Today’s top facilities are constantly looking for innovative ways to improve their clients’ experience, increase revenue, and differentiate services. K-VEST provides easily customizable technology and dynamic marketing solutions to attract and retain new golfers. The system’s user-friendly capture, analysis, and training software precisely measures swing efficiency and movement patterns. The real-time visual and auditory feedback keeps students coming back to your facility because they are able to monitor and track their progress over time. K-VEST’s comprehensive solution features include: TPI 3D Software Developed by the Titleist Performance Institute, TPI 3D measures swing efficiency via the kinematic sequence and allows users to compare swing patterns to the world’s top PGA and LPGA players. K-SWING Summary Simple and automated 3D analysis provides user-friendly reporting, comparative PGA/ LPGA averages, and one click delivery of real-time training.

Real-Time Feedback Real-time visual and auditory biofeedback can be used to improve every aspect of the golf swing, including set up, backswing, top and impact positions.
Player Testimonies “I use the K-Vest system to confirm what I’m feeling. If I feel my hands are starting first then followed by my hips, K-Vest can confirm it. There’s a sensor on your wrist and one on your back which tracks the motion of the three major components of the swing; your hands and your upper and lower body rotations. The data you receive is unparalleled. The system analyzes every part of your swing, which has allowed me to fine tune my skills and become a better golfer.” – Sneh Patel “I enjoy using the K-Vest system because it gives me a chance to see my swing and mechanics. It puts my swing in perspective and shows me where I can improve. It’s helped improve my swing by showing me little tweaks in my alignment, posture and the turn at the top of my swing. These are three keys that I’ve been adjusting this semester and without K-Vest it wouldn’t be as easy to do on my own.” - Connie Pitenis

2012-13 WOMEN’S SEASON OUTLOOK Embry-Riddle finished third at the NAIA National Championships, four strokes off the lead, after a remarkable 295 in the final round. They carded the lowest team round of the final day, by eight strokes, but it wasn’t enough to capture the program’s first national title. The Eagles return four of the five athletes that participated in the team’s sixth straight top-five finish at the National Championships in Greeneville, Tenn. Hopes are high for the Eagle women, as they are hoping for a return trip to the National Championship to make another run for a title. “The key to winning is everyone playing their best golf for one week,” said Lopez. “It takes a lot of preparation to peak and be playing well at that time, but it also takes a little luck. Last year we improved our score by 39 shots from our runner-up finish in 2011 and finished third. We have all the pieces to contend, things just need to fall into place for us.”
The Players The Eagles will field an experienced squad for the 2012-13 season, with the return of three seniors. Bea Serra, Connie Pitenis and Pia Jenko are the top returners from last year’s team that finished third at the 2012 NAIA National Championships. Pitenis returns as the low stroke average from last season, finishing with a 79.2, just behind departed graduate Fabys Barreto-Guzman. Pitenis completed her junior season with two top-five, four top-10 and five top-20 finishes. She competed in every round the Blue and Gold teed off in, shooting her lowest round of the season, a 72, at the Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) Invitational (Oct. 3). Pitenis carded a 297 (77-72-74-74) at the National Championship to receive Honorable Mention All-American honors. “I believe we will see more consistency from Connie this season,” said Lopez. “We will see her playing more free, with a stronger game management. I believe she’ll have a much more consistent season. She has learned to be comfortable with her game and knows how to use her skills to maximize her ability. We have yet to see her best golf.” Serra teed off in 10 events in her junior season, averaging 79.4 strokes per round, the third best on the team. She finished a season-best second at the Bash at the Beach (Apr. 14) shooting a 76-78=158, which tied her best 36-hole total on the season. She also shot the seventh lowest round in ERAU women’s golf history with a one-under par 71 at the Lady Moc Golf Classic (Feb. 21). The Barcelona, Spain native captured two top-five and five top-20 finishes. Serra also received 2012 All-America Honorable Mention accolades and was named team MVP and shared the Lead Eagle award with Guzman. Pia “Bea is a very passionate player,” said Lopez. “She wants it very badly and sometimes she tries too hard. She is learning to balance that out and play her game. She’s a coachable player and tries to learn as much as she can. Bea is set up for a breakthrough season.” Jenko Jenko competed in every event for the Eagles during her junior season, averaging 81.3 strokes per round. She shot her way into the record books with a one-under par 71 at the Lady Moc Golf Classic (Feb. 21), the seventh best mark in team history. She finished a season-best ninth at the Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) Invitational (Oct. 3), shooting a 54-hole total 234. The Kranj, Slovenia native finished the season with two top-10 and three top-20 finishes. She also shot a 235 in the National Championship, where she missed one round due to illness. “Pia is a warrior,” Lopez stated. “I can’t tell you how often she has come back from a sickness or injury to perform for our team. Pia has a fighting spirit in her and she never goes away. She needs to continue to balance her fire and her skill to be the best she can be.” Another senior that could make an impact this season is Allison Schultz. A starter on ERAU’s women’s soccer team, Schultz joined the squad in the spring of 2011 and played in three events for the Eagles. Her best round as an Eagle came at the Bash at the Beach on Apr. 10 when she shot 83 and finished tied for 57th out of 68 competitors. “Allison is such an asset to this team,” Lopez claimed. “She’s a great teammate, brings a great attitude and work ethic and helps enhance the atmosphere on our squad.” Heather Wiquist enters the season as the lone junior for the Eagles after finishing last season with an 82.3 season stroke average. Wiquist had her best finish at the Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) Invitational (Oct. 3) placing eighth with a 54-hole total of 233. The Bluffton, S.C. native saved her best round for last, shooting a season-low 76 in the first round of the Sun Conference Championship (Apr. 21) and the final round of the NAIA National Championships (May 18). She finished the season with one top-10 and three top-20 finishes. “Heather is our quiet leader,” Lopez said. “She has a depth of wisdom and drive that can be a stabilizing factor within our lineup and on the team. If she can continue to play her game, she can be the number one player on a given day.” Sophomores Sophie Olley and Charlotte Orren each look to have an impact on the 2012-13 season. Orren enters her second year with the Eagles after teeing off in four events as a freshman, finishing with an 89.7 shots per round average. The San Diego, Calif. native fired a season low 82 in the final round of the Bash at the Beach (Apr. 15). “Charlotte is another emotional and spiritual leader for our team,” Lopez observed. “She is a member of the President’s Team and is the ultimate teammate. She is always looking out for everyone on the team and is one of our hardest workers. She just needs time to develop and continue to strengthen her game.” Sophie Olley begins her career with the Blue and Gold after competing for Murray State as a freshman. As a Racer, the Leeds, England native averaged 83 strokes per round, including a season-best 75 at Drake Creek. She was also voted to the Ohio Valley Conference Newcomer’s team. “Sophie has absolutely no fear,” Lopez said. “She isn’t afraid of making a mistake and isn’t afraid of a bad score and that is rare. In my 18 years of coaching and 30-plus years of competitive golf, I haven’t seen that very often. It’s fun, refreshing and something that has been motivating for her teammates too.” MacKenzie Cunningham is the only freshman on the Eagles team this season. Cunningham is a 2012 graduate of University High School in Carmel, Ind. where she was named Academic All-State Honorable Mention while also playing basketball and lacrosse. She won team MVP honors, placed fourth at sectionals in 2011 and made three consecutive regional appearances. Connie “MacKenzie is a gamer,” said Lopez. “She’s a competitor. She was a multi-sport standout and she brings that mentality to the golf course. I’ve never had such a Pitenis team that is so feisty and hungry to compete. MacKenzie brings that to our team and provides great depth. We are going to strengthen her game, but she has no quit in her and she is never disappointed when she is competing.”

2012-13 \MEN’S SEASON OUTLOOK The 2012-13 season marks the third for Embry-Riddle men’s golf Head Coach Ken Staton and the program’s 25th year of competition. Staton, who is entering his fifth year with the Eagle golf program, took over the men’s head coaching job from women’s Head Coach Maria Lopez in 2010-11 after assisting her with both the teams from 2008-2010. The Eagles continued their success under Staton, finding their way into the record books again. For the second consecutive year Staton’s team posted the lowest season stroke average in program history with a 302.2 and grabbed the program’s first tournament title since 2004. After a slow start and strong finish in 2011-12, the Eagles are eager to make their mark in the Sun Conference and NAIA this season. The men return six letterwinners and add three newcomers that are expected to make an immediate impact. Jackson Koert is the main departure for the Eagles, as the programs first and only All-American, Koert graduates with the topthree season stroke averages, the lowest single round (66) and holds five of the 12 lowest 54-hole scores. While he leaves a big spot to fill, the depth and understanding of the game the team has shown should help the Eagles throughout the 2012-13 season. “Jackson was a tremendous player,” said Staton. “But I believe in the group of young men we have this season and we are hungry for success!”
The Players Three senior co-captains lead the Eagles: Kevin O’Leary, Kris Karlsson and Willy Wilner. O’Leary teed off in five events for the Eagles last season and finished with a stroke average of 80. The highest finish of his junior season was 12th (76-83-77=236) in the Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) Invitational on Oct. 3. “Kevin has come in this season with a new confidence and swagger,” said Staton. “He will be a huge factor in the success of this team.” Karlsson competed in all 10 of the Eagles’ competitions as a junior, placing a career-best fifth at the Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) Invitational with a 223 (71-76-76). He recorded three top-25 finishes and his 76.7 stroke average was good enough for third best on the team. “Kristofer has become a better player each year,” said Staton. “He has improved all aspects of his game. He is also one of the team leaders in the classroom and I see him having a career year this season.” Wilner enjoyed a successful junior season as an Eagle in 2011-12. He competed in seven events and collected four top-25 finishes. His 76.8 stroke average was good enough for fourth-best on the team. He also shot a 36-hole career-best 145 (71-74) at the Johnson & Wales Fall Major on Nov. 1. Jonathan “Willy has worked hard on his game,” said Staton. “Now he is seeing that work pay off. I see him shooting multiple sub-par rounds as a Kopsell senior.” Sneh Patel enters the 2012-13 season as the lone junior for the Blue and Gold after competing in nine events in his sophomore campaign. The Limbe, Malawi native placed in the top 25 four times. He shot a career-best 69 in the first round of the Eagle Invitational on Mar. 20, en route to a career-high fifth-place finish. “Sneh is what Embry-Riddle defines as the total package; student, person and player,” said Staton. “He’s a Resident Assistant, participates in student affairs, is an outstanding student and contributes to our team on the course.” This year’s sophomores, Jonathan Kopsell and Henrik Petersson, will be asked to be the anchors for the 2012-13 Eagles. Kopsell is coming off an impressive freshman campaign that saw the Land O’Lakes, Fla. native record the fourth lowest individual season stroke average (74.7) behind only the departed Koert. Kopsell teed off in all 10 events as a freshman, tallying seven top-25 finishes, four within the top 10. He shot a career-best 215 (71-72-72) at the EmbryRiddle (Ariz.) Invitational on Oct. 3, finishing fourth. “Jon has done an excellent job on and off the course,” Staton said. “He is one of our top three players and has the potential to be an All-American.” Petersson, a Stockholm, Sweden native, finished his first collegiate season with a 76.5 scoring average, third-best on the team. He placed in the top 25 twice, with his best finish coming in the Sun Conference Championship on May 1 where he shot a 228 (74-80-74), placing a team-high 12th. “Henrik has become comfortable with his new surroundings in the United States and his game is showing it,” said Staton. “He is going to be consistent for us the rest of his career.” Kyle Morgan, Alejandro Lozano and Thomas Garnier join the Eagles squad as freshmen in 2012-13. Morgan is a 2012 graduate of Merritt Island Christian in Merritt Island, Fla. During his four-year career, Morgan placed fifth at districts and regionals in 2011, averaged 37 Sneh strokes per nine holes in 2012 and received All-Conference honors in 2008-09. Patel Lozano is a 2012 graduate of Colegio San Carlos in Bogota, Colombia. He is a multi-talented athlete, who posted a 36-hole best 138 in June 2011 and led his high school volleyball and basketball teams to UNCOLI Championships. Garnier is a 2012 graduate of IMG Pendleton School in Sainte-Anne, Guadeloupe. He fired a career-best 76 in 2011 and improved three strokes in 2012. As a senior he was named an All-Conference Honorable Mention selection.

COACHES PROFILES
Women’s Head Coach Season: 13th Hometown: Daytona Beach, Fla. College: Alabama - 1993
Maria Lopez The Embry-Riddle women’s golf team has a great source of golf knowledge leading them through the season thanks to Head Coach Maria Lopez’s experiences, as both a collegiate golfer and touring professional.

Ken Staton In the summer of 2010, Embry-Riddle Director of Athletics Steve Ridder announced the hiring of Ken Staton as the head coach of the men’s golf program. Staton assumed the role of head coach after working with Maria Lopez as the assistant coach to both the men’s and women’s programs for two seasons and is entering his third season at the helm of the men’s team in 2012-13. “We are very excited to have Coach Staton on as a full time coach,” Ridder said. “He has an impressive resume with his overall experiences as a collegiate golfer at the NCAA Division I level and as a player on the PGA tour. Beyond that, I’ve had the opportunity to observe him as an assistant coach over the last two years and what has impressed me even more than his credentials, is that he understands the coaching profession and the opportunity to impact the lives of young people. In addition to his outstanding teaching ability and his knowledge of the sport, he has established a great rapport with the student-athletes and I know they are excited to have him on board full time.” Staton had a successful first year as head coach of the men’s program in 2010-11. Individually, Jackson Koert became the first All-American under Staton’s leadership, earning third team honors for the second consecutive year. Staton’s team also made a mark in the record books as the Eagle men garnered the lowest team season stroke average in Embry-Riddle history with a 303.3, besting the 2006-07 team’s average of 303.4. Staton’s team also tied the 2006-07 team’s lowest single round of 278 (-4) and tied the 2004-05 and 2009-10 teams for the sixth lowest single round in ERAU history at 286 (-2).

A native of Daytona Beach, Staton has a wealth of experience, as he has had great success as a junior-amateur competitor, a collegiate athlete and as a member of several professional tours. Staton played on the PGA Tour from 2002-03, where he garnered two top-five finishes. He was a member of the Nationwide Tour in 1999, 2004, 2005 and 2007 and earned four top 20 finishes during that tenure. Staton was a six-time champion on the Canadian Tour from 1998-01, winning the BC Tel Open, MCTV Benefit Partners Classic, MTS Classic, AMEX SAQ Championship, Telus Open and the Tour Championship Niagara Falls.

The Sun Conference, formerly the Florida Sun Conference, is heading into its 22nd season of competition and continues to be one of the most successful intercollegiate athletic conferences in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. Under the guidance of Commissioner Mark Pope (2011-present), the league sponsors championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track and field, and women’s volleyball. Sun Conference teams are perennial contenders for national titles. In 2011-12, 31 teams made national tournament appearances. The Northwood men’s basketball team, the SCAD Savannah women’s golf team and Embry-Riddle’s women’s tennis team each finished as runner-up in their respective national tournaments. Additionally, the league racked up numerous individual national titles as Embry-Riddle’s Chris Freeman and Patrick Besch and Adrian Bayh won the ITA/NAIA National singles and doubles titles respectively, while the Eagles’ Reta Woodard, Nicole Bonk and Crystal Bardge won national titles in track and field.

2011-12 Sun Conference Championship Results
Individually speaking, student-athletes from The Sun Conference have proven themselves worthy of national recognition year after year. In 2010-11 alone, 68 student-athletes from the league were named NAIA All-Americans, while 96 TSC athletes were also named DaktronicsNAIA Scholar Athletes. The roots of The Sun Conference date back to 1990 when the league was originally formed as the Florida Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Original membership consisted of Embry-Riddle, Flagler, Florida Memorial, Nova (now Nova Southeastern), Palm Beach Atlantic, St. Thomas, Webber International and Warner Southern. The name “Florida Sun Conference” was adopted in 1992. The league grew to nine members with the addition of Northwood in 1994. Between 2002 and 2006, Nova Southeastern, Palm Beach Atlantic and Flagler moved to NCAA II, but the league was able to recruit new members as Savannah College of Art and Design joined in 2004 followed by Edward Waters in 2006. With the addition of the University of South Carolina at Beaufort, Johnson & Wales, Southeastern, Ave Maria and Thomas (Ga.), along with Edward Waters’ move to the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, the league membership now stands at 12 schools.

2011-12 WOMEN’S SEASON REVIEW
The Embry-Riddle women’s golf team put together another great season in 2011-12. The Eagles finished third at the National Championships, carding a program record 1215 in the four-day, 72-hole event, including the second lowest round ever by an Eagle team with a 295 in the fourth round. The women also finished with the second lowest season stroke average (315.4), behind only the 2009-10 team that finished with a 313.3 average.
THE FALL The Blue and Gold competed in four events during the fall, beginning with a fourth-place finish at the Daytona State Lady Falcon Invitational (Sept. 25). The Eagles shot 637 (314-323) as three golfers garnered top-15 finishes by concluding play with a 157. Heather Wiquist and Fabys Barreto-Guzman had a 79 and 78 on alternating days, while Bea Serra had the low round of 76 and shot 81 on day two. The Eagles followed that with their first win of the season at the Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) Invitational (Oct. 3) at the Talking Rock Golf Club. Connie Pitenis and Bea Serra finished in the top five as Pitennis shot a 225 (72-74-79) for third place and Serra carded at 227 (73-77-77) for fourth. Embry-Riddle concluded its fall season finishing 10th and 13th at the Nova Southeastern Shark Invitational (Oct. 12) and the Flagler Fall Slam (Oct. 25), respectively. Serra paced the women at NSU with a 36-hole total of 154 (76-78) for 12th place.
THE SPRING The Eagles garnered their fourth top ten finish of the season in their spring opener at the Lady Moc Golf Classic (Feb. 21). The 54-hole tournament was held at The Club at Eaglebrooke in Lakeland, Fla. where the women shot 948 (310-326-312). Head Coach Maria Lopez and her squad came back to Daytona Beach to host the 23rd Annual Eagle Invitational (Mar. 20) where the Eagles took third place with a 631 (320-311). Barreto-Guzman paced the Blue and Gold with a five-over par 149 (77-72), good enough to earn a share of second place. Embry-Riddle carded a 54-hole total of 973 (315-327-331) and placed 17th out of 19 teams at the Cincinnati Spring Invite at Plantation Golf Resort and Spa. The women bounced back to earn their fourth top five finish of the season, placing second in the Bash at the Beach (Apr. 15) at the LPGA International Golf Club. The Eagles placed four golfers in the top 10 and finished with a 36-hole total of 627. Pitenis and Guzman tied for seventh with a 157.
The Postseason Postseason play began at The Sun Conference Championship on Apr. 20 at LPGA International Golf Club in Daytona Beach. The Eagle women finished third with a 628 (316-312) in the two-day tournament and Barreto-Guzman, Pitenis and Serra received All-Conference honors. ERAU earned an at-large berth into the NAIA National Championship by being ranked fifth in the final NAIA Women’s Golf Coaches’ Top 25 Poll. The trip was the Eagles’ 11th consecutive to the national tournament. A year after falling to eventual NAIA National Champion California Baptist in a playoff, the Eagles placed third at the NAIA National Championship. The women entered round three in fifth place, but fired the lowest team round of the day (295) and moved into the third spot. The fifth-ranked Eagles finished with a four-day, 72-hole total of 1215 (308-304-308-295). Pitenis fired a one-over par 74 on the final day and finished with a score of 297 (77-72-74-74). Pitenis garnered a top-five finish in the 144-player tournament and earned All-Tournament Team honors. Barreto-Guzman also received All-Tournament Team honors for the second consecutive season shooting a three-under par 70 in the final round to post a 298 (78-78-72-70) to tie for fifth. Barreto-Guzman, Pitenis and Serra all received All-American honors from the NAIA, with Barreto-Guzman being selected to the first team for the second straight season, while Pitenis and Serra garnered Honorable Mention accolades.

2011-12 MEN’S SEASON REVIEW
The 2011-12 Embry-Riddle men’s golf team won the program’s first tournament in eight years, winning the 13-team 23rd Annual Eagle Invitational. Second year head coach Ken Staton’s team finished the season with four top-five finishes and placed themselves in the ERAU record books with the lowest season stroke average in program history at 302.2, while also placing in the top-10 in lowest single round (286, 287), lowest 36-hole score (299-297=595) and lowest 54-hole score (302-286-300=888, 287-304-301=892, 300-301-292=893, 895 twice).
THE FALL The Eagles opened the fall season in St. Augustine, Fla. where they competed in the Jay Jennison Memorial at The Palencia Club. The team placed 11th overall, shooting a three-day total of 926 (310-311-305). ERAU traveled to Prescott, Ariz. on Oct. 2, to participate in the Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) Invitational held at the Talking Rock Golf Club. They placed second overall and were paced by Jonathan Kopsell who shot a one-under par 215 (71-72-72) for a fourth place finish. The Eagle men followed that tournament with an eighth-place showing at the Mission Inn Fall Intercollegiate for the second straight season. Kopsell again paced the Blue and Gold with his second top-15 finish, shooting 228 (79-77-72). The Blue and Gold wrapped up its fall season with an eighth-place finish at the Johnson & Wales Wildcat Invitational at the Miami Shores Country Club. Willy Wilner led the Eagles with his best round of the season, a five-over par 145 (71-74) and a 17th-place finish.
THE SPRING The Eagles began their spring schedule at the Titan Winter Invitational in Melbourne, Fla. where ERAU placed seventh with a three-round score of 903 (298-300-305). Kopsell shot a four-over par 220 (76-70-74) to pace the Eagles. Embry-Riddle then traveled to Lake Wales, Fla. to take part in the eighth annual Start 2 Finish Classic held at the Lake Wales Country Club. The Blue and Gold placed fifth and shot 912 (299-311-302) in the three-day tournament while placing two players in the top-20. Jackson Koert carded a team low 219 (69-73-77) for a sixth place finish and Kopsell shot 225 (73-77-75) for 17th. Staton and the Eagles returned Daytona Beach, Fla. for the first time in 2012 for the Bethune-Cookman Wildcat Invitational at LPGA International Golf Club. Embry-Riddle placed third with an 888 (302-286-300) for back-to-back top five finishes. Kopsell finished a season-best third, shooting a one-over par 217 (73-74-70). Koert also finished in the top 10 with a three-over par 219 (77-70-72). Staton got his first win as head coach at Embry-Riddle when the Eagles won their first tournament in eight years at the 23rd Annual Eagle Invitational. The Blue and Gold won by six strokes with a score of 895 (289-304-302). Koert was the story for the Eagles as he finished tied for first with a 217 (72-71-74), taking second after two playoff holes. Sneh Patel carded his best round as an Eagle, shooting a 69 in round one en route to his first top five of his collegiate career. Embry-Riddle concluded the regular season with a sixth place finish at the Bash at the Beach, the spring major for The Sun Conference. The Eagles shot 893 (300-301-292) led by Kopsell who finished fourth with a 54-hole total of 216 (69-75-72).
The Postseason Postseason play began and ended at The Sun Conference Championship on May 1 at Southern Hills Plantation in Brooksville, Fla. The Eagles finished seventh with a 54-hole total of 928 (310-310-308). Henrik Petersson was the Eagles low scorer, finishing tied for 12th with a 228 (74-80-74). The 2011-12 men’s golf team fell short of its championship aspirations but Koert and Kopsell also made individual history finishing with the third (74.5) and fourth (74.7) best season stroke averages respectively.

The campus is within an hour’s drive of the Kennedy Space Center and the Space Coast and within easy reach of Orlando and Jacksonville, which offer a menu of arts, culture, theme parks, shopping and professional sports.
History
On Dec. 17, 1925, 22 years after the historic flight of the Wright Flyer, barnstormer John Paul Riddle and entrepreneur T. Higbee Embry founded the Embry-Riddle Company at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio. The following spring the company opened the Embry-Riddle School of Aviation. Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University began with a simple plan to train airplane pilots in a thorough, efficient manner and to cash in on a booming post-World War I interest in flying. Today, Embry-Riddle leads the world in aviation and aerospace higher education. After a period of decline in the 1930s, Embry-Riddle sprang to life again in Miami, Fla., as World War II erupted in Europe and the demand for aviators and mechanics surged. Allied nations sent more than 25,000 young men to Embry-Riddle’s Florida centers to become pilots and aviation technicians. During the Korean War the U.S. Air Force contracted with Embry-Riddle to train airmen in the fundamentals of airplane maintenance. In the following decades, Embry-Riddle expanded its international outreach and strengthened its academic programs. In 1965, Embry-Riddle consolidated its flight training, ground school and technical training programs into one location. With dollars and trucks borrowed from civic leaders, the move to Daytona Beach signaled
40
the rebirth of Embry-Riddle as an accredited university and the start of its odyssey to world-class status.
Academics
Embry-Riddle is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award degrees at the associate, bachelor and master levels.

B.E.S.T. PROGRAM THE B.E.S.T. PROGRAM The Braddock Education Success Team (BEST) Program was incorporated into the Embry-Riddle Athletic Program during the 1999-00 academic year. The BEST Program is a branch of the Braddock Foundation, which was established by Robert & Lois Braddock. It is currently sponsored by their daughter and Spruce Creek Fly-in resident, Cherie Keemar, and was initiated by her late husband, Michael. The BEST program offers tutoring and mentoring programs to assist student-athletes in managing their time between academics, athletics and social development. One of the fundamental components of the BEST Program is Study Hall, which is for student-athletes who are required to attend according to stipulations set by each respective team’s coaching staff. Study Hall is a place where tutors and mentors are available for student-athletes throughout the academic year. With its clearly defined criteria and rules of conduct, Study Hall strives to provide a structured environment
4.0 CLUB
that will benefit student-athletes by improving study habits, honing focus and providing one-on-one learning opportunities. It is not intended to be a substitute for regular class attendance and routine study, but is designed as an essential tool to help student-athletes achieve their academic objectives. Dave Therneau serves as the Academic Enhancement Coordinator of the BEST Program. He and other BEST Program staff members oversee the daily operations of the Academic Advancement Center where all students, including athletes, can go and receive tutoring in many of the courses and subjects that are part of the curriculum at Embry-Riddle. Embry-Riddle is in the process of constructing a new College of Arts & Sciences building. In it will house a 9,000 square foot facility dedicated to the University’s Academic Achievement Center, which includes the BEST Program.

NAIA - CHAMPIONS OF CHARACTER National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Throughout its history, the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) has provided strong leadership for all aspects of intercollegiate sports. Since its introduction of intercollegiate championship basketball in 1937, the NAIA has maintained the highest standards while administering first-rate athletics programs. With its major emphasis on education and character development, it was natural for the NAIA to further strengthen academic eligibility requirements in the 1980s. All NAIA participating student-athletes must maintain a 2.0 grade-point-average (GPA) while accumulating credit hours for a declared academic degree. Unlike other associations, NAIA student-athlete academic eligibility is monitored on a term-by-term basis. Since 1937, the NAIA has administered programs and championships in proper balance with the overall educational experience. In 2000, the NAIA reaffirmed its purpose to enhance the character-building aspects of sport.
NAIA Quick Facts
• 60,000 student-athletes • 13 sports • 23 national championships • 300 colleges and universities • $450 million in athletic scholarships
champions of character
respect • Responsibility • Integrity • Sportsmanship • servant Leadership Embry-Riddle Champions of Character Quick Facts
• John Mark Adkison, ERAU’s Champions of Character Liaison • 1570+ hours of community service by ERAU student-athletes in 2011-12 • ERAU named a 2011-12 NAIA Champions of Character Five Star Institution The Champions of Character initiative was established by the NAIA to help promote the “right thing” by those affiliated with sports both inside and outside the sports setting. In so doing, the organization looks to develop exemplary character and sportsmanship in NAIA competition. Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every student-athlete, coach, official and spectator is committed to the true spirit of competition through five tenets: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship. This program educates and create awareness of the positive character-building traits afforded by sports and returns integrity to competition at the collegiate and youth levels while impacting all of society. Under the guidance of Assistant Athletic Director John Mark Adkison, who serves as ERAU’s Champions of Character liaison, the Embry-Riddle Athletic Department has enthusiastically embraced the implementation of the NAIA Champions of Character initiative. For years the department has sought to instill in student-athletes the very values addressed by the movement. Embry-Riddle’s intercollegiate teams participate in Champions of Character events throughout the school year, including: • Elementary school reading programs • Habitat for Humanity • Food Brings Hope • Beach clean-up • Children’s Home Society Christmas Drive • Embry-Riddle Housing move-in • Serving Thanksgiving dinner to the homeless In addition to these events, the department instituted a Student-Athlete Leadership Team (SALT) that assists in the planning of Champions of Character events within the community.
