Head Coach Amy Hardison • 3rd Season Amy (Kleyweg) Hardison, is in her third season as the head coach of the DePaul volleyball program. She joined the Blue Demon staff in February of 2006.

forts and worked extensively with the team’s middle hitters. During Hardison’s tenure at Denver, she helped take the Pioneers from a Division II powerhouse to a constant contender in the Division I Sun Belt Conference in 1998. In 2000, Denver won the school’s first Sun Belt West Division title with a 12-4 league mark. Hardison also helped to mentor eight All-Sun Belt Conference players as well as the setter and newcomer of the year in 2000.

Upon Hardison’s arrival she focused on the complete “student-athlete,” making academics as well as court performance a top priority. In her first two seasons, the Blue Demons were awarded the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award. The award honors teams who achieve a cumulative GPA above a 3.30. Additionally, each member of the Blue Demons 200708 squad earned BIG EAST All-Academic Team honors and in 2006-07 all but one received the same honor.

An outstanding collegiate student-athlete, Hardison finished her playing career after the 1995 season, earning three letters at the University of South Florida after transferring from Kansas State, where she played her freshman season. Upon graduation from USF, Hardison stayed on the Bulls’ athletics staff, serving as an academic advisor from 1996-97. Hardison used her leadership skills as a key member of the USF squad. During her three-year career with the Bulls, Hardison helped the team to an impressive 78-21 overall record and two trips to the NCAA Tournament, earning berths in both 1993 and 1995.

The 2007 season saw the Blue Demons go 7-21, the most wins since 2004. Using five underclassman starters, Hardison’s team won the DePaul Invitational and a pair of BIG EAST matches, the most since the Blue Demons joined the league in 2005.

Hardison posted outstanding individual numbers as well. During her senior campaign, she finished the regular season ranked eighth in Conference USA in attack percentage while posting career-highs in kills, attacks, solo blocks and service aces.

Individually in 2007, Kate Letcher tallied a school record .833 attack percentage on Sept. 30 against Seton Hall. Letcher’s record-breaking performance came on 10 kills, 12 swings and she did not register an attack error. Her performance overtook Dana Kalvatis’ 22-year-old record.

A native of suburban Western Springs, Ill., Hardison had an outstanding prep career for Lyons Township High School where she graduated in 1992.

Also in 2007, Jacie Fiedler became the first DePaul player in seven years to tally 30 kills. Fiedler’s 30 kills came in the Blue Demons’ 3-2 loss at West Virginia on Sept. 21. With her 30-kill performance Fiedler also set a new school record for points in a match with 35.0. Fiedler also finished her freshman campaign with a .307 (310-90-716) attack percentage which ties for the third best hitting performance in school history.

Hardison, who is a member of the AVCA and served on the Assistant Coaches Committee, earned a bachelor’s degree in chemistry from USF in 1996 and has worked on a master’s degree in sports management while at Denver. Amy married William Hardison on March 1, 2008. The couple resides in DePaul’s Lincoln Park neighborhood.

Following Hardison’s first season in 2006, she added nine newcomers to the roster. Her recruiting class earned highest honorable mention accolades by PrepVolleyball.com. Her ability to motivate and teach was apparent as the Blue Demons ranked fourth in the BIG EAST Conference in digs per match. Senior Morgan Ingersoll also finished the season as one of the league’s most proficient hitters, averaging 3.95 kills per game, the seventh best average in the conference. As a first year head coach, Hardison attended and graduated from the 2006 NCAA Women’s Coaching Academy as well as the Coaching Academy’s Dimension 2. Previous to joining the Blue Demon staff, Hardison spent nine seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Denver where she coordinated all of the Pioneers’ recruiting efwww.DePaulBlueDemons.com

Q&A with Head Coach Amy Hardison What is your goal for the DePaul Volleyball program? My goal is to build the Blue Demon program into one that is competitive both regionally and nationally. I want DePaul to compete for the BIG EAST regular season title and Tournament Championship on a yearly basis. I want the Blue Demons to be the team to beat in Chicago, Illinois and the Midwest region. Define your coaching style. I want to surround myself with student-athletes who want to work hard. I will motivate, mentor and lead them to be the best they can be both on and off the court. It is my job to educate and guide them as they strive to be successful in athletics, academics and life through sports and competition. What do you look for in a prospective student-athlete? I look for student-athletes who are competitive both on and off the court. I want players who have a true passion for the game of volleyball and realize that to be the best you need to work extremely hard and make sacrifices. I want student-athletes to be committed to themselves and their teammates, in the weight room, classroom and on the volleyball court. How is it competing in the BIG EAST Conference? I am very excited to be a part of the BIG EAST as it is the largest volleyball conference in the country! It is competitive from the top to the bottom and I wouldn’t want it any other way. There is a lot of pride and tradition being a part of the BIG EAST in volleyball as well as in other sports. Three teams represented the BIG EAST in the NCAA tournament in 2006 and two in 2007. We look to build on that trend in 2008 and beyond. What do you like best about Chicago? There is not a better city in the country than Chicago; I can’t imagine living anywhere else. We have access to the beach, shopping on the Magnificent Mile, theatrical shows, bands, multiple professional sports teams and a calendar full of activities 365 days of the year. There is always something to do here in the Chicago. Plus, it is the best sports town you can find.

While at St. Ambrose he coached five all-conference selections and the 2005 Newcomer of the Year. Jennings got his first taste of coaching volleyball on the international level in May of 2008 when he served as head coach of a USA Athletes International Men’s Team that competed in the Scottish Open Volleyball Tournament in Perth, Scotland. The team posted a 5-0 record and won the tournament by beating the Scottish National Team in the final match.

Jean Lenti Ponsetto Director of Athletics One of the nation’s most widely respected leaders in intercollegiate athletics and a driving force behind the continuing expansion and development of DePaul’s athletics program, Jean Lenti Ponsetto is now in her seventh year as DePaul’s Director of Athletics and her 34th as a member of the Blue Demon athletic family. Ponsetto was named to her current position on July 1, 2002 and the Blue Demons have experienced tremendous success both on and off the playing field ever since. Ponsetto also guided the DePaul efforts in 2003 when the University announced it would join the BIG EAST Conference in 2005. An advocate for student-athlete welfare, Ponsetto initiated and provided the leadership for the Sullivan-McGrath Athletics Capital Campaign which has yielded the funding resources for the renovation of Wish Soccer Field, the creation of the Cacciatore Softball Stadium and renovation of the Cherry Family Indoor Track at the Ray Meyer Center.

at DePaul. Under her direction DePaul has built several athletic facilities including the Sullivan Athletic Center that opened in 2000, the Ray Meyer Fitness Recreation Center that opened in 1999 and the recently completed projects in Cacciatore Stadium, Wish Field and the Cherry Family Indoor Track. Recently she negotiated long-term contracts with Ruffled Feathers as home for the men’s golf program as well as Lane Stadium as a home for the men’s and women’s outdoor track and field teams.

During her seven years at the helm of the department, 14 of the 15 Blue Demon athletic programs have represented the school in NCAA championships including the men’s soccer program’s initial trip to the NCAA Tournament after winning the BIG EAST Conference regular season title.

Jeanne is a member of both NACDA and NACWAA and is also involved in several community and charitable organizations.

Success has also come in the classroom during Ponsetto’s tenure as the Athletic Director as over 580 Blue Demon student-athletes have been named conference Academic Honor Rolls.

Ponsetto, who is a member of the DePaul Athletic Hall of Fame, began her association with Blue Demon athletics as a member of the tennis, volleyball and women’s basketball teams in 1974-75. She participated in softball when it was added as a varsity sport two years later.

Ponsetto’s efforts haven’t gone unnoticed by her colleagues. For the second time in her career; Ponsetto was presented NACWAA’s Administrator of the Year Award in 2003, was the organization’s president in 2005-06.

Following graduation in 1978 she was named the school’s first assistant women’s basketball coach by then head coach Doug Bruno. Ironically, she then hired him as head women’s coach when he returned to that position in 1988.

A former four-sport standout for DePaul, Ponsetto boasts a wealth of experience in three areas of DePaul athletics: as a student-athlete, coach and administrator. She had spent seven years as the senior associate director of athletics after serving 12 years as the associate director and two as an assistant director before assuming her current job in 2002.

Jeanne’s work within the Chicago sports scene was been duly noted. In 2004 Ponsetto was named one of the top 100 most influential women in Chicago by the Chicago Sun-Times (she was ranked second in sports category behind Chicago Bears owner Virginia McCaskey). In the spring of 2003 she was awarded the Leonardo Da Vinci Outstanding Achievement in Education Award by the Sons of Italy and in 2007 was inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame, whose membership includes Ray Meyer, Mike Ditka, Walter Payton and Michael Jordan.

Aside from her duties at DePaul, she has served on numerous NCAA Committees including a joint NCAA/USOC Task Force. Ponsetto has received several awards for her outstanding work at DePaul and for her leadership serving the NCAA members and student-athletes. At the 1998 Final Four the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association named her Administrator of the Year. In addition, the National Association of Collegiate Women’s Athletic Administrators (NACWAA) named her Administrator of the Year. Subsequently, Ponsetto was annually appointed to the NACWAA Board of Directors.

Married to former Blue Demon basketball star Joe Ponsetto, now Chief of Special Prosecution’s Bureau in the Illinois Attorney General’s office, she comes from a family intertwined in education and athletics. One brother, Frank Lenti, is head football coach at Mt. Carmel High School in Chicago. In the fall of 1999, the Chicago Tribune named Frank as the high school football coach of the century in Illinois. Another brother, David, is an assistant under Frank with the Caravan. Two other brothers work for the DePaul athletics department as Michael is the Director of Athletic Facilities and Eugene is the school’s all-time winningest coach as the head softball coach. Jeanne’s sister Marilyn, who recently retired as the Teacher Coordinator for Students with Learning Disabilities in south suburban Dolton, is a DePaul graduate as are Eugene and David.

In September of 1999 Jeanne was honored by DePaul with a Spirit of DePaul Award given to five members of the DePaul community for their university leadership and service in the spirit of St. Vincent dePaul. Since moving into an administrative position over 20 years ago at DePaul, Ponsetto has had a significant impact on the status of the DePaul intercollegiate sports scene. She introduced four women’s sports - indoor and outdoor track, cross country and women’s soccer - to varsity status

NCAA TOURNAMENT TEAMS

The 1993 volleyball season is one that will never be forgotten as it marked the first time a DePaul sport other than basketball made a NCAA Tournament appearance. The beginning of the season started slowly, as the team finished August and September with a 6-9 record; however the Blue Demons rebounded and finished October and November with a 16-4 mark en route to a 22-14 overall record. DePaul cruised through the conference season and was rewarded with the No. 2 seed at the Great Midwest Tournament. The Blue Demons swept Saint Louis (3-0) and downed Dayton (3-1) before sweeping the regular season champion UAB on their home floor to capture the conference’s automatic NCAA Tournament berth. The Blue Demons traveled to Tallahassee, Florida to face Florida State on December 1. DePaul played a tough match but fell 3-1 (15-8, 7-15, 15-10, 15-13) to a Seminole team that was making their seventh NCAA Tournament appearance.

The 2001 squad became the second team in DePaul volleyball history to earn a berth to the NCAA Tournament. The Blue Demons earned the conference’s automatic bid by beating Louisville 3-2 (30-25, 30-27, 26-30, 30-25, 15-12) in the championship match of the Conference USA Tournament at Hofheinz Pavilion in Houston, Texas. In the championship match, junior Katie Engel led the Blue Demons with 26 kills, a .344 hitting percentage and 17 digs. Kara Jakusz dished out 74 assists, Stephanie Bishop added 19 kills and 19 digs, while Lara Marks chipped in with 17 kills. The Blue Demons’ C-USA Tournament crown marked the first C-USA Tournament title for DePaul in any sport; it also marked the first time in league history that a No. 5 seed won the championship. The Blue Demons drew national powerhouse Minnesota in their opening round NCAA Tournament match at Cedar Falls, Iowa. DePaul kept the games close but were unable to hold a lead as they fell 3-0 (30-25, 30-25, 30-27) to the Gophers.

The 1993 team was led by Wendy Fahlstrom, who was named the Great Midwest Conference Player of Year and MVP of the Great Midwest Tournament. Denise Novy was named the Newcomer of the Year and joined Shelia Carroll and Fahlstrom with post-season conference honors.

Marassa in the DePaul Athletics Hall of Fame

Former coach and Blue Demons standout Anna Marie Marassa (pictured on the left with DePaul Athletics Director Jean Lenti Ponsetto )was enshrined into the DePaul Athletics Hall of Fame on January 20, 2007. Marassa was a three-time All-North Star Conference honoree as a setter and graduated in 1985 as the program’s all-time assist leader. Upon moving to the bench in 1988, she was named the North Star Conference Coach of the Year in 1990 and guided the 1991 Blue Demons to a program-best 32-7 record. She then coached the program to its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth in 1993, the first non-basketball NCAA Tournament appearance in the school’s history.

The 2008-09 academic year will be the 30th for The BIG EAST Conference. While the league has gone through membership changes since its birth, it has never been stronger. This academic year will mark the conference’s fourth year as the nation’s largest Division I-A conference.

In men’s basketball, the BIG EAST tied its own record set in 2006 by earning eight NCAA Championship bids. BIG EAST women’s teams have received eight NCAA invitations in each of the past two years. The combined 16 men’s and women’s berths in 2008 was an NCAA first.

The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse Universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance.

The quality of BIG EAST football has never been more balanced. Six of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked in 2007. For the third straight year, the BIG EAST representative in the Bowl Championship Series won its BCS bowl game.

While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student-athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably shows a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics.

The BIG EAST continued to produce student-athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. Nineteen BIG EAST players were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections.

Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 25 national championships in six different sports and 125 student-athletes have won individual national titles. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student-athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST teams earned their share of recognition at the highest levels in 2007-08. Four women’s teams advanced to their respective NCAA Final Fours: Connecticut field hockey and women’s basketball, Notre Dame soccer and Syracuse lacrosse. Individually in men’s sports, Villanova’s Bobby Curtis was the NCAA outdoor track champion in the 5,000 meters. Connecticut’s O’Brian White won the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy, the highest individual honor in soccer. Two years ago, BIG EAST male and female student-athletes were Hermann Trophy winners.

The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A group in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. BIG EAST institutions reside in nine of the nation’s top 34 largest media markets, including New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Tampa, Pittsburgh, Hartford, Milwaukee and Cincinnati. With its newest members, BIG EAST markets contain almost one-fourth of all television households in the U.S. The BIG EAST has always been able to boast that some of its best students are also some of its best athletes. More than 370 student-athletes have earned Academic All-America honors. Last year in football, Louisville quarterback Brian Brohm, who finished his career as the BIG EAST’s career passing leader, was one of the league’s eight first-team ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America team picks. Also, Connecticut’s Rebecca Lobo, one of the most heralded women’s basketball players in the history of the sport, was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame in 2008. Lobo, a two-time BIG EAST Player of the Year, led the Huskies to the 1995 NCAA national championship. The BIG EAST has enjoyed tremendous basketball success, especially in this decade. In 2003-04, Connecticut became the first school in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s NCAA titles in the same season. In ’02-03, the BIG EAST became the first conference in NCAA history to win the men’s and women’s titles in the same year when the Syracuse men and the Connecticut women captured their respective national championships. In men’s basketball, BIG EAST squads have won three of the last 10 NCAA championships. BIG EAST women’s teams have taken five of the last nine NCAA titles. While BIG EAST basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden, attendance figures also are significant in soccer, women’s basketball and baseball games. More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned All-America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships.

With 29 miles of lakefront, including a 22-mile bike path, summer in the city provides opportunities for relaxing along Lake Michigan. Chicago is also America’s greenest metropolitan area, featuring 560 city parks along with a variety of museums and zoos. Lincoln Park Zoo, the world’s largest free public zoo, is just blocks from DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus. Dozen of restaurants, cafes, theaters and stores are also within walking distance of the Lincoln Park campus, and an easy-to-learn mass transit system connects campus to the entire Chicagoland area. Bicycling magazine annually ranks Chicago as the best big city for bicycling in the United States. There are nearly 150 miles of paved trails, off-road trails and bike lanes for cyclists. From a business standpoint, Chicago is one of the world’s top corporate cities. Always bustling with activity, the Windy City is home to the Chicago Board of Trade and the Midwest Stock Exchange along with such companies as Amoco Oil, Boeing, McDonald’s and United Airlines. This provides the DePaul student-athlete with a huge network of potential contacts and employers after graduation. Over 80,000 DePaul alumni live in the Chicagoland area, giving current Blue Demon student-athletes a strong start towards a career in their chosen field. The hub of campus life at DePaul takes place on the Lincoln Park campus. Lincoln Park is one of the most prestigious, attractive and desirable neighborhoods in all of urban America. The campus is situated in the middle of a beautiful residential neighborhood with historic brownstones and tree-lined streets. It is approximately nine blocks west of the shores of Lake Michigan and three miles from the downtown area. The Mayor’s Office of Special Events schedules 20 major events each year. Among these events are: Taste of Chicago, Blues Festival, Chicago Outdoor Film Festival, Venetian Night, the Air & Water Show, Jazz Festival and New Year’s Eve fireworks at Buckingham Fountain. From May to September, with average temperatures in the mid-70’s, Chicago is bustling with neighborhood festivals. Every weekend, you can find a number of events throughout the city. Each neighborhood festival has its own theme with a number of local bands and restaurants participating.

Along with the Blue Demons, Chicago plays host to seven major professional sports franchises. The Bears of the NFL attract the city’s attention in the fall and winter while the Bulls of the NBA hit the hardwood in the winter. The NHL’s Chicago Blackhawks take to the ice in the winter while the Cubs and White Sox play all summer on the North and Southsides of town.

The International Olympic Committee will make its decision on the host city for the Games of the XXXI Olympiad on Oct. 2, 2009.

When you wear the uniform of the DePaul Blue Demons you are a part of one of the most upand-coming athletic programs in the country. Consider the success of the Blue Demons over the past seven years: Six different sports have represented the Blue Demons in NCAA postseason play. The women’s basketball programs has played in seven straight NCAA’s including a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2006. Women’s softball has made six NCAA appearances in the last eight years with two trips to the Women’s College World Series in 2005 and 2007. Thirteen individual athletes have earned All-American honors a total of 20 times. Five student-athletes were named All-Americans at least two times. n Eight Blue Demons have won individual conference championships including four who have won multiple titles. Brad Millar claimed DePaul’s first BIG EAST individual championship with a first-place finish in the hammer throw at the 2007 BIG EAST Outdoor Track and Field Championships before defending his title with a 2008 championship. Melissa Fraser claimed the first women’s individial championship in the javelin at the 2008 BIG EAST Championships. 146 DePaul student-athletes have earned All-Conference honors from Conference USA and the BIG EAST Conference. The success has continued away from the playing field as well. There have been 787 DePaul student-athletes named to the Conference USA Commissioner’s Academic Honor Roll from 2002-05 and the BIG EAST All-Academic Team list from 2005-08. The 2007-08 athletic year saw the Blue Demons accomplish many outstanding moments including: Nearly 75 competitions have been broadcasted either on the ESPN family of networks, CSTV, Comcast or the BIG EAST Network in the last two years. n Men’s soccer put together the best season in program history as the Blue Demons earned their first NCAA Tournament berth. DePaul captured the BIG EAST Red Division title before reaching the quarterfinals of the BIG EAST Tournament and finished the season with a record-tying 12 victories in 2007. Women’s basketball reached the NCAA Tournament for the sixth straight season and the 13th time since 1990. Senior Allie Quigley was honored by the BIG EAST Conference as the BIG EAST/Aeropostale Scholar-Athlete of the Year and also earned NACDA Division I-AAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors for the second time in three years. Softball made won the 2008 BIG EAST Tournament title and qualified for its sixth NCAA Tournament since 2002. The tournament championship was the first for a DePaul team in the BIG EAST after the 2007 squad became the University’s first BIG EAST Conference regularseason champion. Amber Patton became the program’s 22nd All-American with second team recognition and seven players were recognized as All-Conference players. Men’s tennis claimed third place at the 2008 BIG EAST Championships while the women’s tennis team finished in fourth place. Both teams placed two student-athletes on BIG EAST All-Tournament teams. Off the field, the women’s basketball, softball and women’s tennis program were honored by the NCAA in April 2008 for having multi-year Academic Performance Rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. Additionally, a total of 127 student-athletes were named to the BIG EAST Academic All-Star list for their outstanding efforts in the classroom in 2006-07.

Student-athletes at DePaul University are just that: students first and athletes second. Earning a degree is a top priority for every student-athlete at DePaul. In DePaul’s first three years of BIG EAST membership, a total of 367 student-athletes were named to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team. A total of 133 student-athletes were named to the team in 2007-08 after 127 had a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better for the recognition in 2006-07. Following DePaul’s first BIG EAST campaign in 2005-06, a total of 107 achieved the league academic recognition. Four of DePaul’s 15 athletic programs claimed the BIG EAST Team Excellence Award in 200708 for having the top team GPA among the league program’s in each sport. Women’s basketball, women’s cross country, men’s soccer and women’s tennis held the top team GPA among their peers. Individually, Allie Quigley from the women’s basketball team and women’s tennis student-athlete Dunja Antunovic were selected as the 2007-08 BIG EAST Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellend Award winners their respective sports. The Scholar-Athlete Sport Excellence Awards are given to one studentathlete in each BIG EAST sport based on academic credentials, athletic accolades or performances and volunteer service to the community. A total of 107 student-athletes were named to DePaul University’s Dean’s List for the Fall 2007 and Winter 2008 academic quarters, while women’s basketball player Allie Quigley was named the NACDA I-AAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year and was a third team ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmerican. Brian Visser (first team) and Eric Hermosillo (second team) of the men’s soccer team were named NSCAA/adidas All-Scholar Region honorees. Additionally, Visser was named a NSCAA/adidas Scholar All-American. In the newest data submitted to the NCAA, the commitment of DePaul student-athletes toward graduation is evident. The Academic Progress Rate (APR) measures both the eligibility and retention of student-athletes receiving any level of athletics aid. The women’s basketball, women’s tennis and softball teams were recognized by the NCAA for their outstanding academic APR performances. Each program was recognized by the NCAA for having multi-year APR scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. DePaul’s total of three teams honored represents the fourth-highest total among all BIG EAST schools while the women’s basketball is one of two BIG EAST members to earn the Public Recognition Award and just one of six programs in a BCS conference to be on the list. This off-the-field success comes from key factors at DePaul. First, DePaul’s academic standards require student-athletes to: complete a minimum of eight hours of placeable credits per quarter, a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.0, meet with athletic academic advising staff. Despite its growing enrollment, DePaul maintains a small school atmosphere. DePaul boasts an excellent faculty-to-student ratio of 17-1, although classes of 15-25 students are quite common. This provides an ideal setting for personal academic attention - one of DePaul’s most unique qualities. A student who is not as well prepared may need more help with understanding how to succeed in the college system. Ultimately, the student makes the decision. DePaul provides a strong academic support system for each student-athlete, but it’s the student’s motivation and ability to take the assistance that makes the difference. This approach helps students build the decision-making skills they need to succeed in life. Handling a college sports schedule can be very demanding, but understanding the stress and time demands that accompany college athletics allows DePaul’s Athletic Academic Advising department to give each student the support and guidance needed to launch a successful academic career. By working closely with an extensive network of professors, administrators and student-athletes, the advisors insure that each Blue Demon reaches his or her full academic potential. The staff personally assists each student-athlete with class selection, scheduling, tutoring, and, most importantly, establishing good study skills. They also communicate regularly with professors about each student’s course work and maintain records of each student-athlete’s progress toward graduation. The advisors continue assisting student-athletes through graduation, not just until their eligibility expires. Their services include tutoring, advising, course selection and conducting the NCAA Life Skills Program. To help facilitate the success of student-athletes, Athletic Academic Advising works closely with the offices of Professional Career Development and Placement, Residence Life, University Ministry, Student Financial Aid, Student Life, Student Counseling Services, and the Writing Center. At a highprofile school like DePaul, that’s important.

Already establishing itself as one of the toughest venues in the country, McGrath Arena, housed in the Sullivan Athletic Center on DePaul’s Lincoln Park campus was renamed in the Summer of 2006 in honor of a pair of former members of the DePaul athletics family. Opened in the Spring of 2000, the facility was originally named the DePaul Athletic Center until July 22, 2006, when the facility was renamed the Sullivan Athletic Center to memorialize the achievement of legendary DePaul athletic director and visionary Gene Sullivan. Though Sullivan’s tenure was relatively short, his impact has been long lasting. One of Sullivan’s legacies is that of inclusion, providing enhanced opportunities for minority student-athletes and women. Sullivan’s vision in the emergence of cable television probably is his greatest legacy at DePaul. As a result of his forward-thinking, nearly a generation grew up watching nation-wide broadcasts of Blue Demon men’s basketball, assisting in DePaul University’s emergence into the largest Catholic university in the United States. McGrath Arena is the heart of the Sullivan Athletic Center. The arena was dedicated in honor of Frank McGrath, legendary DePaul assistant men’s basketball coach and administrator. Frank McGrath served DePaul for more than three decades first as an assistant coach to Blue Demon legend Ray Meyer. His legacy was one of hard work, loyalty and dedication. McGrath’s role as an assistant athletic director and director of facilities cemented his place in DePaul’s history. The DePaul volleyball program benefits from the many outstanding features of the Sullivan Athletic Center and McGrath Arena Three multipurpose practice courts Retractable seating for 3,000 Separate viewing balcony for observing games and practice sessions. Top-notch training equipment for the exclusive use of student-athletes Large sports medicine area with multiple treatment tables 2,400 square feet of weight training space Hall of Fame area with displays for trophies and awards Office space for all coaching and administrative staff Wet treatment area with whirlpools and SwimEx aquatic therapy pool, capable of training and rehabilitating world class athletes.

Seven Key Phases of the DePaul Strength & Conditioning Program: Testing – evaluation of the current physical fitness level of our student-athletes. General Preparation – Preparing the athlete’s body to handle the work load of the next phase. (High Volume and Low Intensity.) Functional Strength – a.) Gains in physical qualities that will be transferred to sports movements. b.) Applying sufficient force at the right time at the required performance speed and in the correct direction. (High to Moderate Intensity and Moderate to Low Volume.) Power – Generate force at a high rate of speed in a specific time. (high Intensity and Moderate to Low Volume.) Force – Exertion of physical power. Sports Speed – How fast an athlete can get from A to C while avoiding B. (High Intensity and Low Volume.) Peak – Transforming all gains made in the previous phases into power and endurance needed to excel during the competitive season. (Very High Intensity and Very Low Volume.)
