MEDIA GUIDE

2014 Season Outlook MEN:

The 2013 season saw the Embry-Riddle men’s track and field team claim its seventh consecutive conference crown and place 18th at both the NAIA Indoor and Outdoor National Championships. Head Coach Mike Rosolino is looking to extend the conference streak to eight straight championships and improve the team scores at the national meets. The 2014 season will see a number of new faces on the team, with 22 freshmen on the roster. Coach Rosolino expects his six seniors to provide the leadership needed to defend the conference title and believes this year’s team has the talent and potential to achieve a top-10 finish at the NAIA National Championships. “We’ve got a good group of athletes that can make some noise at the national level,” Rosolino said. “As far as conference goes, I fully expect us to defend our title once again. We don’t necessarily have someone who’s a favorite to win a national title, but we do have 10-12 individuals that are capable scoring points at the national meets. The fun thing about this team is that they know it’s going to require a team effort, and they have really bought into that concept of competing as a team rather than a group of individuals. This is one of the most fun teams I’ve had the chance to coach, because of the attitude and work ethic the kids have shown. They really put the team first.”

Sprints

The Eagles will look to some new faces to step in and try to fill the big shoes left by All-American Leon Robinson, Bryan Ray and Steve McGinley. “Losing Leon, Bryan and Steve obviously hurts our sprinters,” Rosolino stated. “But we have a solid group of sprinters this year that work really hard and I think they will develop as the year goes on.” Senior Joe DiGregorio will be counted on to lead the young group. DiGregorio helped the 4x100m and 4x200m relay teams finish first and second, respectively, at The Sun Conference Championships last year, earning All-Conference honors in both events. In the longer sprints, Jean Frenot, John Hemingway and Alex Dori are expected to compete for conference titles and have the potential to qualify for nationals. Dori qualified for nationals in the 400m hurdles last year, while Hemingway and Frenot both have the potential to qualify in the same event this year. Ricardo Dunbar, Matthew Goble and Joshua Stief are some of the freshman who have the chance to jump in and compete individually and fight for spots on the relay teams. Dunbar is expected to contribute in the shorter sprints, while Goble and Stief should help the 4x400m relay team and compete in the 400m event.

Middle Distance

Staker

Typically a strong suit for Embry-Riddle, this year’s middle distance group looks strong and capable of scoring points at the national meets. “I am looking for our middle distance guys to have a really good year,” Rosolino remarked. “Our 4x800m relay and Distance Medley Relay have the chance to be really strong.” Alec Hernandez was an All-American on the outdoor 4x800m relay team in 2012 and Zachary Kraus is a three-time All-Sun Conference cross country performer; Rosolino expects both to have great seasons individually and as part of the relays. James Armor and Andrew Carpenter are two newcomers from nearby Spruce Creek High School who Rosolino believes can step in and contribute right away.

Long Distance

Last season, Vincent Bett earned the program’s first-ever All-American honor in the Steeplechase, finishing third in the outdoor 3000m event. He is also coming off his best cross country season, leading Rosolino to have high expectations for the upcoming track campaign. “Vincent had a solid 2013 track season,” Rosolino commented. “He was an All-American in the Steeplechase, so we are counting on him to score points for us at nationals again. He should also be a contender nationally in a few distance events.” Rosolino also believes Paul McKenna is poised to have a breakout season for the Eagles. McKenna placed second in a majority of ERAU’s cross country races in the fall, setting him up to push Bett in the 3K and 5K track events. Another distance runner who Rosolino thinks could have a good 2014 season is Joshua Guerrero. Guerrero was an All-Conference performer in the 10K two years ago, but he has also been training for the half and full marathon events, including winning the Daytona Beach Half Marathon last year.

Throws

The Embry-Riddle men’s track and field program has never had an All-American in a throwing event. This year’s group is young, but Rosolino sees a lot of potential in them. “Other then Kameron Turner, who’s a senior, our throwers are very young,” Rosolino said. “I’m really excited about their potential and I think some of them can jump in and make a major impact right away. And I don’t want to ignore Kameron, who I believe will have a great season throwing the javelin for us.” Turner was All-Conference in three field events last year (javelin, discus and pole vault) and should be the team’s top javelin thrower in 2014. Among the newcomers, Angel Parra and Chris Johnson are expected to be competitive right away.

Jumps

Bett

Last year, Mike Edwards won the high jump at both the NAIA Indoor and Outdoor National Championships, becoming the first Eagle to win either event. With his graduation, Rosolino will be turning to some familiar faces to lead the jumpers in 2014. “Losing Mike is obviously huge for us,” Rosolino stated. “He was phenomenal last year, but I think we’ve got some guys who can contribute on a national level again for us this year. Richard Maku and Matthew Goble should have great seasons, and once basketball season ends, Rico Saldana will be a great high jumper for us.” Maku qualified for nationals in the triple jump last year as a freshman and Rosolino expects him to be a contender in that event this year. Saldana will join the team for the outdoor season and will likely compete for another All-Conference honor in the high jump, something he achieved last year. Goble is a newcomer who will step in and compete for the conference title in the high jump.

THIS IS EMBRY-RIDDLE

2014 TRACK & FIELD

2014 Season Outlook Pole Vault

The pole vault is expected to be one of the deepest field events for Embry-Riddle in 2014, led by A.J. Bales, Maxwell Breier and Kameron Turner. Bales qualified for nationals in the event, while Breier and Turner narrowly missed the qualifying standard. “I’m very excited to see what this group can do,” Rosolino said. “After just missing out on nationals last year, I think Max and Kameron should be really motivated. I believe we have the chance to have one or two All-Americans in the pole vault, and I’d like to see three to five of them qualify for the national meet.” Evan Bales, A.J.’s younger brother, is a newcomer who could make an immediate impact. Zacahary Lietzau and Clint Ploch are also pole vaulters who have potential to make a push for the national qualifying marks.

Multi-Events

The most challenging events at any track meet are the multi-events, requiring athletes to demonstrate a variety of skills. The multi-events also demand much of the body in a relatively short period of time, further increasing the difficulty of the discipline. ERAU has a pair of athletes that will compete in these events, including returner Michael Campobasso and newcomer James Bullock. “Having Michael come back with a year of experience should really help him to have a solid season,” Rosolino remarked. “James is one of our biggest-impact newcomers, coming from Cumberlands where he was an All-American in the heptathlon as a freshman last year. He could end up being one of our top high jumpers and pole vaulters, too.”

WOMEN:

For the fifth consecutive season, the Embry-Riddle women’s track and field team captured The Sun Conference title in 2013. On a national level, the women took home 12th place at the NAIA Indoor National Championship and finished 18th at the outdoor meet. Head Coach Mike Rosolino believes that this year’s team has the potential to improve on those national meet finishes, with multiple athletes capable of capturing individual national titles. “Our women’s team has a lot of talent this season,” Rosolino said. “We’ve got a chance to really make a splash at nationals, with four individuals who have a legitimate shot at winning events. Plus we have a number of others who have the potential to score some points for us, and if we can have seven or eight people scoring, we’ve got a good shot at finishing in the top five. I’m really excited to see how well we can do at a national level.”

Sprints

The sprinters will be led by returning three-time All-American Kristina Kendrick, who will be joined by some new faces who have a lot of potential. Candice Dixon, who will compete in the short sprints, sat out last year after transferring from Chattahoochee Tech. Shonte Miller is a newcomer who will likely contribute in the 4x400m relay as well as in the longer sprints, while Halle Green-Anderson is a transfer from Auburn who will see action in the sprint hurdles as well as the long jump. “Kristina is definitely someone we’re look to have a strong showing at nationals,” Rosolino stated. “She’s been an All-American three times, so I expect her to compete for a title individually and in the relays. Candice should help us in the shorter sprints and Shonte will compete in the longer sprints; they both can contribute in the relays, too. Halle has a lot of potential to do well in the hurdles and relays, and she’ll also compete in the long jump.”

Kraus

Middle Distance

Five-time All-American Ellie Staker will lead the group of middle distance runners in 2014. After missing the 2013 track season, Staker came back to have a great cross country season in the fall, earning the program’s first-ever All-America honor in that sport. Marina Levine also had a great cross country season and Rosolino hopes she can carry that over to the track. Also competing in the middle distance events will be juniors Lauren Eschbach, Rebecca Love and Aleiyah Ross, making this one of the most veteran groups on the team. “It will be nice to have Ellie back after she missed last year while doing an internship,” Rosolino remarked. “She was an All-American in cross country in the fall and she’s earned numerous All-America accolades in track, so we expect her to lead us this year. I think her goal is to shoot for a national title, and I believe she can do that.”

Long Distance

With the loss of Nicole Bonk, a three-time national champion in the Race Walk, Rosolino will turn to a freshman who he thinks can fill those very big shoes. Maite Moscoso won the event at the 2012 USATF Jr. Olympics and holds the fourth-best high school mark all-time in the 3000m Race Walk. She is also the American record holder for under-15s in the event. “Maite has the potential to jump in and score points for us right away,” Rosolino said. “She has the talent to step in right where Nicole left off. Maite might not be the favorite to win the national championship, but she’s definitely in the top three.” Jaena Smith and Brittany King represent the upperclassmen who will compete in the more traditional distance events, along with freshmen Hayley Lewis and Annabel Steiner.

Throws

Reta Woodard is already the most-decorated field athlete in program history, owning two national titles and seven All-America honors. Woodard isn’t satisfied with all of those accolades, as she has set her sights on becoming the school’s first-ever four-time national champion. Joining Woodard in the throws will be Channel Coco, a freshman who Rosolino has high expectations for. “Reta is a two-time national champion who has set a goal for herself to break the school record of three titles,” Rosolino stated. “She wants to win two, if not three, this year. I know she will play a big part in our success at a conference and a national level. Channel will probably be the best shot putter we’ve ever had, and I think she’s got a good shot to break the school record in the shot put this year.”

Jumps

Evanna Ramirez and Halle Green-Anderson are both expected to compete in the jumps for the Eagles this year. Green-Anderson will compete in a variety of events, including the sprint hurdles and sprint relays, as well as the long jump. Last year at Auburn, Green-Anderson jumped 5.64m, which is just two inches shy of the Embry-Riddle record. Ramirez placed in the top seven at The Sun Conference Championships in all three jumps (triple, long, high), including a fourth-place finish in the triple jump. “Halle can definitely challenge the school record in the long jump,” Rosolino commented. “She’s got the potential to score some points at nationals for us in that event, too, as well as in some of the sprints and relays. Evanna has the potential to be All-Conference in the triple jump and possibly the other jumps as well.”

MEDIA GUIDE

Mike Rosolino enters his 10th year as the head coach of the Embry-Riddle track and field team and recently finished his 12th year with the cross country program as head coach. Rosolino has coached the track and field team from it’s inception in 2005. Over the last nine seasons with the track and field team, Rosolino has led the men to seven conference championships and the women to five league titles. He has coached numerous conference champions, 47 indoor All-American honors, 42 outdoor All-American honors and six National Champions: Crystal Bardge (60m hurdles, 2011 indoor; 100m hurdles, 2011 outdoor; 100m hurdles, 2012 outdoor), Nicole Bonk (3000m race walk; 2012, 13 indoor; 5000m race walk, 2012 outdoor), Mike Edwards (high jump, 2013 indoor and outdoor), Beth McCubbin (1000m; 2008, 09 indoor), Sam Vazquez (1000m, 2011 indoor) and Reta Woodard (weight throw, 2012 indoor; hammer throw, 2013). In his first year (2005), Embry-Riddle participated in their first Florida Sun Conference/Region XIV meet where the men’s and women’s teams both finished second in the conference and fourth and sixth, respectively, overall. He sent two runners to compete at the NAIA National Championships, a first in school history. The following year was a great year for Rosolino as he sent runners to both the NAIA Indoor and Outdoor National Championships and came back with two All-Americans. On the national stage, his team was awarded the Buffalo Funds Five Star Award, honoring a team who embraces the five core character values of the NAIA. In 2007, the Eagle men earned their first conference championship under Rosolino and he was named the men’s conference Coach of the Year. The 2008 campaign was a great success as the men’s team repeated as Sun Conference Champions and Rosolino repeated as the conference Coach of the Year on the men’s side. In 2009, the men’s team clinched their third consecutive Sun Conference crown and the women’s team earned their first Sun Conference title. Rosolino was named the Sun Conference Coach of the Year for both the men and women. The 2010 season saw both the men’s and women’s squads add another conference championship to the trophy case, giving the men four straight titles while the women won their second consecutive championship. The 2011 season was arguably the greatest season in school history, as Rosolino coached two athletes to a total of three national titles, both squads captured conference titles and both the men’s and women’s teams placed in the top 12 at both the indoor and outdoor NAIA National Championships. The 2012 season was greater than the last, as Rosolino coached three athletes to a total of four national titles, both squads continued to dominate The Sun Conference as each won another title and the women placed in the top five in both the indoor and outdoor NAIA National Championships. During the 2013 campaign, Rosolino coached three athletes to three national titles, both squads won conference titles and had solid performances in the NAIA National Championships the women finished 12th in the indoor and 18th at the outdoor, while the men finished 18th at both meets. Over the last 12 cross country seasons, Mike Rosolino’s harriers have dominated Sun Conference competition. The men’s team has nine straight league titles to its credit, while the women’s team has seven conference titles. The Eagles run began in 2005 when the Embry-Riddle men captured the program’s first league and NAIA Regional titles and made their first team appearance at the NAIA National Championship. A year later, Rosolino’s harriers repeated that performance and were joined by the ERAU women who claimed their first regional and conference crowns. Rosolino has been named The Sun Conference Cross Country Coach of the Year 15 times in his Embry-Riddle career, eight times for the men and seven times on the women’s side, and the NAIA Region XIV Coach four times. He picked up his latest league coaching accolades in 2013 after leading the men’s team to its ninth straight conference championship. In the NAIA National Championship, the Eagle men have had four All-American honors and have finished in the top 10 three times. The latest was a fifth place finish in 2009. In 2013, the Blue and Gold men placed 16th at the National Championship. On the women’s side the Eagles’ best finish was 16th place in 2009. In 2013, the Eagles finally had an All-American on the women’s side when Ellie Staker placed 21st individually at the National Championships. Along with training top-of-the-line athletes, Rosolino sets the highest standards for his athletes in the classroom. In the past nine seasons, he has coached 35 DaktronicsNAIA Scholar-Athlete honorees. His teams have also consistently earned NAIA Scholar Team recognition. A long-time veteran of the sport, Rosolino came to Embry-Riddle from Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C., where he spent two years on the coaching staff for the Blue Hose. He began his stint at PC as an assistant coach and was elevated to the head job after just six months. Despite the brevity of his tenure with the program, Rosolino guided the Blue Hose to their best finishes in school history, producing two South Atlantic Conference Runners of the Year and a Freshman of the Year in the process. Rosolino’s teams were equally as successful off the field. Four student-athletes earned Academic All-American status under his watchful eye, while both squads earned Academic All-America Team accolades. Prior to earning his position within the Presbyterian athletic department, Rosolino spent four academic years (1997-01) as the Director of Residence Life in Clinton. He also served as Resident Director for one year (1996-97) while attending graduate school. A former standout runner for Rhodes College in Memphis, Tenn., Rosolino helped the Lynx to three Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) cross country titles from 1993-95. In his final season, he assumed the role of team captain and finished 11th overall at the SCAC Championship meet. Rosolino also ran two seasons for the Rhodes track team, competing in the middle to long distance races. In 1995, he finished fifth at the SCAC Championships in the steeplechase. An Academic All-American for Rhodes in 1994 and 1995, Rosolino was a National Merit finalist and earned distinction as a National Science Scholar. Rosolino earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Rhodes in 1996. He went on to receive his Master of Education degree from the University of South Carolina in 1998 with an emphasis on student personnel services. He also graduated from Loyola College in New Orleans in 2009 with a Master of Pastoral Studies, and is currently pursuing a third master’s degree in Theology from Saint Leo University in Tampa. Rosolino also holds a Level II certification from USA Track and Field. . Rosolino and his wife Carrie reside in Port Orange with daughter Lynnlee and son Tanner.

The Sun Conference, formerly the Florida Sun Conference, is heading into its 24th season of competition and continues to be one of the most successful intercollegiate athletic conferences in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The institutions in the conference believe in strong educational commitment combined with balanced athletic competition. Originally formed in March 1990 as the Florida Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (FIAC), The Sun Conference was established as a conference for small independent institutions within the NAIA. The name “Florida Sun Conference” was adopted in 1992. The league unveiled its new name, “The Sun Conference” on August 18, 2008 to be inclusive of member schools from Georgia and South Carolina. Under the guidance of commissioner Mark Pope, 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 field and women’s volleyball. Sun Conference teams are perennial contenders for national titles. In 2013-14, 36 teams made national tournament appearances. The Embry-Riddle men’s tennis team captured the 2013 NAIA National Championship, while the Eagles’ women’s golf and baseball teams finished third in their respective national championships. Additionally, the league racked up numerous individual national titles as Embry-Riddle’s Patrick Besch won the ITA/NAIA National singles title, while the Eagles’ Reta Woodard, Nicole Bonk and Mike Edwards won national titles in track and field. Northwood’s Ra’Shad James was named the NAIA Division II Men’s Basketball Player of the Year in 2013 while ERAU’s Deni Zmak was named the Ward Ballinger

Award winner in men’s tennis. Additionally, EmbryRiddle’s Dave Paschal earned national Coach of the Year honors for men’s tennis. In 2012-13 alone, 64 student-athletes from the league were named NAIA All-Americans, while 144 TSC athletes were also named Daktronics-NAIA AllAmerica Scholar-Athletes. Embry-Riddle finished first in The Sun Conference Commissioner’s Cup, which is awarded annually to the strongest athletic program in the league. Since the league’s inception in 1990, only five teams have captured the Commissioner’s Cup, formerly known as the All-Sports Trophy. Embry-Riddle won its 14th straight cup in 2012-13, continuing to set the mark for cups won. Former member Nova Southeastern is second with five honors, St. Thomas is third (2), while Webber International and Flagler each earned the award during the first two years of the conference. 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 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 recruited new members as SCAD Savannah joined in 2004 followed by Edward Waters in 2006. With the addition of South Carolina Beaufort, Johnson and Wales, Southeastern, Ave Maria and Thomas (Ga.) within the last four years, along with Edward Waters’ move to the Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, the league membership now stands at 12 schools.

DAYTONA BEACH DAYTONA BEACH - HOME OF THE EAGLES Daytona Beach is an ever-changing city of more than 61,000 residents. Located on the “Fun Coast” of Florida, the principal city of Volusia County, it has become one of the premier destination spots in the Southeast Region. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small, close-knit beach community. The city is a year-round family-friendly resort area, which hosts large groups of out-of-towners that descend upon the city for various events, most notably Speedweeks in early February, Bike Week in early March, Biketoberfest in October and Spring Break throughout March. Home to four colleges and universities, Daytona Beach boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives and celebrates the diversity of its community. Located less than an hour from Orlando and an hour and a half from Jacksonville, Daytona Beach residents have ample opportunity to experience both cities’ entertainment options, including Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, the Orlando Magic and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Daytona Beach continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events at the Ocean Center and Jackie Robinson Ballpark.

Daytona Beach boasts three major sports franchises in NASCAR, the LPGA and the USTA. The Daytona International Speedway is one of the most recognizable racetracks in the world and features the Daytona 500, Coke Zero 400 and numerous other auto racing events. The LPGA and USTA Florida both claim Daytona Beach as their organizational headquarters.

The beaches of Daytona rank sixth for beach destinations in the United States. Every year, millions of vacationers flock to the Atlantic Ocean and Daytona Beach to experience the sandy beaches in Volusia County. The hard packed sand allows motorized vehicles to drive right onto the beach.

Daytona Beach is located a short, 55-mile drive away from the Vacation Capital of the World: Orlando, Florida. Orlando is home to Walt Disney World, Sea World and Universal Studios, as well as the NBA’s Orlando Magic. Daytona Beach is also just 91 miles from Jacksonville, the 11th-largest city in the United States.

70.4º 200

The average yearly temperature in Daytona Beach is 70.4º F (21.3º C), making for a warm and pleasant climate in which to live. Winters are mild and summers are warm thanks to its location on the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River, an estuary which flows between the beachside and the mainland.

Daytona Beach boasts more than 200 restaurants, including barbecue, Mexican, Oriental, Greek, Indian, Italian, Thai, seafood, Cuban, health and natural foods.

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 the rebirth of Embry-Riddle as an accredited university and the start of its odyssey to world-class status.

The Embry-Riddle Athletics Administration announced the appointment of Sonja Taylor to the position of Executive Director of Student-Athlete Support Services in January 2014. Taylor, a 30-year veteran of the University, was also designated the Senior Woman Administrator. In her role with Athletics, Taylor is a member of the senior leadership team, focusing primarily on support services and programs for student-athletes, including academic excellence, personal and career development and overall well-being. She also provides sport supervision for several of ERAU’s female athletics teams and coaches. Before joining the Athletics Department, Taylor served in a variety of roles within the University’s Division of Student Affairs. She began her career at Embry-Riddle as ERAU’s Residence Life Coordinator in 1984 and two years later, she became the Director of Housing. During her tenure as the Director of Housing, she provided administrative leadership in the planning and construction of the Student Village in 1997, which increased the number of on-campus residents from 900 to 1,900. In 2002, Taylor was named the Associate Dean of Students, providing oversight to Housing and Residence Life, Health Services, and Counseling and Orientation, while

serving as the functional Director of Housing.

She has attended numerous games as a season ticket holder and her interaction with the Eagle coaches and student-athletes has resulted in her being asked to be an honorary coach at home contests, in addition to being a guest speaker at the 2012 ERAU Student-Athlete Convocation.

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

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.

National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics In the NAIA, a dedication to leadership development is balanced with sports accomplishment. A trailblazer in providing equal opportunity for all student-athletes. An expectation of ethical behavior, fairness in competition, access to athletic scholarship, sportsmanship and leadership development. At the core of all of this — character. The seed of the NAIA began in 1937 with the tip-off of a men’s basketball tournament that has become the longest running basketball tournament in the country, celebrating 75 years in 2012. Out of the tournament grew the NAIA, an association of close to 300 member schools and more than 60,000 student-athletes. 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. 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 core values: integrity, respect, responsibility, sportsmanship and servant leadership. Most recently, the association opened the doors to the NAIA Eligibility Center, where prospective student-athletes are evaluated for academic and athletic eligibility. It delivers on a larger promise of integrity by leveling the playing field, guiding student-athlete success, and ensuring fair competition. Providing student-athletes a chance to connect with NAIA schools and coaches helps them make the best decision to prepare them for success in both college and athletics.

champions of character respect • Responsibility • Integrity • Sportsmanship • servant Leadership 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. 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. Additionally, the Student-Athlete Leadership Team assists in evaluation and feedback on the overall student-athlete experience. In 2012-13, Embry-Riddle student-athletes, coaches and staff contributed logged 2,285 hours in community service hours.

Members of Embry-Riddle’s Student-Athlete Leadership Team volunteered at the Children’s Home Society, helping to organize their Christmas toy donations.

At the beginning of the year, teams whose studentathletes have arrived on campus early for preseason workouts, take a few hours off practice to help new Embry-Riddle students move in to on-campus housing.

Embry-Riddle’s athletic programs are involved in local elmentary school reading programs.

For the last three years, Embry-Riddle has partnered with the Food Brings Hope Initiative, bringing elementary and middle school children on to campus for special programing, including facility tours, basketball games and pizza.

In 2012, Embry-Riddle women’s soccer hosted the second annual Habitat for Humanity Invitational. The teams in the two-day tournament take a one-day break from competition to volunteer at a local Habitat for Humanity project.

In January 2013, ERAU Athletics partnered with the Embry-Riddle chapter of Phi Gamma Delta for a fundraising run from Daytona Beach to West Palm Beach. Proceeds went to to a fund for former ERAU women’s soccer play Kate Schwikert who is currently battling cancer.
