THE UNIVERSITY

As the only dedicated liberal arts institution in the University of North Carolina system, UNC Asheville kindles learning by offering students an intellectually rigorous education that builds critical thinking and workforce skills to last a lifetime. Small class size, award-winning faculty and a nationally acclaimed undergraduate research program foster innovation as well as recognition. The cornerstone of a liberal arts education is the ability to explore the connections between many different subjects as well as the options available. So learning here expands well beyond the classroom walls. Focusing on undergraduate studies, we help students dig into learning, whether they participate in faculty-mentored research projects, undertake career-related internships, study abroad, or join service projects aimed at improving the quality of life at home and around the world. We encourage everyone to seek challenges, seize opportunities and become a doer as well as a thinker. At UNC Asheville, we’ve created an environment for exploring the world as well as more than 30 different majors. About 3,900 undergraduate students and about 330 full- and part-time faculty bring the campus alive with a genuine hunger to understand and contribute to the human experience. Amid the culturally rich setting of Asheville, North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it’s all designed to spark a lifelong quest to know more — a fire that will grow brighter in the future.


The picturesque campus is home to many fun events throughout the year, including Concerts on the Quad, which happens each summer (pictured top left).

Built in 1965 with a major addition in 1990 that nearly doubled its size, Ramsey Library (above) was built in honor of D. Hiden Ramsey, a newspaper editor as well as city and state official. Today, the library holds approximately 360,000 volumes with access to more than 400,000 titles electronically.

UNC Asheville confers degrees three times during the academic year at the end of the Fall semester, at the end of the Spring semester as well as at the end of the Summer terms. Formal commencement ceremonies are held in December and May.

Petting Rocky on the path to a first class or a first job has been a rite of passage for many students and graduates and is said to bring good luck, and he was there to see the Bulldogs through one more memorable Homecoming in February.

THE BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE For more than 30 years, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The league’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by notable accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” as part of a new strategic emphasis on becoming the premiere non-FBS conference in the Southeast. Since 2000, the Big South Conference has experienced its most pivotal accomplishments in the league’s history both athletically and academically, such as: • Baseball National Champion in 2016 • Six individual National Champions • Two Top 10 finishes in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championship, including fifth in 2007 • The No. 1 ranked team in the national polls in 2014 and 2015 (football) • Reached the quarterfinals of the FCS Playoffs three consecutive years in 2013, 2014 and 2015 • Reached the NCAA “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball • Qualified three teams for NCAA postseason play in the same sport for the first time in 2016 (men’s soccer, men’s golf) • Three NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament wins • Reached the NCAA Softball Regional Championship game three times • Multiple teams in the FCS playoffs three times since 2012 • Three berths in the NCAA Baseball Super Regionals • Multiple teams in the NCAA Baseball Regionals eight times • The No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals four times, including the national No. 4 seed in 2010 • Three Top 24 finishes in the NCAA Women’s Golf Championship since 2011 • The first-ever national finalist for NCAA Woman of the Year • First appearance in the round of 32 in the NCAA Men’s Singles Championship • First All-Americans in men’s and women’s cross country • A Big South-record 13 Academic All-Americans in 2003-04 and 2013-14 • A Big South-record 21 NCAA Public Recognition Awards for APR Success in 2016 • A Big South-record 85 percent Graduation Success Rate two consecutive years (2014 and 2015) • A Big South-record 42 All-Americans in 2011-12 On April 24, 1983, Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South and less than four months later on August 21, the Big South Conference was formed when Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop committed to the new league. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the league’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the league received its first automatic bid -- an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing against some of the finest teams in the nation.

In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the league’s third Commissioner, and in his 20 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the conference to unprecedented new heights. During his tenure, men’s and women’s indoor track & field (1997), football (2002) and women’s lacrosse (2013) were added as sponsored sports. The conference has also enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue, in addition to extensive television coverage for women’s basketball, baseball, softball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and women’s lacrosse for the first time. The league as a whole has enjoyed increased national television exposure through aggressive and unique television packages. Conference membership has solidified with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb, Presbyterian College and Longwood, plus the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the conference introduced its first live streaming event in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 900 annually through a partnership with the member institutions. Ongoing equipment upgrades will allow these productions to become “TV-ready” in the near future. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the league’s vision as a distinctive athletic conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. An updated strategic plan was launched in 2015 with the objective to transform the Big South Conference into the premiere non-FBS conference in the Southeast. The primary areas of focus are basketball success, media exposure, academic centrality, student-athlete experience and messaging/branding. Prominent Big South athletic alumni include three-time U.S. Olympian Amber Campbell; 2016 U.S. Open Champion Dustin Johnson; former American League All-Star Ty Wiggington; Cleveland Indians pitcher Cody Allen; Oakland Athletics pitcher Ryan Dull; Washington Redskins cornerback Josh Norman, New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings; three-time NFL Pro Bowler Justin Bethel, WNBA veteran Avery Warley and Carolina Panthers fullback Mike Tolbert. Distinguished alumni from Big South member institutions include Charlotte Hornets President Fred Whitfield (Campbell), U.S. Senator Tim Scott (Charleston Southern), Basketball Hall of Famer Artis Gilmore (Gardner-Webb), Grammyaward winning singer/songwriter Donna Fargo (High Point), ESPN personality Samantha Ponder (Liberty), former LPGA player Tina Barrett (Longwood), HGTV President Jim Samples (Presbyterian), former U.S. National Men’s Soccer Team member Dante Washington (Radford), Weather Channel anchor Kristina Abernathy (UNC Asheville) and actress Andie MacDowell (Winthrop). The conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the conference’s 25th Anniversary. The league also honored its heritage with the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in its history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 1996-2007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the league’s first 25 years. As part of the league’s 30th anniversary celebration in 2013-14, All-Decade Teams were recognized for the first time in each sport. The conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. For the past two years, more than 50 percent of conference’s student-athletes have been named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average for the academic year, including 138 4.0 students in 2015-16, and the league has had nearly 170 Academic All-Americans in its history.

UNIVERSITY CHANCELLOR

DR. MARY K. GRANT

CHANCELLOR / BIG SOUTH PRESIDENT Dr. Mary K. Grant joined UNC Asheville as the seventh chancellor in January 2015, after serving for 12 years as president of Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts (MCLA). During her first two years, she established UNC Asheville as a center for creativity, innovation, and excellence in the public liberal arts, bringing the community to the table for events such as the annual farm-to-table dinner on the Quad, and expanding access to higher education while increasing enrollment in North Carolina’s public liberal arts university. Dr. Grant’s leadership in strategic institutional growth encouraged a transformation of campus for the 21st century, with construction projects underway for UNC Asheville’s first apartment-style student residences and renovations to the Highsmith Student Union, followed by renovations to two academic buildings Owen and Carmichael Halls. These projects represent $67 million in campus construction or renovations, including $21.1 million funded through Connect NC bonds, on which Dr. Grant led the efforts to secure. The university also opened STEAM Studio – an innovative space for engineering and design in the River Arts Makers Place, providing a pathway for students to make their careers and establishing a driving force in the creative economy. It is the rich creative talent both in the region and the university that has led to increased interest in combining elements of art and engineering into the curriculum. A reinvigorated partnership with The Center for Craft, Creativity & Design has resulted in the launch of the university’s Center for Creative Entrepreneurship, and more than $1 million in funding to bring UNC Asheville expertise in the humanities and liberal arts into downtown Asheville. A $1.5 million grant from the N.C GlaxoSmithKline Foundation elevates undergraduate research in chemistry and biology. This clear focus on student success and academic rigor remain at the heart of a UNC Asheville education, defined as directions in the university’s strategic plan, developed and implemented under Dr. Grant’s leadership. Through this strategic planning, she fostered a deep commitment to supporting diverse and inclusive communities, making innovation a core competency, and renewing attention toward sustainability – all core values of UNC Asheville. Extracurricular experiences and community engagement complete the plan and enrich modern scholars. Engaging the community is a major goal of Dr. Grant. Whether it is hosting world renowned speakers or national undergraduate research events, the university is better connected to the region than ever before. The growth of the university and city of Asheville over the past five years has demonstrated the need for the university to participate in the community. Faculty, staff, and students connect with city leadership to help address the

issues a growing city often experiences. With successful Division I athletics, the university establishes stronger ties to the region. Community service is critical at UNC Asheville, and it will continue to be a focal point for Dr. Grant. This mission-driven approach, anchored in the liberal arts, receives accolades from students, faculty, and college guides. The university was ranked #1 for “Making an Impact,” by The Princeton Review in 2016, recognizing schools with the best community service opportunities, student governments, sustainability, and on-campus student engagement, as well as graduates with high job meaning. UNC Asheville continues to earn high marks for value and academic excellence, garnering a Top 10 place on the Best Public Liberal Arts Colleges by U.S. News and World Report. Dr. Grant is a leader in public higher education, having served as chair of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges (COPLAC), where she directed a planning effort that culminated in bringing the COPLAC executive office to Asheville. She currently serves as president of the Big South Conference Council of Chief Executive Officers, as vice chair of the board for National Campus Compact, as a director of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce and United Way of Asheville, and a trustee of the Norman Rockwell Museum. She served as the chief academic officer and deputy CEO of UMassOnline and was a senior fellow at the John W. McCormack Institute of Public Affairs at UMass Boston, where she led the institute’s master’s program in public affairs and served as director of the Center for Social Policy. In addition, Dr. Grant served as assistant vice chancellor for administration and finance and human resources at UMass Boston. As president of MCLA, she oversaw growth in enrollment, strengthened the connections between the college and the community, and led the college’s first comprehensive capital campaign, resulting in approximately $100 million in new public and private support for the college. Dr. Grant has received numerous awards and recognitions, including the 2014 MCLA Distinguished Alumnus Award, and the New England Board of Higher Education’s (NEBHE) Massachusetts State Merit Award. She also received the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District I Executive Leadership Award in recognition of her success in increasing MCLA’s institutional stature in, and service to, the community. Dr. Grant was the recipient of the 2011 American Council on Education Massachusetts National Network of Women Leaders Lifetime Achievement Award, and was appointed to the Massachusetts Governor’s Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Advisory Council. She holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from MCLA, a master’s degree in public affairs from UMass Boston, a Ph.D. in social policy from The Heller School at Brandeis University, and an honorary degree from Williams College.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

JANET R. CONE

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Janet R. Cone, who has served as UNC Asheville’s Director of Athletics since 2004, is the only woman currently serving on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee that selects and seeds the teams for March Madness. She was one of just 28 Directors of Athletics to be named as an Under Armour AD of the Year in 2013 by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2014, she negotiated the first-ever college revenue development service platform with IMG College to combine athletics development and capital campaign with sponsorship sales. This partnership generated recording breaking revenue for 2014-15 for the Bulldogs. Outside of UNC Asheville, Cone helped create the Asheville Buncombe Regional Sports Commission and was a former chair. She currently serves as a founding board member for the group. In addition to her term on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Committee, she is currently serving on the NCAA Division I Institutional Performance Committee and on various Big South Conference Committees. Under Cone’s leadership the Bulldogs have achieved unbelievable progress with the creation and implementation of the “More Wins, More Friends, and More Resources” strategic plan. Cone, who also serves as the Senior Administrator for University Enterprises, oversaw the successful opening of the Wilma M. Sherrill Center which houses the Kimmel Arena, a new tennis facility, and the expansion of the Karl Straus Track Facility. Presently a campaign to build on-campus baseball and soccer stadiums is underway. More importantly, the Bulldog athletics department’s Academic Progress Rate is 977, and Bulldog student-athletes have an overall 3.108 GPA and a Graduation Rate of 85%. UNC

10

Asheville’s athletics budget is one of the lowest in NCAA Division I Athletics; however, under Cone’s leadership, a sustainable revenue plan has been implemented to increase the athletics budget from $2.1M to $5.7M and will add another $1.2M over the next two years. In spite of the budget, Bulldogs have won Big South Conference Championships in Baseball, Men’s Basketball, Women’s Basketball, and Women’s Soccer. The Bulldogs value community engagement and perform thousands of hours of community service each year, too. Cone continues to work rigorously to improve Gender Equity, and earlier this year, she announced the addition of women’s golf as the 16th NCAA Division I athletics program at UNC Asheville. When women’s golf tees off in 2016-17, they will become the second sport added in the last five years. The revival of the women’s swimming program in 2012-13 marked the first time that the athletics department had added a sport in 20 years. Prior to coming to Asheville, Cone served as the associate athletics director for Samford University, and also coached women’s basketball at Samford, Saint Leo University, Western Carolina University and Mars Hill College. Cone holds a bachelor’s degree from Furman University and a master’s degree from the University of South Carolina.

HEAD COACH BRENDA MOCK KIRKPATRICK

BRENDA MOCK KIRKPATRICK

HEAD COACH, SIXTH SEASON WAKE FOREST, 2000 Waynesville, N.C., native Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick enters her sixth season as the head coach of UNC Asheville women’s basketball. Through her first five years at the helm, she has taken the program to new heights and set a new standard. That includes going from winning 22 games over her first three seasons combined to winning 45 games in just the last two campaigns while capturing back-to-back Big South Conference Tournament crowns, two NCAA Tournament berths and one Big South Conference regular-season title.

defeated sixth-seeded Presbyterian and the Bulldogs then wrapped up the incredible stretch by toppling top-seeded Radford in the championship game, earning the league’s automatic berth into the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season. In doing so, the Bulldogs became the first seven-seed to ever win the Big South Women’s Basketball Championships. Major and Dengokl were both recognized following the tournament with All-Tournament honors and Dengokl was awarded the program’s second-straight MVP award.

In her time in Asheville, Kirkpatrick, the 2015-16 Big South Conference Coach of the Year, has coached six All-Big South Conference honorees, including 2015-16 league Player of the Year Chatori Major. She has also had four players earn Big South Championship All-Tournament honors with Major and Sonora Dengokl being named Most Valuable Player in 2016 and 2017.

UNC Asheville closed out the season as the 16-seed in the Stockton (Calif.) Regional of the NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. The Bulldogs played top-seeded South Carolina in the first round of the tournament and despite a strong start, ultimately bowed out.

It could be said that Coach Mock proved her mettle most during the 2016-17 season, guiding the Bulldogs to a 19-15 record that included an impressive finish and UNC Asheville’s second-straight Big South Conference Championship crown and NCAA Tournament berth. The 19-15 record marked just the seventh time in program history that UNC Asheville women’s basketball finished with a positive record. Two of those have come under Kirkpatrick’s guidance. Tabbed as the league’s preseason favorite to claim the regular-season crown, the Bulldogs started the season well enough, winning four of their first five games. As the calendar turned to conference play, the Bulldogs lost key players to injury, forcing Kirkpatrick and staff to make changes to personnel and game strategies while asking players to expand their rolls. Despite going 9-9 in Big South play during the regular season, the changes and growth paid off in spades as the Bulldogs closed out the 2016-17 campaign winning eight of their last 10 games. Included in that stretch were two wins to wrap up the regular season and then four wins in four days to claim the Big South Conference Championship title. It was the first time in league history that a team had won four games over four days to take home the title and Coach Mock became the first women’s basketball coach at UNC Asheville to win multiple conference tournament crowns. During the Big South Conference Championships stretch, the seventh-seeded Bulldogs won their first-round game over No. 10 seed Longwood and turned around the next day to knock of second-seeded Campbell in the quarterfinal round. During the semifinal round, Asheville

Major and fellow senior KJ Weaver were both named to the Big South All-Conference teams with Major picking up her second-straight first-team honor. Major became just the fourth UNC Asheville women’s basketball player to earn multiple Big South first-team plaudits. Major was also named to the conference’s All-Academic Team. During the season several players permanently etched their names in the UNC Asheville record book. Senior guards Tianna Knuckles and Chatori Major became the 105th and 106th women’s basketball players in conference history to eclipse the 1,000 career point mark. Knuckles ended her playing career with 1,129 career points, the 10th-most all-time in program history and sixth-most in Asheville’s NCAA Division I era. Major ended her career with 1,116 career points, the 12th-most by a Bulldog all-time and eighth-most in the Division I era. As a junior during the 2015-16 season, Knuckles set the school record for most three-pointers in a single season with 73. It was a mark that had stood for over 25 years. During the 2016-17 campaign, Major then broke the record and set a new standard with 78 three-pointers. Fellow senior KJ Weaver also etched her name in the record book as she ended her career with 747 rebounds, sixth-most by a UNC Asheville women’s basketball player and fourth-most in the NCAA Division I era. Weaver was the 108th Big South Conference women’s basketball player to eclipse the 500-rebound plateau and then became the 74th player in league history to bring down 600 rebounds and the 50th player to eclipse 700 rebounds. Weaver also finished her career in the top-five in program history with 157 career blocks.

HEAD COACH BRENDA MOCK KIRKPATRICK The 2015-16 season saw Kirkpatrick lead her team to the biggest turnaround season in NCAA Division I women’s basketball, finishing the year with an overall record of 26-7 following a 9-22 season the year before. Coach Mock earned Big South Conference Coach of the Year honors and was also named the Division I women’s basketball Coach of the Year by HERO Sports. Asheville hosted many decorated Bulldogs as a part of the 2015-16 campaign that paved the way to Asheville’s success on and off the court. Under Coach Kirkpatick’s leadership, Chatori Major earned Big South Conference Player of the Year and Conference Tournament MVP honors, along with teammate Tianna Knuckles, who received Big South Second Team All-Conference honors as well as being named an All-Tournament team selection. Paige Love earned Big South All-Academic team honors and was recognized as the first student-athlete to receive the University’s William and Ida Friday Award for Service to Community. The 2015-16 season was a record-breaking year for the Bulldogs in many ways. After being picked to finish eighth of ten teams in the league’s preseason poll, they began the year by matching the best start in school history (9-1) on their way to program-high regular season wins (26) and conference wins (16). Kirkpatrick also led the Bulldogs to the program’s first ever Big South Conference Regular Season Title, a Big South Conference Tournament Championship and an NCAA first round appearance. In 2014-15, the Bulldogs finished 9-22 but saw 10 of those losses come by a single-digit margin, including six coming by just three points or less. In 2013-2014 the Bulldogs finished with 11 wins, the most for the program in four seasons. Asheville had landmark nonconference victories over Furman and Eastern Kentucky. In addition, the Bulldogs downed Liberty, giving the Blue & White its first home win over the Lady Flames in 17 years. Asheville earned a 43-42 win over Radford in the first round of the Big South Conference Tournament. The win was the Bulldogs first tournament win in seven years. Kirkpatrick joined the Bulldog program prior to the 2012-13 season after serving as an assistant to Amanda Butler at the University of Florida for five years. She helped lead the Gator program to five consecutive post-season berths, including two trips to the NCAA Tournament. Before going to Florida, Kirkpatrick worked at Charlotte for two years when Butler was the head coach of the 49er program. During their two years together in Charlotte, the 49ers compiled 40 wins, captured a share of the 2006 Atlantic 10 regular-season championship and earned a pair of postseason berths. Kirkpatrick broke into the coaching ranks for the 2002-03 season at Georgia Tech under then-head coach Agnus Berenato, helping the Yellow Jackets win 20 games and earn a bid into the NCAA Tournament for only the second time in program history. Berenato departed following that record-setting campaign for the University of Pittsburgh, while Kirkpatrick remained on staff in Atlanta for 2003-04 before heading to Jacksonville University for a season.

A successful collegiate playing tenure afforded Kirkpatrick the opportunity to play professionally in France for NantesReze 44 during the 2001-02 season before launching her coaching career. Kirkpatrick earned a bachelor’s of arts in history and sociology in 2000 and a master’s of arts in education in 2001 from Wake Forest University. She enjoyed an outstanding career in Winston-Salem, where the two-time captain averaged 7.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per contest during her four-year career. As a senior in 2000-01, the six-foot forward garnered honorable mention All-ACC honors after contributing 10 points and 6.2 rebounds per game. During her time as a Demon Deacon, Kirkpatrick was a first team Academic All-District selection and a four-year member of the ACC Student-Athlete Honor Roll. Despite having to take a medical redshirt (ACL) for the 1996-97 season that delayed her collegiate debut, Kirkpatrick did not miss a game during her four-year career, appearing in all 111 contests and earning 57 starts. The daughter of Weaver and Brenda Kirkpatrick, she is most often referred to as ‘Coach Mock’ or ‘Mock,’ which is her middle name and also her mother’s maiden name. Mock graduated from Tuscola High School in 1996 as a decorated student and athlete. While maintaining a 4.2 grade-point average, she lettered in softball and volleyball in addition to her stellar hoops career, where she was an honorable mention All-America selection by Street & Smith and USA Today in 1995 and 1996, while setting two state records for free throws: most in a game (25-of-25) and most consecutive (39), totaling 51 points in the game she hit 25 free throws. Kirkpatrick was the Asheville Citizen-Times Player of the Year for three consecutive seasons. She played for John Best at Tuscola in basketball.

WBCA ACADEMIC TEAM HONOR ROLL

Bulldogs Crack Top 10 in WBCA Academic Team Honor

The 2016-17 UNC Asheville women’s basketball was ranked 10th nationally amongst NCAA Division I pro-

grams on the academic team honor roll by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) as the Bulldogs recorded a 3.597 team grade-point average (GPA) for the 2016-17 school year.

“I am extremely proud of our young ladies for their achievements in the classroom and landing among the

top 10 programs in the nation for their performance during the 2016-17 academic year,” UNC Asheville women’s basketball head coach Brenda Mock Kirkpatrick said. “Even more impressive is their ability to perform this well at an institution as rigorous as UNC Asheville. These women understand that their success is shared with many individuals on campus.”

Four different Bulldogs posted at least one 4.0 in a semester this past school year with Ali Trani recording

a perfect GPA during her sophomore campaign. All 14 Bulldogs recorded at least one semester with a 3.3 GPA or higher last season.

“I want to especially thank the tremendous group of faculty we have who go above and beyond to create

an environment that is conducive to learning,” Kirkpatrick said. “I also want to give credit to our Assistant Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Success, Rebecca Nelms, who works tirelessly to ensure all of our athletes are maximizing their academic experience at UNC Asheville. As coaches, we are blessed to have a group of people that care so deeply for our athletes and a group of athletes who are motivated to take their school work so seriously.”

The WBCA Academic Top 25 recognizes NCAA Division I, II and III; NAIA and junior/community college

women’s basketball teams across the nation that carry the highest combined GPAs inclusive of all student-athletes on their rosters for the entire season. The 2016-17 season is the 22nd in which the WBCA has compiled the honor rolls.

NCAA ACADEMIC PROGRESS RATE RECOGNITION

Women’s Basketball Repeats with NCAA Public Recogniation Award

The UNC Asheville women’s basketball team was honored with the Public Recognition Award from the

NCAA when the Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores were released on May 3, 2017.

These awards are given each year to teams with APRs in the top 10 percent in each sport, and the results

are based on the 2015-16 academic year.

“This says a great deal about the type of student-athletes that we have here at UNC Asheville,” UNC

Asheville Director of Athletics Janet R. Cone said. “Women’s basketball works extremely hard in all facets, and, truthfully, they are just one of many athletic programs here at UNC Asheville that truly strive for the Pursuit of Greatness in all areas.”

Overall, the women’s basketball team were part of a Big South-record 24 teams honored by the NCAA in-

cluding UNC Asheville men’s and women’s tennis programs. All 10 Big South member institutions were honored.

Each year, the NCAA tracks the classroom performance of student-athletes on every Division I team

through the annual scorecard of academic achievement, known as APR. The score honors selected Division I sports teams by publicly recognizing their latest multiyear APR (the most recent APRs are based on scores from the 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 and 2015-16 academic years). This announcement is part of the overall Division I academic reform effort and is intended to highlight teams who demonstrate a commitment to academic progress and retention of student-athletes by achieving the top APRs within their respective sports. By measuring eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or quarter, the APR provides a clear picture of academic performance in each sport.
