2010 season notes SIX POSITION STARTERS RETURN Northwestern welcomes back six individuals who were regular starters a year ago. Senior Chad Noble returns behind the plate, having already established himself as one of the top defensive catchers in the Big Ten. Sophomore first baseman Paul Snieder is back after ranking second on the team last season with six home runs. Classmate Trevor Stevens is the incumbent at second base and led the team with 54 hits in 2009. Junior Chris Lashmet is back at the hot corner and leads all NU returners with nine doubles and 30 RBI a year ago. Outfielder Quentin Williams appeared in 33 games and started 28 as a freshman last season and socked four round-trippers. Also returning to the outfield is senior Kenneth Avila who led the squad with a .298 batting average in 2009. SOLID PITCHING STAFF BACK IN THE FOLD Headlined by junior left-hander Eric Jokisch, Northwestern returns a solid nucleus to the mound in 2010. The 2008 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, Jokisch is coming off a solid summer that saw him be named an all-star in the prestigious Cape Cod League. Senior left-handers Joe Muraski and David Jensen also return to the ’Cats as projected starters. Muraski led all Wildcats with 65 strikeouts last season, while Jensen paced the team with 20 appearances. A pair of sophomores lead the way in the bullpen. Michael Jahns, who could also move into a starting role, led the squad with a 3.56 ERA in 17 appearances in 2009. Meanwhile, Francis Brooke finished right behind Jahns with a 3.68 ERA. Zach Morton made 12 starts as a freshman a year ago, but is expected to move to the bullpen while spending the majority of his time at shortstop.

Yet another sophomore, Paul Snieder, is slated to join Morton in late-game situations. Other returners also figuring into the mix are juniors Matt Gailey and Cole Livermore. FRESHMEN IN LINE TO CONTRIBUTE Northwestern welcomes four freshmen to this year’s squad. Arby Fields is slated to hold down center field, while Colby Everett is expected to see time at both third and second base. Jack Havey, brother of 2009 graduate Matt Havey, will see time at both first base and on the mound. Fellow right-hander Luke Ferrell also will add depth to the pitching staff. DOUBLE DUTY Northwestern’s roster features two individuals who are also key members of the Wildcats’ football team which went 8-5 and participated in the Outback Bowl this past season. Sophomore outfielder Quentin Williams appeared in all 13 games on the gridiron this past fall as a defensive end, posting 14 tackles with an interception and a fumble recovery. True freshman outfielder Arby Fields also appeared in every game as a running back and led the team with 302 rushing yards to go along with five touchdowns. REPLACING THE CLASS OF 2009 In addition to losing junior Jake Goebbert, a 13th-round draft pick of the Houston Astros, the Wildcats must also replace six graduated seniors. Notable losses are Tommy Finn, a four-year starter at shortstop, and Tony Vercelli who paced the team with 11 home runs and 40 RBI a year ago. MAJOR LEAGUE EXPERIENCE The Wildcats had the good fortune of playing games at two Major League Baseball parks a year ago. That will be the case again this season. In 2009, Northwestern took on Minnesota in the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome. The ’Cats return to the Metrodome March 5-7 to participate in the Dairy Queen Classic at the now former home of the Minnesota Twins. NU also faced off against Notre

Junior left-hander ERIC JOKISCH, the 2008 Big Ten Freshman of the Year, was selected to the all-star team in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League this past summer.

Dame at U.S. Cellular Field (Chicago White Sox) last season and this year is playing a doubleheader against the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee at Miller Park April 28. The twinbill follows a game between the host Milwaukee Brewers and the Pittsburgh Pirates. BIG TEN TOURNEY RETURNS TO COLUMBUS For the second consecutive year, the Big Ten tournament is being held in Columbus, Ohio. Last year, the tournament was held at the brand-new Huntington Park, the home of the Triple-A Columbus Clippers. The tournament makes the move to Bill James Stadium this season, the home of the Ohio State Buckeyes, and is slated to be held May 26-30.

P

aul Stevens is in his 23rd season as Northwestern’s head baseball coach and 26th overall in a Wildcat uniform. Already tops on Northwestern’s all-time coaches wins list, Stevens reached win number 500 in stellar fashion. After leading NU to its best-ever finish in Big Ten play (21-11) in 2006, Stevens entered the Big Ten’s postseason tournament with 499 wins. Following a first-round bye and a loss to Ohio State, the secondseeded Wildcats defeated sixth-seeded Purdue 8-4, giving Stevens his illustrious 500th win. Stevens had tallied his 400th win at the beginning of the 2003 season, when the Wildcats defeated Southern Mississippi 5-1 on Feb. 22. Along with winning No. 500, Stevens also coached in his 1,000th game during the 2006 season. In his career, he has coached 1,153 games, 452 more than George McKinnon (701), who coached from 1962-81. In his 22-year tenure as head coach, the Wildcats enjoyed 15-straight 20-win seasons and have reached the 30-win mark on three different occasions. NU has won 20 games in 19 of those years and compiled a 236-180 home record. In 2008, NU went 11-9 at home making it six out of the last seven seasons that it posted a winning record at Rocky Miller Park in Evanston. Stevens has tutored individuals to a total of 73 All-Big Ten honors during his time as head coach, including J.A. Happ who was a three-time first-team selection from 2002-04. Two players have been named Big Ten Freshman of the Year—Jeremy Kurella (1998) and Eric Jokisch (2008)— and two others have been named Big Ten Pitcher of the Year—Chad Schroeder (1995) and Dan Brauer (2006).

head coach paul stevens At Northwestern, Stevens has compiled a 539-609-5 overall record and a 259-349-1 mark in Big Ten Conference games. On April 11, 1999, he became the school’s all-time winningest coach when the Wildcats defeated Illinois, 9-6, for his 305th victory. Stevens supplanted George McKinnon, who went 304-391-6 as the Wildcats’ skipper. Stevens was named head coach in October of 1987 and led the Wildcats to a 28-28 record in his first season. His 1989 Wildcats compiled an outstanding 14-4-2 home record and were in the running for a Big Ten Tournament berth until the final day of the season. A total of 56 players have been drafted or signed by a Major League club during Stevens’ tenure. Prior to taking over the head coaching duties, Stevens served as a Wildcat assistant for three seasons under former head coaches Ron Wellman (1985-86) and Larry Cochell (1987). Prior to joining the Wildcat staff, Stevens was a scout for the New York Mets. Before joining the scouting ranks, he played three years in the Kansas City Royals’ organization and two seasons in the Oakland Athletics’ farm system as a second baseman/shortstop. Stevens also played one season with the Athletics’ Triple-A club in Ogden, Utah. In 1979, he was named to the Topps All-Minor League Team. Coming out of college, Stevens was drafted by the Kansas City Royals following an outstanding career at Lewis University. At Lewis, he was named to the NAIA All-America squad in 1976. Stevens led Lewis to the 1975 and 1976 NAIA Championships and was named to the alltournament squad both years. He was presented the Charlie Hustle Award at the 1975 tournament and earned a Golden Glove Award the following season. Elected to the Lewis Sports Hall of Fame in 1988, Stevens ended his career with a .346 batting average. In 1975, following his junior season at Lewis, Stevens played for the United States in the Pan American Games in Mexico City, helping the squad to a silver medal. He also played on a U.S. team that toured the Orient that same year. In 2001, Stevens enjoyed his second tour of duty with the National Team, this time as an assistant coach. The team was made up of collegiate all-stars who played 29 games in 40 days, compiling a 22-7 record which included a 12-game winning streak. The Red, White and Blue Tour spanned two continents, two countries and 10 different U.S. states. Stevens is a native of Oak Lawn, Ill., graduating from Luther South High School in 1972. He played for two years under former major league great Eddie Stanky at South Alabama before transferring to Lewis. Stevens, 55, graduated from Lewis in 1976 with a bachelor’s degree in elected sciences. He and his wife, Kenan, live in Glenview with their children Trevor (20, a sophomore infielder at Northwestern), Cody (18, signed to play for the Wildcats in 2011) and Kara (14).

JOHN MIKRUT

Assistant Coach 17th Season

Assistant Coach First Season

im Stoddard, the only man in history who earned World Series and NCAA Championship rings as an athlete, is in his 17th season with the Wildcats coaching staff. He works primarily with the pitchers. With an already impressive list of Hall of Fame inductions already under his belt—including the College Basketball Hall of Fame—Stoddard was honored by the Indiana Baseball Hall of Fame in January of 2006. Stoddard enjoyed an unbelievable baseball career and has won a championship on every level of competitive baseball he has ever played. As NU’s pitching coach, the Wildcats have claimed two Big Ten ERA titles, the most recent in 2003. The Wildcat pitching staff had the lowest ERA in both overall and conference games. NU ended 2003 with a 3.61 conference ERA and a 3.99 overall ERA. NU claimed its first Big Ten ERA title in 1995 with a 3.08 ERA in conference games. In addition, 12 of his pitchers have been selected in the MLB free agent draft—the most recent were George Kontos and Dan Brauer in 2006. Kontos was chosen in the fifth round by the New York Yankees and Brauer was taken in the sixth round by the Philadelphia Phillies. Lefty J.A. Happ was selected in 2004 and is NU’s only three-time first-team All-Big Ten recipient in school history. He was a third-round choice of the Philadelphia Phillies and was on the squad’s roster when it won the 2008 World Series. Happ was also named Sporting News’ National League Rookie of the Year in 2009. In 2008, Stoddard tutored southpaw Eric Jokisch to Big Ten Freshman-of-the-Year honors and an 8-2 record. The eight victories are the most ever by a Northwestern freshman. Stoddard pitched in the major leagues from 1975-88. He played with the Chicago White Sox, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago Cubs, San Diego Padres and New York Yankees. Working mostly in relief, Stoddard compiled a 41-35-career record with a 3.95 ERA, 582 strikeouts and 76 saves in 485 games. The right-hander played in the 1979 World Series with the Orioles and was the winning pitcher in Game 4. He also was a member of the 1983 World Champion Orioles and 1984 National League East champion Cubs. Stoddard attended North Carolina State from 1971-75, playing baseball and basketball. He was a starting forward for the Wolfpack’s 1974 NCAA championship basketball team, and also helped N.C. State win consecutive ACC baseball titles from 1973-75. Prior to his collegiate days, Stoddard was part of Washington High School’s Indiana state championship team (29-0) in 1971. Stoddard, 57, resides in Rolling Meadows, Ill. He has three daughters: Laura, 33, Anne, 31, and Ellen, 26.

on Mikrut returns to NU as an assistant coach for the 2010 season. Mikrut was a standout as both a shortstop and a pitcher during his time at Northwestern, including earning third-team All-Big Ten accolades as an infielder during his sophomore year. His name can be found littered across the Northwestern career record book as he ranks first all-time in at-bats (788), second in games played (212) and saves (16), third in triples (11) and total bases (365), fourth in doubles (44) and sixth in hits (233). A native of Wauconda, Ill., Mikrut was voted by his teammates as Co-Freshman of Year in 2002 and hit a team-best .317 the following year during his All-Big Ten campaign. Doubling as the team’s closer, his 16 career saves came over his first three seasons in a Wildcat uniform. Following his collegiate career, Mikrut signed a professional contract with the St. Louis Cardinals’ organization. He competed as both a position player and a pitcher for four seasons and advanced to the Double A level. Mikrut played in the 2006 Midwest League All-Star Game as a pitcher for the Swing of the Quad Cities and was also selected to the 2008 Florida State League All-Star Game. He has six years of coaching experience as a baseball instructor at the Libertyville (Ill.) Sports Complex as well as recently serving as the head sophomore baseball coach at Carmel Catholic High School in Mundelein, Ill. Mikrut graduated from Northwestern University in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in learning and organizational change from the School of Education and Social Policy.

oe Girardi is the most decorated baseball player in school history. A 1986 graduate, Girardi was an ABCA AllAmerican, a two-time first-team All-Big Ten selection and was named a CoSIDA Academic All-American three times during his time at Northwestern. He ranks third on the NU career lists for doubles, walks and runs batted in, fourth in total bases, fifth in home runs, seventh in hits and ninth in batting average. He went on to play 15 seasons of Major League Baseball with the Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies, New York Yankess and St. Louis Cardinals. A 2000 All-Star selection while with the Cubs, Girardi earned three World Series rings during his time with the Yankees. Following his playing career, Girardi was named the 2006 National League Manager of the Year after his first and only season at the helm of the Florida Marlins. He is currently the manager of the New York Yankees and led the team to the 2009 World Series title.

Pictured with ESPN college basketball analyst Steve Lavin, Girardi earned one of the top honors a student-athlete can receive when he was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame in 2007.

In October of 2009, Joe Girardi guided the New York Yankees to their MLB-record 27th World Series title.

rocky miller park T

he 2010 season marks the 52st year of Rocky Miller Park and the 27th season since its rededication. Northwestern baseball has been played at the site of Rocky Miller Park at Wells Field since 1943, but it was not until 1958 that the University formally dedicated the park. The area is named after Harry L. Wells, a former vice president and business manager at Northwestern. A 1913 graduate of NU, Wells served the University for 20 years before retiring in 1954. Long the home of Northwestern baseball, Rocky Miller Park underwent renovation in 1983 and was rededicated during ceremonies in May of 1984. Rocky Miller Park features 600 stadium seats, a press box, as well as an electronic scoreboard. The Wildcats’ attraction to their stadium goes beyond its beauty and utility; the team seems to play better there as well. Since the 1984 rededication, NU has posted a 311-216-3 (.590) record at Rocky Miller.

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 rad u 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.

university president morton Schapiro M

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

54

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. He received his bachelor’s degree in economics from Hofstra University in 1975 and his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania in 1979. President Schapiro and his wife Mimi have three children: Matt, Alissa and Rachel.

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.

he Ron Burton Academic Advising Center, the focal point of Harold Anderson Hall, occupies an entire wing of the new building completed in June of 2005. The building came at a cost of $9.5 million and stands at the northeast corner of Ryan Field with 8,000 square feet of additional space devoted to studentathlete academic advising. Computers, crucial for all student work these days, are at the center’s core. In addition to constructing an area that meets the technological needs of the 21st century, the new building provides space for more than two dozen computers for student-athletes’ use. The Burton Center also optimizes office space for academic advisors and includes several meeting rooms, which enable the academic services department to host speakers and job recruiters. The Burton Center honors one of Northwestern’s football legends. Burton, who passed away in 2003 at the age of 67, was a first-team All-America halfback in 1959 and twice earned first-team All-Big Ten. He is also enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Ind. All five of Ron and JoAnn Burton’s children attended NU, including four boys who all played football for the ’Cats: Steve ’85, Ron Jr. ’88, Phil ’94 and Paul ’96. Elizabeth ’85, their daughter, is an NU alum as well. For 51 years of involvement with Northwestern athletics, the new wrestling facility—part of the new Anderson Hall renovation—is named in honor of Ken Kraft. Kraft, who retired as senior associate athletic director at NU in 2004, earned four letters with the Wildcat wrestling squad and served as head coach for 22 years.

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.

northwestern university institutional purpose and athletics philosophy Intercollegiate athletics have long been an integral and visible aspect of Northwestern University life. The success of the athletic program is not measured solely by wins and losses. Rather, success in intercollegiate athletics at Northwestern University is inextricably linked to the educational mission of the University, especially with regard to the academic and personal development of student-athletes and the institution’s commitment to honoring the highest standards of amateur competition. Northwestern associates success in its athletic program with the welfare of its student participants. A truly effective athletic program produces student-athletes who succeed in their academic work as well as in their chosen sport and whose careers after graduation are a tribute both to them and their university. The educational aspects of athletics, which include the opportunity to exercise leadership, to develop the ability to work with others as a team, to accept and appreciate the discipline of sustained practice and training, and to realize the value of good sportsmanship, are at least as important as the physical aspects. The student-athlete concept is the guiding principle of Northwestern University’s participation in Division I athletics. The University’s goal is for student-athletes to receive a high-quality experience both in the classroom and on the playing field. To ensure that this goal is met, Northwestern University offers its student-athletes a comprehensive system of services and resources, including excellent athletic and recreational facilities, highquality coaching, academic counseling and assistance, first-rate medical

care, and highly competitive athletic programs. At Northwestern, athletic competition is an integral part of the education process; athletic participation enhances the intellectual, social and personal development of studentathletes. In pursuing its mission—the highest order of excellence in its academic and professional programs—Northwestern University gives special emphasis to high-quality undergraduate education; research committed to institutional leadership in scientific discovery, intellectual inquiry, and creative performance; and a commitment to serve society through teaching as well as research. Northwestern is unique among private American research universities in providing so rich an array of programs in its six undergraduate schools. Its talented and highly diverse student body enters Northwestern with a broad range of interests and backgrounds. As both the talent and the diversity of undergraduate students increase, the University must also ensure that students feel part of a learning community larger than their departments or schools. All Northwestern undergraduates should enjoy such common experiences as a sense of responsibility for the ownership of their education; the opportunity to work closely with faculty; the mastery of core competencies; the appreciation of the relationship between a student’s academic concentration and that field’s social and academic or artistic contexts; and the development of the intellectual and artistic passion that defines, in part, the liberally educated person.
