UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND GOLF COURSE6,700-yard Championship Course

An 18-hole semi-private championship golf course located on the north perimeter of the University of Maryland’s flagship campus in College Park, the University of Maryland Golf Course is the home of the Terrapins’ men’s and women’s golf teams. Open year-round, the 6,700-yard championship course features a newly constructed clubhouse which was completed in April 1999. The course has long been the site of numerous state and regional tournaments, and the 35,000-sq. ft., plantation-style clubhouse has become a gathering point for campus and surrounding communities. The clubhouse upper level features a full-service bar, grill and banquet facility that seats 75 for lunch and tournament events, and can handle groups from eight to 200 including a banquet facility whose outdoor patio overlooks the course. Its main level features management offices, a fully-equipped pro shop with the latest styles of Terrapin golf attire, men’s and women’s locker facilities, and a Terrapin golf suite with offices, separate locker rooms and a lounge for the Terps’ men’s and women’s teams. Designed by George Cobb and built in 1955, the course plays 50,000 rounds per year with preference given to students, faculty, staff and alumni. Its semi-private facilities include a 5,000-sq. ft. putting green and a 45-station driving range.

WOMEN'S SEASON OUTLOOKTerps begin new era in sixth season. In sports, the axiom usually is that leadership equates to experience. The players counted on to lead teams usually are the most veteran or the juniors and seniors on a squad. For the University of Maryland women’s golf team, though, the leadership for 2005 will come from a pair of experienced sophomores who are poised to help the program continue to achieve and progress in its sixth season of existence. Kate Stepanek and Jessica Reno both bring a wealth of talent and outstanding freshmen seasons to the top of the Terrapins’ lineup for the spring. “We’re strong at the top,” said head coach Jason Rodenhaver, the only coach the Terps have had in the existence of the program. “Our No. 1 and No. 2 have really stepped up their game from last year. “Last year, they were freshmen. All of a sudden, with Kristen (McCurdy) getting hurt, they’ve gone from being freshmen into a leadership role. They’ve embraced that. Right now, we’ve got two legitimate All-ACC players at the top.” McCurdy had been a three-year starter for the Terps, but suffered a knee injury prior to the Fall 2004 season. That has left the door open for the talented sophomores at the top of the lineup. Stepanek posted a first- and second-place individual finish for the Terps in the fall, winning the Lady Jaguar Invitational in Augusta, Ga., in early November. She also had three straight 1-under-par 71s to place second at the Taco Bell Intercollegiate in mid-October. Stepanek also finished second on the team last year in scoring average to graduated-senior Marie Harper. “Kate is strong, she hits the ball a long way,” said Rodenhaver. “She’s also worked very hard on her short game and her wedge game. Now, she’s in position to make birdies. One thing I notice about her now is that if she misses a green, she’s getting the ball up and down for a par, not making bogeys or wasting shots.” Reno won the Delaware Women’s Amateur Championship last summer and continued her strong play during the Fall 2004 season. She posted a pair of top-20 finishes and was second to Stepanek in scoring average at 77.8 strokes per round. She was third on the team in scoring average during the Spring 2004 season. “She’s a good player, she was recruited by some big-time schools,” said Rodenhaver. “I knew she could play, but she’s been pretty consistent the last three tournaments. I think it’s going to help that Kate won, so hopefully she can get caught up in what Kate did. It’s a pretty good 1-2 punch.” Behind those two, the competition for spots in the lineup is expected to be impressive. The injury to McCurdy opened the door for a pair of freshmen – Kelly Calkin and Katie Trotter – to get some crucial playing experience in the fall.

“I knew both of them could play,” said Rodenhaver. “I’m happy to see Kelly play well. She’s a little bit farther along than I thought she would be.” Calkin, from St. Charles, Ill., had a top-20 finish at the Lady Jaguar Invitational in the final fall event, which was won by the Terps. Of the 14 rounds played by Maryland during Fall 2004, Calkin’s score counted in the team score 13 times. Trotter, a newcomer from Pittsburgh, Pa., was strong at times during her early collegiate performances and helped the Terps to a strong early showing. “Katie has played well at times and has struggled at times, but that’s only natural being a freshman,” said Rodenhaver. “Kristen getting hurt allowed both of them to get in the lineup. Their getting experience could be a blessing for us down the road.” The fifth spot during the fall was filled by sophomore Kelly MacWhinnie, taking over what Rodenhaver calls a crucial role in the team’s success. “Top to bottom, we’re better,” said the coach. “We’re definitely stronger up top, but also throughout the lineup. You win or lose tournaments in the fifth spot, and Kelly MacWhinnie came in and helped us win the golf tournament (Lady Jaguar).” Fighting for that fifth spot will be transfer Sarah O’Neill, a sophomore who came to Maryland after a season at the University of Richmond. Katie Elliott is the lone senior on the roster, while junior Lauren Yamada and sophomore Maggie Trainor will also push for playing time. Overall, Rodenhaver is continuing to see progress in both the tough Atlantic Coast Conference and in seeking a potential berth in the NCAA Tournament. “We’re in our sixth year and we’re kind of into a new era,” he said. “I think the players we have in the different classes are better than the freshmen or sophomores I had years ago.”

Head Coach: Jason Rodenhaver (Sixth Year/Maryland ‘94) * - Denotes letters won at Maryland

Jason Rodenhaver, who has overseen the development of the University of Maryland women’s golf program since its inception in 1999, is in his sixth season as the Terrapins’ head coach. A former Terrapin player and assistant coach for the university’s men’s golf team, Rodenhaver was selected to oversee the women’s golf program on Nov. 19, 1998. It was then he began the enviable task of building a brand new program that launched during the fall of 1999. A professional golfer,

Rodenhaver enthusiastically made the move to the coaching ranks and is creating a new era at the University of Maryland. With his sights set firmly on developing a solid foundation for the program, Rodenhaver has been given the resources necessary to compete at the national level. His playing and coaching experiences coupled with his competitive spirit and drive to be successful can mean only one thing for the women’s golf program at Maryland: eventual long-term success. Under his guidance, the Terps made their presence known in only their second full season, tying for first place at the James Madison Lady Dukes Invitational in April 2001. On three occasions in the past four seasons, Terrapin golfers have won or shared individual tournament titles. Rodenhaver was the assistant men’s golf coach at Maryland and an assistant golf professional at the University of Maryland Golf Course when he was named to lead the newly created women’s program. “Clearly, Jason was the most qualified and the best fit for his role of our new head coach,” said director of athletics Deborah A. Yow upon Rodenhaver’s appointment.

“Given his level of familiarity with the university and the local golf community, he will jump-start our women’s golf program, with the long-range goal of becoming a top-20 team. Women’s golf is our 13th sport for female student-athletes. Its addition is the capstone to our six-year gender equity plan.” On the course, Rodenhaver has co-directed Maryland’s summer camp for junior golfers and was tournament director of the State Farm Collegiate Players Tour, held at the University of Maryland Golf Course, from 1994-1998. He also organized the UM golf team reunion tournament in 1998 which helped raise $15,000 for the program. A 1994 graduate of the University of Maryland, Rodenhaver played three seasons for the Terps and led the team to a fifth-place finish at the Atlantic Coast Conference championship in 1994. The finish was Maryland’s highest in the conference championship since 1978. Rodenhaver was a two-year captain of the Terrapin men’s golf team and a participant in the NCAA East Regional in 1994. He played at Southern Methodist for one season (1990-1991) before transferring to Maryland. He received his bachelor’s degree in kinesiology from Maryland in 1994 and is currently pursuing his master’s in business administration. “I truly believe that we are moving in the right direction and are committed to winning both on and off the course,” said Rodenhaver. “I want all of our student-athletes to excel both academically and athletically. I want them to be eager to work hard and be the best they can be every day and in every aspect of their lives.” Rodenhaver is a native of Odessa, Texas. Most of his family, including his wife, Robyn, are graduates of University of Maryland. His father is a member of the National Golf Coach’s Hall of Fame and a former assistant golf coach at Maryland. He and his wife, Robyn, have a son, Austin, and had twins, Gavin and Reese, last Septemnber.

INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS

MEN'S SEASON OUTLOOKTerps ready to make another run at NCAAs. In an individual sport, something like team chemistry can quite often be overstated. But head coach Tom Hanna says that’s not the case with the 2004-05 University of Maryland men’s golf team. In helping, pushing and supporting each other, Hanna feels this year’s Terps are better than the sum of their individual parts. “This team has worked harder, there’s better team chemistry, than I’ve had in the past couple years,” said Hanna, now in the midst of his 14th season at his alma mater. “That was obvious the way they performed in the fall. We overachieved, I don’t think there’s any question about that. “We’re not overly talented, but the players are working very hard, and the hard work has paid off for this team.” Hanna credits the leadership from some experienced players, who are making important contributions on the course as players, but also as role models for the younger players. Senior Bobby MacWhinnie and junior John Eades have set the tone for the Terps posting one first- and two second-place team finishes in Fall 2004. “Bobby is probably the worker on the team right now,” said Hanna. “He’s a senior captain and shows great leadership ability. If I had 10 guys like him, we’d be national champions.” MacWhinnie finished third on the team in scoring average a year ago at 75.9, and had a pair of top-20 finishes. He’s off to a strong start in the fall, with three of his 13 fall rounds being under-par. Eades leads the Terps in scoring average after five fall events, posting a 72.2 average. He has a pair of top-10 individual finishes and has been among the top 20 in three events. “John is the steady one on the team, he’s the rock,” said Hanna. “He’s not doing anything spectacular, but if you look at his scores, he hasn’t had any bad rounds and he’s had a couple good ones. He’s solid and very steady right now.” Another player Hanna has mentioned as a hard worker is sophomore Tyler Witman, who won the individual title in leading the Terrapins to the team title at The McLaughlin tournament held at Bethpage (N.Y.) State Park in the fall.

“Tyler has done extremely well, he’s been a pleasant surprise,” said Hanna. “He’s down (at the practice range) a lot on his own. It just goes to show you that hard work pays off.” Sophomore Matt Schall was also in the lineup in all five fall events for the Terrapins, posting a second-place finish at the McLaughlin and having his score count toward the team score in 11 of 13 rounds. He averaged 76.7 in a pair of late spring events last season and has improved that mark to 73.6 in the fall. Rounding out the lineup in the fall was freshman J.J. Occi, a hometown product from Clarkesville, Md. Occi had two top-20 finishes individually, including a tie for third individually at The McLaughlin. “That fifth spot is probably the most important spot on the team,” said Hanna. “We have some guys jockeying for position for that fifth spot… I expect everybody to push those guys.” Pushing for spots in the lineup are sophomore Hunter Bendall, who played well in his native Richmond area during summer events, sophomore Skip Clasper and freshmen Adam Cohn and Tom Guillebeau. “We’re young with one senior and one junior, four sophomores and three freshmen,” said Hanna. “The future is looking awfully good.” Hanna is hoping the future holds a fourth straight appearance in an NCAA Regional Tournament. The Terrapins have been in four regionals in the last six years and five in Hanna’s previous 13 seasons. “Our main goal is to make the NCAAs,” said Hanna. “We have to take the district tournaments one at a time and go in with a game plan. The NCAA selection is based on head-to-head competition… If we get to the regionals and get these kids another year under their belt of getting to the NCAAs, that will really help.”

Head Coach: Tom Hanna (14th Year/Maryland ‘71)* - Denotes years on varsity at Maryland

The obstacles that Maryland men’s golf head coach Tom Hanna faced the past few seasons have become strong points as he looks to lead the Terps back amongst the nation’s elite. In his 14th season at the helm of the Maryland program, Hanna has high expectations for a team which is coming off a string of three straight appearances in the NCAA Regionals. Through more than 25 years of experience in the golf business as a competitor and a coach,

Hanna has built himself a strong reputation for building a relatively unknown program into a highly competitive team on the national scene. His expertise has translated into some of the most talented programs in Maryland men’s golf history, a trend he seeks to continue during the 2004-05 campaign and beyond. Originally from Lock Haven, Pa., Hanna is no stranger to success in the golf world. During his collegiate playing career with the Terps from 1968-1971, Hanna competed in three consecutive NCAA Tournaments. After graduation, he moved on to compete on the Professional Golf Association (PGA) Tour. After a brief stint in the PGA, Hanna continued to rack up state and local titles in the Philadelphia section of the PGA. Hanna remained on the East Coast, gaining extensive experience as a head professional at several prestigious country clubs. He spent three years at Lock Haven Country Club in his hometown, before taking the head professional job at Centre Hills Country Club in nearby State College, Pa., from 1977-84. From

1985-90, Hanna was the director of golf at the Harbour Towne Golf Course in St. Michaels, Md. In 1991, he returned to his alma mater to take over the reins of the Maryland men’s golf program. The golf program has steadily improved under the supervision of Hanna, exemplified by his 1994 ACC Coach of the Year award after the Terps finished fifth at the ACC Championships, which marked the team’s highest finish in 16 years. In 1999, he guided the Terps to their second NCAA East Regional and consistent top-30 national rankings. The Terps reached the NCAA Central Regional in 2002 and have appeared in the last two NCAA East Regional Tournaments, giving Maryland a string of four NCAA berths in the last six seasons and five in Hanna’s 14 years at his alma mater.Hanna also served as the director of the Maryland golf course, a job in which he exerted just as much energy as with the golf team. Hanna helped transform the Maryland golf course into one of the nicest, cleanest, and most popular courses in the area that is used on an annual basis to host numerous local high school golf championships. He recently relinquished his course director duties, but remains heavily involved in ensuring that it remains one of the top courses in the area. Hanna also directs several summer golf camps at the University of Maryland. Hanna graduated from the University of Maryland in 1971 and received his bachelor’s degree in physical education. Hanna and his wife, Kathy, have three children: Betsi, Thomas III, and Jessica.

“STRIVE FOR CLARITY, BUT ACCEPTAND UNDERSTAND AMBIGUITY."

That phrase captures one way in which an educated person approaches the world and its challenges. Students who graduate from the University of Maryland have been exposed to the tools that allow

them to put that perspective to work. Imparting such a perspective may be an ambitious project for undergraduate education, but to aim for anything less would be unworthy of a great university’s goals

for its students. Thirteen years ago, Promises to Keep, a plan for undergraduate education at Maryland, articulated those goals so eloquently we repeat them here.

Undergraduate education at Maryland “aims to provide students with a sense of identity and purpose, a concern for others, a sense of responsibility for the quality of life around them, a continuing eagerness for

knowledge and understanding, and a foundation for a lifetime of personal enrichment.”

As we learn with and from one another, we try to “develop human values,” “celebrate tolerance and fairness,” “contribute to the social conscience,” “monitor and assess private and collective assumptions,” and “recognize the glory, tragedy and humor of the human condition.”

Your years at the University of Maryland can provide you with all the tools you need to accomplish these goals. Students here are “educated to be able to read with perception and pleasure, write and speak with clarity and

verve, handle numbers and computation proficiently, reason mathematically, generate clear questions and find probable arguments, reach substantiated conclusions and accept ambiguity.”

AND WE ALSO HOPE YOU ENJOY THE JOURNEY.

21

The CampusBy virtually every measure of quality, the University of Maryland has gained

national recognition as one of the fastest-rising comprehensive research institutions in the country. The momentum of recent years has poised the university to move it into the top ranks of higher education and take leadership in shaping the research university of the 21st century.

The university has enjoyed a decade of momentum in all of the areas that affect quality. The average high school GPA of entering students has zoomed from 3.01 to nearly 3.90, and the average SATs are now more than 1270. The student body is a model of diversity, with minorities making up more than 32 percent of all students, and at least one graduate and undergraduate student from every state in the nation.

The university has 67 graduate and undergraduate programs ranked in the Top 25 by U.S. News and World Report, up from just one program in 1991.

Sponsored research and outreach has nearly tripled in the same 10-year period, exceeding $350 million last year. Private giving also has increased, and the university last year concluded its first campaign by topping its $350 million goal by more than $100 million. Alumni Association membership has been growing at an average rate of 10 percent a year since 1992.

One of the largest research universities in the United States, Fall 2002 enrollment was 25,240 undergraduate and 9,561 graduate students. There are 94 undergraduate programs, 89 master’s programs, 70 doctoral programs and one first professional degree program. More than 100 centers and institutes are engaged in research and outreach.

Faculty at the University of Maryland, in all fields of knowledge, are engaged at the highest levels of national and international concern. The university’s location near the center of federal policy-making and international political and economic activity enables it to play an active role in research and analysis of public policy.

Maryland is one of 30 public universities in the prestigious 63-member Association of American Universities and the only public institution in the Maryland-D.C. area with membership in the nation’s most distinguished honor society, Phi Beta Kappa.

THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLANDDR. C.D. MOTEUniversity PresidentCalifornia ‘59Seventh Year

As the 19th president of the University of Maryland, C. D. “Dan” Mote Jr. has presided since 1998 over a university that is claiming a well-earned position in the top echelon of research universities in the nation. An internationally-respected researcher

and member of the National Academy of Engineering, Dr. Mote is Glenn L. Martin Institute Professor of Engineering. He serves on the Technology Council of Maryland, is co-chair of the Potomac Conference of the Greater Washington Board of Trade and heads its Technology Transfer Committee.

Under President Mote’s leadership, Maryland has received national and international notice for innovative undergraduate education opportunities, high-impact research and academic programs, outstanding performing arts, and athletes and athletic teams competitive with the best in the nation.

“The future of the state depends on this university,” says Mote. “It is the State of Maryland’s most important asset.” As president, Dan Mote has been determined to make that asset even greater by nourishing a culture of excellence and civility across the campus, strengthening the university’s connections with its various stakeholders, building partnerships with State and national corporations and federal agencies and achieving distinction as an institution where discovery takes place every day and everywhere. The university’s progress can be seen in all areas, from its nationally-ranked programs to its success in building external partnerships to its state-of-the-art facilities.

Quality ProgramsOver the past decade, the quality of Maryland’s programs and reputation has

climbed steadily. In 2003, the University of Maryland moved up to 17th place among public universities in U.S. News & World Report rankings, up from 30th in 1998. We currently have 44 graduate and undergraduate programs and units ranked in the top 15 by U.S. News & World Report, up from 5 in 1995.

While our academic successes have spread across the board, the university has emerged as a true powerhouse in business, computer science, earth sciences, engineering, environmental policy, education and journalism. Maryland is one of only 10 public and private universities that have their programs in computer science, mathematics, physics, and engineering each ranked in the top 20. Our College of Education is ranked in the top 20 nationally and 5 of its programs are in the top 10.

Athletic ExcellenceMote sees athletics as an integral part of the university experience. Indeed

athletic success more often than not reflects academic success, he notes. For example, all four of the teams that played in the 2002 NCAA basketball Final Four, including Maryland, are members of the prestigious Association of American Universities, the organization that comprises the leading research and academic universities in North America. “That’s no accident,” Mote says. “Institutions that are committed to excellence tend to be excellent in every endeavor. Our successes in football, basketball, lacrosse and other sports reflects our culture of quality as much as our successes in engineering, business, education and journalism.”

Faculty Stature

Dr. Mote believes a university’s quality is built by its faculty, and under his leadership, Maryland continues to attract the best faculty available. The university recruited a Nobel Laureate in Physics in 2001 and three more Pulitzer Prize winners (to join three already on the faculty). More than 30 of our faculty are members of the national academies, the highest professional recognition attainable.

DID YOU KNOW?In 1991, Maryland had one program listed among Top 25 entrants in the U.S. News & World Report Rankings. Maryland now has 67 programs ranked among the nation’s elite, and the university is ranked 18th nationally among public universities.

A report card published in Technology Review rated the top U.S. universities in their quest for intellectual property, commercial partners and profits. Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland (28th) were the Mid-Atlantic (Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, District of Columbia) schools to make the “campus patenting” top 50 list.

Black Issues In Higher Education ranked the university fourth nationally in bachelor’s degrees earned by African-American students at traditionally white schools. Maryland ranks first in African-American undergraduate degrees in social sciences and history.

The Wall Street Journal ranked the Robert H. Smith School of Business No. 16 among the world’s business schools. Maryland is the top-ranked school in the Mid-Atlantic region (Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia). The Financial Times of London ranked the Robert H. Smith School of Business No. 8 in information technology, No. 6 in faculty research and No. 7 in entrepreneurship.

In the only undergraduate program rankings released by U.S. News & World Report–business and engineering–both the Robert H. Smith School of Business (No. 18) and A. James Clark School of Engineering (No. 24) were ranked among the top 25. The university also ranked in the top 25 for its learning communities (3rd), first-year experience (12th) and service learning programs (24th).

Deborah A. Yow is in the 11th year of her outstanding tenure as director of athletics at the University of Maryland, a tenure that has seen unprecedented success and achievement in Maryland athletics. Each year has brought about continued improvement and accomplishment in Terrapin athletics. In Yow’s 10 years at Maryland, the Terrapins have won a remarkable nine NCAA national championships and graduated its student athletes at an enviable rate as Maryland

athletics has soared to sustained new heights.The comprehensive success of Terrapin athletics under Debbie Yow’s leadership

is a clear and compelling testimony of her values of excellence, teamwork and accountability.

Likewise, her election to the presidency of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics four years ago is an indication of the wide respect with which she is regarded among its 6,100 members representing 1,600 colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. She was singled out by Street and Smith’s Sports Business Journal as one of the leading administrators in the U.S. and she received the Carl Maddox Sport Management Award presented by the United States Sports Academy for excellence in athletics administration. Yow was selected to serve on the U.S. Department of Education’s Commission on Opportunities in Athletics to review the status of Federal Title IX regulations. She has served as the chair of the Atlantic Coast Conference Committee on Television for 2003 through 2004. The committee, comprised of the ACC’s athletics directors, is charged with overseeing the league’s TV contracts and dealing with issues related to television. Yow led the committee during the recent, very successful renegotiation of comprehensive, multiyear ACC football and basketball contracts with ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and syndication entities. Additionally, she has represented intercollegiate athletics with presentations in a number of prominent settings such as the Harvard University School of Law conference on “Shaping the Future of Collegiate Athletics” and the Street and Smith’s Sports Business Journal “National Forum on the Direction of

Intercollegiate Athletics.” She was also recently inducted into the State of Maryland Women’s Hall of Fame.

Yow, who has served on the NCAA Management Council and the NCAA Division I Budget Committee, is a strong and steady voice on behalf of intercollegiate athletics in America.

Since taking over as AD at Maryland in 1994, she and her staff have:• Transformed Terrapin athletics into a responsive, goal-oriented

organization.• Balanced all 10 of the department’s annual budgets (the first balanced

budgets in the 10 years prior to her arrival). The budget has now reached $43 million annually and the multi-million dollar accumulated operating debt which her administration inherited has been eradicated.

• Greatly enhanced the academic support services provided for student-athletes, with an enviable exhausted eligibility graduation rate of approximately 85 percent for student athletes at Maryland.

• Led the Terrapins to a national all-sports ranking in the upper 10 percent of all NCAA Division I institutions.

• Significantly expanded marketing and fund-raising efforts on behalf of Terrapin athletics. As a result, private gifts to athletics have increased over 350 percent and corporate sponsorship revenues have increased by over 300 percent during her tenure at Maryland.

• Continued to dramatically improve venues and facilities for the department’s 27 teams. The Comcast Center for men’s and women’s basketball and other sports that use the facility is a prime example of the dramatic upgrade of athletic facilities.

• Implemented a strategic management model.• Developed a comprehensive Internet strategy with management, marketing

and fund-raising applications.• Significantly improved customer care in every area of Maryland athletics.

The most recent achievements of Maryland athletics are exceptional:• Maryland was selected by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Top 20

athletic programs in the nation (for overall quality and competitive excellence).• In men’s basketball, the Terps won the Atlantic Coast Conference title over Duke in the championship game in 2004 and won the NCAA National Championship in 2002. Under Coach Gary Williams, the men’s basketball team has appeared in the last 11 consecutive NCAA Tournaments, one of only five programs to do so.• Women’s basketball also won its way to the NCAA Tournament in 2004, advancing to the Second Round.• In football , the Terps won the 2001 Atlantic Coast Conference championship and played in the 2002 Orange Bowl, and followed with an 11-win season and a 30-3 victory over the University of Tennessee in the Peach Bowl, again followed by a 10-win season and a 41-7 win over West Virginia in the Gator Bowl on New Year’s Day 2004.

Additionally, Maryland is one of only six universities to win a National Championship in both basketball and football (UCLA, Michigan, Michigan State, Syracuse, Ohio State and Maryland).

• Maryland was selected as the sixth-finest athletic program in the nation by the Laboratory for the Study of Intercollegiate Athletics, based on criteria such as graduation rates, financial efficiency, equity effectiveness and competitive excellence.

• Hired the Associated Press National Coach of the Year, Brenda Frese, as the new women’s basketball coach. In her second season at the helm, her team drew 13,250 to a regular-season game and advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

• Hired Dave Cottle, the third-winningest active men’s lacrosse coach in the U.S., who guided his team to the NCAA Final Four in his second year.

• Field Hockey played for the National Championship in 2001 and continues to be a Final Four team.

• Women’s Lacrosse has continued its winning ways with seven national championships from 1995-2001, with additional Final Four appearances.

• Football facilities have been significantly enhanced with team house, stadium and practice field upgrades.

• The Terrapins moved into the new $125 million Comcast Center, housing athletic department offices and seating for 18,000 fans for basketball and other events.

• In 2003-04, 12 Maryland teams competed in NCAA postseason play, which earned Maryland a place in the Top 25 national rankings in the USSA Directors’ Cup for competitive excellence.

• The productivity, morale, and the competitive and academic achievement of Terrapin athletics are exceptional and continue to gain momentum.

Regarding the many achievements of Terrapin athletics over the past 10 years, Yow says, “We are pleased, but we are not satisfied… our vision is to be one of the Top 5 programs in the nation consistently… we see no reason to settle for less.”

Yow is known for her goal-oriented and proactive management style. She consistently inspires and challenges those around her to “raise our sights and sharpen our tools… to work hard and smart… to recognize that our only limitations are those that we place upon ourselves.”

As a manager and a leader, she clearly models these principles. She is the only known current AD in NCAA Division I who has hired both the National Coach of the Year in football (while at Maryland) and the National Coach of the Year in men’s basketball (while at Saint Louis University). Yow is known as “a coach’s AD,” while also being highly organized and a strategic and proactive leader and administrator. Quite simply, Debbie Yow personifies the relational and management dynamics that are necessary to be an excellent administrator.

A successful former coach at the University of Kentucky and University of Florida, she moved into athletics administration at the University of Florida and the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, followed by a successful tenure as AD at Saint Louis University.

She has authored numerous articles and books on athletics management and human behavior, and is a respected leader in intercollegiate athletics in the United States.

Reflecting on the status of the Terrapin men’s basketball program, Maryland’s Director of Athletics points out, “Our men’s basketball team has become one of America’s premier collegiate programs under the leadership of Coach Gary Williams and his staff. We are one of only five institutions to advance to the NCAA postseason tournament in each of the last 11 years, and

the only team in the ACC to do so.” Summing up the entire athletics program, our athletics director recently stated,

“We have the finest student-athletes, coaches, support staff and administrative team in America. It is because of their courage, hard work and cooperative spirit that we now have a strong, viable athletic program. I am immensely proud of each of them. I am equally proud of our Terrapin fans who buy tickets, our Terrapin Club members who faithfully support the Maryland athletic program with their donations for scholarships, and the M Club members who serve and give liberally. We are also blessed with a terrific President, Dr. Dan Mote, who has fostered a mindset of excellence across our institution. He is a strong and balanced advocate for what he calls“‘the three A’s of the University ——Academics, the Arts and Athletics’. We have a great Terrapin family. That’s the foundation for all of our success… and the basis for our bright future. It’s a great time to be a Terp.”

ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT

The University of Maryland is committed to providing the highest quality education to all of its students. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics strives to provide student-athletes excellent opportunities to participate in an intercollegiate athletics program of the highest quality, with the result that their athletics participation becomes an integral and valued component of their total educational experience at the university.

Terrapin student-athletes will find that the same hard work and discipline that has earned them success in athletics competition is also required in the classroom. Balancing the significant time demands and responsibilities required to be a successful student-athlete at the highest collegiate level is no small task. Therefore, as a result of their commitment to representing the university through athletics, Terrapin student-athletes are able to utilize support programs designed to meet their specific needs.

Led by assistant athletics director Anton Goff, the mission of the Academic Support and Career Development Unit (ASCDU) is to provide quality developmental programs and need-based services that will enhance academic progress, facilitate career development, and encourage the psychosocial growth of all UM student-athletes. Don Pearman (above right) and Kathy Fueston (right) work with the women's and men's golf teams, respectively.

The Gossett Academic Support and Career Development Center for Terrapin student-athletes, named for long-time Terp supporters Barry and Mary Gossett, is located in the Comcast Center. It features a study center that includes 25 desktop computers, a tutoring center, a classroom, a CHAMPS/Life Skills resource room and individual offices for six professional academic counselors, a director of ILP programs, an assistant program coordinator and two graduate assistants. In addition, a new academic wing was added to the Gossett football team house last Fall. It features offices for two counselors, three learning specialist, and a graduate assistant; as well as a quiet study area, 29-desk computer lab, classroom, tutor rooms and classroom/lab for the individualized learning program.

Academic courses, programs and services offered by ASCDU include the following:

• Student-athlete orientation• Academic counseling• NCAA academic eligibility monitoring• Academic enrichment and career development presentations and workshops• Accredited tutorial support• Individualized learning program• EDCP 108-K (College learning strategies and skills)• EDCP 108-M (Math learning strategies and skills)• UNIV 100 (First-year transitions to the university)

Maryland GameplanThe Maryland Gameplan is intended to assist

graduating Terrapin student-athletes as they begin the job search process. It is distributed to more than 500 corporations and businesses across the country, in addition to being featured on the M Club website. Prospective employers are introduced to our graduating student-athletes with resume information relative to academic, career and personal achievements. The Maryland Gameplan directory is produced annually in collaboration with the M Club.

Career Networking NightBecause career development is an ongoing process, ASCDU provides a variety of

programs for student-athletes throughout the year. Professional assistance with resume- writing, interviewing skills, graduate school search and job search is readily available to all student-athletes. During the spring semester ASCDU hosts the Career Networking Night, where student-athletes can learn about career interests and career planning. Unlike typical “job fairs,” the purpose of this program is to allow student-athletes to explore multiple career opportunities by speaking directly to individuals in their chosen areas of interest. Employers at the Career Networking Night recognize the marketable qualities student-athletes have gained through athletic participation. Student-athletes learn about opportunities for internships and full-time jobs.

Student-Athlete Advisory Council

The Student-Athlete Advisory Council (S.A.A.C.) plays an important role in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. It consists of two representatives from each varsity sport and meets on a regular basis with representatives from the athletic administration. The S.A.A.C. mission is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by developing leadership skills, promoting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student-athlete image on the Maryland campus, local area and nationally.

CHAMPS/Life Skills ProgramsASCDU houses the NCAA’s (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Challenging

Athletes’ Minds for Personal Success (C.H.A.M.P.S.) Life Skills Program. The ASCDU staff, in collaboration with various other Department of Intercollegiate Athletics’ units and campus resources, strives to provide a systematic personal development program designed to reach each student-athlete based on his or her individual needs. The focus of the program is on the individual academically, athletically and emotionally, and on the changing needs and skills of that individual in the years during college and after graduation. The menu of presentations, workshops and seminars is a comprehensive and balanced system of “life learning” programs promoted for use by each varsity sport team.

Highlights of the CHAMPS/Life Skills Programs:• Support efforts of every student-athlete toward intellectual development and graduation• Use athletics as preparation for success in life• Meet the changing needs of student-athletes• Promote respect for diversity among student-athletes• Enhance interpersonal relationships in the lives of student-athletes• Assist student-athletes in building positive self-esteem• Enable student-athletes to make meaningful contributions to their communities• Promote ownership by the student-athletes of their academic, athletic, personal and social

responsibilities• Enhance partnerships between the NCAA, member institutions and their communities for

the purpose of education• Encourage the development of leadership skills

Academic Support For Returning Athletes Program

The Academic Support for Returning Athletes Program was created in 1986 to support the academic efforts of former varsity student-athletes at the University of Maryland, College Park. In 1989, ASRAP was assigned by the President’s Office to the Academic Achievements Program and enrolled 40 students that year. As a member of the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS), the University of Maryland is committed to assisting its former athletes with degree completion. A key component of the program is community outreach. Each returning student completes a “workship” that allows the cost of tuition and fees to be exchanged for community services with youth. In 2002, ASRAP moved into the ASCDU.
