2 • 2004 NCAA Tournament Round of 16 •• 2005 Southern Conference Co-Champions 2005 Southern Conference Co-Champions

Success has followed Michael Parker throughout his collegiate coaching career. One of the winningest coaches in collegiate soccer history, Parker is in his 31st season as a head coach having won six national titles, rolling up 451 wins and 19 NCAA Tournament appearances.

More impressive than that is that Parker has gone through those 30 seasons never having endured a losing record as a head coach. Putting that into perspective, consider these coaches, some of which can’t say the same thing in their respective sports:

• Bobby Bowden, Florida State football coach, coached his 30th season at FSU last year. He was sub-.500 his fi rst

year and hasn’t had one since.• Mike Krzyzewski, Duke men’s bas-

ketball coach, has coached for 31 seasons and has endured four sub-.500 records (two at Duke and two at Army).

• North Carolina men’s basketball coach Dean Smith had one losing season and another at exactly .500 in 36 years with the Tar Heels. He closed out his career with 33 straight winning campaigns.

• Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summit is in the same class as Parker, having coached UT to a better

than .500 record in all 31 seasons wiith the Lady Vols.

• Former Miami, FL baseball coach Ron Fraser, recently inducted into the new College Baseball Hall of Fame, coached the Hurricanes to a better than .500 record in all 30 of his seasons in South Beach.

To put Parker’s success into even more of a historical perspective, only 10 coaches in collegiate soccer history (all divisions) have ever won more games. Parker is one of 11 collegiate coaches to ever roll up 451 career wins, and just the fourth to do so at the Division I level.

In addition, Parker ranks fi rst among active Division I coaches in victories. Entering this season, he is third among active coaches in winning percentage at .735. That percentage also ranks 16th all-time in Division I history.

For all of his accolades at UNCG, Parker was inducted into the UNCG Athletics Hall of Fame in September 2005, making him the fi rst male coach to be inducted while still active.

Entering his 31st season overall and his 23rd at UNCG, Parker has a career record of 451-155-24. In his 22 seasons at UNCG, Parker has amassed a record of 339-126-17, which computes to a .718 winning percentage.

Parker’s six national titles –– five in Division III and one in Division II –– rank him fi rst among active men’s collegiate coaches. He is second all-time to the late Bob

2006 UNCG Men’s Soccer: Coaching Staff


Guelker, who won seven championships in 29 years.In 1993, Parker became the fi rst men’s soccer coach in NCAA history to lead a team to the NCAA Tournament in all three

divisions.In 2004, Parker coached in his 600th collegiate match when UNCG hosted High Point on October 27. At that time, UNCG

was also ranked No. 1 in the nation for the fi rst time since its move to NCAA Division I in 1991 and in the midst of 17-match unbeaten string to open the season. Proof yet again that the ‘ol coach hadn’t lost his magic touch. For his efforts, he earned NSCAA South Region Coach of the Year and SoCon Coach of the Year.

Parker’s teams have advanced to the NCAA Tournament seven times since the program’s elevation to Division I status, including appearances in the Round of 16 each of the last two years. Last year marked the fi rst time since the move to Division I that UNCG had won its fi rst two games of the tournament – beating James Madison and edging Virginia Tech in penalty kicks.

Parker came to UNCG in 1984 with the diffi cult task of continuing the success of a club which had won back-to-back national titles in 1982 and 1983 under the guidance of UNCG Hall of Fame member Mike Berticelli. But the Spartans won the Division III national crown in 1985, Parker’s second year at UNCG, which earned him Division III National Coach of the Year from the NSCAA and Dixie Conference Coach of the Year.

He followed that by directing the team to national titles in 1986 and 1987, becoming the fi rst coach to win three straight NCAA men’s soccer national championships.

In their gradual climb to Division I status, the Spartans were the NCAA Division II national runners-up in 1989 and Parker was named Division II National Coach of the Year by the NSCAA.

During Parker’s tenure, UNCG has won 10 conference titles, including six during its Division I era. Parker led UNCG to SoCon titles in 1997, 1998, 2004 and 2005. In fact, UNCG has the best winning percentage in Southern Conference action amongst member schools, going 57-13-3 since joining the league in 1997 for an .801 winning percentage.

Three of Parker’s national titles came as the head coach at Lock Haven, where his teams won back-to-back Division III championships in 1977 and 1978 and a Division II championship in 1980. His success with the 1980 team – at 21-0-0, the only unbeaten, untied team in the country – earned him NIKE/Soccer America Coach of the Year honors.

His teams have also claimed the NCAA Scoring Statstical Award twice (1998 & 2002) for having the nation’s leading scoring team. Last year, UNCG was 11th in the nation in scoring (2.26 goals per contest) and 25th in shutout percentage, averaging a blanking nearly every other match.

In addition to his success at the collegiate level, Parker has also achieved at the professional level as coach of the USISL Greensboro Dynamo. He coached the Dynamo from 1993-95 and won back-to-back USISL national championships. Parker has coached 11 All-Americans, including Siggi Eyjolfsson, UNCG’s fi rst three-time All-American, and current UNCG star Randi Patterson, whose All-American status last year led him to a US National Team U-20 camp invite. Patterson and teammate Scott Jones were the school’s fi rst-ever Hermann Award candidates in 2005.

Parker has also coached four Academic All-Americans, Eyjolfsson, Mark Fulk, Cliff Patterson and Darren McDonough.A native of Bradford, England, Parker was a graduate assistant coach at UNC Chapel Hill in 1971 before moving to Lock Haven as an assistant in 1972. After four years as an assistant, Parker

became the head coach in 1976.He earned a bachelor of science degree from Madeley College in Staffordshire, England, in 1968 and a master of education degree from UNC Chapel Hill in 1971.

Michael Parker accepts the 2005 SoCon Tournament Championship trophy along with Egill Atlason and Jay Benfi eld.

Justin Maullin is in his second season as an assistant coach at UNCG.Maullin, 31, is a native of Johannesburg, South Africa. Prior to coming to UNCG,

Maullin spent the last six seasons at Central Florida as an assistant to Golden Knights’ head coach Bob Winch. At Central Florida, he served as the program’s recruiting coordinator and also coordinated team travel and future scheduling.

Maullin attended William Carey College in Gulfport, MS. He graduated from William Carey in 1997 with a bachelor’s degree in management and marketing. During his time with the Crusaders, he served as a team captain and earned NAIA Academic All-America honors. He was also the university’s Student Body President in his junior and senior years. Maullin later earned a master’s degree from UCF in business administration in December 2001.

After his graduation from William Carey College, he stayed on with the Crusaders as an assistant men’s soccer coach for two seasons, helping to guide the Crusaders to back-to-back NAIA national semifi nal appearances.

Maullin also played junior professional soccer as an apprentice in South Africa and was a part of three national championships. In the United States, Maullin played for the New Orleans Gamblers of the A-League in 1993, the semi-pro Cocoa Express from 1995-97, the Mississippi Beach Kings of the indoor pro league from 1997-98 and with the Orlando Kraze of the Premier Development League from 1999-2001.

During Maullin’s tenure at UCF, the Golden Knights won 10 or more matches in fi ve out of six seasons, advancing to the NCAA College Cup each of the last three seasons.

Scott Brittsan is in his ninth year as an assistant coach with UNCG. Brittsan assists in all aspects of day-to-day operations, including practice planning and recruiting. He also coordinates all of the team’s strength and conditioning workouts. He is also an assistant director of the Spartan Soccer Camps. Prior to joining the Spartan staff, Brittsan was the varsity boys’ soccer coach at Greensboro Day School, where he compiled a record of 77-20 in fi ve years. In 1996, Brittsan was named Guilford County Coach of the Year and PACIS Conference Coach of the Year after leading the Bengals to a conference title and the state independent schools’ title game. Brittsan has also been active in Greensboro Soccer Club, where he has coached teams to two state titles. He was the 2003 Boys Classic Division Coach of the Year for the Greensboro Soccer Club. He is currently an assistant director with the Greensboro Soccer Club, overseeing the program’s U-15 and U-18 divisions. In addition, he also coordinates the strength and conditioning programs for the U-15 and U-18 divisions. He was also a coach for Michael Parker’s 1985 North Carolina ODP team. A 1994 graduate of UNCG, Brittsan was a three-year member of the Spartan men’s soccer team and was a member of the Division II national runner-up squad in 1989.

2006 UNCG Men’s Soccer: The Southern Conference


The Southern Conference, which enters its 86th season of intercollegiate competition in 2006, has become known as one of the nation’s leaders in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and defi ning the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models.

The Southern Conference has excelled as the premier Division I-AA football conference since earning that classifi cation in 1981. The Conference currently consists of 11 members in four states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships.

The Southern Conference is the nation’s fi fth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacifi c 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination.

Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the fi rst “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the college home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice.

Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athletes have been recognized countless times on CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams, highlighted this year by College of Charleston’s Phillip Coker, who was named Academic All-American of the Year in baseball. A total of 19 Rhodes-Scholarship winners have been selected from the conference.

The Southern Conference offi ce is located in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, SC. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a fi rst class meeting area as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents.

The Southern Conference was formed on February 25, 1921 at a meeting in Atlanta, GA. Fourteen institutions from the 30-member Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SIAA) reorganized as the Southern Conference. Those charter members included Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi State, North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. Athletic competition began in the fall of 1921.

In 1922, six more schools - Florida, Louisiana State, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tulane and Vanderbilt - joined the fold. A year later, the University of the South joined the ranks. Virginia Military Institute became a member in 1925 and Duke University came into the fold in 1929. Since then, conference membership has experienced a series of membership changes with 42 institutions having been affi liated with the league. The league has undergone two major transitions during its history.

The fi rst occurred in December 1932 when the Southeastern Conference was formed out of the 23-school Southern Conference. The league’s 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized to help reduce the extensive travel demands that were present in the league at the time. In 1936, the Southern Conference invited The Citadel, William & Mary, Davidson, Furman, Richmond and Wake Forest to join the membership.

The second major shift happened in 1953 when Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest offi cially withdrew from the league to form the Atlantic Coast Conference. This change was brought about due to the desire of many of those schools to schedule a greater number of regular season basketball games against their local rivals.

Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans four Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. The most recent addition, Elon University, joined the Southern Conference on July 1, 2003. The Phoenix replaced Virginia Military Institute which left the conference on June 30, 2003. East Tennessee State, which joined the SoCon in 1978, left the conference following the conclusion of the 2004-05 academic year.

The start of the 2006 campaign sees John Iamarino enter his

fi rst football season as the Southern Conference’s commissioner. Iamarino, who offi cially became the SoCon commissioner on January 2, 2006, previously served as the commissioner of the Northeast Conference for nine seasons.

In his nine years with the Somerset, NJ-based NEC, Iamarino promoted the conference through an ambitious agenda designed to improve the quality of competition, upgrade compliance-related matters and generally increase the marketing and brand awareness of the conference and its member institutions.

To improve the 21 championship NEC sports for the more than 2,200 student-athletes who compete, Iamarino helped secure professional facilities to accommodate baseball, indoor track & fi eld, tennis and women’s swimming championships. Tournament gifts, awards, trophies and event programs were all systematically upgraded.

Iamarino replaced Danny Morrison who served as commissioner from November 13, 2001 until June 15, 2005.

The Southern Conference named its fi rst commissioner in December 1950. Duke head football coach Wallace Wade made the transition from Blue Devil football coach to athletics administration as the fi rst person at the helm of the conference.

Lloyd Jordan replaced Wade as the commissioner in 1960 and served a 14-year term until Ken Germann became the league head in 1974. Germann was the commissioner for 13 years and orchestrated the league’s expansion to include women’s athletics. He was succeeded by Dave Hart in 1987 who spearheaded the transfer of the league offi ce from Charlotte, NC to Asheville, NC.

Wright Waters succeeded Hart upon his retirement in 1991. Under Waters’ leadership, the Southern Conference expanded to 12 members, added three women’s sports and posted record revenue from the basketball tournament. Waters, who is currently the commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference, was followed by Alfred B. White in 1998. White, a veteran member of the NCAA offi ce, introduced the current SoCon logo and elevated the conference’s commitment to marketing and development of corporate partners. He became the president of the Asheville franchise of the National Basketball Development League in 2001.

The fi rst Southern Conference Championship was the league basketball tournament held in Atlanta in 1922. The North Carolina Tar Heels won the tournament to become the fi rst recognized league champion in any sport. The Southern Conference Tournament remains the oldest of its kind in college basketball.

In May of 1923, the league held its fi rst outdoor track and fi eld championship in Montgomery, AL. Mississippi A&M (now Mississippi State) captured six individual titles on its way to winning the team championship. Two other sports - cross country and tennis - held their fi rst championships during the 1920s. North Carolina won the initial cross country team championship in 1926 in Athens, Ga. Tennis crowned its fi rst singles and doubles champions in New Orleans, La. in 1928. Donald Cram of Vanderbilt was the league’s fi rst singles champion, while Leonard Chamberlin and Maurie Bayon of Tulane won the doubles title.

The 1930s saw four more sports - wrestling, indoor track and fi eld, swimming and golf - celebrate their fi rst conference championships. VMI played host to and won the fi rst league wrestling team championship in 1930. Washington & Lee won the fi rst indoor track team championship, which also took place in 1930 and was held at Chapel Hill, NC. The University of Virginia hosted and won the fi rst league swimming championship in 1933, while Duke captured the fi rst conference golf team title at Sedgefi eld Country Club in Greensboro, NC later that same year.

Baseball was introduced as a Southern Conference sport in 1947 as Clemson captured the league championship that year. Rifl e held its fi rst conference championship in 1956, while soccer was the most recently added men’s sport in 1967.

The Southern Conference began sponsoring women’s sports during the 1983-84 season. That year, volleyball, basketball and tennis championships were held in the league. Cross country joined the mix in 1985 and the league began holding indoor and outdoor track championships in 1988. Most recently, the conference instituted golf and softball championships in the spring of 1994 and added soccer in the fall of 1994.

The Southern Conference currently declares champions in 10 men’s sports - football, soccer, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, wrestling, baseball, tennis and golf - and nine women’s sports - soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, indoor track and fi eld, outdoor track and fi eld, tennis, golf and softball.

In Memorium: Doug Hamilton

On March 9, 2006, the UNC Greensboro athletic department and the world of soccer lost a dear friend when Doug Hamilton passed away at the age of 43. Doug was a member of two of UNCG’s National Championship squads. But he was more recognized for his contributions to the game of soccer after he graduated from UNCG. Doug was a pioneer in Major League Soccer, most recently serving as the General Manager of the Los Angeles Galaxy. A seven-year veteran of MLS management, Hamilton was the MLS Executive of the Year each of the past three seasons. Under his guidance, the Galaxy reached heights it previously had not seen, winning MLS Cup 2002 in his fi rst season at the helm and capturing the U.S. domestic double -- MLS Cup and the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup -- this past season. Prior to joining the Galaxy, Hamilton spent two years as the Executive VP and General Manager of the Miami Fusion. Over the course of his tenure with the Fusion, the club saw a near 50 percent increase in attendance and won the 2001 MLS Supporters’ Shield as the club with the best regular season record. Hamilton also spent six years working for adidas America prior to his time with MLS, holding the posts of Director of Sports Marketing Latin America and, prior to that, Business Unit Manager of soccer as well as basketball. In 1997, he won both the Global Soccer Business Unit of the Year Award and the adidas America Business Unit of the Year awards, two honors given by adidas International and adidas America. A graduate of UNCG, Hamilton received a B.A. in Physical Education in 1990. While at UNCG, Hamilton was a member of two NCAA Division III national championship teams and earned All-Region First Team and Dixie Conference First Team honors in 1985. After graduating, he became the head coach of the Greensboro College men’s soccer team, posting a 59-22-4 record in four seasons.

Doug Hamilton poses with teammates at the 2004 UNCG Athletics Hall of Fame Induc-tions.

The 2004 Spartan squad was a No. 1-ranked team for four weeks, including three as a unanimous ranking in all four national polls. It was the fi rst time a UNCG squad had been ranked No. 1 since the program’s move to Division I. UNCG advanced to the NCAA Tournament’s round of 16 before falling in over-time to eventual national runners-up UC Santa Barbara.

Darren Powell celebrates his goal in UNCG’s 2-1 win over second-ranked North Carolina State on Sept. 11, 1991.

Homecoming/FallFest Weekend GamesAt The University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Homecoming is celebrated during FallFest weekend, most years in conjunction with a men’s soccer game.

30 2004 Southern Conference Champions • 2004 NCAA Tournament Round of 16 • 2005 Southern Conference Co-Champions

The UNCG Soccer Stadium is a modern soccer-only facility located in the heart of campus. Both the men’s and women’s teams will enter their 16th season in the state-of-the-art facility.

Prior to the 1990 season, UNCG played on the same site, which was then-known as Campus Field. However, prior to the start of the 1991 season, the stadium underwent a major facelift to become what fans see today.

Prior to the renovation, the UNCG men’s soccer team was as dominant on its home field as it is today. With the exception of most of the 1981 season and all of the 1982 season, the site of UNCG Soccer Stadium has served as the home field for the Spartans for more than 25 seasons. In that time, UNCG is an amazing 226-71-15 (.748).

Still today, the $3.6 million stadium rivals any collegiate soccer facility in the nation. Among its several outstanding features:

• Permanent seating for 3,540 spectators in the grandstand along the east sideline, including 1,112 chairback seats in three sections at midfield and another 2,428 bleacher seats (with backs) in four other sections.

• Lighting, at 150-candle power, to accomodate live TV coverage.

• A soccer scoreboard with message center, press box and brick wall completely surrounding the facility.

• A bermuda style natural-grass playing field equipped with a state-of-the-art drainage system capable of removing up to six inches of water within a 24-hour period.

• A Wall of Honor recognizing outstanding UNCG soccer players and coaches on the stadium concourse (pictured at the bottom of the page).

The stadium’s opening coincided with UNCG’s entry into NCAA Division I competition. It was dedicated before a sellout crowd September 7, 1991, as the men’s team christened the new facility with a 3-1 win over Campbell. Four nights later, the squad stunned the college soccer world by defeating then-No. 2 NC State, 2-1.

The first women’s soccer game played in UNCG Soccer Stadium was against Duke on September 11, 1991. The Blue Devils blanked the Spartans, 4-0. The first victory for UNCG came in a 7-0 rout of Erskine on September 13, 1991.

UNCG owns one of the strongest home field advantages in the country. In 15 seasons in the stadium, the women’s team is 105-47-8 (.681), while the men’s team is 111-33-8 (.757).

The largest crowd to attend a UNCG athletic event at the stadium was 4,225 on Oct. 5, 1991, for a homecoming men’s soccer game against Ohio State. The Spartans won 6-0. Besides providing UNCG’s teams with a first-class home, the stadium has also attracted a number of outside events to the

campus. UNCG hosted the semifinal and final rounds of the NCAA Women’s Soccer Championship in 1997 and 1998, focusing nationwide attention on Greensboro. A championship-re-cord 20,058 fans attended in 1998, including a stadium single-event record 10,583 for the final. The championship was nationally tele-vised by ESPN.

The stadium served as a site

for the U.S. Youth Soccer Association regional champi-onship during the summer of 1997. The Olympic champion women’s national soccer team played the opening game in the Victory Tour presented by Nike in the stadium April 24, 1997, defeating France.

Also, prior to the 1996 Olympic Games, the Norwegian women’s soccer team trained at the stadium and played an exhibition match against United States select players.

A match between the men’s national teams of the U.S. and Canada was played in the stadium in 1992. The stadium served as the home of the professional Greensboro Dynamo from 1993-95, and is the site of the NC East-West High School All-Star soccer games each year.

In the summer of 2001, the Boston Breakers of the WUSA held their preseason camp in the stadium.

UNCG Soccer Stadium has also hosted numerous Big

S o u t h , Southern Conference and NCAA Tournament matches, including the 2004 SoCon women’s soccer tournament and multiple rounds of the 2004 and 2005 NCAA Men’s Soccer Tournament.

2005 Southern Conference Tournament Champions • 2005 NCAA Tournament Round of 16 31

In 2005, UNCG ranked #2 nationally by “The Princeton Review” among best bargain public universities.

For the last six years, UNCG has been ranked in The Princeton Review’s “Best 357 Colleges” guide.

UNCG, with a campus currently covering 210 acres, was founded in 1892, making this the 115th year of its existence.

In the Fall of 2005, UNCG had a record enrollment of 16,060, including more than 12,000 undergraduates. Just five years earlier, the total enroll-ment at UNCG was less than 13,000.

The average SAT score for en-rolled freshman in 2005 was 1051, the highest it has ever been. 53 percent of the freshman class had a high school GPA of 3.5 or better.

In 2006, UNCG launched the Lloyd International Honors College.

UNCG is located just two hours from theAppalachian Mountains or three hours from the Carolina Beaches.

The Piedmont Triad is home to more than a million people, including 238,440 in Greensboro.

At the center of the UNCG campus stands a statue of the Roman Goddess Minerva. The original statue was a gift from the Class of 1907. James Barnhill (‘53) was com-missioned to create a new statue in 2003. Minerva has been a symbol for the University dating back to the first time it appeared on diplomas in 1892.

With a record number or more than 16,000 students enrolled for Fall 2005, a dedicated faculty and staff numbering more than 2,000, and exciting new developments underway, UNCG is rapidly taking its place as one of the finest institutions of higher learning in the country.

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro is classified by The Carnegie Foundation as a Doctoral/Research-Intensive University. The University was established in 1891 and became coeducational in 1963. The 210-acre campus is located one mile from the center of Greensboro, a city of 238,440. The Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point Metropoli-tan Statistical Area, commonly known as “The Triad” has a population of approximately

1.3 million.

University HistoryThe University has a rich history. It was chartered Feb.

18, 1891, as the State Normal and Industrial School (later College), the first state-supported school for the higher

education of women in North Carolina. The institution came into being as a direct result of a crusade made by Charles

Duncan McIver on behalf of the education of women. Other pioneers in public school ed-ucation — notably, Charles B. Aycock, Edwin A. Alderman, and James Y. Joyner — came to Dr. McIver’s assistance; but to him, more than to any other individual, the University owes its foundation.

In the past century the University has evolved in its mission, as suggested with its sequence of names. It was known first as the State Normal and Industrial School, and after 1896 as the State Normal and Industrial College until 1919. During the period 1919-1931 it was known as the North Carolina College for Women, and became the Woman’s College of the University of North Carolina from 1932 to 1963. It is warmly remembered as “the WC” by its many alumnae of the period.

During the years 1932-1963 the University was one of the three branches of the Consolidated University of North Carolina. The other branches included The Univer-sity of North Carolina (at Chapel Hill) and the North Carolina State College of Agri-culture and Engineering (at Raleigh). In 1962, the Board of Trustees recommend-ed that the Greensboro campus become coeducational at all levels of instruction beginning with the fall of 1964. Subsequently, by act of the General Assembly in the Spring of 1963, the name of the institution was changed to The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

In December of 1934, during the years of the Consolidated University, the Woman’s College Section of Phi Beta Kappa was installed.

On February 17, 1956 Epsilon Chapter of North Carolina was installed at this campus.

In October of 1971, the North Carolina General Assembly adopted legisla-tion which combined all 16 of the state-supported institutions of higher education into a single University of North Carolina. The UNC system is governed by a board of governors and administered by a president. Each constituent institution has a separate board of trustees and is administered by a chancellor.

The crusader for founding the institution, Charles Duncan McIver, served the institution as its first chief executive officer with the title of President. By act of the Board of Trustees in 1945, the title was changed to Chancellor. Dr. Patri-cia A. Sullivan became UNCG’s first woman chancellor in January 1995, suc-ceeding Dr. Debra W. Stewart, Dean of the Graduate School at North Carolina State University who was named Interim Chancellor in the summer of 1994.

During its first seven decades, the institution’s mission was to prepare women, primarily undergraduates, for the most effective living of that day. To-day that goal – effective living – remains the same, but its scope has been greatly expanded.

As UNCG, it now offers men and women over 150 graduate and under-graduate programs and provides opportunities to apply classroom learn-ing to real life situations through internships and practica. It also offers

students the chance to tailor-make their own programs of study

based on individual needs and goals.Although contemporary in its educational pro-

gram, UNCG is also realistic. In its effort to prepare graduates for effective living, it has built into its program the flexibility needed to meet the rapidly changing needs of society. UNCG, therefore, will remain a university in transition, not satisfied with yesterday or today, but always looking toward to-morrow.

The University CommunityOf the more than 16,000 students enrolled in

the fall of 2005, 68 percent were female. In ad-dition, 20 percent of the undergraduate student body and 13 percent of the graduate student body were minorities. UNCG’s enrollment increased 8.8 percent from the year before, the largest increase since 1974.

In the fall of 2005, UNCG enrolled a record 2,424 freshman, 45 percent of which ranked in the top quarter of their high school graduating class. In addition, 53 percent of the incoming freshman class had a high school GPA of 3.5 or higher (on a 4.0 scale).

The University also enrolled 1,253 transfer stu-dents. From those students first enrolled in the fall of 2004, 78 percent returned in the fall of 2005.

Among the more than 16,000 students at UNCG, 32 percent of the student body lives in on-campus housing.

Undergraduates have more than 100 areas of study from which to choose a major leading to one of six undergraduate degrees. In addition, there are 59 master’s degrees and 20 doctoral degrees of-fered.

Among the 855 members of the faculty, nearly three-fourths are full-time. More than 80 percent of the faculty hold doctorates or other terminal degrees. In the 2004-05 academic year, faculty engaged in 6,466 scholarly or creative works and published 56 books and 548 refereed articles. Fac-ulty members earned 220 grants, as well. In all, the UNCG faculty submitted 316 research proposals totalling $99.7 million.

Typically, UNCG awards more than 2,000 bachelor’s and nearly 1,000 master’s degrees dur-ing graduation festivities held each December and May. At the spring 2006 graduation ceremony, the University granted 1,326 bachelor’s degrees, 604 master’s degrees and 47 doctoral diplomas.

UNCG has long had a reputation for academic excellence and is one of only six higher education institutions in the state with a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa.

Athletes at UNCG are not an exception to the rule. At the end of each of the last two academic years, more than 40% of UNCG student-athletes held a grade-point-average of 3.0 or better. A re-cord 52 percent of UNCG’s student-athletes made the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll (3.0 GPA in a se-mester) in the Spring 2006 semester.

In October 2004, “Cosmo GIRL”, a magazine geared towards young women, rated UNCG one of the Top 50 institutions in America. For its study, the magazine focused on specific factors important to

Today’s UNCGThe University of North Carolina at Greensboro is one of the

fastest growing universities around. With a record 16,060 students enrolled, including 10,584 full-time undergraduates, the university has positioned itself for continued growth and success as the 21st century evolves. Despite record numbers of students, the student/faculty ratio is still just 16:1.

Today’s UNCG includes:• The College of Arts and Sciences, which is made up of the de-

partments of Anthropology, Art, Biology, Broadcasting and Cinema, Chemistry, Classical Studies, Communication, English, Geography, German and Russian, History, Mathematical Sciences, Philosophy, Physics and Astronomy, Political Science, Psychology, Religious Studies, Romance Languages, Sociology, and Theatre. It also in-cludes the Residential College and The Center for Critical Inquiry in the Liberal Arts.

• The Joseph M. Bryan School of Business and Economics, which was established in 1969 as the School of Business and Eco-nomics and renamed in 1987. It is made up of the departments of Accounting, Business Administration, Economics, Information Systems and Operations Management, the Center for Applied Re-search, the Center for Economic Education, and the Center for Global Business Education and Research. The Bryan School’s vision is to be recognized for the global business and information technology perspectives of its programs.

• The School of Education, which is made up of the departments of Counseling and Educational Development, Cur-riculum and Instruction, Educational Leadership and Cultural Foundations, Educational Research Methodology, Library and Information Studies, Specialized Education Services. Founded in 1921, the School of Education also includes The Collegium for the Advancement of Schools, Schooling and Education. The Collegium is comprised of the Center for Educational Research and Evaluation, the Center for Educational Studies and Development, the Center for Information Technologies Education, the Center for School Accountability and Staff Development, and the Piedmont Triad Horizons Education Consortium. The school’s teacher education programs for elementary and middle grades are considered among the best in North Carolina and the Southeast.

• The School of Health and Human Performance, which was established in 1970 as the School of Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance was renamed in 1990. The school offers academic programs of distinction in both theory and performance. It is made up of five departments: Communication Sciences and Disorders; Dance; Exercise and Sport Science; Public Health Education; and Recreation, Parks and Tourism.

• The School of Human Environmental Sciences, which was established in 1949 as the School of Home Economics and renamed in 1987. It prepares students for professional careers in fields which improve the quality of life for individuals and families. The school is made up of the departments of Housing and Interior Design, Human Development and Family Studies, Nutrition and Foodservice Systems; Social Work, and Textile Products Design and Marketing.

• The Graduate School, which was established in 1921, is responsible for the welfare of all of the graduate programs on campus and approximately 3600 graduate students from 33 states and 34 foreign countries. These students work with more than 500 graduate faculty members who are actively engaged in research, scholarship and creative activity.

• The School of Music, which was established in 1921, rated as one of the Top 20 in the country, combines rigorous theory, history, and performance training with a broad liberal arts education. The University opened a $25.7 million state-of-the-art music facility in 1999. It is the only comprehensive slate of performance and music education degrees from the baccalaureate through the doctorate in North Carolina.

• The School of Nursing, which was established in 1966, is the largest in North Carolina. It is recognized for the excellence of its programs and the success of its graduates. The master’s program in nurse anesthesia was ranked eighth nationally by U.S. News and World Report. In addition, UNCG is the first institution in the UNC system to offer a combined Master of Science in Nursing and Master of Business Administration in health management.

The Aubrey Paul & Georgia Garrison Lloyd International Honors College, which was established in 2006. It is named for the parents of Ms. Rebecca Lloyd, a patron of the College whose support has been invaluable in the formation of the Honors College. Ms. Lloyd’s gift, a $4 million endowment, was the largest-ever alumni gift at UNCG.

The International Honors College offers enhanced academics, international and global perspectives, and a variety of extra-curricular activities that will give its students the skills and knowledge needed to be admitted to the most prestigious graduate schools, to compete for nationally competitive awards like the Fulbright, and to start exciting careers in the United States and abroad.

Students in any major can choose from among its three different programs. All of these programs can be completed in the time it takes to earn a regular degree and offer a wide variety of small, innovative seminar-style courses that are the hallmark of a quality honors experience.

A special characteristic of the IHC is its emphasis on international and global perspectives. In today’s world, interna-tional and global perspectives are a necessary part of a solid, complete university education. At IHC, these perspectives are not isolated in a single course or two.

Instead, students can find those perspectives throughout the College’s programs – in most of its courses, in its hon-ors residence hall, and in a variety of extra- and co-curricular activities. For honors students who study abroad at one of UNCG’s partner universities, a travel fund is available.

Finally, the IHC operates on the principle that while courses are important, its students’ education is too important to be limited to the classroom. It offers its students a variety of special activities both at UNCG and abroad – an honor residence hall, special advising, student symposia, guest lectures and performances, informal coffees, internships and enhanced study abroad experiences.

female students: small class size, prominent female faculty, strong women’s athletic programs, a career center that facilitates internship opportunities, leadership options among clubs and activities and an active alumni network. The finalists were selected from 2,685 colleges and universities.

In August 2005, The Princeton Review rated UNCG the second-best bargain in its “The Best 357 Colleges” guide. It marked the sixth-straight UNCG appeared in the guide, and its highest-ever rating.

UNCG was also ranked in the Top 50 public universities by Consumer’s Digest, making it the only institution to appear in both rankings (Princeton Review and Con-sumer’s Digest).

In-state tuition and room and board rates for UNCG are just over $9,000 per year, while out-of-state rates are just over $20,000 per year.

Campus life is enriched by a “small college” atmosphere and many extracur-ricular and coeducational activities. There are more than 130 student organizations, an active Student Government, fraternities and sororities, and a Campus Recreation program which offers informal, intramural and club sports, as well as an extensive outdoor adventure program.

The more than 80 buildings on the campus reflect the 115-year history of the University. There are many new features, including a new, $26 million music building which opened in August 1999, and renovations to the Elliott University Center, which were recently completed. UNCG received approximately $166 million from the state for construction and renovation, based on voter approval of Higher Education Bonds. The $17.6 million Maud Gatewood Studio Arts Building and the $16.9 million Hall for Humanities and Research Administration are the centerpieces of the project. Ground-breaking took place in spring of 2001 and operations within the two buildings began this summer. In addition, construction began on a 400-student residence hall in 2005, which is expected to be completed for use during the 2006-07 academic year. Also included are renovations to the Student Health Center, Aycock Auditorium and Petty, Brown and McNutt buildings, as well as a connector between Jackson Library and the Elliott University Center. The many construction projects on the UNCG campus show the growth of the university, while at the same time attempting to preserve many of the structures that have made the institution what it is today.

The Second Century Campaign for UNCG, which concluded Dec. 31, 1998, raised $55.4 million over a five-year span to create 77 new scholarship and fellowship funds, as well as funds for research, programs and acquisitions.

In the Fall of 2004, the University announced that its newest campaign, entitled the Students First Campaign. The campaign has a fundraising goal of $78 million. The Students First Campaign will set aside $52 million for scholarships to make UNCG the school of choice for top high school students in the North Carolina and elsewhere.

Remaining funds will also be used for endowments to attract top professors, expansion of university facilities and ex-pansion of public services. UNCG hopes to meet its goal by the year 2009.

UNCG is a member of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges (NASULGC) and the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AASCU).

Dr. Patricia A. Sullivan, who has served as UNCG’s Chancellor since January 1, 1995, is the institution’s ninth chief executive and the first woman to serve in the position.

Her leadership has sustained UNCG’s record of excellence and prepared

a solid foundation for the future. UNCG was founded as State Normal and Industrial School, a college for women in 1891. The institution became coeducational in 1963. Today, UNCG offers a full range of undergraduate and graduate programs.

Sullivan led the University through a strategic planning process that produced the UNCG Plan. Created for five-year increments, the Plan provides a framework for enhancing UNCG’s position as a diverse, student-centered research university, linking the Triad and North Carolina to the world through learning, discovery, and service.

Under Dr. Sullivan’s leadership, enrollment at UNCG exceeded 16,000 last academic year for the first time ever, while academic standards for admission have increased. The campus continues to lead the UNC system in minority enrollment, underscoring UNCG’s commitment to diversity. New undergraduate programs for freshman include Communication Across the Curriculum and the living-learning communities.

Distinctive graduate programs include genetic counseling and management information systems, along with new Ph.D. programs in the areas of nursing, public health, economics, geography, history, information technology and special education.

Funding to support research and community projects has continued to grow, along with giving by the University’s friends and supporters. UNCG’s new Students First Campaign is under way, with a goal of raising $78.2 million through 2009. The earlier Second Century Campaign for UNCG, which ended in December 1998, raised $55.4 million, far exceeding the original goal of $42.8 million.

University ChancellorDr. Patricia Sullivan



Now in his 24th year as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics at UNCG, Nelson E. Bobb has developed a nationally recognized program that has continually succeeded in competition as well as in the classroom.

Bobb, the first full-time athletic director at the University, is the primary architect of a

program that now features 16 NCAA Division I teams, eight for men and eight for women.

When he arrived in July 1983, there were eight teams competing on the Division III level. The University authorized the shift to Division I in February 1987 and he guided the program through the unprecedented change in competitive status in only five years. UNCG is one of only a dozen institutions to ever compete in all three divisions. However, no other institution has made the complete shift of all teams from Division III to Division I in that time frame.

During his tenure, he has watched over the construction or renovation of all of the Spartans’ athletic venues. He began that process by serving on the committee that built Fleming Gymnasium and the HHP Building in 1989. He then moved onto the transformation of Campus Field in 1991 into what is today UNCG Soccer Stadium – one of the premier venues in all of college soccer. In 1999, he oversaw the construction of the UNCG Baseball Stadium and the renovation and lighting of the UNCG Tennis Courts. Last year, he added to the list the transformation of UNCG’s softball facility to become a top-of-the-line stadium venue, and the reconfiguration of seating in Fleming Gym, which added chairback seating on both sides and additional stands under one of the baskets.

Under Bobb’s guidance, Spartan student-athletes have consistently graduated at a rate equal to or higher than the general student population at UNCG. Each of the last two academic years, more than 40 percent of UNCG’s student-athletes earned Dean’s List. Last spring, a record 52 percent of student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA in the semester.

Other recent program accomplishments include completing the NCAA certification process for Division I institutions twice and successfully transitioning the department’s teams into Southern Conference membership.

Under Bobb’s leadership, UNCG hosted the final two rounds of the 1997 and 1998 NCAA Division I Women’s Soccer Championship, and was home to Olympic athletes from several countries for training prior to the Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996.

During his tenure, UNCG teams have won 34 conference tournament titles, 25 as an NCAA Division I member. They have also won 63 conference regular season titles, 37 of those since moving to NCAA Division I.

UNCG earned the Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in the Big South for three consecutive years. While Bobb was athletic director in the 1980’s, the men’s soccer team won four Division III national championships and the women’s basketball team made five consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances with a third-place finish in 1988.

During his tenure at UNCG, Bobb has also served in various NCAA appointments, including serving on one of the first NCAA Certification teams. Most recently, Bobb served on the Division I Men’s Soccer National Committee and had a two-year term as the chair of the NCAA Men’s and

Women’s Soccer Rules Committee.UNCG student-athletes have received numerous awards. In 1984, he

established the Chancellor’s Scholar-Athlete Award to honor the student-athlete(s) posting the highest grade-point average annually.

Bobb, a native of Gahanna, OH, oversees a staff of more than 50 full and part-time employees with administrative divisions of administration and business, student welfare, facilities and operations and integrated public affairs within the department.

Before coming to UNCG, Bobb served as an assistant athletic director at Cornell University for five years. He also served as an assistant football coach at Cornell for nine seasons.

A 1970 graduate of Kent State (OH) with a bachelor’s degree in education, Bobb also holds a master’s degree in secondary education from Kent. As an undergraduate, he was a three-year letterwinner on the football team as an offensive guard and earned All-Academic recognition from the Mid-American Conference as a junior. He was an all-conference choice his senior year.

The overnight success of the UNCG athletics program has been some 60 years in the making.

Spartan teams are big achievers in their 16th year in Division I competition.

The success story however, began while UNCG was still the Women’s College of the University of North Carolina and intercollegiate competition for women was still in its infancy.

1940sNancy Porter may have been the first student-athlete in the modern sense of the word at UNCG. The Ohio native competed in national women’s golf tournaments as early as 1948.

1950sWomen’s College hosted the 10th national golf tournament in 1954 at Starmount Country Club. The College fielded regionally competitive teams that had their beginnings in club sports, play days and other recreational events.

LPGA Hall of Famer Carol Mann was a student at UNCG. She left school early to turn professional.

The University became co-educational in 1963.

Men’s athletics were added in 1967-68 and the intercollegiate program for men and women received formal recognition from the University. During the fall of 1967, the nickname Spartans was adopted, giving the athletic teams a “fierce mascot, while still preserving the heritage of the WC’s Minerva mark.”

Men’s teams joined the Dixie Conference in 1968.

Bowling was one of the early men’s teams.

1970sThe women’s basketball team finished fourth in the National Collegiate Tournament in 1971. The team was one of the first to compete with the five-player rule.

UNCG was a leader in forming the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW).

1980sThe men’s basketball team, coached by Larry Hargett, won the Dixie Conference Championship and competed in the NCAA Division III Tournament in 1980.

Ryan Fox won the 1981 individual national title in Division III men’s golf.

In the spring of 1981, the University streamlined its program from 12 to eight teams, all competing at the NCAA Division III level. The 1981-82 academic year was the first in which the NCAA sponsored women’s championships.

The men’s soccer team was ranked in the national Top-20 for the first time in September of 1981. It did not leave the poll for another 10 years.

Coached by Lynne Agee, in her first season, the women’s basketball team finished runner-up in the inaugural Division III championship in 1982. It was the first of seven straight NCAA trips for the team.

With Mike Berticelli at the helm, UNCG captured its first men’s national champi-onship in soccer in 1982 and then repeated in 1983.

The women’s tennis team, under Agee’s direction, was the national runner-up in 1983.

Nelson E. Bobb was hired as the first full-time athletic director in 1983.

The women’s volleyball team posted a 34-3 record and reached the NCAA quarterfi-nals in 1984.

Men’s soccer player Eddie Radwanski, the first two-time All-American in the program’s history, was the first pick in the Major Indoor Soccer League draft in 1985.

Under Michael Parker’s direction, the men’s soccer team became the first in NCAA history to win three consecutive national championships, in 1985, 1986 and 1987.

In February of 1987, the University announced the elevation of the athletic program from Division III to Division I, an unprecedented move in NCAA history.
