head COaCh sue PaRks

9th Year at eMU - eastern Michigan ‘80

head coach

sUe Parks

A familiar face returned to direct the Eastern Michigan University women’s track and field and cross country programs in 2006.

Sue Parks, a former EMU track great, a member of the EMU Ath-letic Hall of Fame and the daugh-ter of legendary men’s track coach Bob Parks, was named the head coach for the women’s track and field and women’s cross country teams by then-EMU Athletics Director Derrick Gragg on July 27, 2006.

“We are very excited to have someone with the outstanding track background of Sue Parks join our staff as the head women’s track and field and cross country coach,” Gragg said, when naming Parks. “Sue has been a champion, both as a collegiate runner and as a coach, on the track and field and cross country national level. She has developed top programs at every stage of her coaching career, and we are confident that her coaching success will con-tinue here at Eastern Michigan

University.”In 2011, Parks and the Eagles

captured the MAC Indoor Track Championship, as well as being named the Coach of the Year for the indoor season. It was her ninth-career Coach of the Year award after taking eight at Ball State.

Currently, Parks serves as an at-large representative of the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Cross Country Coaches Association Executive Committee, which is in charge of all NCAA cross country propos-als.

Prior to returning to EMU as the head coach of the women’s track program, Parks enjoyed tremen-dous success in a 12-year tenure at Ball State from 1994-2006,

winning eight Mid-American Conference titles and finishing runner-up 10 times in track and cross country. She was named MAC Women’s Coach of the Year a total of eight times, four for indoor track (1996,1998,2001), four for outdoor track (1996, 1998, 2000, 2001) and one for cross country (2003). In addition, she was selected as an NCAA Re-gional Coach of the Year in indoor and outdoor track in 1998. Her 2002 cross country team became just the third MAC team to ever qualify for the NCAA Champion-ship when it accomplished the feat in 2002.

From 1990-94 she was an as-sistant cross country and track coach for both the men’s and women’s programs at the Univer-

77

head COaCh sue PaRks

sity of Arizona. Her UA wom-en’s cross country squads placed 11th, 14th, and 12th

at the NCAA Championship in 1991, 1992 and 1993, respec-tively. Her 1993 cross country team won the NCAA District 8 championship. She was also named NCAA District 8 Coach of the Year after the 1993 cross country season. During her tenure at Ari-zona she coached seven All-Americans in women’s cross country and track, including the 1994 5,000-meter cham-pion in the NCAA indoor track championship.

Before heading to Arizona, Parks was the head women’s cross country coach and as-sistant women’s track coach at Michigan State Univer-sity from 1988-90. She was graduate assistant coach for

the EMU men’s track team from 1987-88.

From 1984-87, she was the wom-en’s head cross country coach and women’s assistant track coach at the University of Michigan. She coached eight All-Americans in cross country and was selected as Big Ten Conference Women’s Cross Country Coach of the Year in 1986. Her other coaching stints include serving as the head women’s track coach at Ann Arbor Gabriel Rich-ard in 1982 and the head women’s cross country coach at Ann Arbor Huron High School from 1979-83.

Parks is certainly no stranger to EMU and the Ypsilanti area. She was raised in Ypsilanti and attend-ed Ypsilanti High School where she was an outstanding cross country and track competitor. She was a Michigan high school champion

and former record holder in the 800 meters and also competed for the United States in the Pan American Games.

Parks went on to graduate from EMU with a bachelor’s degree in 1980 and a master’s degree in 1988. While an undergraduate, Parks was a MAC Cross Country Invitational champion in 1976, 1977 and 1978 and was also an Olympic Trials qualifier. She was elected to the EMU Athletic Hall of Fame in 1992. Her father, Bob Parks, was the head men’s track and field and head men’s cross country coach at EMU for 34 years, from 1967-2000.

AssistAnt CoACh Jon DebogoryJonathan Debogory joins the Eastern Michigan track and field coaching staff for his second season as an Eagle in the 2014-15 campaign. He specializes in coaching field events and multi-events.

In the 2013-14 season, Debo-gory saw two of his athletes appear at the NCAA Cham-pionships. Sarah Chauchard took home First Team All-America honors in the pen-tathlon and heptathlon, finishing sixth and fifth at the NCAA Championships,

respectively. Chauchard also broke the EMU pentathlon record and was crowned the MAC champion both the pentathlon and heptathlon. Additionally, Kate Wolanin finished runner-up in the high jump at MAC Indoor and Outdoor Championships, earning a spot at the 2014 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Wolanin tied for 13th in the nation in the event to earn Second Team All-America distinction.

Before coming to EMU, Debogory spent two years at Columbia University. While at Columbia, he coached multiple All-Ivy League selections and regional qualifiers. In 2013, he coached the Ivy League Champion in hammer throw and in 2012 he mentored

the Ivy League Heptagonal Champions as well as the individual champion in the high jump. He also produced All-Ivy League athletes in the discus throw, hammer throw, and pole vault. Prior to his tenure at Columbia, Debogory spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Sacred Heart University, where he was a mem-ber of the 2011 Northeast Conference Outdoor Coaching Staff of the Year. Under his tutelage were numerous regional qualifiers, conference and school record holders, NEC and New England champions, All-New England and All-NEC recipients, and a USA Junior qualifier. His All-NEC athletes include athletes in shot put, weight throw, hammer throw, discus throw, javelin, high jump, long jump, pole vault, 110-meter hurdles, 60-meter hurdles, and 400-meter hurdles. His women’s hammer throw athlete won the NEC Championship title as well as New England Championship title and the NEC record in 2011.

Before his stint at Sacred Heart, Debogory was an assistant coach at Campbell University, where he coached the multi-event ath-letes, high jumpers, pole vaulters, and throwers. Debogory’s first year of coaching was spent at Lynchburg Col-lege, during which time he coached a Division III All-American and NCAA qualifiers in the weight throw, long jump, 400-meter hurdles, pole vault, decathlon, and heptathlon.

Debogory earned his Bachelor of Science in 2002 from Liberty University and his Masters of Education from Campbell University in 2007.

AssistAnt CoACh Chris bestChris Best is in his first year as an assistant coach with the women’s track and field team, coaching the sprints, hurdles, and relay teams for the Eagles. Best comes to the Eagles after a season-long stint at Garden City Commu-nity College in Kansas, where he coached sprints, hurdles, jumps, and multi-event ath-letes as an assistant coach. He also served as the primary recruiting coordinator as well as assisted with various administrative duties.

Prior to his work with the Broncbusters, Best was a graduate as-sistant coach at Troy University between 2012-13. In addition to designing training and conditioning plans for the sprints, hurdles, jumps, and multi-event athletes, he also served as the assistant recruiting coordinator. Best started off his coaching career at Iowa Western Community College, serving as an assistant coach from 2011-12, where he worked with the hurdles, pole vault, and

multi-event athletes, as well as served as the head strength and conditioning coach for the track program.

Best adds a successful career as a student-athlete to his coaching experience, as he was a member of the track and field team at Liberty University from 2007-2010. He competed in the sprints on a team that dominated the Big South Conference with champion-ship titles in every one of his seasons. In 2009, he was a member of the winning 4x400m relay team.

Best stayed on with the Flames for an extra year to serve as an intern for the program and taking on administrative and analytical duties while he completed his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiol-ogy.

Since he began coaching, Best has mentored two All-Sun Belt Conference athletes and six NCAA East Region qualifiers at the NCAA Division I level. During his time at the NJCAA level, he saw seven school records broken during the indoor and outdoor sea-sons between his athletes, and 31 student-athletes qualified for national championship competition. Best also recently received his USATF Level 2 coaching certification for sprints, hurdles, and relays, as well as the USTFCCCA Jumps Specialist Certification.

SPRINTS/RELAYSReturning for the Eagles will be the upperclass duo of Aaliyah McKin-ney and Danielle Clark to lead the team in the 60m, 100m, and 200m sprints. McKinney finished runner-up in the 60m at the 2014 MAC Indoor Championships, Feb. 28-March 1 before winning both the 100m and 200m at the 2014 MAC Outdoor Championships, May 15-17. Her mark in the 200m was one of the best in the NCAA East Region, earning her an appearance at the regional meet, May 29-30. Clark also had a strong campaign at the outdoor conference meet, taking fifth in both the 100m and 200m. The pair was also an integral part of the 4x100m and 4x400m relay lineups throughout the 2013-14 season. Rounding out the returning members of the relay teams are Iesha Hardiman and Morgan Yeadon, who also ran both the 4x100m and 4x400m as well as the 400m. Newcomers Jasmine Jones and Chante Roberts also join the sprinters and will look to make an impact immediately.

HURDLESA fair share of Eagles saw time competing in the hurdles last year, with the French pair of Sarah Chauchard and Pauline Chiariglione taking on the bulk of the action as the year progressed. Though Chiariglione has graduated, Chauchard is set to return for the 2014-15 campaign. Tifani Byrd also joins the team as a primary hurdler, donning the Green and White after being named the Ocean County Hurdler of the Year as a senior at Toms River North.

MID-DISTANCEThe Eagles return a primary middle dis-tance athletes from a season ago, with Rebecca Quaintance leading the pack. Quaintance was the team’s primary 800m harrier and made consistent improvement during her sophomore campaign, and could see another ad-dition to the group, as Claire Mesa comes into her freshman campaign after taking seventh in the Illinois I-A State Championship. Returning 400m competitor and relay team member Agata Klimovich is also slated to see time in the 800m after joining the team late last winter.

DISTANCEThe distance group has been led by All-American Victoria Voronko for the past three years, with the senior entering her final season donning the Green and White as the EMU record holder in the mile, 3000m, 3000m steeplechase, and indoor and outdoor 5000m. The two-time MAC MVP will have a pair of athletes that will push the Russian native in her senior campaign, as was proven during the cross country season. Fellow NCAA Cross Country Championship qualifier Sofie Gallein is a seasoned 1500m and 3000m steeplechase athlete, with her name on both the U18 2000m steeplechase and U20 3000m steeplechase Belgian records. With a peronal best of 4:29.08 in the 1500m, Gallein should be a fierce competitor in the event as well as the mile run. Alongside Voronko and Gallein will be Jordann McDermitt, who earned All-MAC Second Team honors in her debut cross country campaign and was an all-state selection in high school in both the 1600m and 3200m.

JUMPSEastern has had strong competitors in the jumps in years past, and will see a few new faces as the primary athletes in the jumps. Sophomore Kristina Coyne is slated to compete in high jump, long jump, and triple jump, while classmate Janina Pollatz is on tap to do long jump for the Green and White. Junior Tericka Threatt will make the move from sprints to jumps, adding the long jump to her events. Byrd should also see action in the long jump and triple jump in addition to her time on the track. In the high jump, SenClair McDonnell will look to compete in her debut campaign, while All-American Kate Wolanin will use her final season of outdoor eligibility to pace the Green and White once the indoor season comes to a close.

PoLE VAULTBoth Ellie Braidic and Natalie Uy return for the 2014-15 campaign to compete in the pole vault for the Eagles. Braidic had an impressive sophomore campaign, becoming just the fifth Eagle to clear the four-meter mark in both indoor and outdoor competition. The Pandora, Ohio native finished fourth at both the indoor and outdoor conference meets and earned a bid to the NCAA East Regional. Uy spent time on both the track and field as a freshman, but broke through as a pole vault mainstay towards the end of the season. At the 2014 MAC Outdoor Championship, Uy found herself on the podium after vaulting just three inches shy of her personal record.

THRoWSThe Eagles will see the return of both Reagan Briggs and Adrienne Waisner in the throws after losing EMU hammer throw record holder Lydia Gomez-Diaz to graduation. Waisner comes into her senior year after a solid junior campaign in the weight throw and hammer throw, and the team will have added depth in events with the addition of Darcie Marion and Megan Pendleton. Pendleton competes in the discus throw, an event in which the squad lacked a specialist last year, and should also add depth in the shot put, while Marion is expected to compete in a variety of throws during her freshman season.

MULTISThough Chauchard was in the primary lineup for hurdles in 2013-14, her true strength lies within the multi events. The senior earned First Team All-American honors in both the pentathlon and heptathlon after win-ning the events at the MAC Championship meets with record-breaking scores. Chauchard shattered the pentathlon record, but has yet to break the heptathlon record held by former NCAA Division I champion Lela V. Nelson. Chauchard could see a variety of athletes compete alongside her in the pentathlon such as Coyne and Uy, but will most likely be joined by Wolanin in the heptathlon in her final season of eligibility.

THIS IS THE MID-AMERICAN CoNFERENCE Providing leadership in education and diversity, the Mid-American Conference moves into its 69th year of service to the student-athlete. Since its inception in 1946, the Mid-American Conference has progressively grown and de-veloped into one of the most aggressive Division I conferences in the country. One of only ten football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) conferences, the MAC named Dr. Jon A. Steinbrecher as its eighth commissioner in March of 2009. The league has grown its commitment to championships by expanding to six its number of neutral site post season events – football (Ford Field, Detroit), men’s and women’s basket-ball (Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland), softball (Firestone Stadium, Akron) and baseball (All Pro Freight Stadium, Avon, Ohio). In addition, the SPIRE Academy (Geneva, Ohio) will also serve as the site for the 2015 MAC men’s swimming & diving championship. In addition to growing its commitment to MAC championships, Steinbrecher has strategically positioned the MAC’s participation in hosting NCAA events and championships. The MAC will serve as the host for the 2015 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Midwest Regional and was re-cently awarded the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships as both events will take place at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The MAC has also hosted both the 2012 and 2014 NCAA Women’s Bowling Championships under his direction. In 2013, the MAC had five programs receive football bowl invitations: Bowling Green (Little Caesars Pizza Bowl), Northern Illinois (San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl), Ball State (GoDaddy Bowl), Buffalo (Famous Idaho Potato Bowl) and Ohio (Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl St. Peters-burg). The MAC had three programs with 10 or more wins (Northern Illinois 12-2; Ball State 10-3; Bowling Green 10-4) which tied for third among FBS conferences (ACC, Big 12 and Conference USA), trailing only the SEC and Pac-12. Last December Northern Illinois quarterback Jordan Lynch finished third overall in the Heis-man Trophy voting, the highest ever finish by a MAC student-athlete. Lynch was invited to the Heisman Trophy Award ceremony in New York City and became only the third MAC student-ath-lete to receive an invitation to the ceremony – Marshall QB Chad Pennington (1999) and Marshall WR Randy Moss (1997). Buffalo Bulls linebacker Khalil Mack was the fifth overall selection by the Oakland Raiders in the 2014 NFL Draft. Mack’s selection was the highest ever for the Buffalo program and the second-highest ever selection for a MAC student-athlete. This marked the second consecutive year for the MAC to have its two highest ever selections in the NFL Draft. In the 2013 NFL Draft, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher was selected as the first overall selection by the Kansas City Chiefs, making Fisher the first-ever football player from the MAC selected first overall in the NFL Draft. In 2012, the MAC witnessed a record setting seven teams receive bowl invitations, including the first ever BCS Bowl invitation with Northern Illinois playing in the Discover Orange Bowl on Jan. 1, 2013. The MAC also had four football programs ranked in the top 25 of national polls – Northern Illinois, Kent State, Toledo and Ohio—as the BCS Standings had two MAC programs in the Top 25 at the end of the regular season with No. 15 Northern Illinois and No. 25 Kent State. The MAC also set a conference record for the most wins against FBS opponents with 16 victo-ries. In the fall of 2013, the MAC announced the creation of newly created bowl games in Boca Ra-ton, Fla., Nassau, Bahamas, Miami Beach, Fla., and Montgomery, Ala. for a six-year period (2014-2019). The creation of the Boca Raton, Bahamas and Miami Beach Bowls is the centerpiece of a joint agreement between several FBS conferences and will be supported by several FBS confer-ences on a six-year rotating basis. The Boca Raton Bowl will be owned and operated by ESPN and will be played at FAU Stadium, an open air stadium which seats nearly 30,000 fans on the campus of Florida Atlantic University. The Bahamas Bowl will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium. The Miami Beach Bowl will be played at Marlins Park. The Camellia Bowl, based in Montgomery, Ala., is owned and oper-ated by ESPN and will be played in the Cramton Bowl, a 25,000 seat stadium. The MAC is also a partner with the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl as a primary partner in 2017 and 2019, and a secondary partner in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2018 bowl seasons. The MAC will play the Mountain West in both the 2017 and 2019 bowl seasons, played at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego. Starting in the 2014 season, the MAC will have a minimum five guaranteed bowl opportu-nities. The MAC has long-term primary contracts with the GoDaddy Bowl (based in Mobile, Ala.) through the 2017 season and Famous Idaho Potato Bowl (based in Boise, Ida.) through the 2019 season. In its partnership with ESPN, the MAC is in the sixth year of its eight-year rights agreement (through 2016-2017 academic years) for football, as well as men’s and women’s basketball. The deal is the most extensive in the history of the conference. The agreement calls for a minimum of 25 events annually to be produced and aired on an ESPN platform including the men’s and women’s basketball championships, a regular-season MAC presence on ESPN, the Marathon MAC Football Championship Game and a minimum of 11 regular-season football games. In men’s basketball, the MAC witnessed the No. 1 seed Western Michigan win its first MAC Men’s Basketball Tournament since 2004. The MAC had five programs invited to postseason tour-naments (NCAA-Western Michigan; NIT-Toledo; CIT-Akron, Eastern Michigan and Ohio). Eastern Michigan advanced to the CIT Second Round, while Ohio advanced to the CIT Quarterfinals. Buf-falo senior forward Javon McCrea was named Associated Press All-American Honorable Men-tion. During the 2013-14 academic year, the University of Akron men’s soccer team won its tenth MAC championship and sixth in the last seven years. The Zips defeated Indiana in the 2013 NCAA first round before falling to Marquette, which snapped a string of five consecutive NCAA Round of 16 appearances. Akron witnessed senior Aodhan Quinn selected as one of 15 semifinalists for the prestigious Hermann Trophy. MAC affiliate member West Virginia had junior Andy Bevin named to the Capital One Academic All-America First Team. The MAC had two student-athletes selected in the first round of the 2013 Major League Soccer Supplemental Draft – No. 3 overall Akron goalkeeper David Meyes (Portland Timbers) and No. 12 overall West Virginia defender Eric Schoenle (Philadelphia Union). In wrestling, the MAC welcomed Missouri, Northern Iowa and Old Dominion as affiliate mem-bers over the last two seasons. Missouri won the 2014 conference tournament title for the second consecutive year. True freshman J’Den Cox of Missouri won the 197 lb. national championship to become the ninth MAC wrestler to win a national championship.

Kent State’s Matthias Tayala became the second MAC track and field student-athlete crowned a national champion this year in the hammer throw during the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field championships. The 2014 track and field season was a his-toric one for the MAC with three national champions across men’s and women’s athletics. Akron’s Shawn Barber was the 2014 NCAA indoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 5.75m, Akron’s Annika Roloff was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 4.40m, while Kent State’s Matthias Tayala was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field hammer throw champion with a distance of 73.57m. Kent State won the program’s sixth consecutive and 20th overall conference title in men’s golf and received its 27th NCAA appearance. Kent State senior Taylor Pendrith became just the second player in program history to represent Kent State in the NCAA finals in each of his four seasons, including this year at Prairie Dunes Country Club in Hutchinson, Kansas. Kent State won its 11th MAC baseball tournament as the No. 3 seed and has won either the regular season or tournament title in 14 of the last 15 seasons. Earlier this summer the MAC witnessed 15 stu-dent-athletes selected in the 2014 Major League Baseball Draft led by Central Michigan starting pitcher Jordan Foley, who became the Chippewas highest draft pick in more than a decade when he was selected in the fifth round by the New York Yankees. Also, Ball State senior outfielder Sean Godfrey (drafted by Atlanta) and Miami senior pitcher Seth Varner (drafted by Cincinnati) were named to the Louisville Slugger All-America Third Team as chosen by Collegiate Baseball News-paper. Women’s athletics continued to shine for the MAC this past year. In women’s basketball, Ak-ron won its first ever MAC tournament championship and a program record 23 wins during the 2013-14 season. A total of five MAC programs were invited to postseason tournaments (NCAA-Akron; WNIT-Ball State, Bowling Green, Central Michigan; WBI-Eastern Michigan). Bowling Green defeated High Point, St. Bonaventure and Michigan in the WNIT before falling to Rutgers in the WNIT Quarterfinals. In women’s soccer, Western Michigan earned the program’s first MAC title in ten years and went on to defeat No. 8 Marquette, 1-0, in the NCAA College Cup First-Round before falling to Notre Dame. In volleyball, Ohio claimed its eighth MAC title and fell to Michigan State in the NCAA First Round. Ohio’s Abby Gilleland and Kelly Lamberti, along with Toledo’s Lauren Rafdal, were named Division I All-American Honorable Mention. In women’s cross country, Miami claimed the MAC title for the third time in program history, while Ohio’s Juli Accurso won her second consecutive Great Lakes Regional and earned All-Amer-ica honors at NCAA Regionals. In field hockey, Miami won the program’s second consecutive conference title, while the RedHawks program won the conference championship in women’s tennis for the second consecutive year and the fourth time in the last six years. Akron won its first ever MAC swimming & diving championship, while Central Michigan won its fifth consecu-tive MAC tournament title in gymnastics. In women’s indoor track and field, Kent State won its fourth conference title in the last five years, while the Golden Flashes won the women’s outdoor track and field championship for the fourth consecutive year. Akron’s Annika Roloff was the 2014 NCAA outdoor track and field pole vault champion clearing 4.40m. In women’s golf, Kent State won its 16th consecutive conference championship. Kent State freshman Wad Phaewchimplee became the second Golden Flash in history to win a NCAA Re-gional and was named All-American Honorable Mention by the Women’s Golf Coaches Associa-tion (WGCA). In softball, the Ohio Bobcats won their first-ever conference tournament champi-onship and advance to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1995. Ball State softball senior left fielder Jennifer Gilbert was named to the 2014 National Fastpitch Coaches Association NCAA Division I All-America Second Team. From two-time Super Bowl quarterback winning Ben Roethlisberger (Miami University), NFL Defensive MVP James Harrison (Kent State University), NFL Pro Bowlers (OT Joe Staley, TE Antonio Gates, WR Antonio Brown), British Open winner Ben Curtis (Kent State University), World Series winning manager Bob Brenly (Ohio University) and Olympic bobsled team member Brock Kre-itzburgh (University of Toledo), the Mid-American Conference continues to excel in producing leaders in the world of athletics.

History of the MAC Based in Cleveland since July 1999 following a 15-year stay in Toledo, Ohio, the MAC has estab-lished historic measurements in both football and men’s and women’s basketball since moving to Northeast Ohio. The MAC was founded as a five-school league on February 24, 1946 in Co-lumbus, Ohio with Ohio, Butler, Cincinnati, Wayne State and Western Reserve admitted as char-ter members. The Mid-American Conference membership consists of 12 universities across five states (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, New York and Ohio). In 1946 men’s basketball was the first competitive sport in the MAC, which now sponsors a total 23 sports. Women’s sports were brought into the conference’s structure in 1980. For men, there are 11 championships sponsored in football, basketball, baseball, cross country, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, golf and tennis. For women, 12 championships are sponsored in basketball, softball, volleyball, cross country, field hockey, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, gymnastics, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis.

easTeRn MiChigan univeRsiTyWhere We’re Located

Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, about 10 miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, technological and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jog-ging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake.Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted more than 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique In 1849, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a Uni-versity, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The university currently serves 23,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, specialist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Educa-tion; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses, a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners, and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to applied education.

Our Students With nearly 23,000 students, EMU provides a rich learning environment for the campus community. The University currently has approximately 18,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduate students. Our students represent 45 states and 93 foreign countries. Of undergraduate students, 72 percent are full-time and 57 percent are women. The most popular majors are education, business, social sciences and history, science and engineering, English, and the health professions. EMU’s undergraduate population is approximately 65 percent white; 21 percent black; 2 percent international; 2.5 percent Asian-American; 2 percent Hispanic, 0.5 percent Native-American, and 7 percent not answered (i.e. elected not to respond to this inquiry). Eastern Michigan offers a number of special academic programs to help students succeed. These include the Honors College; the Holman Success Center; distance learning; accelerated format programs; online, weekend and evening programs and courses; American Humanics certification; Study Abroad Tours; a specialized master’s degree program for corporations offered onsite; a double master’s degree; online technologies for education and training. With more than 200 academic and social organizations, an extensive intramural sports program, 21 NCAA Division I-A sports and numerous cultural activities from which to choose, EMU students have diverse opportunities to become involved in campus life. Students’ on-campus housing choices range from traditional dormitory-style rooms to apartments and include living/learning center options.

Faculty/Staff Eastern Michigan University employs nearly 700 full-time faculty and 1,000 staff members. Ninety-four percent of EMU professors have doctoral de-grees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 19:1. Faculty work closely with students, and many involve students in their research. Recently, the University celebrated its 30th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergradu-ate research.

Community Outreach Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on com-munity building and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small busi-ness development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well-known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association Representing more than 142,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geographically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

EMU’s Economic Impact Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3.7 billion annually reflects a return of more than $42 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $166 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.87 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

eduCaTiOn fiRsTMission Statement

Eastern Michigan University is com-mitted to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of na-tional leadership in the preparation of teach-ers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doc-

toral programs. We strive to provide a student-focused learning environment that enhances the lives of students and positively impacts the community. We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives, and public and private partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.

Our History Founded in 1849, when the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times, adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975, and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently ,Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs and numerous community-focused institutes. The university has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L.

The City of Ypsilanti Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate com-munity a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities eventually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 work-ers.

Entering her seventh year as the president of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. Susan W. Martin has made a significant impact on the campus in her time in Ypsilanti. Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 165-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. Martin’s tenure at Eastern has brought unprecedented five-year growth in facilities and record-setting growth in enrollment. During this time, Eastern has also led the state in tuition restraint. Since joining EMU she has led the institution to enrollment growth, kept tuition, room and board at 0% increase for 2010-11, enhanced the quality of education by investing in hiring new faculty, and enhanced the living and learning facilities by making $210 million in capital improvements to the campus. Eastern has been a nationally recognized leader in tuition restraint. Over the past five years, Eastern’s has been by far the lowest among the state’s 15 public universities. This includes the “0, 0, 0” tuition, room and board freeze of 2010-2011, in which

Eastern was one of a handful of universities around the nation to not increase fees. Additionally, Eastern completed its first comprehensive fundraising campaign a year ahead of schedule. “Invest. Inspire. The Campaign for Eastern Michigan” surpassed its $50 million goal in the summer of 2012 and reached $56 million. The highly successful campaign set the tone for future efforts to benefit Eastern students. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excellent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Martin set forth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni relationships, comprehensive fundraising

and earning the public’s trust. Prior to coming to EMU, Martin was the provost and vice-chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The majority of Martin’s higher education career was at Grand Valley State University, where she taught and published as a professor of accounting and taxation. Martin served as director of

the master of taxation program, director of international business programs, and chair of the accounting and taxation department. In June 2001, Martin joined the GVSU provost’s office and served in roles as assistant, associate, and executive associate vice president of academic affairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help manage the $154 million budget for the Academic Affairs Division. Before GVSU, Martin was deputy state treasurer for the Bureau of Local Government Services for Michigan from June 1981-June 1984. She also was the commissioner of revenue for the state of Michigan from 1985-88. Martin received her doctoral degree in accounting from Michigan State University in 1988 and her master’s degree in accounting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University in 1971. In 2009, Martin received the MSU Department of Accounting and Information Systems Alumna of the Year Award. Martin is a member of the board of directors of the Michigan Educational Trust as well as Ann Arbor SPARK, a non-profit organization that seeks to bring businesses to the Ann Arbor area. She is married to Dr. Larry Martin, professor of economics at Michigan State University, and has three children and three grandchildren.

Heather LykeEMU Vice President/Director of Athletic

Heather Lyke begins her second year at Eastern Michigan University, having been named EMU’s Vice President/Director of Athletics on July 1, 2013. Lyke came to Ypsilanti with more than 17 years of experience in intercollegiate athletics administration – 15 of which were at The Ohio State University. Lyke’s first year at Eastern Michigan was a successful one, as the Eagles won three Mid-American Conference team championships and 24 individual MAC titles in track and swimming. EMU also produced 64 All-MAC student-athletes to go along with 41 Academic All-MAC honorees. In the classroom, EMU student-athletes continued to showcase their success in the classroom, ending the Winter 2014 semester with a 3.145 grade point average. It marked the ninth consecutive semester that the Eagles had surpassed the 3.0 plateau as a department. Lyke also developed and installed the mantra of Eagles Unite. More than just a catchy slogan, it was a campaign of support that pervade through all of EMU 21 varsity sports. The campaign extended beyond student-athletes; it strongly encouraged the athletic department staff, fans, alumni and students to show their support as well.

The 13th athletic director in Eastern Michigan history, Lyke was selected from a pool of more than 80 candidates. She also is the first woman to hold the full-time AD position at EMU. “I am honored and excited to be named the Director of Athletics at Eastern Michigan University,” said Lyke at her hiring press conference. “This is a tremendous opportunity to become a part of a dynamic leadership team. I am eager to serve and build great relationships with President Martin and the University leadership, the faculty, our student-athletes, coaches and staff, alumni and donors, and the greater Ypsilanti and Michigan community. Eastern Michigan has a rich history of athletic success and academic achievement. I look forward to being part of the continued success of Eastern Michigan University as we help shape the next generation of leaders and achieve even greater accomplishments.” At OSU, she was a member of the athletic department’s executive

team and was responsible for the assessment, design and development of the department’s strategic plan. She directly oversaw 10 of OSU’s 36 athletic programs and managed/supervised 31 full-time coaches and staff. She also had oversight over all facets of the athletic councils involving budget oversight, revenue generation and facilities as well as the golf course operations. Additionally, she supervised the sport performance division of the department, which includes the strength

and conditioning coaches, athletic training staff and sports medicine staff. In 2013, she developed the first ever student-athlete internship program within the Department of Athletics. On a national level, Lyke has been active within the NCAA and Big Ten Conference committee structure as a member of the NCAA Division I Men’s Lacrosse Committee and Big Ten Sports Management Committee and previously served on the NCAA Softball Rules Committee and the NCAA Amateurism Committee. Her previous roles at OSU included associate athletic director for sport administration (2002-12) and associate athletic director for sport administration, compliance and camp operations (1998-02). Prior to Ohio State, Lyke was at the University of Cincinnati for two years, serving as the assistant athletic director for compliance as well as the senior woman administrator. Lyke began her athletics administrative career at the NCAA national office as an intern in the enforcement and student-athlete reinstatement department. Lyke also has worked for the Big Ten Network as a color analyst for softball games. Lyke grew up in Canton, Ohio, and attended the University of Michigan on a softball scholarship. While at U-M, she was a four-year letter winner as a first baseman, two-time team captain, Big Ten champion and Academic All-Big Ten honoree as a member of its softball team. She earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Education from University of Michigan and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Akron School of Law. She was admitted to the Ohio Bar in 1995.

*Mid-American Conference Game

Rynearson Stadium begins its 45th season as the home venue for the Eastern Michigan University football and track teams in 2012. Opened in 1969, the facility is named for the late Elton J. Rynearson, Sr., who coached football at Eastern Michigan for 28 seasons. The first game played in Rynearson Stadium was Sept. 27, 1969, when EMU upset the University of Akron, 10-3. The stadium was dedicated a few weeks later on Oct. 25, 1969, when EMU lost, 17-7, to the University of Tampa. More than two million fans have seen EMU play in Rynearson. In 22 of the 44 years, Eastern has av-eraged more than 11,000 fans per home date. The 1995 season proved to be the record-breaking year for Rynearson Stadium attendance. A single-game record crowd of 25,009 was on hand, Sept. 16, 1996, to watch the Eagles dismantle UNLV, 51-6. That four-game ‘95 season also proved to be a best for season average attendance of 22,602. Rynearson Stadium is set up for a capacity of 30,200 with the ability to expand for larger crowds. The stadium originally held 15,500, but additional seating and lighting were added in 1974 when the now-defunct Detroit Wheels used the facility for their World Football League games. The additional seating in 1974 brought the capacity to 22,227. Dur-ing the summer of 1992, seating was added on the east side to bring capacity to the current total of 30,200. Built for an approximate cost of $1.4 million in 1969, Rynearson Stadium underwent a major ren-ovation project in 1991 and 1992, which included installation of a StadiaTurf field, a new team build-ing, an additional 10,000-plus seats, new bathroom facilities and concession stands, an expanded press box and state-of-the-art scoreboard were added at a cost of approximately $13 million. The playing field was originally natural grass. A sand-filled artificial surface, StadiaTurf, was installed in 1991. The StadiaTurf surface was replaced in May 1998, by an AstroTurf artificial surface. A FieldTurf surface was installed in the summer of 2005. The press box is located on the top of the west-side stands. A second level was added as part of the renovations in 1991. The working media utilize the lower level while the top level is the University hos-pitality area for the stadium. The EMU locker room is located in the team build-ing at the north end of the stadium. The visitor’s locker room is located below the stands on the west side of the stadium.

Elton J. Rynearson, former athletic director and coach at Eastern Michigan University, died Feb. 8, 1967. “Rynie” coached every varsity sport at one time or another during his 46 years of service to the Uni-versity. In his 28 years as head football coach, Rynearson compiled a won-lost-tied record of 114-58-15, including one stretch from 1925 to 1933 when his teams lost only six games. In 1968, the Rynearson Scholar-Athlete Award was founded in his memory. It is given annually to the EMU football player who best combines athletic ability and scholastic excellence.

The Eastern Michigan University Convocation Center, in its 15th season as the crown jewel of EMU athletics, opened up a new era of excitement on the west campus of EMU in the fall of 1998. The state-of-the-art, $29-million facility is the result of a decade-long effort to improve and up-grade University facilities and followed closely the opening of the $41-million Bruce T. Halle Library on the main campus. Construction of the Convocation Center began in the spring of 1997 and culminated with its dedi-cation game, Dec. 9, 1998, with a men’s basketball game against the University of Michigan in front of a crowd of 7,647. Since its opening, the Convocation Center has served as home court for the Eagles’ men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball teams. The EMU wrestling team and women’s gymnastics team have held several meets on the arena floor. The Convocation Center has also served as the site for four Mid-American Conference Champi-onships. EMU hosted the 2000 and 2007 MAC Gymnastics Championship and the 2002 and 2009 MAC Wrestling Championship. The arena has been the host site for seven first-round MAC Women’s Basketball Tournament games, four first-round MAC Volleyball Tournament games and four first-round game for the men’s basket-ball squad. The building also played the host for the EMU women’s basketball team’s upset of the University of Michigan in the First Round of the 2011 Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT). The Convocation Center also played host to the 2008 WNBA’s Eastern Conference Finals and the WNBA Championship, as the Detroit Shock utilized the facility for the playoffs. Along with their commitment to EMU Athlet-ics, the Convocation Center staff has brought some of the finest entertainers in the world to Ypsilanti. The Convo has hosted concerts by the Black Crowes, Indigo Girls, Godsmack, Smash-mouth, Ludacris, Bob Dillion, Toby Keith, Match-box Twenty, Goo Goo Dolls, Dave Chapelle, John Mayer and Jay-Z. The Convocation Center is also the site for EMU’s spring and winter commencement cer-emonies. Among other events that have taken

place include numerous youth sporting competi-tions, high school commencements, trade shows, job fairs, conventions, charity and community awareness events as well as a circus. The 204,316-square-foot facility features three user-friendly levels — arena, concourse and office — and three seating configurations to maximize crowd capacity and space usage. The largest seating capacity is for center-stage entertainment activities, with 9,500 seats available. The capacity for basketball games is approximately 8,800. EMU’s athletic administration is located on the office level, along with offices for the EMU foot-ball, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball coaching staffs. The EMU Athletic Media Relations Office, as well as offices for the Convocation Cen-ter staff, are located on the office level. The main athletic training room and office space for EMU’s sports medicine staff is located on the arena level as are strength and conditioning facilities and equipment rooms. In the summer of 2012, the Convocation Center received a major face-lift, as a YESCO four-sided ceiling hung display sign, featuring video boards on all four sides, was installed above center court in the arena. The fixture features four 10MM full color video boards, with each board’s active area measuring 15.7-foot wide by 11.5-foot tall. In addition, the system also features three ribbon displays on the west and east sides and under the scoreboard. The arena will also showcase an integrated light emitting diode (LED) courtside scorer’s table. There is no doubt that the Convocation Center has become a special place for athletic events, but there is a warm spot in the hearts of Eastern Michigan fans for Bowen Field House, the home for men’s and women’s basketball games for 43 years. Bowen was built in 1955 at a cost of $1.25 mil-lion. The facility has 79,529 square feet of floor space and includes an eight-laps-to-the-mile indoor track. An additional 9,394 square feet, along with new permanent seating, a new court and upgrading of the facility was completed in 1982 at a cost of $506,938. Bowen still serves as home to EMU’s track teams and also serves as a practice facility for many of Eastern’s varsity squads.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- Eastern Michigan Univer-sity’s Indoor Athletic Practice Facility, also known as “The Bubble,” is paying dividends for the University, the community and EMU ath-letics in its second year of operation. “I think the facility has been invaluable,” said former Eastern Michigan University’s athletic director Derrick Gragg. “It is the first time in EMU athletic history that our football team has been able to do conditioning and practice in the winter months without interruption. We also have seen improvement in our baseball and softball programs, and the practice facility has had something to do with that. This facility should help reduce the competitive ad-vantages that other programs have had in the past and is helping EMU catch up to other schools.” “Everything has gone very smoothly,” said Mark Monahan, di-rector of the EMU Convocation Center, which oversees the indoor practice facility. “Since January, it has been booked all the time. We have had a ton of youth sports use it.” The indoor practice facility, which cost $3.9 million to build, was inflated during February 2010. The facility is a permanent air-supported structure that is 410 feet long, 210 feet wide, and 75 feet tall; and includes a welcome center (1,100 square feet) and convertible space (86,000 square feet) that can be configured for a football field, an international soccer field, four youth soccer fields or two youth baseball/softball fields. A full-time supervisor and students staff the facility. The facility, located at 150 Westview Drive, is open Monday-Friday, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Youth soccer, Little League baseball, high school football teams, EMU club sports, recreational groups and six intercollegiate teams have used the facility since it opened last year, said Monahan. The six intercollegiate sports that use the facility are football, baseball, softball, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s golf. “It’s been fantastic for our league,” said Dave York, soccer man-ager for Total Sports Complex. “We are able to incorporate more Ann Arbor-based clubs so they don’t have to drive so far to play.” Total Sports Complex runs youth soccer programs — that in-cludes approximately 700 players — in southeastern Michigan and Ohio. Monahan said there has been one challenge for the facility. “Parking has been an issue because business is so good,” he said. The facility has 100 spaces, but the volume associated with its use has led Monahan to request additional parking. Currently, Mo-

nahan said that a shuttle service to and from additional parking at Westview has helped offset the situation. “We need about 50 more spaces,” said Monahan. He said there is a proposal to add additional spaces on a hill near the existing spaces. Monahan said the facility had netted $325,000 in user fees as of March and is “in the black.” However, he said some utility billing issues are still being worked out so determining a profit margin is difficult at this point. “I think it was a great decision by the University,” said Monahan of building the facility. “The community seems pleased. It has been wonderful for the University and it is paying for itself.”

Eastern Eagles Fight Song

“Eastern Eagles, hats off to you!Fight, fight, fight for ole EMU.Look to the sky, the Eagles will fly,the bravest we’ll defy.... Rah,rah, rah!”

“Hold that line for ole Green and White.Sons and daughters show your might.So, FIGHT, FIGHT! for ole EMU and vic-tor-y!”

EMU Alma Mater

Eastern, sacred Alma Mater to your name we shall be true.Ever marching on to victory, we’ll stand by to see you through,Softly floating on the breeze, verdant green with white of snow,This our banner we will carry in our hearts whe’er we go.

Go Green

Go Green, roll up the score.Go Green, let’s get some more.Raise a cheer for old Green and White.Let’s show them we came here to fight.Go Green, vic’try we’ll claim.Go Green, let’s win this game.We’ll always fight for old EMU.Come on and let’s go Green!

Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites,” “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the re-sult of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriate-ness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Native American logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.

The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a com-prehensive compliance program that educates student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference and institu-tional rules. The commitment to compliance en-sures institutional control over the department of athletics. The existence of a successful com-pliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

WHAT IS CoMPLIANCE? At Eastern Michigan University, the Office of Compliance works within the department of athletics and the University to ensure EMU's compliance with all applicable NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. In doing so, the compliance office is charged with the following tasks:

Educating administrators, coaches, staff, • prospective student-athletes, current stu-dent-athletes and boosters about NCAA, MAC and institutional rules;Developing monitoring systems to ensure • compliance with NCAA, MAC and institu-tional rules (e.g., recruiting, academic eli-gibility, financial aid, awards and benefits, amateurism and agents);Investigating and reporting violations of • NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

ARE YoU A BooSTER? You are a booster if you are or ever have:

Been a member of a booster organization • that supports EMU athletics (e.g., EMU Ath-letic Club, E-Gridiron Group);Made any financial contributions to the • athletics department;Been involved in promoting EMU's athlet-• ics program;Been a season ticket holder; or• Provided benefits to enrolled student-ath-• letes or their relatives or friends.

You can become a booster if you provide ben-efits to prospects, student-athletes, their rela-tives or friends and any of the following state-ments are true:

oNCE A BooSTER ALWAYS A BooSTER. Once an individual is identified as a booster, the person retains that identity forever! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU's athletics program.

WHo IS A PRoSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered pros-pects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent.

WHAT IS AN EXTRA BENEFIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a pros-pect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:

Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any • other tangible item;A special discount, payment arrangement • or credit on any purchase or service;Loan of money or co-signing of loans;• A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transpor-• tation expenses;Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or • rentals;Entertainment on- or off-campus; or• Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.•

WHAT ARE THE CoNSEQUENCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boost-ers. If a booster provides an impermissible ben-efit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of intention, it can:

Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective • and current student-athletes; Result in the EMU athletics program being • penalized by the NCAA and/or the Mid-American Conference; and Cause you to lose benefits or privileges • associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privi-leges).

QUESTIoNS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective student-athletes. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC or institutional rules, please contact the Christopher Hoppe at 734.487.3263 or [email protected]. For more information on compliance and boosters, please visit the Office of Athletic Compliance's website at: EMUEagles.com/compliance

Student-Athlete Support Services Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an aca-demic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, pro-viding learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and university rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other university student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and provid-ing additional help with courses when requested.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long his-tory and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, man-agement and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara Master-Hunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Ad-ditionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medi-cine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: To provide a high standard of medical care through effective pre-ventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilitation process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facili-ties in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning Our Sports Performance Program applies a complete approach to scientifi-cally and practically progress each individual athlete. Our purpose is to improve all components that will aid in achieving maximal athletic performance while reducing the occurrence of injury. We incorporate athletic based, free weight, multi-joint, and multi-directional movements which vary from a diverse col-lection of strength and conditioning disciplines to prepare each athlete for the general and specific demands of their sport. Standards that will be implemented at all times are: Integrity, Attention to Detail, Quality before Quantity, and Execu-tion before Innovation. Assuming quality thought and effort have been put into a sports performance program, all else being equal, the program feels that these three components are usually separating an elite level program from the average. Incorporating Daily Competitions – The ability for athletes to compete in an every day setting is critical to the success of team and individual sports. Anything from team relay’s, to 1 on 1 tug of wars, to using a dumbbell weight heavier than the previous week. I simply make the statement to my teams, “WIN THE DAY.” Work harder – beat your last weeks sets/reps/weight/time, COMPETE! There is competitive nature in all mankind. Sometimes it takes a little extra effort on the coaching end to see it. Fill your team with competitors and your program will take care of itself. Physical and Mental Sport Transfer – Training to the specifics of the sport, and style that the head coaches are teaching is an essential way to succeed at any level. Find out what the sport coaches are looking to achieve and speak their same language. You are an addition to their staff, hop on board and cater your philosophy to their needs. Giving each athlete specific examples of on field/on court experiences where success can either be earned or an opportunity can be lost. Being able to make athlete’s understand the importance of mental tough-ness that is needed in the weight room and how it transfers over to their sport. The pain, the physical and mental struggles they endure in each training session is setting them up for success for their competitive season. Fight for every rep just as you would for any rebound, blocked shot, interception, or stolen base. Make references back to their closest contests that might have been decided by one play – (or one rep). Positive Influential Environment – Do athletes leave the weight room looking to return for more or dreading the next time they have to mope through one of the most silent hours of their day? Each session, from the minute the first athlete walks in, to the last grueling minute they are dragging out, fill the room with ENERGY!!! Push them through their toughest moments and coach every rep. Show each and every athlete that you care about their progress. Stay vo-cal, provide positive feedback as well as constructive criticism, play that latest hip-hop track and find a way to create a positive training environment.

How to Make a Gift

Eagles Pride provides vital financial support to more than 550 student-athletes at Eastern Michigan University as they strive for excellence on the court and in the classroom. Nearly 1,000 donors generously supported our outstanding scholar-athletes each year. Established in 1994, Eagles Pride (formerly the EMU Athletic Club) raises funds in three key areas for EMU's 21 varsity athletic teams: annual-use operating funds, endowment, and facility related proj-ects. Today, annual-use giving is the most critical area of support needed by the Athletic Department. These contributions directly support the operating budgets of our teams and help provide the most basic needs to our coaches and student-athletes, including comprehensive national recruiting efforts, out of region travel to maintain nationally competitive schedules, equipment such as uni-forms, balls, nets, bats, and much more. Gifts to any of our teams, or to the Eagles Pride Fund (which will be used for the most urgent needs of the athletic department), are an investment in the future leaders of the state of Michigan. Join Eagles Pride today and make a difference for EMU Athletics.
