4 season outlook Terps will feature new lineup for It s been a strange fall for Jason Rodenhaver. For three full seasons, 33 consecutive events, the University of Maryland women s golf coach could head to a tournament with the same people in the van and submit the same lineup card and know every detail of the swings and play of the same five athletes. The Fall 2007 season has brought three graduations from Rodenhaver s lineup of three years. But after bringing the program to a level of achievement that includes two straight appearances in NCAA Regionals, even though the names and faces have changed, the expectations have not. The Terrapins, though, with seniors Kelly Calkin and Katie Trotter welcoming three newcomers, look as if they ll be able to continue the high achievement. I ve enjoyed myself this fall, said Rodenhaver, now in his ninth season and the only head coach the relatively young program has ever had. The seniors have been good and have provided good leadership. They re leading by example in terms of how they practice, and the others have bought into it. We have a good mix of different-aged athletes, and they re all working extremely hard. The numbers are pretty much what we ve averaged in the past, Rodenhaver says of his new group. I ve been pleasantly surprised with their performance. The freshmen have come in and played well, our transfer has played well and the seniors have contributed. The core of the current lineup centers around Calkin and Trotter, who have continued in the first and second spots with the departure of Kate Stepanek, Jessica Reno and Kelly MacWhinnie. Those two have played in 38 consecutive events since the start of their freshman seasons on campus. katie Trotter Trotter finished the Fall 2007 on the best streak of her career, posting three of the seven top-10 finishes in her career over the final three events of the fall. She tied for fifth at Penn State, placed second in Richmond as the Terps won the team title, and led Maryland with a tie for seventh at the Palmetto Intercollegiate. She finished the fall with the Terps top scoring average at She had a great summer, said Rodenhaver. As a senior, she s played a lot of golf for us and knows how to play at this level. I think she s a better player now than at any time in her career. Calkin finished just behind Trotter in scoring average at 75.9 and enters her senior season with the second-best career scoring average in school history at In Spring 2007, Calkin became only the second Maryland women s golfer to earn All-Atlantic Coast Conference honors. In the past three seasons, she s been someone who drives the ball straight and is in the fairway all the time, said Rodenhaver. She s worked on her swing a bit and is still in the midst of making an adjustment. What makes her good is that she s got a good game plan on how she s going to play a course. Three other players have worked their way into the lineup for the Terrapins, with a fourth player ready to push the other three to play well. Lara Peffley transferred to Maryland after two seasons of leading the team at Radford (Va.) University. Following in the path of her brother, Blaine, who transferred to the Maryland men s team, Peffley has been an important part of the lineup by having her scores count toward the team total in 82 percent of the team rounds. She s bought into the program, said Rodenhaver. We ve counted almost every round she s played. The more she plays in our program, the better she ll get. She s very consistent and drives the ball extremely well. Hilary Lawson, a freshman from nearby Gaithersburg, Md., finished third on the team in the fall with a 77.2 scoring average. She posted a fourth-place finish at Penn State in the fall and had 86 percent of her rounds count toward the team total. She s an extremely talented player, said Rodenhaver. She could be the longest player we ve ever had here. The more she plays, the more confident she will get. She can manhandle a golf course with her length and has the chance to make birdies on a number of par-5s. Another freshman, Kerri Connolly, has earned a spot in the starting lineup, playing to a 78.1 scoring average in 14 fall rounds. She matched Maryland s lowest 54-hole total of the fall season with a 222 total at the Cougar Classic in her collegiate debut. Kerri is the best athlete on the team, Rodenhaver said. She s very competitive and is a strong player. She played well early and has been up-and-down a bit like most freshmen. Carla Wasienko is a junior who has been in the program for two seasons and has improved to the point where she s ready to push her way into the lineup. Her 2-under-par 70 tied for the low 18-hole score of the fall and she tied for fourth while playing as an individual at Richmond. Carla is going to be a big factor for us in the spring, said her coach. She s worked on her game and is really ready to play. She gives us an option and I look for her to try to get in the lineup in the spring. Sophomore Jessica Unger is another player working on her game with an eye toward contributing in the spring. Maryland returns to action in late February in the Cuthbert Cup at Kiawah Island, S.C. The Atlantic Coast Conference Championships will be held April 18 to 20 in Daytona Beach, Fla.

5 head coach Jason Rodenhaver NINTH 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 ninth 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 has reached recently. In the past two seasons, Maryland has exploded onto the regional and national scene. The Terrapins made their second straight NCAA regional appearance in 2007 and played well in the tough Atlantic Coast Conference Championships, putting two players in the top 20 and finishing sixth as a team. Over the last two seasons, Maryland has won four team championships after winning three titles in the first seven years of the program. The women's golf team reached its first NCAA postseason event in Spring 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, 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.

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 student-athletes 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.

16 16 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.

During President Mote s second year in office, the University began the largest building boom in its history, with more than $100 million in new projects breaking ground that year. New facilities address every aspect of university life, from the arts to recreation to classrooms and laboratories, and, in creative partnership with the private sector, new residential facilities. Highlights of the construction activity include the stunning Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center; the Comcast Center, a state of the art sports complex; a high tech research greenhouse; and new classrooms for chemistry, computer science, business and engineering. President Mote also led the development of a new Facilities Master Plan for development in the next 20 years, which is noted for its emphasis on environmental stewardship. Dr. Mote is a leader in the national dialogue on higher education and his analyses of shifting funding models have been featured in local and national media.

18 18 deborah a. yow Director of Athletics 14th Year at Maryland Deborah A. Yow is in the 14th year of her outstanding tenure as director of athletics at the University of Maryland, a tenure that has seen unprecedented success and achievement in Maryland athletics. In Yow's 13-plus years at Maryland, the Terrapins have won a remarkable 15 national championships and graduated student-athletes at an enviable rate as Maryland athletics has soared to sustained new heights among the nation's elite intercollegiate athletic programs. The comprehensive success of Terrapin athletics under Debbie Yow's leadership is a clear and compelling testimony of her values of excellence, teamwork and accountability. Likewise, her prior election to the presidency of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics is an indication of the wide respect with which she is regarded among its 6,100 members representing 1,600 colleges and universities in the U.S. and Canada. She has been honored by Street and Smith's Sports Business Journal as one of the 20 most influential people in intercollegiate athletics and she has received the Carl Maddox Sport Management Award presented by the United States Sports Academy for excellence in athletics administration. Dr. Yow was selected to serve on the U.S. Department of Education's Commission on Opportunities in Athletics to review the status of Federal Title IX regulations. She recently served as the chair of the Atlantic Coast Conference Committee on Television. The committee is charged with overseeing the league's TV contracts and dealing with issues related to television, including multi-year ACC football and basketball contracts with ABC, ESPN, ESPN2 and syndication entities. In January 2008, she will become a member of the Board of Directors of the National Football Foundation. Additionally, she has represented intercollegiate athletics with presentations in a number of prominent settings such as the Harvard University School of Law conference on "Shaping the Future of Collegiate Athletics" and the Street and Smith's Sports Business Journal "National Forum on the Direction of Intercollegiate Athletics" in New York. She was also recently inducted into the State of Maryland Women's Hall of Fame and the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame, joining fellow Terp Buck Williams as honorees. Yow, who has served on the NCAA Management Council and the NCAA Division I Budget Committee, is a strong and steady voice on behalf of intercollegiate athletics in America. In december of 2004, deborah a. yow was named one of the most influential people in college athletics by street & smith s sports business journal. Since taking over as AD at Maryland in 1994, she and her staff have: Transformed Terrapin athletics into a responsive, goaloriented organization with 27 sports and more than 700 student-athletes. Balanced all 13 of the department's annual budgets (none of the budgets were balanced in the 10 years prior to her arrival). The budget has now reached $56 million annually and the multi-million dollar accumulated operating debt which her administration inherited has been eradicated. Greatly enhanced the academic support services provided for student-athletes, with an enviable exhausted eligibility graduation rate of approximately 85 percent for student athletes at Maryland. Led the Terrapins to a national all-sports ranking in the upper 7 percent of all NCAA Division I institutions. Significantly expanded marketing and fund-raising efforts on behalf of Terrapin athletics.

In football, the Terps won the 2001 Atlantic Coast Conference championship and played in the 2002 Orange Bowl, followed that with an 11-win season and a 30-3 victory over the University of Tennessee in the Peach Bowl, again followed by a 10-win season and a 41-7 win over West Virginia in the Gator Bowl on New Year's Day In the season, Maryland returned to the bowl scene, where the Terps beat Purdue, 24-7, in the Champs Sports Bowl.

In , 24 Maryland teams competed in postseason play. The productivity, morale, and the competitive and academic achievement of Terrapin athletics are exceptional and continue to gain momentum. Regarding the many achievements of Terrapin athletics over the past 13 years, Yow says, "We are pleased, but we are not satisfied... our vision is to be one of the Top 5 programs in the nation consistently... we see no reason to settle for less." Yow is known for her goal-oriented and proactive management style. She consistently inspires and challenges those around her to "raise our sights and sharpen our tools... to work hard and work smart... to recognize that our only limitations are those that we place upon ourselves." As a manager and a leader, she clearly models these principles. She is the only known current AD in NCAA Division Dr. Yow with Boomer Esiason (left), Bonnie Bernstein (center) and Steve Francis (right). I who has hired both the National Coach of the Year in football (while at Maryland) and the National Coach of the Year in men's basketball (while at Saint Louis University). In 2002, she also brought to the University of Maryland Brenda Frese, who at that time was the National Coach of the Year in women's basketball. Four years later, Frese led the Terrapins to the NCAA National Championship at the Women's Final Four in Boston. Dr. Yow is known as "a coach's AD," while also being highly organized and a strategic and proactive leader and administrator. Quite simply, Debbie Yow personifies the relational and management dynamics that are necessary to be an excellent administrator and leader. A successful former basketball coach at the University of Kentucky and University of Florida, she moved into athletics administration at the University of Florida and the University of North Carolina, Greensboro, followed by a successful tenure as AD at Saint Louis University. She has authored numerous articles and books on athletics management and human behavior, and is a respected leader in intercollegiate athletics in the United States. Summing up the entire Maryland athletics program, our athletics director recently stated, "We have the finest studentathletes, coaches, support staff and administrative team in America. It is because of their courage, hard work and cooperative spirit that we now have a strong, viable athletic program. I am immensely proud of each of them. I am equally proud of our Terrapin fans who buy tickets, our Terrapin Club members who faithfully support the Maryland athletic program with their donations for scholarships, and the M Club members who serve and give liberally. We are also blessed with a terrific President, Dr. Dan Mote, who has fostered a mindset of excellence across our institution. He is a strong and balanced advocate for what he calls 'the three A's of the University -- Academics, the Arts and Athletics'. We have a great Terrapin family. That's the foundation for all of our success... and the basis for our bright future. It's a great time to be a Terp."

21 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 student-athletes 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 studentathlete 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 works with the Maryland women's golf 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 professional academic counselors, a director of enrichment programs, an assistant program coordinator and a graduate assistant. In addition, a new academic wing was added to the Gossett football team house recently. It features offices for two counselors, a program coordinator and three learning specialists; 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 committee The Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (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) C H A M P S / L i f e S k i l l s P r o g r a m. 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 student-athlete 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 studentathletes 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 well-balanced 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.
