THE MARQUETTE GOLF TEAM has the privilege of calling the Brown Deer Golf Course its home. The Brown Deer Golf Course has long attracted national attention and has routinely appeared in the media lists of the top 10 public courses in the country. It has played host to the USGA National Public Links Championship three times and has been home of the Greater Milwaukee Open since 1994. The Brown Deer Golf Club opened for play in July of 1929 and was a big hit with golfers from the start. Brown Deer was designed by long-time Park Superintendent George Hansen, who designed five of Milwaukee County s 16 courses. Brown Deer offers golfers 6,759 yards of challenging play. It offers long par fours (five over 400 yards), requiring strong drives that must avoid abundant stands of large trees. The course crosses streams at eight locations, with ponds adjoining three of the holes. This traditional course features sand bunkers coming into play on nearly every hole. In addition, water hazards come into play on 10 holes. Most of the narrow fairways are tree lined, and the undulating greens are fast. The Brown Deer course has benefitted from major improvements over the years. Since 1985, nearly $3 million in renovations have been made to prepare it for the GMO. In the future, additional improvements are planned for the course and the clubhouse. Brown Deer Park Golf Course is part of the Milwaukee County Park System which includes 15 other golf courses and numerous other recreational facilities. The system includes everything from beaches on Lake Michigan to the Milwaukee County Zoo and everything in between. Brown Deer Park itself besides the championship golf course includes a lagoon, softball diamonds, tennis courts, volleyball courts and numerous picnic facilities.

MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY OFFERS its student-athletes the finest in athletic facilities. The 14 athletic teams that represent the university train, strengthen and get treatment at the Marquette Gym on campus. The MU Gym also serves as home of Golden Eagles volleyball and serves as practice facilities for men s and women s basketball. MU s men s and women s basketball teams have the opportunity to call one of the finest facilities in the country home Al McGuire Court at the Bradley Center. The Bradley Center will host the 2004 NCAA Men s Basketball First and Second Rounds. Women s basketball also plays its home contests in the historic and recently-renovated U.S. Cellular Arena. Valley Fields serves as home to Marquette soccer and track and field with its sprawling, three-field complex providing plenty of room for the Golden Eagles to practice and compete. Men s and women s tennis plays in one of the finest facilities in the region. The Helfaer Tennis Stadium is a sixcourt indoor facility that offers yearround playing and training. 13

MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY is a Catholic, Jesuit university. That s simple enough to say, but what does it mean? Why should it matter to you? THE CORE: For more than 450 years, Jesuit education has been synonymous with academic excellence. At its heart is a rigorous core curriculum. Marquette undergraduates take a combination of courses in philosophy, speech, literature, history, mathematics and theology. The core provides a foundation of skills the ability to think critically, ask the right questions, formulate and support an argument, communicate clearly, and act with moral integrity that will serve you the rest of your life. A Marquette education won t teach you what to think. It will teach you how to think. 14 EXPECTATIONS: Our professors will expect much from their students; you also should expect much from them. Expect to be challenged and inspired, but also treated with dignity and respect. The Marquette education is a dynamic experience. Expect to be an active participant. REAL WORLD PREPARATION: Our location in downtown Milwaukee, the nation s 17th largest city, provides a wealth of opportunities to explore career interests and sharpen critical professional and personal skills. Internships, co-ops and clinical rotations are available to all Marquette students in every academic field. As early as freshman or sophomore year, students work throughout Milwaukee in government and media, advertising and health care, Fortune 500 and Future 50 companies. Employers value the talent and professionalism our students bring to their environment our students value the opportunity to test career options and gain important experience. Professional preparation combined with Marquette s academic reputation gives our students a decided advantage when seeking employment or placement in graduate school. More than 98 percent of graduates are where they want to be within six months of graduation. FINDING GOD IN ALL THINGS: Faith is an important part of life at Marquette. As a Catholic, Jesuit institution, we provide an atmosphere that fosters spirituality for students of all faiths through religious services, personal and group retreats, and conversations within the university community. The Marquette experience encourages students to lead reflective lives and to find God in all things. LEADERS IN SERVICE: Our students act upon their faith with an unparalleled zest for service. You will find Marquette students working throughout the city and around the country in service to others -- in soup kitchens, Hunger cleanup, the Marquette Action Program and hundreds of other activities. Marquette s student population is so active in the community that, for the past three years, it has been recognized by national publications as one of the top 20 in the nation for community service.

WHAT MAKES A GREAT CITY? Many things, of course, but among the most important are a vibrant downtown and strong neighborhoods, each with its own distinctive character and sense of place. What makes a great university? Outstanding faculty, committed students, topnotch facilities, a distinctive mission and, yes, a sense of place. Jesuit universities have historically been located in the heart of great cities, and Marquette University is no exception. But like most urban universities, Marquette's campus developed piecemeal a building here, another around the corner, a third a couple of blocks away. Over the years, the university has knit together a core campus, but esthetically the whole is still less than the sum of its parts. The Campus Identity and Beautification Project will bring it all together. The initial focus is on Wisconsin Avenue historically Milwaukee's main street and Marquette's front door as well as segments of 12th and 16th Streets. Later phases of the project will deal with the interior of campus. Those streets will be improved with a unified system of historic lighting, signage, distinctive paving and crosswalk treatments, substantial tree planting and landscaping, and portal entries and campus gateways that together will help better define the edges of campus. Special paving at the intersection of 12th Street and Wisconsin Avenue will form a plaza in front of Gesu Church that responds to the grandeur of this 100-year-old church's façade. The university's plans have been developed in partnership with the city's Department of Public Works and Department of City Development, and have the strong support of the mayor's office, other local elected officials and community groups. Indeed, the city has committed to repaving the segments of Wisconsin Avenue, 12th and 16th Streets covered by this project in conjunction with Marquette s work, while the Avenues West Association will be partnering with the city to extend a complementary program of street improvements from 16th Street west to 27th Street along Wisconsin Avenue. One reason for their support is that creating a stronger, more recognizable identity for Marquette as an entity within the surrounding urban fabric also enhances the university's role as a major gateway to a newly energized downtown. 15

16 WHETHER ON OR OFF THE PLAYING FIELDS, Marquette student-athletes have the best in support to become as productive and talented as possible. From the finest in facilities, to top notch coaches, to the best academic support staff around, MU offers all the tools for quality performances on the court and solid decision making away from the athletic venues. Last year was no exception for Golden Eagles success. The women s cross country started the year off a conference title with its second-consecutive trip to the NCAAs and landed five on the all-conference squad. The men s cross country team was a mere points from matching the women s team s success, having one of its better years. On the soccer fields, MU advanced to the Conference tournament final for the sixth straight year and wound up in the NCAA tournament for the third time in a row. The men s side rebounded from a sixth place regular season finish to advance to the league s championship match. The volleyball squad was one win shy of a 20 win season and surged late, advancing to the semifinals of the Conference USA tournament. Perhaps the story of the year was the men s basketball squad. Sophomore Dwyane Wade led the team to the championship game of the C-USA tournament and to the NCAAs for the first time since 1997. The women s basketball team gave head coach Terri Mitchell her 100th career win and made her the winningest coach in school history in the sport. In tennis, the men s squad faced injuries and finished ninth in the league, but the women s squad overcame adversity to come within one key match of winning the league title. Junior Brianna Dahm and senior Julie Sorrentino led the women s track and field squads to the top of the conference. Both qualified for the NCAA outdoor championships after a third place team finish in the indoor season and a second place finish in the outdoor year. The men s squad had respectable finishes in the indoor year (fifth) and outdoor season (sixth). The men s golf team struggled at times due to a lack of depth and experience, but freshman Nathan Colson showed his potential, winning an individual tournament and finishing in the top 10 four times. Many Golden Eagles earned postseason honors with 53 being named to the All-Conference USA squads. Two women s soccer players and one men s soccer player were named Academic All-Americans as well and two women s soccer players were named honorable mention All- Americans. Off the court, MU student-athletes really reflected the student part of their title. All sports were represented by 92 student-athletes on the C-USA Commissioner s Honor Roll, which is awarded to those with a 3.0 GPA or higher. Nineteen student-athletes were given the C-USA Medal of Honor for having a 3.75 GPA or better for the academic year. Two teams men s golf and women s basketball were tops in the conference in team GPA for their sport.

IN THE WORLD OF INTERCOLLEGIATE SPORTS, many considered the formation of Conference USA a bold move. Its formation occurred during a significant period of major conference realignment and restructuring of the NCAA. C-USA established a strong foundation while quickly earning a reputation of successfully competing at the highest levels of intercollegiate athletics. Capitalizing on the strengths of its 15 distinguished and diverse universities, C-USA has quickly emerged as one of the nation s top conferences. A PROUD HISTORY The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner on April 24, 1995 in Chicago. Mike Slive was named the first commissioner of Conference USA. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league s headquarters were established in Chicago. PROMISE IN EXPANSION Conference USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the Army (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. South Florida starts C-USA football n 2003. COMPETITION Conference USA sponsors 19 sports baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, soccer, tennis, and track and field (indoor and outdoor) for men and basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, track and field (indoor and outdoor), and volleyball for women. The league s championship competition is enhanced by NCAA automatic bids in volleyball, men s and women s basketball, men s and women s soccer, men s and women s tennis and baseball. SUCCESS ON THE PLAYING FIELD Conference USA performers have achieved great success in competition, placing the league among the top conferences in the nation. In men s hoops, 44 teams have advanced to the post season, with 24 going to the NCAAs. The league has had two teams advance to the elite eight and drew 1.9 million fans last season. In women s basketball 25 teams have advanced to the NCAAs, while 20 have gone to the NCAAs in volleyball. In addition, 23 men s and women s soccer teams, 19 baseball teams and six softball teams have earned NCAA Tournament bids. Tulane made its first appearance at the College World Series in 2001. C-USA has also sent two men s soccer teams to the Final Four and two teams to the Women s College World Series. The league has also had three national champions in NCAA track and field competition and numerous NCAA individual and team competitors in golf, tennis and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 237 NCAA appearances. 17

WELCOME TO SOUTHEASTERN Wisconsin, the home of beautiful scenery and friendly people. Milwaukee has been nicknamed A Great Place on a Great Lake, a name that really applies to the entire region, from Ozaukee County south to the Illinois state line and from Lake Michigan west to the glacial hills of Waukesha and Washington counties. Nestled on the western shores of Lake Michigan, this region is the hidden jewel of the Upper Midwest. It blends small town ambiance and big city excitement into a way of living that quickly captures the hearts of newcomers, many of whom never want to move away. Southeastern Wisconsin offers a wealth of business and social opportunities. Its diversified economy is built on a firm foundation of industrial, high-tech and service jobs. The area s rich ethnic heritage has spawned a variety of colorful events and award-winning restaurants. But this is no news to people who live here. Southeastern Wisconsin has been a great home town since Native Americans arrived hundreds of years ago. For festivals and fun, Milwaukee can t be beat. From May through September the city vibrates with a dizzying array of activities, including parades, music festivals, ethnic celebrations and church socials, bicycle races, sailing regattas, block parties and art fairs. Sports fans can attend professional basketball, baseball, soccer and hockey games, or they can watch Marquette University teams battle NCAA opponents. There are more than 15,000 acres of parkland in Milwaukee County alone, or about one acre for every 60 residents. This includes several miles of public lakefront along the eastern edge of the downtown. And for those who are itching to drive, there are many nearby attractions, both man-made and natural. Chicago and Madison are less than 90 minutes away, while Wisconsin s North Woods, Michigan s Upper Peninsula and beautiful Door County can be reached in just a few hours. The city of Milwaukee is located on the western shore of Lake Michigan, about 90 miles north of Chicago. With a population of 612,740, it is the largest city in Wisconsin and the 17th-largest city in the nation. As defined by the federal government, the Milwaukee metropolitan area includes the four counties that surround the city Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Waukesha. Nearly 1.5 million people live in the four-county region, which makes it the 36th-largest metropolitan area in the country. Although located just 20 minutes south of Milwaukee, Racine is classified as its own metropolitan area, with an estimated population of 85,000. Southeast Wisconsin is ideally located. Nearly 64 million people, or one-fourth of the nation s population, live within 600 miles of Milwaukee. Yet nature is always close by whether you want to sail on Lake Michigan or hike a bluff that was carved out by glaciers more than 11,000 years ago.

CLIMATE: Milwaukee is located on roughly the same latitude as Eugene, Ore.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Boston, Mass.; and Genoa, Italy. Because of the metropolitan area s northern location, its residents can truly enjoy the beauty found in each of the four seasons whether it be the cherry and apple blossoms of spring, the refreshing lake breezes of summer, the brilliant colors of fall or the glistening, peaceful snows of winter.
