n the eight short months since our coaching staff arrived on campus, we have already witnessed incredible growth by our studentathletes, both collectively and as individuals. Without a doubt, each of them has the competitive drive and the physical ability necessary to meet the rigorous demands of a grueling sport such as field hockey. Now, it is our mission to help our student-athletes truly FLY. We consider flying to be the ability to find the strength to step on the field and put together each of the the pieces that will permit them to spread their wings and get off the ground. We as coaches could not be more excited by the challenge and look forward to sharing with the Northwestern community the moment when our young women realize just how limitless their potential is. We expect great things from this group of Wildcats on the field, in the classroom and in the community.

LAKESIDE FIELD: HOME OF THE WILDCATS

leonard b. thomas sports complex at lakeside field

uilt in 1997 at a cost of $3.5 million, the Leonard B. Thomas Sports Complex (LBT), also known as Lakeside Field, is one of the premier venues for field hockey in the United States. Located on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan with the world-famous Chicago Skyline serving as a panoramic backdrop, the complex includes an artificial turf playing field lined specifically for field hockey, permanent seating for approximately 300 fans, a sound system, a permanent scoreboard, lighting for night games and extensive landscaping. The LBT was the site for the 2002 Big Ten Field Hockey Tournament and, following field renovations two years later, hosted the Tournament again in 2004. The installment of the complex on the north end of Northwestern’s main campus brings field hockey closer to where the students live and has attracted additional fans to the team’s games. On a sunny day in the fall, the stands are packed to beyond capacity with fans spilling over onto the sidelines.

2009 Season Outlook I

n the short period of time since Tracey Fuchs took over as the head coach of Northwestern, it has become clear that she would waste no time imparting her coaching philosophies and team identity to her new squad. Along with associate head coach Carla Tagliente and assistant coach April Fronzoni—both of whom have played or coached alongside Fuchs at the collegiate and international levels—Fuchs has introduced a new brand of field hockey to a talented returning Wildcats lineup. Throughout her first offseason practice schedule at NU, Fuchs demanded constant effort, focus and grit from her players, who were out to prove themselves in front of a new coaching staff. “I thought we had a really good spring practice schedule and that we really made progress in the way we play,” Fuchs said. “We had a lot of our girls playing a lot of field hockey at a high level this summer so I expect them be very confident and ready to go.” Equipped with all the necessary tools, this year’s NU team has decided that the 2009-10 campaign is about learning to fly; under the guidance of Fuchs, it certainly seems like a group that is ready to take flight. FORWARDS Late last season, Northwestern saw two particular players step up and declare themselves ready to be consistent scoring threats on the offensive end. Seniors Elizabeth Dobbs and Courtney Plaster-Strange both developed a nose for the goal, finishing second and third, respectively, in points and goals scored for NU. They seem prepared to account for the loss of the departed Alexandra Quinn and her team-best 14 goals from last season and will look forward to increased contributions from Regan Mooney and Olivia Standa. According to Coach Fuchs: “We definitely will be looking to Liz and Courtney to create opportunities for us but I really think our corner attack unit will need to step up to take some pressure off our primary forwards.” MIDFIELDERS Arguably NU’s strongest unit, the midfield line figures to provide the same type of stability and two-way effort it demonstrated last season. Senior Stephanie Fortson will once again anchor the middle of the field and this year will be joined by Jill Putnam, a senior with a wealth of experience and playmaking ability who missed last season due to injury. With former high school teammates Stacy Uchida and Jaimie Orrico as well as the dangerous Kendra Sirak running the sidelines, NU should be able to create plenty of scoring opportunities for its forwards. According to Coach Fuchs: “With Stephanie, Stacy and Kendra, we have a lot of experience in the midfield and won’t need to waste time letting them gel. Stacy is one of our best leaders so we’ll go as she goes and I expect really big things from her.”

Defender SARAH MARCINCIN

DEFENDERS The back line is another source of experience for Northwestern, beginning with centerback Sarah Marcincin, who started all 20 games for NU in 2008. Zoe Almquist and Kaylee Pohlmeyer gained starting experience on the outside as underclassmen last year and could be joined in the mix by talented freshmen Shannon Disbrow and Colleen Petronchak. According to Coach Fuchs: “This year we’re very focused on making sure our backline players are both good stickhandlers and good defenders.”

GOALKEEPERS Despite losing a three-year starter in Emily Kyle to graduation, Wildcat fans shouldn’t worry about a drop-off in play in the cage. Katie Lynch has plenty of game experience for the ’Cats and is ready to take the reins as the starter, while freshman Amanda Wirth also will be vying for playing time right from the start. According to Coach Fuchs: “I think it’s really going to be a battle at goalkeeper. Katie had a great spring and we’re bringing in a top goalie recruit in Amanda so I like our depth and options in the cage.”

2008 SEASON IN REVIEW P

owered by the efforts of five remarkable seniors, Northwestern completed the 2008 season with a 7-13 overall record and a 1-5 record in the Big Ten. NU provided fans at Lakeside Field with a host of highlight reel plays and memorable performances in its five home victories. Two Wildcat players distinguished themselves statistically throughout their senior campaigns. Alexandra Quinn posted the most prolific scoring season of her career with a team-best 14 goals and 33 points on her way to first-team All-Big Ten accolades. Quinn’s scoring prowess landed her in a tie for 14th all-time at NU with 74 career points. Anchoring NU’s defense for the third season in a row was goalkeeper Emily Kyle. Kyle racked up 139 saves in 2008, which led the Big Ten and ranked as the sixth-highest single season total in school history. Kyle compiled exactly 400 career saves, fourth all-time in program history. Northwestern also featured a number of younger players who emerged as reliable scorers and permanent fixtures in the starting lineup. Elizabeth Dobbs finished second on the team with nine goals on 28 shots and enjoyed a stretch of four straight games with a goal in September. On Oct. 4 vs. Missouri State, Dobbs started her first game of the year and scored NU’s first two goals in the opening eight minutes of a 5-3 Wildcats win. Sarah Marcincin established herself as the team’s leading defender, starting all 20 games at center back while contributing on NU’s offensive penalty corner unit, scoring one goal and adding two assists. NU began its home schedule with a three-game winning streak during which it outscored its opponents by a 14-1 margin. Quinn scored four goals in two games against Miami (Ohio) and Sacred Heart to earn Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors for the first time in her career. Kyle also was 2008 first-team All-Big Ten named the conference’s Defensive Player of honoree ALEXANDRA QUINN the Week for her role in Northwestern’s first shutout victory since Oct. 9, 2005, an 8-0 drubbing of SHU. Two weeks later, NU improved to 4-0 at Lakeside Field with a 6-1 defeat of Saint Louis, a game in which Quinn sparked Northwestern’s attack to the tune of two goals and three assists to once again earn Big Ten Player of the Week recognition.

2008 Team StatISTICS

Beginning Sept. 13 vs. American, the ’Cats played top-20 ranked teams in eight of their next 13 contests, including run-ins with three of the four schools that would eventually reach the national semifinals (Iowa, Maryland and Wake Forest). One of NU’s best performances of the year came on Oct. 26 at No. 11 Louisville. Playing against her hometown team, Courtney PlasterStrange scored once in each half and Dobbs added a goal to give the ’Cats a 3-2 advantage. That remained the score until Louisville pushed across the equalizer with just three minutes to play in regulation. Sudden victory overtime lasted for nearly 13 minutes, with Kyle making four of her seasonhigh-tying 12 saves in the extra session, but the Cardinals managed a goal by Nicole Youman to end the overtime thriller. In the Big Ten regular season finale at home vs. Indiana, NU came out determined to send its seniors off with a victory. After the Hoosiers scored an early goal, Northwestern responded with a penalty corner goal by Stephanie Fortson to even the score. Quinn and Plaster-Strange then managed second-half tallies to lift NU to a 3-1 win and the No. 6 seed in the Big Ten tournament, where two goals by Quinn were not enough as NU’s season came to an end against second-seeded Michigan State, 4-2.

HEAD COACH TRACEY FUCHS TRACEY FUCHS

TRACEY FUCHS

Head Coach First Season

n Jan. 15, 2009, Tracey Fuchs became the seventh head coach in the history of the Northwestern field hockey program. Fuchs comes to Northwestern following two championship-laden coaching stints as the associate head coach at Michigan that spanned 12 seasons (1996-2003, 2005-’08). When Fuchs arrived as an assistant at Michigan in 1996, the Wolverines had never in their history reached the NCAA tournament. That quickly changed, however, under the leadership of Fuchs and new head coach Marcia Pankratz. In 1999, Michigan qualified for the tournament for the first time and went all the way to the championship game. Two years later, Fuchs and Michigan completed their rise to the top, winning the 2001 NCAA title. In total at U of M, Fuchs was part of six NCAAqualifying teams as well as three Big Ten Tournament-winning squads (1999, 2000, 2005). Since 2005, Fuchs has also been the head coach of the United States Junior National Team. In that role, Fuchs recently guided the 2008 team to a historic victory at the Pan American Junior Championships in Mexico City, posting a 2-1 overtime win in the finals against Argentina, which had won all five tournaments dating to 1988. The United States topped its previous-best finish of second, a feat it accomplished three times. Following one of those silver medal performances at the Pan American Junior Championships in her first year at the helm, Fuchs led the squad to a seventh-place showing at the Junior World Cup, the best finish by the USA at the international event. Consequently, she was named USA Field Hockey’s National Coach of the Year in 2005. In August, 2009, Fuchs helped the Americans to an eighth-place finish at the Junior World Cup. Arguably the greatest player in the history of USA field hockey, Fuchs is a two-time USA Field Hockey Athlete of the Year (1990, ’95), and a member of two Olympic and four World Cup teams. She has participated in more international matches (268) than any other player in U.S. field hockey history. Fuchs gained extensive leadership experience as a 17-year member of the national team, serving as team captain for 14 seasons. She racked up 69 international goals and in 1994 was named to the President’s XI, a world all-star team chosen to play the Australian Hockeyroos in honor of the International Hockey Federation’s 75th Anniversary.

She also earned all-tournament recognition after helping the Huskies win the 1985 NCAA championship and graduated with seven UConn scoring records to her name. A native of Centereach (N.Y.) High School, Fuchs earned a bachelor’s degree in sports management and marketing from Connecticut in 1988.

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH CARLA TAGLIENTE CARLA TAGLIENTE Associate Head Coach First Season

arla Tagliente joined the field hockey staff as Northwestern’s associate head coach in January, 2009, beginning her seventh season coaching in the Big Ten after three-year stints at Iowa (2003-05), where she revitalized the Hawkeyes’ offense and helped them nearly double their goal output over her brief tenure, and Michigan (2006-08), where she also worked primarily with the offense and led the Wolverines to the 2007 Big Ten Tournament championship game. Tagliente has also stayed involved with the USA Field Hockey program as coach of the illustrious A-Camp and the High Performance Center Midwest Regional team. In fall 2008, Tagliente was elected to the U.S. Field Hockey Board of Directors and in November received a Level III accreditation from U.S. Field Hockey with a recommendation to go onto the International Hockey Federation. Tagliente and NU head coach Tracey Fuchs are two of only five coaches in the country to have earned such accreditation. Tagliente also spent two years as a volunteer assistant at Maryland, where as a player she was a three-time first-team NFHCA AllAmerican (1998, ’99, 2000).

Assistant Coach Second Season

Born

pril Fronzoni, a 2004 graduate of the University of Michigan and one of the most successful collegiate field hockey players this decade, joined the Wildcats staff in August, 2008, serving as a volunteer assistant coach for the 2008 campaign before moving into her current role as a full-time assistant coach. She arrived at Northwestern on the heels of an impressive field hockey career at both the collegiate and international levels. A four-time letterwinner in field hockey at Michigan, Fronzoni concluded her Wolverine career as the all-time leader in goals (68) and points (155). She was the first player in program history to be named Big Ten Conference Athlete of the Year in 2002 and was tabbed Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year in both 2002 and 2003. Fronzoni, a three-time NFHCA All-American and All-Big Ten Conference selection, was also a member of the 2001 NCAA Championship team—the APRIL first title in Michigan’s program history—and earned FRONZONI all-tournament honors that year. The first player in Michigan history to receive All-American honors three times, Fronzoni twice was a finalist for field hockey’s Honda Broderick Award (2002 and 2003), presented annually to the nation’s best collegiate field hockey player. Current Northwestern head coach Tracey Fuchs, who spent 12 years as an assistant and associate head coach in Ann Arbor, helped mentor Fronzoni throughout her four-year stint playing for Michigan. On the international scene, Fronzoni played forward and scored 15 goals in 60 career caps, including a goal in the United States’ 3-1 win over South Africa in the 2006 World Cup. She has been a member of USA Field Hockey every year since 1998, starting with the Under-16 National Team and as recently as 2007-08 with the USA National Team. She served as an alternate for the 2008 Women’s Olympic Field Hockey Team that competed in Beijing, China and was also a member of the 2004 U.S. National Field Hockey Olympic Qualifying Team (Auckland, New Zealand). Fronzoni, a native of Larksville, Pa., received her degree in sports management and communication from the University of Michigan in 2004.

Last season I was constantly impressed with the level of fight and enthusiasm our players demonstrated and I know that is going to be a strength of our team again this year. Our players are so coachable and willing to learn so I can only imagine the influence that somone as knowledgeable as Tracey can have on their performance.” —APRIL FRONZONI Assistant Coach

The highest order of excellence N

orthwestern University was founded in 1851 as a private institution of “the highest order of excellence” to serve the Northwest Territory, an area that now includes the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and part of Minnesota. Today one of the nation’s premier universities, Northwestern occupies two campuses along the shore of Lake Michigan and is connected by both geography and programming to one of the nation’s great cities, Chicago. In addition, Northwestern has a campus in Doha, Qatar. In this midsize research university, 11 schools— each with relatively small academic departments—offer high-quality programs spanning a remarkably diverse portfolio. Northwestern is recognized both nationally and internationally for the quality of its educational programs at all levels. U.S. News & World Report consistently ranks the University’s undergraduate and graduate programs among the best in the country.

more about Northwestern • From 25,000 freshman candidates each year, about 6,500 are offered admission for a freshman class size of 2,000. • Students from all 50 states and more than 50 foreign countries make up the undergraduate student body of approximately 8,000. The undergraduate population is about 54 percent women, and just under 30 percent are African American, Hispanic or Asian American. Total enrollment is approximately 17,000, including 1,100 part-time students in evening programs of the School of Continuing Studies. • Undergraduate financial aid is need based. More than half of all Northwestern undergraduates receive some combination of needbased scholarships, student loans and work-study employment. • Among the more than 50 fellowships awarded to students or alumni in 2008–09 were two Rhodes, one Marshall, four Gates Cambridge and 32 Fulbright Scholarships. • Among graduate programs, the J.L. Kellogg School of Management regularly ranks among the top five business schools in the country for both its traditional curriculum and its executive master’s program. • U.S. News & World Report placed Northwestern’s School of Law in the top 10 law schools nationally and the Feinberg School of Medicine in the top 20 medical programs. In its most recent assessment of doctoral programs, the National Research Council ranked five Northwestern programs in the top 10 percent nationally and 10 programs in the top 25 percent.

on the shore of lake michigan The unde rg radu at e sc h ool s The Judd A. and Marjorie Weinberg College of Arts and Sciences is the largest of Northwestern’s undergraduate schools with more than 4,000 undergraduate students and 500 faculty members. It is the cornerstone of a University that believes study in the liberal arts and sciences is the foundation of a strong undergraduate education. Students may enhance their studies with independent research projects, ad hoc majors or minors, Chicago field studies and study abroad. The School of Communication offers opportunities for study in five top-ranking departments: communication sciences and disorders, communication studies, performance studies, radio/television/film and theatre. Cocurricular opportunities include the top debate team in the country, hospital internships, student video and film projects, theater productions and the largest student-run college radio station in the country. The School of Education and Social Policy started as a department in the College of Liberal Arts and became a separate school of education in 1926. “Social policy” was added to its name in 1986 to reflect a distinctive mission among schools of education—to understand and improve learning communities (schools and classrooms, workplace settings, families and neighborhoods), to study lifelong learning and to improve lives through policy. By producing scholarly research that informs and influences public policy-making about education, this small school (350 undergraduates, 300 graduate students and 23 faculty) has earned national recognition. In the Robert R. McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science, about 1,300 undergraduates and approximately 750 graduate students choose from among 15 majors, including such interdisciplinary fields as materials science, biomedical engineering and environmental engineering. Recent curriculum innovations and the Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center give students exceptional opportunities for team learning, collaborative projects and computer-assisted learning. The Medill School of Journalism prepares students for careers in newspapers, magazines, broadcast journalism, new media or integrated marketing communications. Medill students have consistently won in the Hearst Foundation’s National Writing, Photojournalism and Broadcast News Championships, the Pulitzer Prize competition of college journalism; and its students dominate the Society of Professional Journalists’ Mark of Excellence Awards competition. Established in 1895 as an integral part of the University, the HENRY AND LEIGH BIENEN School of Music combines a nationally ranked music program of conservatory intensity with the academic rigor and scholarly resources found only at a firstrank research university. Students are encouraged to grow as both artists and people and to explore the myriad career options available in a life devoted to music. Artists from the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Lyric Opera of Chicago and other world-class performing organizations are among the faculty.

orton Owen Schapiro was named 16th president of Northwestern University on December 16, 2008 and began his term on September 1, 2009. President Schapiro is among the nation’s premier authorities on the economics of higher education, with particular expertise in the area of college financing and affordability and on trends in educational costs and student aid. He is widely quoted in the national media and has testified before U.S. Senate and House committees on economic and educational issues. Before coming to Northwestern, he was president of Williams College from 2000 to 2009. Among the initiatives implemented during his presidency were a substantial reduction in average class size, a tripling of the number of courses offered in the college’s signature tutorial program and the completion of a number of major building projects including a center for theatre and dance, a student center and new faculty office/classroom buildings. Courses taught by President Schapiro at Williams College included introductory microeconomics, a tutorial on the economics of higher education and two interdisciplinary seminars, one on the economics and philosophy of education and the other on disease, culture and society. He previously served as a member of the Williams College faculty from 1980 to 1991, as Professor of Economics and as Assistant Provost. In 1991 he went to the University of Southern California where he served as Chair of the Department of Economics until 1994 and then as Dean of the College of Letters, Arts and Sciences until 2000. During his last two years as Dean, he also served as the University’s Vice President for Planning. President Schapiro has written more than 100 articles and five books, and he has edited two others, most with his longtime co-author Michael McPherson. These include: The Student Aid Game: Meeting Need and Rewarding Talent in American Higher Education (Princeton University

Press 1998); Paying the Piper: Productivity, Incentives and Financing in Higher Education (also with Gordon Winston, University of Michigan Press 1993) and Keeping College Affordable: Government and Educational Opportunity (Brookings 1991), plus two recent edited volumes College Success: What It Means and How to Make It Happen (College Board 2008) and College Access: Opportunity or Privilege? (College Board 2006).

President Schapiro has received research grants and contracts from the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Department of Education, the World Bank, the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Spencer Foundation, the College Board, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and other groups to study the economics of higher education and related topics.

director of athletics and recreation jim phillips J

ames J. Phillips became Northwestern’s 21st director of intercollegiate athletics and recreation on April 14, 2008, bringing a track record of Division I success and a commitment to the values NU always has maintained in collegiate athletics. “The opportunity to lead Northwestern’s athletic and recreation programs is both exciting and humbling,” Phillips said. “Northwestern is a world-class institution that does things right in terms of college athletics and what they stand for.” One of 10 children, Phillips, who grew up in the Portage Park neighborhood on the Northwest Side, is the perfect fit to head up NU’s 19-sport program in the nation’s No. 3 market. His Windy City roots and family orientation are integral parts of his philosophy of providing student-athletes with a “world-class experience” that enables them to succeed academically, socially and athletically. One of Phillips’ first actions at Northwestern was to begin the implementation of a Department of Athletics and Recreation re-organization that was completed in January of 2009. NU’s existing departments were broken into three key “silos:” internal, external and student-athlete welfare. Northwestern’s stellar marketing and promotions staff continued to excel in 2008-09, winning its sixth national NACMA award since 2003. Ticket sales for Big Ten football home games went up 17 percent, men’s basketball sales improved 13 percent for weekend games and overall attendance was up at all seven of NU’s admission-charging sports. New courtside seating at Welsh-Ryan Arena sold out for the men’s basketball season. NU signed corporate sponsorship deals with Northwestern Memorial Hospital and Harris Bank, re-branded its media rights holder to Northwestern Sports Properties (NSP), defeated Notre Dame at U.S. Cellular Field in baseball and created an Annual Report to showcase the department’s previous year. Phillips hired ultra-successful women’s basketball coach Joe McKeown in June of 2008. McKeown came to Evanston after 19 years at George Washington, where he took his team to the postseason 17 times and compiled a 509-174 record. Phillips’ second coaching hire was to name Tracey Fuchs the head of the field hockey program in January of 2009. Fuchs had arguably the most successful playing career in USA Field Hockey history and has been referred to as the “Michael Jordan of field hockey.” In 2009, Phillips signed a four-year deal with WGN Radio, the long-time radio outlet of Northwestern football and men’s basketball. In addition to those two sports, a new weekly Inside

Wildcat Athletics show will air on The Voice of Chicago through the 2012-13 season. Phillips also inked head football coach Pat Fitzgerald to a new seven-year deal that will keep him on the Wildcat sidelines through 2015. Northwestern had a great athletic year in 2008-09, beginning in the fall with the Wildcats’ 9-4 Alamo Bowl season. The team became the fifth in NU history to win nine contests, finishing No. 23 in the BCS. The football team also earned a program-record 26 Academic All-Big Ten awards and earned a 3.0 or better team GPA during the spring quarter for the highest team GPA in school history. In addition, men’s soccer made its second appearance in the NCAA quarterfinals in the last three years. In the winter, men’s basketball earned NU’s first postseason bid during head coach Bill Carmody’s tenure. Northwestern recorded its fourth-straight year with an individual national champion when Jake Herbert won the 184-lbs wrestling title, the Hodge Trophy as the nation’s top collegiate wrestler and the Big Ten’s Jesse Owens Award. In the spring, Northwestern won its fifthstraight NCAA women’s lacrosse title and Hannah Nielsen repeated as the Tewaaraton Trophy winner. Women’s tennis ranked No. 1 for much of the year and won the ITA Indoor national title, a first for a northern school. Men’s tennis made a great turnaround to qualify for the NCAA Tournament and men’s golf made the NCAA Championships. Seven of NU’s eight men’s teams had postseason representation in 2008-09, making it arguably the top year for men’s athletics at NU in history. Academically and in the community, the Wildcats had a banner year in 2008-09. Northwestern touted a school-record-tying 879 studentathlete quarters in which a 3.0 GPA was earned, and 17 teams achieved a 3.0 or better team GPA. All 19 varsity squads recorded a 2.9 or better mark for two academic quarters (fall and spring) for the first time in school history. Northwestern’s combined student-athlete GPA for the spring was a school-record 3.21. NU’s APR and GSR scores ranked in the nation’s top five and 10, respectively. In the community, student-athletes volunteered a school-record 5,346 hours while serving 66 organizations in Evanston and greater Chicagoland. In June of 2009, Phillips served on the NCAA Champions Forum panel. The panel consisted of football coaches and athletics directors making an effort to bring minority football coaches closer to the mindset of those who hire football coaches. He also is part of the NCAA Mentoring Program, the NACDA Executive Committee and the 2016 Chicago Olympic Committee. Beginning in 2004, Phillips served as Northern Illinois’ athletic director for four years. In 2006, he was promoted to associate vice president in addition to his director of athletics title. He was chosen to serve as chairman of the MAC Athletic Director’s Council and also served on the NCAA

women’s basketball selection committee. Phillips spearheaded the fund raising and construction of the $14-million Yordon Academic and Athletic Performance Center, the largest capital project in athletics history at NIU. The Huskies also opened an indoor practice facility for baseball, softball and men’s and women’s golf and began construction in the spring of 2008 on a soccer/track and field complex. During Phillips’ tenure at NIU, he helped schedule football games with Michigan and Ohio State that resulted in NIU’s first national TV appearances. He negotiated playing Iowa at Soldier Field in 2007 as a home game, a contest that sold out in less than a week. Phillips also signed a multiple-year agreement for the radio power WSCR-AM (The Score) to carry football, men’s basketball and a weekly NIU Live radio show. A 1990 Illinois graduate, Phillips worked as a manager and student assistant in the Illini’s athletic department. He earned a master’s degree in education at Arizona State (1992) while serving as a restricted earnings basketball coach before moving into athletics administration in the Arizona State development office. Phillips holds a Ph.D. in educational administration from Tennessee, completed in 2007. Phillips served as an assistant athletics director with the Volunteers until 2000. He directed a $12.4 million annual athletics giving program and aided in the first-ever capital campaign for athletics at UT that raised over $50 million for endowments, facilities and programs. Phillips moved to Notre Dame in 2000, serving as associate director of athletics and senior associate director of athletics for external affairs. He helped launch the Rockne Heritage Annual Fund and played an integral part in the funding of a $24-million, 96,000-square foot athletic facility. In addition, he managed the ticket office, various corporate sponsorships, athletic programs and a weekly Irish radio show. Phillips and his wife, Laura, have five children: Luke, Madeline, Meredith, John and James.

freshman assistance. The advisors work closely with the freshmen to help ease the transition from high school to college. The freshmen meet weekly with their advisors to discuss their performance in the classroom and to receive academic assistance when necessary. The evening study skills/tutoring program is held at the University Library 7 to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The tutoring staff consists of mostly graduate students, with some outstanding undergraduates rounding out the 30-plus staff. The tutors are available for drop-in assistance, small group learning teams and individualized tutorial sessions. registration advising. In close collaboration with the advising staffs in each of the six undergraduate schools, the Academic Services and Student Development staff also provides advice to help student-athletes develop a plan of study, including guidance in selecting majors and minors. An important component of their services is course registration advising. Prior to the beginning of each quarter, student-athletes meet individually first with their schools’ academic advisors and then with their athletic advisors to plan their curriculum for the upcoming quarter and discuss the registration process. career planning. Preparation for a productive and successful entry into the workforce or graduate school begins during the freshman-year orientation programs. In conjunction with University Career Services, the provision of career counseling and the education of job search skills help Northwestern student-athletes obtain relevant summer employment and internships, as well as permanent employment or graduate school admissions upon graduation. The ’CATS Life Skills Program includes programs on major selection, finding a summer internship, securing a full time job, and the transition from school to work. The N club has partnered with the Life Skills program to provide mentoring opportunities as well as to facilitate internships and full-time employment.

Athletic excellence N

orthwestern University’s athletic department is consistently one of the finest in the Big Ten and the nation. The school has gained prominence in the last 15 years with the renewed success of the Wildcat football team, but fans who know college athletics know that Northwestern has long been a hidden gem in numerous other sports. A quick look across the board yields some truths about the quality of the Wildcats’ 19 varsity programs—and makes it no surprise to find out that Northwestern has been ranked in the Top 25 of The Sporting News listing of the top athletic departments in the nation every year that TSN has performed the survey. Since the 1995-96 athletic year, Northwestern has had 40 conference players of the year, 28 conference rookies of the year, and 29 conference coaches of the year. Twenty-six teams have been crowned with a conference championship, and 62 individuals have won Big Ten titles while 595 have received All-Big Ten recognition. Northwestern athletes have been accorded 130 first-team All-America honors during that time, while six different NU coaches have earned National Coach of the Year honors since 1997. Northwestern also has added five NCAA team championships (women’s lacrosse in 2005-09) and nine NCAA individual titles to its ledger. Northwestern finished 44th in this past year’s U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup standings after posting three-consecutive top-30 finishes from 2005-07. Northwestern’s five-year run of finishing among the top-45 Division I programs in the country marks its best-overall stretch of athletic success. Northwestern’s athletes also deliver in the classroom—the department has had more than 1,530 Academic All-Big Ten certificates delivered since 1995-96, including more than 100 each of the last 10 years. The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) has honored a Northwestern athlete 28 times with Academic All-America recognition, and 81 times with Academic All-District accolades. The women’s lacrosse team recorded its fifth-consecutive NCAA title. Senior Hannah Nielsen (bottom right) won the Tewaaraton Trophy for the second-straight year.
