3 An 18-hole semi-private championship golf course located on the north perimeter of the University of Maryland s flagship campus in College Park, the University of Maryland Golf Course is the home of the Terrapins men s and women s golf teams. Open year-round, the 6,700-yard championship course features a newly constructed clubhouse which was completed in April The course has long been the site of numerous state and regional tournaments, and the 35,000-square foot., plantation-style clubhouse has become a gathering point for campus and surrounding communities. The clubhouse upper level features a full-service bar, grill and banquet facility that seats 75 for lunch and tournament events, and can handle groups from eight to 200 including a banquet facility whose outdoor patio overlooks the course. Its main level features management offices, a fully-equipped pro shop with the latest styles of Terrapin golf attire, men s and women s locker facilities, and a Terrapin golf suite with offices, separate locker rooms and a lounge for the Terps men s and women s teams. Designed by George Cobb and built in 1955, the course plays 50,000 rounds per year with preference given to students, faculty, staff and alumni. Its semi-private facilities include a 5,000-square foot putting green and a 45-station driving range. 3

4 SEASON OUTLOOK TALENTED TERPS ON BRINK OF SECOND-STRAIGHT NCAA BID. In athletics, the cliché that familiarity breeds contempt, is seldom true. In the case of the University of Maryland women s golf team, the fact is that familiarity has bred an experienced, talented fivesome that has brought the Terrapins unprecedented acclaim and progress over the past three years. Seniors Kate Stepanek, Jessica Reno and Kelly MacWhinnie have joined with juniors Kelly Calkin and Katie Trotter to form the Maryland lineup for three straight years, appearing as the Terps top five in 26 consecutive events. In the spring of 2007, that quintet will make its final run with an eye toward continuing the women s golf program s improvement over recent years. Our advantage is familiarity, says head coach Jason Rodenhaver, who has directed the Terrapins women s golf team since its inception eight years ago. There are no surprises with this group. They know the ins and outs of travel, they know they re going to miss some class and how to deal with that and they ve played the same golf courses over the last three years. That helps, too. There s no substitute for experience. They all have at least 30 college events under their belt, so they know how to handle themselves and what to expect. The expectations for the women s golf program have grown. Last season, Maryland finished fourth in the tough Atlantic Coast Conference, the first time in its history the team has finished that high at the conference tournament. Also in 2006, Maryland made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA postseason, placing 14th of 21 teams at the NCAA East Regional at Browns Summit, N.C. Emerging as the Terps top player from the Fall 2006 season was Calkin, who spent her Christmas vacation winning the South Atlantic Amateur in Florida. Calkin finished the fall season with a team-best 74.3 scoring average and won her first collegiate event with medalist honors at the Napa River Grill Cardinal Classic in Louisville, where she fired a finalround 70 to post a 1-overpar 217. She s now playing very confident, said Rodenhaver. She s very good around the greens, putting well and chipping well. I think she s one of the better players in the conference right now. Stepanek will finish her time at Maryland as one of the strongest golfers to have played in the program. She has three individual tournament championships on her playing resume and last spring became the first player in program history to earn All-ACC honors in voting by the coaches. She has been in the lineup since the first tournament of her freshman year with the Terps. KELLY CALKIN She s been steady for four years, said Rodenhaver. You can always count on her. We re looking for a good spring from Kate. She s strong and has great length off the tee. When she s hitting the driver well, she can dominate a golf course. Reno has played in 35 collegiate tournaments a n d h a s l o w e r e d her scoring average throughout her career finishing the Fall 2006 season at She has 13 top-20 finishes and has been another solid contributor to the lineup. Jessica has played in every event since her freshman year, said R o d e n h a v e r. S h e s an important player in the lineup. It seems as if when she plays well, we win. She played well in the conference tournament last year and we finished with our highest placing ever. JESSICA RENO MacWhinnie is the third senior in the lineup and has sustained the improvements in her game seen between her sophomore (81.8 scoring average) and her junior (77.5) seasons. The difference was a large part of the Terrapins spring surge that brought them to their unprecedented accomplishments. She s the most improved player since we ve been here, Rodenhaver said of MacWhinnie. She s a totally different player and is someone we can count on as being a legitimate ACC player. She has plenty of length and is good around the greens. Trotter finished second on the team in scoring average over the season (76.8) and posted three top-10 finishes during the Spring 2006 campaign. She had Maryland s best individual finish at the ACC Championships a year ago, as she placed fifth. She s another solid player for us, said Rodenhaver. She didn t have her best fall, but she had a great spring last year. She s maybe one of the best iron players we ve ever had here. Although that fivesome has comprised the starting lineup for some time, Rodenhaver has some quality depth to push the starters. Sophomore Carla Wasienko has shown early promise and improvement, while sophomore Madeleine Lovette came to Maryland with strong high school and junior credentials. Senior Maggie Trainor and freshman Jessica Unger have also added strength and depth to the Terrapins roster thus far this season. 4

5 HEAD COACH JASON RODENHAVER EIGHTH SEASON AT MARYLAND MARYLAND '94 Jason Rodenhaver, who has overseen the development of the University of Maryland women s golf program since its inception in 1999, is in his eighth season as the Terrapins head coach and is enjoying the progress the program has made, shown by the unparalelled heights the women's golf team reached in In only the seventh year of the program, the women's golf team reached its first NCAA postseason event in the Spring of 2006, finishing 14th of 21 teams at the NCAA East Regional in Browns Summit, N.C. Maryland also placed fourth at the Atlantic Coast Conference Championships a year ago, by far the Terrapins' best finish in the league tournament in the program's history. A former Terrapin player and assistant coach for the university s men s golf team, Rodenhaver was selected to oversee the women s golf program on Nov. 19, It was then he began the enviable task of building a brand new program that launched during the fall of A professional golfer, Rodenhaver enthusiastically made the move to the coaching ranks and has created a new era at the University of Maryland. With his sights set firmly on developing a solid foundation for the program, Rodenhaver has been given the resources necessary to compete at the national level. His playing and coaching experiences coupled with his competitive spirit and drive to be successful can mean only one thing for the women s golf program at Maryland: eventual long-term success. Under his guidance, the Terps made their presence known in only their second full season, tying for first place at the James Madison Lady Dukes Invitational in April On numerous occasions in the following seasons, Terrapin golfers have won or shared individual tournament titles. Rodenhaver was the assistant men s golf coach at Maryland and an assistant golf professional at the University of Maryland Golf Course when he was named to lead the newly created women s program. Clearly, Jason was the most qualified and the best fit for his role of our new head coach, said director of athletics Deborah A. Yow upon Rodenhaver s appointment. Given his level of familiarity with the university and the local golf community, he will jump-start our women s golf program, with the long-range goal of becoming a top-20 team. Women s golf is our 13th sport for female student-athletes. Its addition is the capstone to our six-year gender equity plan. On the course, Rodenhaver has co-directed Maryland s summer camp for junior golfers and was tournament director of the State Farm Collegiate Players Tour, held at the University of Maryland Golf Course, from He also organized the UM golf team reunion tournament in 1998 which helped raise $15,000 for the program. A 1994 graduate of the University of Maryland, Rodenhaver played three seasons for the Terps and led the team to a fifth-place finish at the Atlantic Coast Conference championship in The finish was Maryland s highest in the conference championship since Rodenhaver was a two-year captain of the Terrapin men s golf team and a participant in the NCAA East Regional in He played at Southern Methodist for one season ( ) before transferring to Maryland. He received his bachelor s degree in kinesiology from Maryland in 1994 and is currently pursuing his master s in business administration. I truly believe that we are moving in the right direction and are committed to winning both on and off the course, said Rodenhaver. I want all of our studentathletes to excel both academically and athletically. I want them to be eager to work hard and be the best they can be every day and in every aspect of their lives. Rodenhaver is a native of Odessa, Texas. Most of his family, including his wife, Robyn, are graduates of University of Maryland. His father is a member of the National Golf Coach s Hall of Fame and a former assistant golf coach at Maryland. He and his wife, Robyn, have a son, Austin, and had twins, Gavin and Reese, in September ROSTER INFORMATION Name Ht. Yr. Hometown Schools Kelly Calkin** 5-6 Jr. St. Charles, Ill.

17 THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND DEEP ROOTS, BROAD IMPACT Charles Benedict Calvert founded the Maryland Agricultural College in 1856 with the goal of creating a school that would offer outstanding practical knowledge to him and his neighbors and be an institution superior to any other. One hundred and fifty years later, the University of Maryland has blossomed from its roots as the state s first agricultural college and one of America s original land grant institutions into a model of the modern research university. It is the state s greatest asset for its economic development and its future, and has made its mark in the nation and the world. Calvert would be astounded by the depth and breadth of research activities, innovative educational programs, and the single-minded pursuit of excellence that are part of the University of Maryland today. Maryland is ranked 18th among the nation s top public research universities by U.S. News & World Report, with 31 academic programs in the Top 10 and 92 in the Top 25. It is also ranked No. 37th in the world, according to the Institute of Higher Education at at Shanghai s Jiao Tong University. Maryland is the state s premier center of research and graduate education and the public institution of choice for undergraduate students of exceptional ability and promise. The faculty includes three Nobel laureates, six Pulitzer Prize winners, a three-time Emmy Award winner, 40 members of national academies and scores of Fulbright scholars. The university focuses great attention on the highest academic standards, affordability for all qualified students, and a President s Promise program that guarantees opportunity for extraordinary extracurricular and professional experiences for each student. It has earned a national reputation for its enriched educational experiences for undergraduates, including such widely imitated living/learning programs as College Park Scholars; Gemstone, a unique program that brings teams of students together from across disciplines to tackle specific technical problems; and the Hinman CEO Entrepreneurship Program, sponsored jointly by the A. James Clark School of Engineering and the Robert H. Smith School of Business, and widely recognized as the most successful student entrepreneurship program in the nation. These programs are guided by outstanding faculty whose accomplishments in research abound. Whether the issue is Mideast peace, cutting-edge research in nanoscience, homeland security or bioscience advances, Maryland faculty are selected for national leadership and are making news. Many recent major faculty initiatives receiving significant external support strengthen our homeland security endeavors centers for research on agrosecurity and emergency management; intermodal freight transportation security; behavioral and social analyses of terrorism and responses to terrorism; astrophysics and advanced world climate and weather prediction; and a national Center for Advanced Study of Language. In addition to its academic prowess, Maryland is also home to the Terrapins, whose athletic achievements are a perennial source of pride for nearly 250,000 alumni and residents of the state. In , the Terrapins brought home national championships in four sports men s soccer, field hockey, competitive cheer and women s basketball more than any university in the nation. In 2004, Maryland s School of Music hosted the National Symphony Orchestra in its first university residency, and its 2006 opera production was declared by the Washington Post music critic as good as any Bohème you are likely to see this side of the Metropolitan Opera or Covent Garden. Whether aiming for the skies or pioneering journalism programs in China, the University of Maryland is surging ahead. Building on the work of outstanding faculty and students, and with the loyal support of alumni and friends, Maryland is moving aggressively and confidently to a decade that will shine brighter than any other in its history. DR. C.D. MOTE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT CALIFORNIA 59 EIGHTH YEAR In September 1998, C. D. (Dan) Mote, Jr. began his tenure as President of the University of Maryland and Glenn L. Martin Institute Professor of Engineering. He was recruited to lead the University of Maryland to national eminence under a mandate by the state. Since assuming the presidency, he has encouraged an environment of excellence across the University and given new impetus to the momentum generated by a talented faculty and student body. Under his leadership, academic programs have flourished.

21 ACADEMIC SUPPORT AND CAREER DEVELOPMENT The University of Maryland is committed to providing the highest quality education to all of its students. The Department of Intercollegiate Athletics strives to provide studentathletes excellent opportunities to participate in an intercollegiate athletics program of the highest quality, with the result that their athletics participation becomes an integral and valued component of their total educational experience at the university. Terrapin student-athletes will find that the same hard work and discipline that has earned them success in athletics competition is also required in the classroom. Balancing the significant time demands and responsibilities required to be a successful student-athlete at the highest collegiate level is no small task. Therefore, as a result of their commitment to representing the university through athletics, Terrapin student-athletes are able to utilize support programs designed to meet their specific needs. Led by associate athletics director Anton Goff, the mission of the Academic Support and Career Development Unit (ASCDU) is to provide quality developmental programs and need-based services that will enhance academic progress, facilitate career development, and encourage the psychosocial growth of all UM student-athletes. Don Pearman (right) works with the women's gold team. The Gossett Academic Support and Career Development Center for Terrapin student-athletes, named for long-time Terp supporters Barry and Mary Gossett, is located in the Comcast Center. It features a study center that includes 25 desktop computers, a tutoring center, a classroom, a CHAMPS/Life Skills resource room and individual offices for six professional academic counselors, a director of ILP programs, an assistant program coordinator and two graduate assistants. In addition, a new academic wing was added to the Gossett football team house last Fall. It features offices for two counselors, three learning specialist, and a graduate assistant; as well as a quiet study area, 29-desk computer lab, classroom, tutor rooms and classroom/lab for the individualized learning program. Academic courses, programs and services offered by ASCDU include the following: Student-athlete orientation Academic counseling NCAA academic eligibility monitoring Academic enrichment and career development presentations and workshops Accredited tutorial support Individualized learning program EDCP 108-K (College learning strategies and skills) EDCP 108-M (Math learning strategies and skills) UNIV 100 (First-year transitions to the university) MARYLAND GAMEPLAN The Maryland Gameplan is intended to assist graduating Terrapin student-athletes as they begin the job search process. It is distributed to more than 500 corporations and businesses across the country, in addition to being featured on the M Club website. Prospective employers are introduced to our graduating student-athletes with resume information relative to academic, career and personal achievements. The Maryland Gameplan directory is produced annually in collaboration with the M Club. CAREER NETWORKING NIGHT Because career development is an ongoing process, ASCDU provides a variety of programs for student-athletes throughout the year. Professional assistance with resume- writing, interviewing skills, graduate school search and job search is readily available to all student-athletes. During the spring semester ASCDU hosts the Career Networking Night, where student-athletes can learn about career interests and career planning. Unlike typical job fairs, the purpose of this program is to allow student-athletes to explore multiple career opportunities by speaking directly to individuals in their chosen areas of interest. Employers at the Career Networking Night recognize the marketable qualities student-athletes have gained through athletic participation. Student-athletes learn about opportunities for internships and full-time jobs. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COUNCIL The Student-Athlete Advisory Council (S.A.A.C.) plays an important role in the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. It consists of two representatives from each varsity sport and meets on a regular basis with representatives from the athletic administration. The S.A.A.C. mission is to enhance the total student-athlete experience by developing leadership skills, promoting student-athlete welfare and fostering a positive student-athlete image on the Maryland campus, local area and nationally. CHAMPS/LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMS ASCDU houses the NCAA s (National Collegiate Athletic Association) Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success (C.H.A.M.P.S.) Life Skills Program. The ASCDU staff, in collaboration with various other Department of Intercollegiate Athletics units and campus resources, strives to provide a systematic personal development program designed to reach each studentathlete based on his or her individual needs. The focus of the program is on the individual academically, athletically and emotionally, and on the changing needs and skills of that individual in the years during college and after graduation. The menu of presentations, workshops and seminars is a comprehensive and balanced system of life learning programs promoted for use by each varsity sport team. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE CHAMPS/LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMS: Support efforts of every student-athlete toward intellectual development and graduation Use athletics as preparation for success in life Meet the changing needs of student-athletes Promote respect for diversity among student-athletes Enhance interpersonal relationships in the lives of student-athletes Assist student-athletes in building positive self-esteem Enable student-athletes to make meaningful contributions to their communities Promote ownership by the student-athletes of their academic, athletic, personal and social responsibilities Enhance partnerships between the NCAA, member institutions and their communities for the purpose of education Encourage the development of leadership skills CHAMPS/LIFE SKILLS PROGRAMS COMMITMENT STATEMENTS Commitment to Academic Excellence To support the academic progress of the student-athlete toward intellectual development and graduation. Commitment to Athletic Excellence To build philosophical foundations for the development of athletic programs that are broad-based, equitable and dedicated to the well-being of the student-athlete. Commitment to Personal Development To support the development of a wellbalanced lifestyle for student-athletes, encouraging emotional well-being, personal growth and decision-making skills. Commitment to Career Development To encourage the student-athlete to develop and pursue career and life goals. Commitment to Service To engage student-athletes in service to his/her campus and surrounding communities. ACADEMIC SUPPORT FOR RETURNING ATHLETES PROGRAM The Academic Support for Returning Athletes Program was created in 1986 to support the academic efforts of former varsity student-athletes at the University of Maryland, College Park. In 1989, ASRAP was assigned by the President s Office to the Academic Achievements Program and enrolled 40 students that year. As a member of the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS), the University of Maryland is committed to assisting its former athletes with degree completion. A key component of the program is community outreach. Each returning student completes a workship that allows the cost of tuition and fees to be exchanged for community services with youth. In 2002, ASRAP moved into the ASCDU. 21
