Auburn University 2007 AUBURN FOOTBALL

Transcription

1 Auburn University Auburn University has a proud and dynamic history. The institution was chartered on Feb. 1, 1856, as the East Alabama Male College, a private liberal arts school established by Alabama Methodists to foster Christian education. A single four-story building was completed at a cost of $111,000 in 1859 with 80 students enrolled and a faculty of five. Five male students were graduated in the first commencement held. When Alabama seceded from the Union, faculty and students resigned to enlist for the duration of the Civil War. Among those joining was William J. Samford, who would later become governor of Alabama. The college building, then named Old Main, was used as a Confederate hospital from 1864 until classes resumed in When fire destroyed Old Main in 1887, it was replaced on the same site in 1888 by Samford Hall, named after Gov. Samford. Today Samford Hall serves as AU s administrative headquarters. The college struggled in the shattered Southern economy during the years after the Civil War. Those that pledged large sums to the college went bankrupt and could not meet their pledges. The Methodist Church granted the institution to the state in 1872 for use as a landgrant university under the Morrill Act, signed by President Lincoln in The institution then became the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama, changing from the private liberal arts school to a state-supported college with an emphasis on the new scientific and agricultural programs. Continuous expansion followed. In 1899, the Alabama Legislature decided a new name was needed to reflect the expanded role of the institution. The college s name was changed to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. From the beginning, however, virtually everyone connected with the university ignored official names, preferring always the name selected for the town, founded in 1836, where the institution was located--auburn. Elizabeth Harper, the daughter-in-law of the settlement s founder, was inspired by a line from Oliver Goldsmith s poem, The Deserted Village, which reads, Sweet Auburn, loveliest village of the plain. Would the history of this institution have been the same had it been named Geneva as once was proposed for naming the town? The story goes that straws were drawn for naming the town Geneva or Auburn. Auburn won out. As Charles C. Thach, the university s sixth president said, The Alabama Polytechnic Institute, a high sounding phrase, is fit for legal document and grave legislation, but not to conjure with and not to yell and not to dream with as is Fair Auburn. The Legislature agreed, and in 1960 Alabama Polytechnic Institute became Auburn University. Female students were first admitted to Auburn in 1892, making Auburn the oldest four-year coeducational school in Alabama and the second oldest in the Southeast. Today, 12 schools and colleges advance the University s outstanding programs of teaching, research and service. The current colleges and schools and the dates of their original inceptions are: College of Agriculture, 1872; College of Architecture, Design and Construction, 1907; College of Business, 1967; College of Education, 1915; Samuel Ginn College of Engineering, 1872; School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, 1984; College of Human Sciences, 1916; College of Liberal Arts, 1986; School of Nursing, 1979; James Harrison School of Pharmacy, 1885; College of Sciences and Mathematics, 1986; College of Veterinary Medicine, 1907; Graduate School, In 1986, a university reorganization created the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Sciences and Mathematics from the former School of Arts and Sciences (1872), as well as portions of the School of Agriculture and Biological Sciences and the School of Architecture and Fine Arts (both subsequently renamed). Auburn s greatest growth and development came after World War II. From a campus of 35 buildings in 1946, the university s multi-million dollar physical complex has grown to approximately 375 buildings on 1,840 acres. The Alabama Agricultural Experiment Station conducts crop, animal and soil experimentation statewide, and Extension agents are stationed in all 67 Alabama counties. Main campus enrollment currently exceeds 23,000, with more than 1,100 faculty. In 1967, the State Legislature approved a $5 million bond issue for the purpose of establishing a four-year university at Montgomery under the supervision and control of the Auburn University Board of Trustees. It was named Auburn University at Montgomery. AUM temporarily began operation in the former Extension Center of the University of Alabama in The Montgomery community raised money to purchase a 500-acre site seven miles east of the city off I-85. The new campus was built and occupied in Currently its enrollment stands at approximately 5,000. Economic Impact Highlights A recent study determined AU has a more than $4 billion economic impact on the state of Alabama. AU provides principal academic support for Alabama agricultural, construction and manufacturing industries. AU is the primary source of instruction and research for Alabama s emerging aerospace, automotive, microelectronics and wireless technology industries. AU is developing alternative fuels from renewable energy sources such as switchgrass and other agricultural produce and dedicated $3 million to a new alternative energy initiative. 194

2 Research Highlights The Auburn University Natural Resources Management & Development Institute was established in 2007 to create and promote traditional and innovative natural resource products and services. The Institute will develop sustainable practices for the benefit of communities today and for the wellbeing of generations to come. Sponsored research at AU totals more than $72 million annually. Construction is under way for a new 156-acre research park. At full development, the park should provide more than 12,000 new jobs stemming from those created within the park and spin-off employment within businesses supporting park tenant companies. Instruction/s Highlights U.S. News & World Report ranked two AU colleges in the top 100 in their fields nationwide. The Samuel Ginn College of Engineering was ranked 74th and the AU College of Education was ranked 82nd in the ranking of America s Best Graduate Schools. U.S. News & World Report--for the 14th consecutive year-- ranked AU in the top 50 public universities in the nation. Kiplinger s Personal Finance magazine has ranked AU among its best values in U.S. public institutions, as has the Princeton Review. Kiplinger rated AU 26th in terms of in-state student value and 31st for out-of-state student value. AU is the only university in the country to offer a degree in wireless engineering, and the first in the Southeast to offer degrees in software engineering. AU is known for its rocket science : six NASA astronauts graduated from AU, and two past directors of Kennedy Space Center are also AU alumni. AU s Ralph Brown Draughon Library has more than 2.7 million volumes, with 2.5 million volumes of microfilm.

4 Auburn Administration JAY JACOBS Athletics Director Auburn Director of Athletics Jay Jacobs has a vision of leading Auburn Athletics to becoming the nation s preeminent Athletics Department. In his brief tenure at the helm of the Tigers program, the department has prospered athletically, academically and financially. Under Jacobs leadership, Auburn Athletics has made major strides that have benefited Auburn student-athletes, coaches and fans. Athletically, the Tigers have claimed seven national championships under Jacobs, including a school-record four titles in along with nine Southeastern Conference titles. Last year, the Auburn men s and women s swimming and diving programs each won NCAA titles, while eight programs finished in the top 15 nationally, including seven that recorded top 10 finishes on the national level. Individually in , Auburn produced 73 All-Americans, 37 All-SEC performers, 11 NCAA individual and relay champions, 24 Southeastern Conference champions and four Tiger student-athletes were named SEC Athlete of the Year in their respective sport. ally, Auburn has earned four public recognitions by the NCAA for scoring in the 90th-100th percentile nationally in the Progress Rate (APR). The APR, which is a formula based upon student-athletes retention and eligibility, has honored the men s golf team twice and the football and men s golf programs in In , four Auburn student-athletes were All-Americans, four were named SEC Scholar Athletes of the Year, 106 earned All-SEC honors and National Champion Kerron Stewart won the Honda Sports Award for Track and Field, presented annually to the nation s top collegiate female track and field athlete. A total of 40 percent of Auburn student-athletes earned grade point averages of 3.0 or better during the Spring 2007 semester, including 165 student-athletes that were honored at the annual Tiger Torch Banquet. Jacobs, who gained strong business expertise as the Senior Associate Athletics Director in charge of Tigers Unlimited prior to his appointment as Director of Athletics, has initiated several successful business ventures for the Athletics Department. In December 2005, Auburn signed a five-year contract with Under Armour Performance Apparel to be the official outfitter of the University s athletic teams. The five-year contract, worth over $10.6 million in sponsorship, product and additional benefits, provides Auburn's athletic teams Under Armour uniforms, cleats, apparel and accessories. Auburn also extended its multi-media rights contract with ISP Sports for an additional nine years following the end of the current agreement in The new terms include revenue to the Athletics Department of an average of more than $5.8 million annually, more than double the previous contract of nearly $2.4 million per year. Under Jacobs leadership, Auburn has also moved forward with numerous Meagan, Jayne, Jay, Angie and Haley Jacobs facility projects designed to benefit Tiger athletic programs and their fans. The approval in June 2007 of a new $92.5 million state-of-the-art basketball arena and practice facility ranks among Jacobs most significant accomplishments. Groundbreaking for the new arena will occur in the summer of 2008 with the facility opening prior to the season. The 243,792 square foot facility, which will be built on campus north and west of the existing Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum on Roosevelt Drive, will have an approximate capacity of 9,600. It will include over 29,000 square feet of studentathlete space, a two-court practice facility, coaches offices, the Auburn University Athletic Ticket Office, an AU Team Store, the relocated Lovelace Museum, two food courts along with many other amenities. The most recognizable completed project under Jacobs watch has been the Jordan-Hare Stadium Phase 1C renovation which was completed in August The renovations included new concessions and expanded restroom facilities on the west and east concourses along with a spacious plaza on the west side of the stadium. For the 2007 football season, Auburn fans will enjoy a new $2.9 million high definition (HD) video display scoreboard in the south end zone. The first of its kind in the Southeastern Conference, the HD display will measure approximately 30 feet high by 74 feet wide. In , Auburn opened the new Rosen-Hutsell Track and a new wood floor surface was placed over the old tartan floor at Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum. Other projects set for completion for the academic year include a new tennis facility west of campus, an outdoor training pool located at the old Luther Young Tennis Complex and a golf training center. For Jacobs, it was only fitting that he was named Auburn's 14th Director of Athletics on Dec. 22, 2004, after working in almost every area of the Auburn Athletic Department for the previous 20 years. It was the final step for Jacobs in a career that had allowed him to gain a wide range of experiences in collegiate athletics, from the perspective of a student-athlete, to the position of Senior Associate Athletics Director in charge of Tigers Unlimited, Auburn's fund-raising arm. Jacobs grew up just 20 miles from Auburn in LaFayette and made several trips a year to the campus to watch athletic events. Later, after moving to Jacksonville, Fla., to attend high school, he returned to Auburn for college. After walking on the Auburn football team, he earned two letters as an offensive tackle in 1982 and As a senior, he started for the SEC Championship Tigers that finished the season ranked third nationally. Not long after his career ended against Michigan in the 1984 Sugar Bowl, Jacobs started the journey that led him to being named Director of Athletics. After one season as a coach at Lee-Scott Academy in Auburn, Jacobs returned to his alma matter in 1985 as the Strength and Conditioning Coach. After serving two seasons ( ) as a graduate assistant football coach, Jacobs was named Conditioning Coach, a position he held for three years ( ). In 1991, he became an Athletics Director. Three years later, he was promoted to Associate Athletics Director for Operations, overseeing a variety of support functions in the Athletics Department. As the Senior Associate Athletics Director in charge of Tigers Unlimited from , Jacobs oversaw the fund-raising efforts that secured approximately $60 million in gifts the last three years. He spearheaded a $90 million capital campaign, the largest in Auburn athletics history. Jacobs earned his undergraduate and master's degree in business administration from Auburn in 1985 and 1988, respectively. He is married to the former Angie Sapp of Dublin, Ga. The couple has three daughters, Haley, Meagan, and Jayne
