courage.

Professionally, Dr. Williams played 12 years

SEASON PREVIEW / SOFTBALL

knowing the game in and out is a great thing

for our younger players to see. Offensively she

is going to do some great things this season,

keep an eye on her.”

Those two are not the only players to keep an

eye on this upcoming season. With most of

the team returning from last year, and the

addition of solid newcomers, the Knights are

expected to shine in 2011. The team will consist

of seniors Alana Aweau, and Ashley Lokey,

juniors Sierrah Garcia, Melissa Coe and new-

comer Genna Allen, sophomores Jayme Stew-

art, Alyssa Hickey, Kimberly Dauer, Julie Martin,

Nicole Smith, Andrea Hanchey, and freshmen

Lauren Stover, Katie Brooks, Elyse Cordova,

and Lauren Clark-Lewis. The new additions

provide speed, power, and game knowledge

to an already strong lineup.

Head Coach Rachel Sherman is confident in

her new team, and expects great things from

all of her players. “Expect Alana to have an

amazing season. She came back with the right

mind set and will really turn some heads this

year. I also expect newcomer Genna Allen to

lead the team, especially on defense. She has

great range and feel for the game and her

teammates especially look to her on defense.

We are also excited to have Jayme Stewart

back and healthy behind the plate. She con-

trols the game very well and our pitchers love

throwing to her. We have also added another

pitcher to our staff that compliments Sierrah

and Kim very well,” exclaimed Coach Sherman.

After all of the hard work both the coaches

and players have put in during the off-season

and fall ball, the team is now ready for action.

They have poured their heart and soul into

hours of practice, perfecting their game in

every aspect. Although two weeks is not much

time to ready for a full season, the Urban

SEASON PREVIEW / SOFTBALL

As winter fades away and the days start to

warm up, the Academy of Art University wom-

en’s softball team feels the anxiety as their sea-

son sits just around the corner. As they bring

out the new cleats, balls, and bats, excitement

for the new season is on the rise. Now just two

weeks away, the Urban Knights are gearing up

for the start of their 2011 campaign. As they

enter just their third season in existence, they

are more talented and prepared than ever

before.

Head Coach Rachel Sherman returns for her

third season heading the Urban Knights, and

has made several changes in the off-season

preparing for this year. “The team has worked

really hard in the off-season to get stronger,

faster, and really focused on the fundamentals,

executing every situation and loving the pres-

sure situation,” exclaimed Coach Sherman. “I

am very excited for the season and very confi-

dent that we will have an even better season

then we did last year.”

After losing just one senior in 2010, the Knights

are returning 10 players, and have welcomed

five new faces to the roster. In addition to the

already sound defense, the Knights add depth

to the roster, as well as new talent from each

of the newcomers.

Now one step closer to becoming complete

NCAA members, ART U faces new challenges

in their schedule on top of the already com-

petitive PacWest Conference campaign. The

Urban Knights begin their 2011 season by host-

ing Cal State Stanislaus in a single game on

February 2nd. The women then battle Cal

State East Bay before heading to Las Vegas for

the tough Montana State Billings Tournament

starting on February 11th. The MSU Billings

tourney hosts several Division II teams from

across the country. ART U will play five games

in three days in the Desert Classic.

When Academy of Art University returns, they

have a series of challenging Division II CCAA

members to face. They begin with a home

game against CSU Monterey Bay before they

head up to Arcata, CA to play Humboldt State.

Upon their return home from the HSU series,

ART U will host Sonoma State in their last dou-

bleheader before conference play begins.

The Urban Knights kick off conference play

with a game against Dominican University on

March 5th. The Knights will have five more

non-conference games throughout their sea-

son, with the remaining games coming

against all PacWest teams. The women host a

challenging home-stand from March 21st

through the 28th in which they will face the

PacWest Hawaiian teams, including Hawaii

Pacific University, the 2010 Division II

Champions.

On April 9th and 10th, ART U heads to St.

George, UT for one of their most challenging

series of their 2011 season when they play

Dixie State. “I think our most difficult series will

be Dixie State,” said Coach Sherman. “I think

they are a very well rounded program, speed,

power, pitching; very similar to us, so it will be

a great game with a lot of exciting moments.”

After this series, the women return for their

last home-stand of the season where they

host Menlo College, Notre Dame de Namur,

and San Francisco State respectively.

Academy of Art will conclude their season

with a very challenging four game series

against Grand Canyon University on April 30th

and May 1st.

Although the Urban Knights will have a chal-

lenging year ahead of them in terms of sched-

ule, they seem very eager to get things started,

and are confident in the team they have

become. Head Coach Rachel Sherman com-

ments, “I am looking forward to every pitch of

every inning in every game, but if I had to pick

one series I’m most excited about I would have

to say our HPU series. The chance to beat the

defending National Champions is something

anyone can get excited about. We played

them very tough last year and I expect even

more this year with the depth, speed and

power to our lineup.”

The Urban Knights have already begun to

impress their competitors. Last season the

women finished with a 29-23-1 overall record,

nearly doubling their wins from the previous

year. The team has grown tremendously and

they continue to get stronger each year.

ART U is returning their key pitcher, junior Sier-

rah Garcia, who has been outstanding for her

team. Last season, Garcia posted a 19-9 record

with a 2.47 earned run average. In 102 innings

pitches, she gave up 54 walks, while recording

200 strikeouts to lead the PacWest. Garcia also

managed to keep her opponents to a .234 bat-

ting average. “Sierrah has great mechanics and

will lead the staff without a doubt. She has

been working a lot on her mental game and

we have already seen some huge improve-

ments that are making her that much stronger,”

said Coach Sherman.

The Knights’ big slugger, Alana Aweau, returns

for her senior year with more determination to

succeed than ever. In 2010, she had a .354 bat-

ting average with 56 hits including 12 doubles,

11 home runs (1st on the team, 2nd in the Pac-

West), 41 runs batted in, and an impressive

.639 slugging percentage. “Alana is determined

to have a great senior year,” added Sherman.

“Her work ethic this off-season and attention to

Knights softball team is confident that they

are prepared and ready to go out and com-

pete. The Academy of Art University women

will come out attacking, and are ready to

prove to their opponents that they are here to

stay in 2011.

ACADEMY OF ART UNIVERSITY / HISTORY + MISSION

HISTORY

The Academy of Art University was established in San Francisco in

1929 by Richard S. Stephens, a fine art painter who had accepted

the position of Creative Director for Sunset Magazine. Assisted by his wife,

Mrs. Clara Stephens, he opened the new school in a rented loft at 215

Kearny Street to teach advertising art. In a few years, a distinguished fac-

ulty of practicing art and design professionals was assembled and the

school’s philosophy was formulated: hire established professionals to

teach future professionals. In 1933 the curriculum was expanded to

include Fashion Illustration, and in 1936 a Fine Art Department was added.

In 1951, after graduating from Stanford University, Dr. Richard A.

Stephens took over the Presidency from his parents. His vision led to the

expansion of the Academy from an enrollment of fifty students in two

rented loft spaces to a 5,200 student body, with continued expansion of

department majors available. In 1966 the school was incorporated and

granted authority to offer a Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Art by the Bureau

for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education of the State of

California. The graduate program was inaugurated in 1977 and approved

by 1983.

Dr. Elisa Stephens, the granddaughter of the school’s founder, suc-

ceeded her father as President of the Academy of Art University in 1992.

Dr. Stephens has been committed to expanding the Academy’s curricu-

lum to stay current with new technologies and industry trends, as well as

making state-of-the art facilities and resources available to Academy stu-

dents. In 2004, the name of the school was changed from Academy of Art

College to Academy of Art University in recognition of its depth, scope

and quality.

Today the University has nearly 16,000 students, making it the

largest private school of art and design in the country. Students now

have the opportunity to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Arts,

Associate of Arts, Master of Fine Arts, Master of Arts, Master of Architecture,

Certificate Programs or Continuing Art Education courses, with over 30

areas of academic emphasis.

ties that are served;
