HEAD COACH
Jenny Graap ‘86
Head Coach of Women’s Lacrosse Jenny Graap returned to her alma mater in 1997 with one goal in mind: To build the Cornell women’s lacrosse team into a championship contender. In four short seasons, she has taken the Big Red from a team that finished 5-9 the season prior to her arrival to a squad which earned its first-ever NCAA tournament bid and is expected to contend for an Ivy League title in 2002. She has posted a 40-21 record in four seasons at Cornell and a 61-65 mark in eight years as a head coach. The 2001 season was a banner year for Cornell lacrosse, which finished with a record of 11-4 and received an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. The Big Red used a balanced offense and a stingy defense to go 5-2 in Ivy League play, good for a third place tie, matching its best-ever finish in the conference. Cornell ranked fourth in the country in scoring defense (7.00 goals allowed per game), while averaging nearly 10 goals per game. Five players were honored when All-Ivy League teams were announced, and both Jaimee Reynolds and Katie McCorry were named third team AllAmericans. Additionally, Reynolds earned Verizon/CoSIDA Academic All-America first team honors. Graap’s 2000 squad set numerous records, including wins in a season (13), most goals (210) and most points scored (318), in collecting its highest-ever Ivy League finish — third place — and ending the year at 13-4. The team capped the year with the Eastern College Athletic Conference title, running through Sacred Heart 17-4 and Johns Hopkins 16-4. In 1999, the Big Red made its first ECAC tournament appearance since 1993 and wrapped up the season with a 9-6 mark. Graap is used to meeting challenges that are presented to her. Prior to returning to Cornell, she had been the head lacrosse coach at George Mason for four years. In 1994, the first year the Patriots sponsored the sport, the team went 3-12 and under Graap’s tutelage, they improved to 6-10 in 1997 with a significantly stronger schedule.
A 1986 graduate of Cornell’s College of Human Ecology, Graap was an assistant women’s lacrosse coach at Penn State from 1990-93, while completing a master’s degree in exercise and sport science. During her time with the Nittany Lions, they made three NCAA tournament appearances. Graap was also a field hockey and lacrosse intern at William Smith College from 1989-90. She received her first coaching experience as the head lacrosse mentor at the Oak Knoll School of the Holy Child in Summit, N.J., in 1989. During her undergraduate days, Graap captained both the field hockey and lacrosse teams as a junior and senior, and earned a total of eight varsity letters in the two sports. She was second-team All-Ivy in field hockey as a senior, and is tied for 14th on the Cornell all-time career list with 24 points on 11 goals and two assists. Her 11 goals in field hockey tied her for 12th place on the Big Red’s list for career goals. In 1986, Graap was named to the Brine Regional AllAmerica lacrosse team and ranks among the top 15 on the all-time school points list with 91 (61 goals, 30 assists). She is still ranked on the career goals and career assists lists with the Big Red women laxers. While at Cornell, she also served as secretary of the Red Key Athletic Honorary Society. She joined her younger sister, Ellen, on both the field hockey and lacrosse teams during the 1985-86 seasons. Ellen was inducted into Cornell’s Athletic Hall of Fame in Nov. 2000. From 1991-93, Graap remained active as a player, representing the Philadelphia Club at the USWLA national tournament. She also participated in the Vail Lacrosse ShootOut as a Team Ripple player from 1992-97 and 1999. Graap served as the Intercollegiate Women’s Lacrosse Coaches’ Association Division I vice president and as a member of the NCAA South regional selection committee. She was responsible for the design and launch of the ILWCA’s web site (www.iwlca.org). She is currently a member of the IWLCA’s media committee, the Northeast regional All-America committee and the NCAA’s Northeast regional ranking committee. Graap has also worked with the NCAA lacrosse championships, assisting with the national selection committee and serving as a NCAA representative at the Division III championships. She served as a clinician for the NCAA’s Youth Education in Sport (YES) program in 1996, 1997 and 2000. A native of West Chester, Pa., Graap attended East High School, where she lettered three times in basketball and played on the state runner-up field hockey team in addition to the undefeated Chesmont lacrosse championship squad.

ASSISTANT COACHES
Jen Johnson Assistant Coach
Jen Johnson, a former three-time All-American at Penn State, enters her second season as assistant coach under head coach Jenny Graap looking to build upon Cornell’s already winning tradition. Her experience on the field and the sidelines will be instrumental in the Big Red’s bid for a second consecutive NCAA appearance. The second-year assistant helped the Big Red to its first NCAA tournament appearance in 2001, finishing the year with an 11-4 record and a third-place finish in the Ivy League. Johnson was instrumental in the development of two Cornell All-Americans (Jaimee Reynolds and Katie McCorry) as the Big Red finished ranked 12th in the nation in the final Brine/IWLCA poll. Johnson played four years of lacrosse at Penn State and led the Nittany Lions in overall scoring her senior (70 points) and junior (73 points) years. She also had a team-high 49 goals in 1998 and led again in 1999 with 47 goals. Jen finished her career ranked among the top 10 all-time at Penn State in goals scored (136), assists (64) and overall points (200). The team’s captain as a senior, she received first-team All-America honors after leading the squad to a 15-5 overall record and a trip to the NCAA tournament, advancing to the semifinals. She received second-team honors in 1998 and third-team honors in 1997, and she was a first-team regional All-America pick for three seasons with the Nittany Lions. In her four years at Penn State, Jen played in every lacrosse game, and she completed her collegiate career with a trip to the North/South All-Star game in May 1999. Johnson served as a volunteer assistant at Penn State while she finished her degree requirements. The Lions were ranked in the top 10 early in the season and finished the year ranked 14th nationally. She received her bachelor of science degree in kinesiology in May 2000. A native of Brooklin, Ont., Johnson was the captain of the Canadian Under-19 National Team that placed fourth at the 1995 World Cup Championships. Johnson made her mark as the leading scorer of the tournament. While playing for Anderson High School, she led her team to three consecutive regional titles, serving as the team’s captain as both a junior and a senior. She has played for the elite Ontario Provincial Team for the past eight years. Johnson is currently a member of the Canadian National Team and served as co-captain for the World Cup squad that finished fourth this past summer in High Wycombe, England.
Adrian Walters Assistant Coach
Adrian Walters, a former standout goalie at Colgate University, was named assistant coach for women’s lacrosse at Cornell in February 2000. Under his tutelage, the Big Red’s goalies have improved statistically the past two seasons and have been an integral part of the team’s success. Walters assisted in the development of All-Ivy League goalkeeper Carrie Giancola, who ranked second in the nation in goals against average (6.56) and 23rd in the country in save percentage (.545). Giancola and the rest of the Big Red defense ranked fourth in the country in scoring defense (7.00) en route to the program’s first-ever NCAA tournament appearance. A 1995 graduate of Colgate with a bachelor of arts degree in history and economics, Walters was a four-year letter winner and three-year starter in goal for the Raiders. A two-year captain, he led the team to an Eastern College Athletic Conference title in 1995 and was named tournament most valuable player. Walters was a former high school All-American at Rye Country Day School. He is currently an alternate for the Irish National lacrosse team which will compete this summer in the World Championships in Australia. The Irish team is coached by Cornell hall of famer Richie Moran. After graduation, Walters moved to London, England, where he was a member of the 1995 English Lacrosse Union development team. He was responsible for the promotion, development and marketing of lacrosse in England. An assistant coach for the English Under-19 National team, he helped prepare the squad for the Under-19 World Tournament and was responsible for its budget. Walters worked as an associate at SPP Capital Partners, LLC in New York and London from 1996-99 in the private debt and equity boutique. He received his master of business administration degree at Cornell’s Johnson Graduate School of Management in May 2001.

You like winning? Cornell’s 2002 women’s lacrosse team does. And it hopes it has the right combination to carry the Big Red to an Ivy League championship.

DKNY ACTIVE
For the second year in a row, the Cornell women’s lacrosse team will draw attention with their play on the field, but they will also get some second looks because of their exclusive line of uniforms designed by DKNY Active in collaboration with STX. So how does a university that conjures images of waterfalls and outdoor adventures land a sponsorship deal with a chic New York clothing designer? Like with all deals, circumstances converged, and as a result, the lacrosse team is the first Cornell women’s team to enjoy the benefits of a generous sponsor. The pivotal players in this deal were Paul Charron, father of Ashley Charron ’04, a goalie on the team, and head coach Jenny Graap ’86, a graduate of the College of Human Ecology who majored in apparel design and textiles and once worked as an assistant buyer for Bloomingdale’s. During one of the many conversations between the Charrons and Coach Graap, the seed was planted that ultimately grew into a project that would benefit some of Cornell’s most successful women athletes. Jenny happened to mention that it would be fun to help design lacrosse uniforms for women. And she mentioned her idea to the right man — Paul Charron, CEO of Liz Claiborne, Inc. As if it were meant to be, Jenny learned that DKNY and DKNY Active are marks affiliated with Donna Karan International, and Liz
Claiborne, Inc. licenses DKNY Active for sportswear and performance wear from Donna Karan International. In August of 2000, Graap made the first of many trips to Manhattan where she met with a DKNY Active design team for a brainstorming session focused on the look and function for the new Cornell lacrosse uniforms. There were sketches and patterns and color boards and prototypes and models. Then there was the need to bring a real lacrosse player — 5-5 Erica Holveck — to NYC to model the prototypes. Her appearance led to the creation of a new size scale that is appropriate for the athlete’s body type. The uniforms are not only breaking the mold, they are also sized for athletic women’s bodies. The lacrosse team launched its 2001 season on March 3 with an 11-9 victory over perennial power Penn State. On that day in State College, Pa., the new DKNY Active uniforms also made their debut. What was the reaction from the players and fans alike? “For us as players, the uniforms contribute to our desired image as a high profile, competitive team,” concluded Holveck. “It’s always good to intimidate another team, and when we dressed for that first game of the season, we all stood in the locker room wearing these slick new uniforms and there was no doubt that we were ready to play. The DKNY Active gear is just one more sign of what we’re all about – creating an exciting new tradition for women’s lacrosse at Cornell.”

McCorry was one of the team’s leaders on defense, recording 27 ground balls and causing 26 turnovers. She was a key to the Big Red’s nationally ranked defense, which held opponents to 7.00 goals per game. She started every game for Cornell in 2001 and played nearly every minute. Katie contained some of the best attackers in the country last season, as she completely shut down Princeton’s Kim Smith during the regular season and held Dartmouth’s Amy Zimmer and Johns Hopkins’ Erin Weller to one assist each.

THIS IS CORNELL
Erica Holveck ‘03 is majoring in human development, one of 16 different fields of study undertaken by members of the 2002 lacrosse team.
THE CORNELL EXPERIENCE
Tina Hennessey ’93
THE BIG RED ON ...
A three-time first-team All-Ivy League selection, Hennessey was also a three-time All-American, earning first-team honors as a senior. She was selected to play in the North-South All-Star game in 1993. She is third alltime at Cornell in career scoring (134 pts.) and is ranked among the Big Red’s top 10 for career goals (101) and career assists (33).
CHOOSING CORNELL ... “Cornell was the first school I visited and I fell in love with the campus. Everything else just seemed to fall in place. It had everything I wanted. Every school I looked at after Cornell, didn’t compare.” Lauren Champagne ‘05 “It has absolutely everything a school could have to offer — an Ivy League education and an amazing lacrosse program. What more could you ask for?” Rachel Friedman ‘03 “I wanted a large and diverse atmosphere, and Cornell has given me exactly that.” Sara Simmons ‘05
THE COACHING STAFF ... “They’re really personable and they treat you with respect, which really boosts your confidence. What makes a Division I athlete is confidence and the will to win — an attitude the coaches consistently motivate you toward.” Julia Hughey ‘05 “Each coach is very unique and brings a different dynamic to the team. Each coach has a different style and personality, making it a whole lot easier to be comfortable and make the transition from high school to collegiate lacrosse.” Liz Tesi ‘03 “They have an unwavering dedication to the program, the team and our continuing improvement and success.” Ashley Charron ‘04 “They are continuously coaching throughout every practice and game. They are always guiding us to become better players and showing how we can make improvements. They are so enthusiastic about our team and us as individuals.” Katie Lavin ‘03
Hennessey currently lives in Manhattan and is a marketing manager at AOL Time Warner for InStyle Magazine. She is also pursuing her MBA at Columbia University.
“Through the experience of playing lacrosse at Cornell, one quality that has carried over into my post-college life is the ability to juggle multiple challenges at a time. Being a student-athlete at Cornell, with its demanding academic workload and Division I athletics, is a great warm-up for what you will face after college. I recently decided to get my MBA while also working full time, and I had no doubt I could handle the addition of school to my already busy life, mainly because I got great training as a student-athlete at Cornell. “Watching the Cornell team excel today is great for us alumnae, since we can live somewhat vicariously through the current team in watching the players strive for goals we never reached — beating Harvard (for the first time ever in 1999 and then again in 2000 and 2001!) winning the Ivy League (this year?) and getting a bid to the NCAA tournament. It is exciting because we experienced the same feelings and had many of the same goals, yet today’s team is reaching them, and we can truly relate to how amazing these records and accomplishments must be for them.”
Sarah McGoey ’01 A four-year letter winner and two-year captain, McGoey was the Big Red’s leader on a defense that ranked fourth in the nation by allowing just seven goals per game. She was a member of the Canadian national team in 2000 and 2001.
“It’s hard to believe my career at Cornell is over. Everyyearourlacrosseteamgotstronger,andour2001 squadwasabsolutelyamazing! Mysenioryear was incredible, and it is all thanks to the hard work, love and dedicationofeverypersononthe team. Fromourathletictrainer,Allison,who comes early and stays late to make sure we are all healthy; to the strategic planning of Jenny, J.J., Adrian and Wolfie for each practice, bus ride and meal; to thecontinuedstrengthtrainingandconditioningofTomHowley;tothehardwork, smiles and fun each player contributes every day on the field. We wouldn’t be where we are today, ranked with the best teams in Division I, if it weren’t for each memberofthisteam. “Cornell lacrosse exemplifies unity. We work hard together and for each other. We push ourselves every day in practice because we love lacrosse, and we are passionate to play the game. The ingredient that makes all the sprinting, weight training and drills easier is that we are there together. I feel so fortunate to have been a part of the turn around in this program. We came so far in my four years, and I am so proud of my Cornell lacrosse experience.” Cornell Women’s Lacrosse —42— CornellBigRed.com
THE CORNELL EXPERIENCE
Mary-Beth DeLaney Hahn ’89
A member of Cornell’s Athletic Hall of Fame, DeLaney Hahn was a three-time Northeast All-America first-team pick. She was also named to the All-America second team in 1998 and received honorable mention honors in 1987. A co-captain her senior year, she ranked among Cornell’s top 10 in career points and assists. The Big Red’s top defensive award is named in honor of Mary-Beth. DeLaney Hahn has been an extremely active alumnae. She is a member of the Cornell Athletics Alumni Advisory Committee and is also the treasurer of the Cornell Field Hockey Association.
THE BIG RED ON ... WHAT THEY LIKE ABOUT CORNELL ... “I love the people. They’re fun, intelligent and inspiring and make this a great place to be.” Beth Calder ‘02
DeLaney Hahn is currently a senior vice president and group leader at Marsh USA Inc., a worldwide leader of insurance brokerage firms. She and her husband, Nicholas, have a son, J. Nicholas III.
“There isn’t a large distinction between the athletes and non-athletes. Everyone here is friends with everyone and you have an opportunity to meet all kinds of different people.” Rachel Friedman ‘03
“My experience as a member of the Cornell women’s lacrosse team taught me to be disciplined and to prioritize activities. While I was a student-athlete, I had to juggle studies and sports. I now juggle work, family and leisure activities. My success at Marsh is a result of my ability to be disciplined and organized, as I am constantly working on projects for Fortune 500 accounts and each project must be done well. I am grateful for my experience as a women’s lacrosse player, and I am proud of how well the team is currently doing.”
“The atmosphere, my team and the respect we get. We’re here to work, and when we succeed, it’s worth every minute of the effort. The people are amazing ... so different and so fun!” Julia Hughey ‘05
Kristen Wolf ’99 A three-year letter winner on the Big Red lacrosse team, Wolf was a graduate assistant for Cornell in 2000 and 2001. As a senior, she started on defense and caused 40 turnovers and picked up 22 ground balls. She was also recognized for her efforts in the weight room and was honored on the Big Red Power Wall of Honor in 1998. Wolf completed her graduate studies in Cornell’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations in 2000 and took a position in General Electric’s Human Resource Leadership Program.
“ItishardtofindthewordstoexpressthetremendousprideIhaveexperienced both as a player and as a coach of the Cornell women’s lacrosse program. During my first two years on the team, the Big Red went without a single Ivy League victory. In2000and2001theteamfinished5-2intheIviesforathird-placefinish, Cornell’sbestfinishtodate. Thankstothecommitmentanddedicationofthe coaching staff and players, the program is now ranked as one of the top teams in the nation and considered to be a contender for both an Ivy League title and anotherNCAAtournamentbid. “The biggest difference between then and now can be seen by the fear in our opponent’s eyes as we take the field on game day. Cornell comes out ready to play. We are focused, we are confident, and nobody can break our team spirit. Although we definitely have some true stars on the squad, Cornell lacrosse presents itself as a unit. We are successful because opponents may be able to limit the scoring of a few of our top players, but every player on this team is a weapon ready to step up when needed. On any given day, we can threaten an upset of a higher ranked team because we believe in ourselves, and we play with the philosophy that we have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.” Kristen Wolf ‘99 and Sarah McGoey ‘01 each provided their thoughts on the program last fall. Cornell Women’s Lacrosse —43— CornellBigRed.com
“Everyone — the student body, the academic and athletic staffs — are all so helpful. People at Cornell are very accepting and encourage diversity, an aspect that sometimes seems rare among other Ivy League schools.” Liz Tesi ‘03 “I love the variety and opportunity Cornell provides. The school has so much to offer.” Allison Bisset ‘04 “The opportunity to meet kids from all over the country and the world is so rare. It gives me an opportunity to learn from and to experience different types of people and lifestyles. Also, the ability to be involved in many clubs and organizations as well as being a member of the lacrosse team.” Katie Lavin ‘03 “I love the team. I can call on anyone for anything and there’s always someone to hang out with, not to mention how great everyone is as a player and teammate. The girls have become my role models and best friends.” Kristen Smith ‘05

Berman Field
PLAYING FACILITIES
On October 24, 1996, the Robert J. Kane Sports Complex was dedicated at Cornell University. The multisurfaced complex contains the William E. Simon Track and the Charles F. Berman Field. Berman Field is used by the women’s lacrosse team and both the men’s and women’s soccer squads, while the track is home to the Big Red men’s and women’s outdoor track teams. The complex is named in honor of the late Robert J. Kane ‘34, who was a Cornell athletic administrator for 37 years, starting in 1939, when he became an assistant to athletic director James Lynah. The natural turf is flat, with vertical drainage and automatic irrigation systems. The design includes a soil mix of eight parts sand, one part top soil and one part bio-solid compost. This system can divert 5-10 inches of rain per hour away from the playing surface. A mixture of 30 percent perennial rye and 70 percent Kentucky bluegrass has been used to create the turf. This mixture was selected for its sod-forming capabilities, as well as its adaptability to close mowing. The final phase of the complex was completed two years ago with the addition of permanent seating for 1,000 and a full lighting system, which allows for night time contests. The field was named in honor of the late Charles F. Berman ‘49. Described as a flashy and fiery center forward on the historic Cornell soccer team of 1948, Berman was probably the major reason that Cornell soccer reached national prominence that year.
Schoellkopf Field Schoellkopf Field has been an integral part of the Cornell campus since it was first constructed in 1915. During the summer of 1999, the entire playing surface was renovated with the new AstroTurf System 2000 surface, making Schoellkopf one of the finest playing fields in the country. The AstroTurf surface covers six layers of padding and drainage, designed to protect both the field and the studentathletes who play on it. The drainage system is state of the art, according to Steve Wright, director of planning, design and construction at Cornell. “This is the Cadillac of turf systems,” Wright said. “Water goes straight through; you couldn’t get any better AstroTurf.” Surrounding the playing field is a new Eurotan EPDM outdoor track. This replaced the Poly-Surf track that was installed in 1972 and the gift of Floyd R. Newman ’12. The original stadium was completed with funds given by Jacob F. Schoellkopf, Jr., ’05, Paul A. Schoellkopf ’06, Walter H. Schoellkopf ’08 and William G. Schoellkopf ’19. The seating capacity is 25,597. The crescent, constructed in 1924 to enlarge the stadium on the east side of the field, seats 20,950. The permanent steel stands were added in 1947 on the west side to accommodate 4,647. Schoellkopf Field refurbished in 1986 as part of a $3.6 million restoration. The crescent and west stands were painted and adorned with new aluminum seating. The press box was also built in 1986-87. In the summer of 1988, All-Pro Turf was installed. The installment of AstroTurf in 1999 is the fourth artificial covering on the field since the natural turf at Schoellkopf was removed in 1971 and replaced with Poly-Turf, which was installed as a gift of Joseph P. Routh ’17 of New York City. The installation of the artificial turf has enabled the field to be used for varsity and junior varsity football games, sprint football games and field hockey in the fall; and men’s and women’s lacrosse in the spring.

THE FRIEDMAN CENTER
Champions are crowned during the season, but championships are earned long before competition begins. Cornell’s 1,100 varsity athletes have exclusive access to one of the newest and best training facilities in the nation, the 8,000-square-foot Friedman Strength & Conditioning Center. Completed in June of 1997, this impressive $2 million addition to the Field House reflects the university’s strong commitment to athletic excellence. Coaches and team members credit the center and its tireless staff with increasing the sense of teamwork that characterizes Big Red athletics. The Friedman Center contains free-weight, selectorized, plyometric, and cardiovascular equipment and has been designed to meet the diverse training needs of Cornell’s athletes. The center can accomodate up to 100 users at a time without compromising safety or function. Its unique features include air-conditioning, a 175-watt stereo system, and damage-resistent flooring. Cornell’s varsity strength and conditioning program focuses on enhancing performance and preventing injury. The new facility and equipment enable the staff to prescribe year-round sport-specific programs with variety and precision. Before the training programs are designed, the muscular and metabolic needs for each sport, and for each position within the sport, are analyzed. Athletes are then assessed to identify their individual strengths and weaknesses, and follow-up assessments are conducted at regular intervals. Comprehensive workouts are prescribed to address deficiencies and promote the development of skills used during competition. Injury prevention also is emphasized. Through resistance training, the number and the severity of injuries are reduced. If an injury does occur, the strength and conditioning staff works closely with the sports medicine staff to ensure a safe and complete rehabilitation. The objective is to allow the athlete to resume full participation as soon as possible.

Tom Howley
Head Coach, Strength and Conditioning Tom Howley has been the strength and conditioning coach at Cornell University since July 1995. In that role, he oversees the design and implementation of athletic performance programs for Cornell’s 36 varsity sports. The comprehensive, yearround programs include strength and power development, mobility skill training and conditioning, which are implemented in a motivating, team-oriented environment. Prior to his arrival at Cornell, Howley was the assistant director of strength and conditioning at East Carolina University from 1991-1995. While there, the Pirates participated in two bowl games (1992 Peach Bowl and 1995 Liberty Bowl), qualified for the NCAA baseball regional tournament (1994) and played in the NCAA basketball tournament (1993). Howley was a graduate assistant strength and conditioning coach at Auburn University from 1989-91, where he earned his master’s degree in exercise physiology. The Tigers, the 1989 Southeastern Conference co-champions, were the 1990 Hall of Fame Bowl and the 1991 Peach Bowl champions, as Howley also served as an assistant coach with the special teams. A 1988 graduate of Tulane, Howley earned a bachelor of arts degree in history and was a threeyear starting offensive lineman on the football team. The Green Wave played in the 1987 Independence Bowl his senior year. He was the recipient of the New Orleans Quarterback Club StudentAthlete Award as a senior. Howley is an active participant in the Cornell University/Ithaca College chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. He and his wife, Amanda, reside in Ithaca.
UNIVERSITY ADMINISTRATION
Hunter R. Rawlings III President of the University
Hunter Rawlings, Cornell’s 10th president, is a classics scholar who is also no stranger to the role varsity athletics can play in the total academic experience. During his undergraduate days at Haverford College, he was the starting center on the basketball team and later had a pitching tryout with the Baltimore Orioles. “There is nothing better than a vigorous combination of academic and athletic life,” says Rawlings. “My own college experience had a healthy measure of both and taught me the value of competition. My best friends continue to be my basketball and baseball teammates. “The opportunity to earn an Ivy League degree and to be part of an intercollegiate team is a great reason to attend Cornell University.” Rawlings came to Cornell in 1995 from the University of Iowa, where he was president and professor of classics from 1988 until 1995. Before that, he served for four years as vice president for academic affairs and research and as dean of the graduate school at the University of Colorado, where he began as an assistant professor of classics in 1970, after earning his doctorate at Princeton University. Rawlings was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1995. He is a member of the board of directors of the American Council on Education and has served on the executive committee of the Association of American Universities and the National Committee for the Selection of Mellon Fellows in the Humanities.

In 1994, she earned a Ph.D. from Cornell in educational administration. After working as a high school teacher at Palo Alto (Calif.) High School and as a guidance counselor and head of the guidance department at Chatham (N.J.) Borough High School, Murphy returned to Cornell in 1978 as associate director of admissions. She also served as senior associate director then as director of financial aid and student employment. In 1985, Murphy was appointed Cornell’s and the Ivy League’s first woman dean of admissions and financial aid, a position she held for nine years before becoming vice president. In addition to her responsibilities at Cornell, Murphy has been active in the College Board and in the National Association of College Admissions Counselors, where she has held statewide offices and has been on the faculty of summer admissions institutes. She currently serves as the chair of the policy committee for the Council of Ivy Group Presidents.

Cornell Points of Interest
Jennie McGraw Tower and Cornell Chimes: Constructed in 1891 atop Uris Library, the tower is a campus landmark, 173 feet high and 161 steps from the ground. It houses the Cornell clock, chimes, and chimes museum. The reconfigured, retuned, and expanded set of 21 bells was reinstalled in the tower in fall 1999. The chimes are played daily by student and alumni chimesmasters, whose repertoire includes more than two thousand songs. Willard Straight Hall: “The Straight” opened in 1925 as one of the nation’s first student unions. A stately Gothic structure with cathedral ceilings, marble staircases, and oak paneling, it houses dining facilities, a browsing library, a music room, a ceramics studio, an art gallery, Cornell Cinema, meeting and activity rooms, the Office of the Dean of Students, and offices for more than 40 student organizations.

COMMITMENT
Those who seek an undergraduate education at an Ivy League school do so because of the promise of academic challenge, of quality teaching and of diverse and plentiful resources. It was a shared perspective on the proper balance of athletics and academics that led to the creation of the Ivy League in 1954. When the member schools formally united, it was agreed that athletes are admitted as students and should be awarded financial aid only on the basis of economic need. As a result, students today are not bound to their sports because of athletic scholarships, rather they choose to participate in athletics because they relish competition and physical challenges. Cornell is especially attractive to those who seek a school committed to both academic and athletic excellence. With 36 varsity sports, the university’s athletic department is one of the most comprehensive in the country. Along with a schedule that pits Cornell against its Ancient Eight rivals, Big Red teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and the ECAC. An impressive staff of coaches leads the Big Red teams and recruits some of the finest student-athletes from a national and international pool of accomplished young men and women. The coaches demonstrate a commitment to teaching and a willingness to share their own competitive experiences with their teams. Their individual achievements and accomplishments include playing and coaching time in the professional and international ranks as well as numerous all-star performances during their own collegiate careers. Set against a backdrop of the natural beauty of Cayuga Lake and the surrounding hills, an extensive array of facilities provides a tremendous environment for practice and competition for Cornell’s varsity teams. Schoellkopf Field and its distinctive crescent-shaped stadium may be Cornell’s most familiar sports venue, but since the mid-’90s, a number of new facilities have become landmarks as well. The Friedman Strength and Conditioning Center, a state-of-the-art facility dedicated to the support and improvement of athletes’ performances, is a place where all teams gather to train. The Kane Sports Complex, with its Berman Field for soccer and the Simon Track, and the Niemand•Robison Softball Field are also impressive facilities. The Reis Tennis Center and the Oxley Equestrian Center, home of the equestrian and polo teams, are part of an expanding complex that will include new homes for other teams as Cornell continues to realize its plan for renovation and building of athletic facilities. Spacious and historic Barton Hall is home to the indoor track and field teams. The volleyball, basketball and wrestling teams compete in Bartels Hall’s 4,473-seat Newman Arena and the fencing team’s home, the Stifel Fencing Salle, is located on the lower level of the facility. Adjacent to Bartels Hall is famed Lynah Rink, where the Big Red hockey teams perform before sellout crowds for most home games. The gymnastics and swimming

TO
Department of Athletics and Physical Education Mission Statement The Department of Athletics and Physical Education strives to provide students with powerful and meaningful participatory experiences that forge enduring bonds with Cornell, and to provide for the well-being of members of the faculty, staff, and community. We offer a diverse program of physical and outdoor education, recreational services, and intercollegiate athletic competition, equitably administered with special attention to the needs of women and members of under-represented minority groups. We foster the values of physical fitness, total wellbeing, and enduring participation in athletics; teach leadership skills, teamwork, responsibility, and accountability; and administer programs that can be critical to the educational and personal development of students in keeping with the high standards of Cornell, the Ivy League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The department promotes pride and unity within the university community and provides opportunities to develop, strengthen, and maintain ties to external audiences such as alumni, friends, the educational community, and the general public by attracting interest, recognition, and support.
teams are housed in Teagle Hall where Cornell crews also train during the winter months. Just down the hill from campus are the Collyer Boat House and the Doris Robison Shell House, which are scheduled for renovation and expansion. Cornellians have been national champions in ice hockey, lacrosse, polo, rowing, track and field and wrestling. They have also earned spots in halls of fame, on All-America teams, on the Olympic medal podium and have written their names in record books as Wimbledon tennis champions and major league players in baseball, basketball, football and hockey. Four years ago, Seth Payne ’97 joined the Jacksonville Jaguars of the NFL after being selected in the fourth round of the draft. Ken Dryden ’69, former star goalie of the Montreal Canadiens and current president of the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Joe Nieuwendyk ’88, who led the Dallas Stars to their first-ever Stanley Cup in 1999, are Cornell hockey alumni. Last spring, the women’s lacrosse team made its first-ever appearance in the NCAA championship tournament, while the softball team competed at the NCAAs for the second time in three years. Four gymnasts earned All-America honors at the USA Gymnastics National Championships, while in polo, Jeff Embow ’01 and Melissa Riggs ’02 were honored as the nation’s top collegiate players. Ryan McClay ’03 also was one of 23 players selected to play for the United States team in the 2002 International Lacrosse Federation World Championship in Perth, Australia. Cornell is proud that, as a group, varsity athletes regularly match or exceed the student body’s overall GPA for academic performance. The University is especially proud that every semester a number of undergraduates — more than 30 on average — achieve a 4.0 GPA while participating in varsity sports. These scholar-athletes are inducted into the athletic department’s 400 Club at a semiannual breakfast given by President Hunter Rawlings, Vice President for Student and Academic Services Susan Murphy and Director of Athletics Andy Noel. These dedicated student-athletes demonstrate that the ideal is achievable, that it is possible to excel both in the classroom and in the sporting arena. This past spring, Karen Chastain ’01 and Jaimee Reynolds ’02 were both honored as first-team Verizon Academic All-Americans, while David Key ’01 was a second-team pick. The collegiate experience at Cornell is a rich one for varsity athletes because the University supports their passion to excel.
