole individual – academic, athletic, and emotional – in the years during and after college. AEP fi rmly believes that there is a direct relationship between quality of effort (both academic and athletic) and performance. AEP considers the results achieved in the classroom to be a direct refl ection on UNCG’s athletic program.

Through AEP, students explore university programs, options and opportunities, although UNCG student-athletes are expected to take responsibility for their own actions and decisions. They are expected to represent themselves, their team, ICA and UNCG in a manner that consistently promotes honesty, fairness, trust, respect and responsibility.

Services provided by the AEP staff include:• Facilitate positive freshman experience through

participation in SOAR (Spartan Orientation, Advising and Registration) & UNS (University Studies - required of all freshmen student-athletes);

• Provide academic support helping student-athletes utilize campus support systems;

• Monitor academic progress of student-athletes through 5 & 10 week reports;

• Provide a monitored structured study area where student-athletes can work;

• Facilitate student-athlete’s exploration of academic interests, majors, & career options to allow him/her to graduate with a meaningful degree;

• Work with student-athletes to help them understand degree audit sheets, degree evaluations and the impact those have on working toward graduation.

Student-Athlete responsibilities include:• Complete Virtual Advising before SOAR; • Be familiar with different programs, majors and options

available; • Choose a major that blends student’s own interests

and strengths; • Explore academic options with academic advisor in

his/her major; • Monitor their own academic progress with instructors

and advisors;

• Participate in structured study during the fall semester of their freshman year.

Academic ExcellenceAEP works to support the academic progress of student-

athletes toward intellectual development and graduation. At UNCG, the Student Academic Services, Learning Assistance Center, Counseling and Testing Center, Speaking Center and Writing Center help AEP provide information in the following areas:

• Structured study; • Academic agendas; • Goal setting; • Time management; • Study skills; • Tutoring; • Study groups; • Progress reports (for all student-athletes in all courses

twice per semester);

Academic DevelopmentAEP encourages student-athletes to develop and pursue

career goals and life goals. The School of Education’s Counseling and Educational Development Department, Business and Career Services’ representatives provide student-athletes with a variety of experiences, including:

• CED 210: Career and Life Planning; • Field experiences; • Career Day.AEP’s staff includes a director, an assistant academic

coordinator, graduate interns, daytime and Sunday night structured study monitors and tutors. The staff includes professionals who provide various services such as academic advising, career counseling, individual and small group tutoring, classroom instruction and other support services.

Academic AdvisingFreshmen and sophomores without a declared major will

be advised through the College of Arts and Sciences. All other student-athletes follow the normal procedures for university academic advising concerning schedules, possible class choices, degree requirements, etc.

AEP staff monitor academic progress, advise and counsel student-athletes and serve as a liaison between ICA and the academic community. Progress letters are sent to faculty

requesting input such as grades, attendance, etc. Students are assigned tutors in any problem areas.

Offi ce of Academic ComplianceUNCG’s newest addition to its academic services, the

Academic Compliance Offi ce is charged with monitoring and evaluating issues related to the continuing eligibility of the student-athletes and completing NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) reporting forms regarding continuing eligibility and retention. Academic Compliance also works closely with student-athletes who are identifi ed as needing extra attention while adjusting academically and socially.

The goal of the Academic Compliance Offi ce is to serve as a bridge for UNCG’s student-athletes and assist in connecting them with the appropriate campus-based support service dependent upon their specifi c needs. The main goal of this offi ce is to assist student-athletes in their pursuit of a degree and ensure compliance with University and NCAA guidelines.

The Academic Compliance offi ce relies on a combination of professionals and offi ces across campus to be successful in delivering quality guidance and assistance to our student-athletes in a timely fashion. The staff provides a wide array of services and programs that are geared towards developing the fundamental skills needed to be successful in college both as a student and an athlete.

As a whole, the University community must strive to reach the ultimate goal of “being recognized in Division I as a national leader in the welfare of the student-athlete.”

“The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics (ICA) is actively engaged in the University community and is committed to the development of a competitive Division I program that is nationally recognized as a leader in the welfare of our student-athletes and professional staff. Mirroring the University, ICA is a community of students and professionals of diverse backgrounds embracing an informed appreciation of different views and cultures, as well as their own. Their quality of experiences will encompass the social, aesthetic and ethical development of all individuals represented in the program regardless of race, color, creed, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, veteran status, political orientation or sexual orientation.

“A founding guideline of Division I athletics at UNCG states that the student-athlete is fi rst and foremost a student. ICA makes every effort to provide an environment for learning where the student-athlete’s responsibilities are integral to their educational success inside and outside the formal classroom. The University provides numerous academic support programs aimed at assisting a student’s academic growth. ICA seeks to further assist student-athletes by enhancing current academic programs and providing educational initiatives supplemental to those offered by the University. These initiatives are designed to stimulate intellectual, social, cultural, gender and personal development of the student-athlete. The goals of these programs are to promote the graduation of student-athletes at a rate equal to or greater than the overall undergraduate student population. A special emphasis is placed on maintaining comparable graduation rates for student-athletes in every demographic group.”

Fleming Gym All-Time RecordsMichael B. Fleming Gymnasium is located in the Health and Human Performance Building, a $16.2 million facility which opened on campus in June of 1989.

In October of 2005, the gym underwent the fi rst phase of a two-part renovation with the installation of new seating on the west side bleachers. The new seating includes chairback seating on the lower half with bleacher bench seating in the upper half. This past summer, the east side went through a similar renovation.

The gymnasium, which now has seating for 1,831, was named for Greensboro civic leader and one of the most ardent supporters of UNCG athletics on Dec. 1, 1994.

Spartan teams are in their 18th year in the gymnasium, as it was fi rst occupied during the 1989-90 academic year.

The women’s team is 160-46 (.777) in the facility. In 2004-05, UNCG earned its 150th win at Fleming when it defeated Davidson in a thrilling 90-87 double overtime victory on Feb. 15.

The largest crowd to see an athletic contest in the gym was 2,302 for a men’s basketball game against Charleston Southern, Feb. 25, 1995. The Spartans won, 98-70.
