Jennifer Head coach Fourth year at UNCG Career/UNCG record: 72-112 Charlotte, 2001
Jennifer Herzig begins her fourth season as the head coach of the UNC Greensboro softball program. Herzig was appointed by UNCG Director of Athletics Nelson E. Bobb on July 20, 2005. “I am very excited for the opportunity to coach at UNC Greensboro and become a member of the Spartan Athletics family,” said Herzig when named to the post. “First and foremost, my goal is to build a complete program that will know success on the field as well as in the classroom. I am eager to begin working with such a solid core of returning players as well as the incoming recruits.” The Manassas, VA, native has a 72-112 record after three years at the helm of the program. In her tenure, the Spartans have upset the top-seeded team in the Southern Conference Tournament each year, becoming the first No. 8 seed to beat a No. 1 seed in tournament action in consecutive seasons, and have advanced to the winners’ bracket of the tournament for the first time in school history. Herzig is the only coach in UNCG history to win two games at the league tournament in multiple years. The 2008 season saw Herzig’s UNCG squad post a fifth-place finish in the SoCon, the Spartans’ best showing since 2005. UNCG won its first two games at the league tournament, beating fourth-seeded Elon before knocking off top seed Chattanooga to advance to the winners’ bracket for the first time since joining the league for the 1998 season. Herzig’s players took home several honors before, during and after the season, with senior Mary Greenway taking All-Southern Conference First Team honors for the second season in a row. Greenway, Leslie Furness and Brittany Ausley all earned spots on the Preseason All-Southern Conference First Team, while pitchers Hannah Angel and Amber Harrell took home SoCon awards during the season, with Angel earning a Pitcher of the Week nod on May 5 and Harrell nabbing Pitcher of the Month honors for February. Angel was named to the SoCon All-Tournament Team after UNCG’s run. The Spartans also excelled in the classroom during the 2008 season, with six players earning NFCA Scholar-Athlete status and the team earning All-Academic team standing for the school year. Three players – Greenway, Whitney Sirois and Lyndsay Mouse – were named Academic All-Southern Conference. One of the highlights of Herzig’s tenure came when the Spartans hosted an exhibition against Team USA during USA Softball’s “Bound 4 Beijing” tour in April 2008. Played in the UNCG Softball Stadium, which underwent a $3.5 million reconstruction and re-opened prior to the 2006 season, the Spartans faced Jennie Finch and Team USA prior to their Olympic silver-medal run. During the 2007 season, the Spartans advanced to the championship game of the Winthrop/adidas Invitational and Harrell was named to the all-tournament team for her efforts throughout the weekend. Greenway earned All-Southern Conference First Team honors while senior shortstop Adriane Audley earned second team honors. The selection of two players marked the first time since the 2000 season that UNCG had placed more than one player on the all-conference team. The Spartans also hosted the Southern Conference Tournament in 2007, downing the top-seeded Lady Mocs in the first round and winning two games at the tournament for just the second time in school history and first time since 2000. In her brief tenure in Greensboro, Herzig has coached some of the most accomplished players in school history. Greenway, a junior college transfer that played just two seasons at UNCG, graduated second on the Spartans’ career steals list, setting the single-season record in each of her two years on the roster. Angel and Harrell, still active players, both appear in UNCG’s top 10 in career wins, strikeouts and shutouts. The duo also turned in the second- and third-best single-season strikeout totals, respectively, in school history in 2008. A 2001 graduate of Charlotte, Herzig served as an assistant coach during the 2004 and 2005 seasons at her alma mater under head coach Aimee DeVos. With the 49ers, Herzig assisted in all aspects of recruiting and other daily operations of the program, with an emphasis on working with the Charlotte hitters, infielders and catchers. During her playing career, Herzig was honored for her work in the classroom repeatedly, earning two Conference USA Academic Medals (2000-2001) and NFCA Scholar-Athlete honors in each of her four years (1998-2001). She was a four-year letterwinner as a catcher for the 49ers. Herzig graduated cum laude from Charlotte with a bachelor of arts degree in criminal justice and a bachelor of science degree in psychology. She earned her master’s degree in physical education and sport management from East Tennessee State in 2003, where she spent two seasons as an assistant coach. She served as the program’s interim head coach during the fall of 2002. In addition to her work as a player and coach, Herzig has served as a counselor at numerous softball camps at universities up and down the East Coast, including Florida State, Ohio State, Georgia, North Carolina and Furman.

Former UNCG standout Vanessa Oakes enters her first season as an assistant coach for the Spartans. Oakes, who pitched for UNCG from 2004-07, graduated as the Spartans’ career leader in strikeouts with 565 – 149 more than any other player in school history. As a senior in 2007, Oakes led the Spartans in just about every pitching category, ranking first in ERA (2.35), opposing batting average (.230), wins (14), innings pitched (187.1), strikeouts (166), games started (28), complete games (21) and shutouts (six). Oakes earned a pair of Southern Conference honors her senior year, as she was named the SoCon Pitcher of the Week on March 5, 2007, and earned a spot on the SoCon All-Tournament Team after pitching every inning of the Spartans’ four games at the tournament. Oakes led or shared the lead in wins and strikeouts each season she was in the circle for the Spartans. As a freshman, Oakes was named MVP of the Wilmington Classic Tournament and followed that up by being named team captain in just her sophomore season. Oakes ranks among the top UNCG pitchers in program history, as she appears in the top 10 of seven career categories and six single-season categories. For the last four years, Oakes has worked as a pitching, hitting, fielding and catching instructor throughout Greensboro and the Triad area. She has served as the primary pitching instructor to the Triad Power U10-U18 teams and acted as the pitching consultant to the Northeast High School (Greensboro) junior varsity team.
Janine Sprague begins her third year as an assistant at UNC Greensboro in 2009, moving from volunteer to part-time status. Sprague, a Hillsborough NC, native, arrived at UNCG by way of East Tennessee State University, where she starred for four seasons in the Buccaneer outfield. Sprague, who earned Southern Conference Player of the Year honors during her junior season, made her mark on the ETSU record books during her career. She broke six single-season hitting records during her tenure. Sprague holds ETSU records in batting average (.358), slugging percentage (.557), on-base percentage (.398), hits (70), doubles (18), triples (six) and total bases (112). She also became the first-ever Buccaneer to earn allregion honors during the 2005 season when she was named to the All-South Region second team. During the 2004 season, Sprague led the Buccaneers in every offensive category and was selected as a member of the All-Southern Conference second team. She compiled 40 putouts and only one error, giving her one of the top defensive marks on the team with a .979 fielding average. Sprague also tallied 18 doubles and six triples during the season. In her freshman campaign, she earned first team All-Southern Conference honors after setting team single-season records in batting average (.327), on-base percentage (.417), runs (33), hits (53) and tying the single season mark in walks (24). She was the only freshman to start in all 54 of the Buccaneers’ games. Sprague will work with the Spartan outfielders and hitters.

The Southern Conference, which began its 88th season of intercollegiate competition in 2008, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984) and becoming the first conference to install the 3-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The Conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, SC. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932, at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. According to the minutes of the meeting, Dr. Sanford stated that the division was made along geographical lines. Florida’s Dr. J.J. Tigert, acting as spokesman for the with-
drawing group, regretted the move but believed it was necessary as the Southern Conference had grown too large. The resignations were accepted and the withdrawing schools formed the new league, which began play in 1932. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference, which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. John Iamarino was officially named commissioner of the conference on January 2, 2006. Iamarino has promoted the Southern Conference through an ambitious agenda which has improved competition, upgraded compliance-related matters and increased the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions. The Southern Conference named its first commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the first person at the helm of the conference. Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. In 1987, he was succeeded by Dave Hart who spearheaded the transfer of the league office from Charlotte, NC, to Asheville, NC. Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA office, introduced the current conference logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. Danny Morrison headed the conference from 20012005 and orchestrated the league’s move from Asheville, NC, to Spartanburg, SC. Under Morrison’s leadership, the conference increased its marketing and promotional efforts. The first Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the first recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball. Commissioner Germann spearheaded the Southern Conference’s expansion to include women’s athletics during the 1983-84 season. That year, league championships were held in volleyball, basketball and tennis. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994. The Germann Cup, named in honor of the former commissioner, annually recognizes the top women’s athletics programs in the conference. From its humble beginnings, women’s athletics have become an integral part of the Southern Conference and its success.

John Iamarino Commissioner www.soconsports.com The Southern Conference declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf and softball. The Southern Conference has also excelled as the premier Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) conference. Southern Conference member Appalachian State won three straight FCS titles from 2005-07, becoming the first team to do so. The league boasts more than 250 players who have garnered All-America recognition and numerous national player or coach of the year awards. The conference has had at least one team in the Top 10 of the final FCS poll for 24 consecutive years with at least two teams finishing in the Top 20 in every season since 1982. In 2007, Appalachian State became the first FCS team to defeat a nationally ranked Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team when the Mountaineers defeated No. 5-ranked Michigan, 34-32, on Sept. 1 before a sellout crowd at Michigan Stadium. Prior to the conference’s reclassification in 1981, Southern Conference football teams appeared in a total of 34 bowl games, posting a record of 16-17-2. There are nearly 40 former Southern Conference players in the College Football Hall of Fame. One of the most recognizable of these names is former North Carolina running back Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice who helped guide North Carolina to three bowl appearances. He was a first team All-America selection in 1948 and 1949. In 1949, Justice earned first team all-conference honors for the fourth consecutive season, becoming the first player in league history to achieve that feat. Another of the league’s football products that made it to the College Football Hall of Fame is Sam Huff of West Virginia. Huff was a three-year starter on both the offensive and defensive lines for the Mountaineers. In 1955, Huff earned first team All-America honors on the field and was a first team Academic All-America for his work in the classroom. He played 12 seasons in the National Football League for the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins. He was a five-time All-Pro defensive lineman and is also a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In recent years, the Southern Conference has continued to produce outstanding student-athletes. In 1999, Georgia Southern’s Adrian Peterson captured the Walter Payton Award presented annually to the Football Championship Subdivision’s most outstanding offensive player. Furman’s Louis Ivory was awarded the honor in 2000 and Georgia Southern’s Jayson Foster was presented with the 2007 trophy. Men’s basketball was the first sport in which the conference held a championship. The league tournament is the nation’s oldest, with the inaugural championship held at Atlanta’s City Auditorium in 1922 and won by North Carolina. Not only was the Southern Conference Tournament the first of its kind, the league also helped change the face of college basketball. In 1980, the league began a seasonlong experiment with a 22-foot 3-point field goal with the approval of the NCAA Rules Committee. Ronnie Carr of Western Carolina made the first 3-point field goal in college basketball history in a game against Middle Tennessee State on Nov. 29, 1980. Another college basketball tradition that originated in the Southern Conference is the traditional cutting of the nets by the winning team. According to USA Today, the

* Regular-season champion ! Tournament champion practice of net cutting originated in 1947 with North Carolina State head coach Everett Case. As a first-year head coach, Case led the Wolfpack to the Southern Conference Tournament title. Case celebrated by claiming the nets as a souvenir of the win to commemorate the event. Basketball coaching legend Red Auerbach gives credit to former George Washington coach Bill Reinhart, who coached in the conference for nearly 30 years, as one of the originators of the modern fast-break. Women’s basketball competition began in the Southern Conference in 1983-84 with seven teams. In the sport’s history, seven schools have won the league’s tournament at least once with Chattanooga winning 12 and Appalachian State owning six titles. UNC Greensboro won the 1998 tournament as head coach Lynne Agee became the first coach to take a team to the NCAA Tournament in all three Divisions - I, II and III. In 2001, Chattanooga head coach Wes Moore became the first coach in NCAA history to take three different teams to the NCAA Tournament in all three Divisions. In baseball, Wake Forest advanced to the championship game of the NCAA College World Series in 1949. Demon Deacon second baseman Charles Teague was named the College World Series Most Valuable Player. The Citadel made history in 1990 by becoming the first military school to make an appearance at the College World Series. The Bulldogs were joined that season at the College World Series by current conference member Georgia Southern. One of the Southern Conference’s more famous baseball alums is Duke’s Dick Groat. The Blue Devil shortstop, who was also a basketball standout, was the conference’s Athlete of the Year in 1951 and 1952. He went on to a 14-year career in the major leagues. In 1960, he was named the National League MVP after he led the league in batting with a .325 average for the World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates. Among Southern Conference alums to grace Major League Baseball fields have been Atlee Hammaker (East Tennessee State), Jeff Montgomery (Marshall) and Mike Ramsey (Appalachian State). Other SoCon players to go on to a career in the major leagues include Angels third baseman Dallas McPherson (The Citadel), pitchers Britt Reames (The Citadel) and Ryan Glynn (VMI) who both pitched with Oakland in 2005, Furman’s Tom Mastny, a pitcher with the Cleveland Indians (2007) and Georgia Southern’s Brian Rogers, who pitched with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2007. Arnold Palmer, perhaps the world’s most famous golfer, competed under the Southern Conference banner as a collegian at Wake Forest. He took medalist honors at the Southern Conference Tournament in 1948 and 1949 and was the tournament’s runner-up in 1950. Palmer was the medalist at the NCAA Golf Championships in 1949 and 1950. He went on to become one of the most accomplished golfers to play on the professional tour. Palmer won 60 tournaments while competing on the PGA Tour and has added 10 more victories as a member of the Senior PGA Tour. He has also won eight major championships - four Masters, two British Opens, one U.S. Open and one U.S. Amateur.
Furman golfer Dottie Pepper was named the Southern Conference Women’s Athlete of the Decade in the 1980s and was honored as part of the league’s 25th anniversary of women’s championships celebration in 2007-08. Appalachian State’s Mary Jayne Harrelson won the NCAA Outdoor title at 1,500 meters in 1999 and 2001. Furman’s Brandi Jackson won the NCAA Women’s Golf East Regional in the spring of 2003. The Southern Conference has also been a breeding ground for some of college athletics’ most recognized coaches and administrators. Legendary basketball coaches Adolph Rupp of Kentucky and Everett Case of North Carolina State both worked the sidelines in the Southern Conference. Rupp guided the Wildcats to a 30-5 mark during the 1931 and 1932 seasons. Yet, for all his coaching accomplishments, Rupp never led Kentucky to a Southern Conference tournament championship. Case mentored the Wolfpack to six consecutive Southern Conference Tournament championships from 1947 through 1952. Lefty Driesell coached Davidson to three Southern Conference Tournament championships in 1966, 1968 and 1969. Driesell also won the league’s Coach of the Year award four straight times from 1963 through 1966. Former Georgia Tech coach Bobby Cremins earned league Coach of the Year honors three times in the late ’70s and early ’80s while at Appalachian State and is now the head coach at the College of Charleston. Terry Holland saw his basketball coaching career take off at Davidson when he returned to his alma mater in 1970. Holland was honored as the Southern Conference Coach of the Year for three consecutive seasons from 1970-72 and led the Wildcats to the conference tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 1970. J. Dallas Shirley, a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, spent 21 years as the assistant to the commissioner and supervisor of officials in the Southern Conference. He also served as president of the International Association Basketball Officials and the United States Olympic Basketball Committee. The legendary Paul “Bear” Bryant got his coaching start in the Southern Conference as he guided the Maryland Terrapins in 1945. A legendary Southern Conference football coach is the late Frank Howard of Clemson, who guided the Tigers as a league member from 1940-52. The incomparable Howard won 69 Southern Conference games. The Southern Conference has been represented on the sidelines at five Super Bowls in recent years. Bobby Ross, who piloted the San Diego Chargers to the 1996 Super Bowl, was the head coach at The Citadel from 1973-77. Former Buffalo Bills head coach Marv Levy directed William & Mary from 1964-68. He was succeeded at William & Mary by Lou Holtz. William & Mary competed in the Southern Conference from 1936-77.

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro was first chartered back on February 18, 1891 at the State Normal and Industrial School. It was the first state-supported school for the higher education of women in North Carolina. Founded by Charles Duncan McIver, it became co-educational in 1963. Today, in its 116th year of existance, the campus covers 210 acres in downtown Greensboro and has an enrollment that exceeds 17,000 for the first time ever. For fall 2007, 17,467 students were enrolled, including 13,453 undergraduates.
Charles Duncan McIver, founder of the State Normal and Industrial School (now UNCG), decided Minerva, goddess of Wisdom and Women’s Arts, would be a good symbol for the school. Beginning with the first diploma in 1893, the head of Minerva has appeared on every diploma awarded by the institution. The class of 1907 donated the original Minerva statue - made of plaster - to the University. In 2003, the class of 1953 commissioned for a replacement, made of bronze, and placed outside the Elliott University Center in the heart of campus.
Founded in 1891, UNCG is a diverse, studentcentered research university, linking the Triad and North Carolina to the world through learning, discovery and service. The university is organized into a College of Arts & Sciences and six professional schools, with more than 1,000 faculty members teaching in programs that offer 86 undergraduate, 56 master’s and 25 doctoral degrees. Among its high-impact projects are the Gateway University Research Park and the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, which are being created in partnership with North Carolina A&T.

UNCG’s School of Nursing, which was established in 1966, is the largest in North Carolina. It has three departments – Adult Health, Parent-Child and Community Practice – and is recognized for the excellence of its programs and the success of its graduates. The master’s program in nurse anesthesia was ranked eighth nationally by U.S. News and World Report. In addition, UNCG is the first institution in the UNC system to offer a combined Master of Science in Nursing and Master of Business Administration in health management.
Despite record numbers for enrollment, UNCG still enjoys a studentfaculty ratio of 17:1 with a faculty totalling 1,080. More than 2,000 bachelor’s degrees and nearly 1,000 master’s and doctoral diplomas are awarded annually. Over the last several years, 75 percent of freshmen have returned the following year.
UNCG has long had a reputation for academic excellence and student-athletes at UNCG are not an exception to the rule. At the end of each of the last three academic years, more than 40% of UNCG student-athletes held a grade-point-average of 3.0 or better. In 2007-08, 105 of 230 student-athletes had a 3.0 GPA or better for the academic year.
The School of Music, which was established in 1921, is rated as one of the Top 20 in the country and combines rigorous theory, history, and performance training with a broad liberal arts education. Pictured above, the University opened a $25.7 million state-of-the-art music facility in 1999. It is the only comprehensive slate of performance and music education degrees from the baccalaureate through the doctorate in North Carolina.
The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is a diverse, student-centered research university, linking the Triad and North Carolina to the world through learning, discovery, and service. As a doctorate-granting institution, it is committed to teaching based in scholarship and advancing knowledge through research. The College of Arts and Sciences and six professional schools offer challenging graduate and undergraduate programs in which students are mentored by outstanding teachers, including nationally and internationally recognized researchers and artists. Affirming the liberal arts as the foundation for lifelong learning, the university provides exemplary learning environments on campus and through distance education so that students can acquire knowledge, develop intellectual skills, and become more thoughtful and responsible members of a global society. Co-curricular, residential, and other programs contribute to students’ social, aesthetic, and ethical development. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is a community in which people of any racial or ethnic identity, age, or background can achieve an informed appreciation of their own and different cultures. It is a community of actively engaged students, faculty, staff, and alumni founded on open dialogue, shared responsibility, and respect for the distinct contributions of each member.
Dr. Linda P. Brady, formerly the senior vice president and provost at the University of Oregon, became the 10th chancellor of UNCG this past summer. She assumed her duties Aug. 1, 2008. Dr. Brady was elected Chancellor of the institution by the Board of Governors of the multicampus University of North Carolina on June 12. Dr. Brady, 60, succeeded Dr. Patricia A. Sullivan, UNCG’s first woman chancellor, who announced her retirement last December after almost 14 years in the post. In recommending Dr. Brady to the Board of Governors, UNC system president Erskine Bowles said, “Over the past 25 years, Linda Brady has accumulated a wealth of leadership experience at highly respected public, urban universities, as well as in the halls of Washington. At each step along the way, she has proven herself to be an energetic leader who promotes collaboration, creative problem-solving, and real-life commitment to scholarship, research, and public service. “She is no stranger to North Carolina or this University system – having served for five years as dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at North Carolina State University – so we consider this a homecoming of sorts. With her broad experience in higher education and federal government, her demonstrated integrity and sound judgment, and her profound understanding of the global marketplace in which our students must compete, Linda Brady will be a forceful and effective leader for UNC Greensboro. We are delighted to bring her back to North Carolina.” In accepting the position, Dr. Brady said, “This is one of the very best jobs in American higher education. I am so grateful for this opportunity and humbled by the trust you have placed in me. I shall not let you down.” As senior vice president and provost at Oregon, Dr. Brady was the university’s chief academic and operating officer. In that role, she was responsible for all aspects of UO’s academic mission, including academic affairs, research and graduate studies, student affairs, institutional equity and diversity, international affairs, finance and administration, and information services. A native of New York City and the first member of her family to attend college, Dr. Brady graduated from Douglass College, the women’s division of Rutgers University, in 1969 with a degree in political science. She received a master’s degree in the field from Rutgers (1970) and a doctorate in political science from Ohio State University (1974). She began her academic career as an assistant professor of political science at Vanderbilt University in 1973 and joined the faculty at Goucher College in Maryland three years later. From 1978 to 1985, Dr. Brady held several positions in the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Defense. Among other roles, she served as a political analyst in the State Department’s Office of Disarmament and Arms Control and as special assistant for mutual and balanced force reductions in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. She later served as a senior fellow in international security and arms control at the Carter Center of Emory University (1986-87) and as a distinguished professor of national security at the U.S. Military Academy (1991-92). From 1993 to 2001, Dr. Brady led the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where she was also a professor of international affairs. She joined North Carolina State University in 2001 as Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and professor of politi-
cal science, and over the next five years was credited with building the stature and visibility of the College, launching a number of new graduate degree programs, and significantly increasing external support for the humanities and social sciences at NC State. She left North Carolina in 2006 to become the chief academic and operating officer at the University of Oregon. Dr. Brady has authored or co-edited three books and numerous book chapters and scholarly articles in the fields of American foreign policy, international negotiation, and arms control. Among other professional organizations, she is a member of the International Studies Association, the American Political Science Association, the International Institute for Strategic Studies, and the Council on Foreign Relations. A past recipient of the Georgia Tech School of Social Sciences Teaching Award, she has earned the Superior Honor Award from the U.S. Department of State and is a two-time recipient of the Outstanding Civilian Service Medal from the Department of the Army. She was an American Council on Education Fellow in 1997-98, serving her fellowship year at the University of Iowa under the mentorship of President Mary Sue Coleman and provost Jon Whitmore. Dr. Brady is married to Gustav “Steve” Heyer, a retired Army officer. She has two adult stepsons and three grandchildren.
In his 26th year as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at UNCG, Nelson E. Bobb has developed a nationally recognized program that has continually succeeded in competition as well as in the classroom. Bobb, the first fulltime athletic director at the University, is the primar y architect of a program that now features 16 NCAA Division I teams, eight for men and eight for women. Last year, he was named to NACDA’s NCAA Division I-AAA Executive Committee as an at-large member. When he arrived in July 1983, there were eight teams competing on the Division III level. The University authorized the shift to Division I in February 1987 and he guided the program through the unprecedented change in competitive status in only five years. UNCG is one of only a dozen institutions to ever compete in all three divisions. However, no other institution has made the complete shift of all teams from Division III to Division I in that time frame. During his tenure, he has watched over the construction or renovation of all of the Spartans’ athletic venues. He began that process by serving on the committee that built Fleming Gymnasium and the HHP Building in 1989. He then moved onto the transformation of Campus Field in 1991 into what is today UNCG Soccer Stadium – one of the premier venues in all of college soccer. In 1999, he oversaw the construction of the UNCG Baseball Stadium and the renovation and lighting of the UNCG Tennis Courts. Most recently, he added to the list the transformation of UNCG’s softball facility to become a top-of-the-line stadium venue, and the reconfiguration of seating in Fleming Gym, which added chairback seating on both sides and additional stands under one of the baskets. Under Bobb’s guidance, Spartan student-athletes have consistently graduated at a rate equal to or higher than the general student population at UNCG. Each of the last four academic years, more than 40 percent of UNCG’s student-athletes earned a 3.0 GPA or better. Last year, 114 of 237 student-athletes earned a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 for the academic year. Those aspects, among others, helped earn Bobb the AstroTurf Division I Southeast Region Athletic Director of the Year Award at last summer’s NACDA convention. In addition, Bobb was also enshrined in UNCG’s Athletics Hall of Fame last February as a part of the department’s 40th anniversary celebration. Other notable program accomplishments include completing the NCAA certification process for Division I institutions twice and successfully transitioning the department’s teams into Southern Conference membership. Under Bobb’s leadership, UNCG hosted the final two rounds of the 1997 and 1998 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship, and was home to Olympic athletes from Norway for training prior to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996. Several other Olympic athletes visited and trained at UNCG during the acclimation process. Bobb was also a member of the Olympic Torch run committee in Greensboro for the 1996 Games. During his tenure, UNCG teams have won 36 conference tournament titles, 27 as an NCAA Division I member. They have also won 66 conference regular season titles, 40 of those since moving to NCAA Division I. UNCG earned the Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in the Big South for three consecutive years. While Bobb was athletic director in the 1980’s, the men’s soccer team won four Division III national championships and the women’s basketball team made five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with a third-place finish
in 1988. During his tenure at UNCG, Bobb has also served in various NCAA appointments, including serving on one of the first NCAA Certification teams. From 1995-2000, he served on four such teams. From 1994 through 1998, Bobb served on the Division I Men’s Soccer National Committee and was on the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Soccer Rules Committee from 2000 through 2004, serving as chair in 2003 and 2004. This academic year, Bobb will serve on three Southern Conference committees, serving on the Committee on Committees, Constitution and By-Laws and the Men’s Soccer Sport Committee, of which he is the chair. On campus, Bobb is a member of the Chancellor’s Executive Staff and has been part of many governing bodies both inside and outside of athletics. He is one of the original members of the Greensboro Sports Commission, having served in the body since 1989. He is also a member of the Greensboro Sports Council. He has presented twice each to the NCAA Convention and the NACDA Convention. Bobb, a native of Gahanna, OH, oversees a staff of more than 60 full and parttime employees with administrative divisions of administration and business, student welfare, facilities and operations, external operations and integrated public affairs within the department. Before coming to UNCG, Bobb served as an assistant athletic director at Cornell University for five years. He also served as an assistant football coach at Cornell for nine seasons. A 1970 graduate of Kent State (OH) with a bachelor’s degree in education, Bobb also holds a master’s degree in secondary education from Kent. As an undergraduate, he was a three-year letterwinner on the football team as an offensive guard and earned All-Academic recognition from the Mid-American Conference as a junior. He was an all-conference choice his senior year. Bobb and his wife, Teresa, reside in Greensboro. He has a daughter, Reagan, and a son, Alexander.
