NITTANY LION SOFTBALL PARK & BEARD FIELD
A facility years in the making, stateof-the-art and second to none — that is what Nittany Lion Softball Park and Beard Field provides to the Penn State athletic community. With numerous donations and the Penn State’s Board of Trustees’ approval, construction of the $10.2 million complex was completed in time for the 2011 season. The facility houses the Nittany Lion softball team and allows the program to compete with the best in the country.
2022
The complex features 1,084 permanent seats with fantastic sight lines, accessible seating, concession stands, permanent bathrooms and merchandise areas for fans. On the softball side of things, the field with irrigation, dugouts, batting cages and tunnels, bullpens, scoreboard and a state-of-the-art lighting system make Nittany Lion Softball Park a collegiate softball gem. The complex consolidates the team’s resources into one area with new training rooms, media center, video room, study space, locker rooms and coaches’ offices all housed at the softball park. A new press area behind home plate was constructed, which further enhanced the amenities of the stadium. Key benefactors of the project allowed Nittany Lion Softball Park to take shape and get off the ground. The playing field was named Beard Field in recognition of a generous donation from Lee and William Beard in October 2009. The Penn State locker room was be named the Fran Vanden Locker Room, recognizing a gift from George and Frances Vanden. Another major donation came from the James M. and Margaret V. Stine Foundation to name both the Softball Office Complex and Media Center in honor of the Stine Family. Art and Paige Nagle also contributed to the project and one of the assistant coaches’ offices dons their names. Penn State’s first game in its new home was March 26, 2011, a thrilling 8-5 victory over Wisconsin. Plenty of firsts were delivered that afternoon and none more memorable than Lisa Akamine’s inside-the-park home run as Penn State overcame a three-run deficit to win the inaugural game. For the season, Penn State boasted an 11-8-1 record on Beard Field in its first campaign. It was the first winning season at home since 2007 for the Nittany Lions, which coincided with PSU’s last trip to the NCAA Tournament before 2011.

SOFTBALL
The stadium paid dividends immediately for the Nittany Lion program as Penn State hosted the 2011 NCAA Regionals. The event marked the first time PSU hosted NCAA softball in 28 years as Oregon, Fordham and Albany competed with Penn State for the right to go to the NCAA Super Regionals. In the threeday event, nearly 1,900 fans streamed through the turnstiles. Oregon would eventually be the team that advanced, but not before an exciting 16-inning midnight thriller between Penn State and Fordham. The Nittany Lions prevailed, 5-2, in the second-longest game in PSU history. As if the NCAA event wasn’t exciting enough, Penn State then hosted the PIAA Softball Championships. Four games in one day on a sparkling afternoon in mid-June had nearly 3,000 fans attend. The first game of the day featured local powerhouse PhilipsburgOsceola and Brandywine Heights with a standing room-only crowd of 1,800 spectators. The PIAA is committed to Penn State through the 2020 event as Nittany Lion Softball Park and Happy Valley Hospitality earned rave reviews. Nittany Lion Softball Park is located on the corner of Park Avenue and University Drive, facing the Bryce Jordan Center, Mount Nittany and University Drive to the southeast, providing spectacular views and a gorgeous setting for all who attend softball games.
“Bill and I are both very pleased to be a small part of this very impressive facility. For us, the decision to give to this facility, to this program, was easy because one of our big passions is certainly the students of this university, but in particular the softball program. Our passion to help the softball program is because we’ve watched this program grow. There are some common links to this group [of donors]: Fran and George [Vanden], the Stine Family, Peter and Ann Nagle, Bill and I all have in common a link in believing that this is a program that deserves the typical Penn State, first-class facility to be successful.” Lee Beard, Lead Benefactor

HEAD COACH CLARISA CROWELL
CLARISA CROWELL HEAD COACH SECOND SEASON Virginia Tech ’02 Ohio University ’05
Penn State University Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Sandy Barbour named Clarisa Crowell the eight head coach of the softball program on Aug. 3, 2020. Crowell, the 2019 Mid-American Conference (MAC) Coach of the Year, left Miami (Ohio) as the winningest coach in program history with more than 200 wins. In her first season at the helm in Happy Valley in 2021, Crowell led the Nittany Lions to a win over No. 23 Minnesota, the program’s first win over a ranked opponent since 2017. Penn State also had wins over four other Big Ten programs in a conference-only season due to COVID-19, including three-straight wins and the series victory over Rutgers. It marked the first time Penn State won three consecutive Big Ten games since 2017. Crowell also mentored junior pitcher Bailey Parshall in her ongoing success in the circle, as Parshall recorded two double-digit strikeout games and moved into sixth alltime in the Penn State record books with 396 career strikeouts and third all-time with seven career saves. In the classroom, a program-record 16 student-athletes earned Academic AllBig Ten honors in Crowell’s first season of leadership. Prior to Penn State, Crowell spent eight years as head coach at Miami (Ohio), posting a 209-182 overall record. Under Crowell, the RedHawks made a MAC Tournament appearance every season a tournament was held, winning the tournament title in 2016. Crowell coached 12 student-athletes to first team All-MAC honors, 10 to secondteam honors, nine All-MAC Freshman Team recipients and six National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) All-Region honorees. RedHawks student-athletes also excelled in the classroom with 40 NFCA Scholar-Athletes and 32 Academic All-MAC honorees during Crowell’s tenure. In the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season, Crowell’s RedHawks were the MAC preseason favorites. Junior pitcher Courtney Vierstra was fifth in the nation and first in the conference in strikeouts with 140 in 18 appearances and tied for fifth nationally in strikeouts per seven innings with 12.5.

OVERALL RECORD (NINE SEASONS) 216-216 (.500) PENN STATE RECORD (ONE SEASON) 7-34 (.171)
In 2019, Crowell led Miami to a 35-16 overall record and a 16-4 record in conference play as the RedHawks captured their first regular-season title in program history. Miami posted 10-straight wins against MAC opponents, the longest win streak in conference play in program history, en route to the crown. The team also ranked first in the MAC for pitching and defense with a team ERA of 2.55 and .972 fielding percentage. Crowell was named the 2019 MAC Coach of the Year while seven student-athletes earned All-MAC selections and two were named NFCA All-Region honorees, including Vierstra who had the third-best strikeout-per-seven innings ratio in the country (10.3). Crowell’s 2017 team excelled offensively, ranking second all-time in runs (265), runs per game (5.00), RBI (235), doubles (74) and home runs (47). Crowell led Michaela Schlattman to a NFCA All-Region honor, marking the third-straight season a RedHawk player garnered such award. The RedHawks went 29-24 in 2017, including an impressive 16-2 record at home. In 2016, Crowell led Miami to a 35-23 overall record and 15-7 record in MAC games, just half a game short of the MAC regular-season title. The RedHawks made up for that with a perfect 4-0 record in the MAC Tournament to earn their fourth conference crown and a spot in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012. Miami went on to beat No. 23 Notre Dame, 3-2, in the opening game of the NCAA Regional in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The 2016 RedHawks broke six offensive school records: runs (302), runs per game (5.21), RBI (274), doubles (83), home runs (56) and walks (200). Miami also held a .977 fielding percentage for a school record and seventh-best fielding percentage in the nation.
In Crowell’s third season in 2015 she helped senior outfielder Tiyona Marshall to NFCA All-Mideast Region first-team honors after Marshall set school records in hits (86), runs scored (50) and batting average (.446). Prior to Miami, Crowell spent six seasons as an assistant coach at Oklahoma State where she primarily worked with the pitchers and catchers. In 2010, both of her pitchers earned spots on the All-Big 12 and NFCA All-Midwest Region teams. In 2011, Crowell coached catcher Courtney Totte to an AllBig 12 first-team selection and a third team All-American. She helped lead the Cowgirls back to national prominence as Oklahoma State returned to the College World Series for the first time since 1998. The coaching staff was named Midwest Region Coaching Staff of the Year that season. Crowell also made stops at Syracuse as an assistant coach in 2006 where she had four players earn All-Region recognition and five All-Conference honorees, led by All-American and Big East Player of the Year Alexis Switenko and Tonye McCorkle, the Big East Co-Rookie of the Year.

STEPHANIE SANDERS ASSISTANT COACH SECOND SEASON Michigan State ’15
Stephanie Sanders enters her second season as an assistant coach in 2022 of Penn State softball after being hired by head coach Clarisa Crowell in August 2020. At Penn State, Sanders is responsible for coaching the outfielders and catchers while helping fellow assistant coach Jeff Tylka with hitting. She is also the program’s recruiting coordinator. Sanders came to Happy Valley after spending two seasons (201920) as an assistant at Miami (Ohio) under Crowell. There she was in charging of coaching the outfielders and the hitters. In a shortened 2020 season, Miami was picked to finish first in the regular season and to win the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Tournament. Sanders helped Miami capture its first MAC regular season championship in program history with a 35-16 overall record and 16-4 mark in conference play. The 16 conference wins tied the most MAC wins in Miami history. The RedHawks also had the highest conference win percentage in program history while putting together the longest conference win streak, winning 10-straight MAC games en route to the crown. Prior to Miami, Sanders spent two seasons at Villanova as an assistant coach. She coached the outfielders and assisted with hitting. Sanders helped lead the Wildcats to an overall record of 62-44-2 and a conference record of 23-16 in her two-year stint. She spent one season after graduation as the outfield and hitting coach at Saginaw Valley State, and assisted with camps, clinics, strength and conditioning, and recruiting. As a student-athlete, Sanders was a four-year letterwinner at fellow Big Ten school Michigan State. She appeared in 177 career games, primarily as a utility player, mostly playing outfield. During her senior season in 2015, Sanders posted a .288 batting average, scored 25 runs, totaled 44 hits with 32 RBI and had 16 extrabase hits with seven doubles and nine home runs, all career highs. Her nine home runs tied for the 11th-most in a single season at Michigan State and she ranked second for the Spartans in multihit games (15) and multi-RBI games (8). Sanders, a Lima, Ohio native, earned a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Michigan State in 2015.

ASSISTANT COACH JEFF TYLKA
JEFF TYLKA ASSISTANT COACH SECOND SEASON Knox College ’01 St. Mary’s ’04
Jeff Tylka enters his second season on staff with Penn State softball after being hired by head coach Clarisa Crowell in August 2020. Tylka serves primarily as the hitting coach for the Nittany Lions. In addition to serving as the hitting coach, Tylka handles infield defense for Penn State while assisting with overall team defense. In his first season as an assistant coach in 2021, Tylka guided junior Ally Kurland to hit a career high in home runs on the season. He also mentored freshman Mel Coombs to a standout rookie year, including a 4-for-5 performance at Nebraska on March 28, the first four-hit game for a Nittany Lion player since 2018.
2022
Tylka came to Happy Valley from Elite Baseball/Softball Training in Chicago, Illinois, where he was the director of fastpitch and a hitting instructor. Tylka oversaw numerous hitting classes and training seminars while he also tested and wrote movement programs for all softball players. He worked with softball Olympians, MLB players, Division I athletes and youth players to help develop their swings and help them use the best swing for their movement capabilities. Tylka learned from top instructors Justin Stone, current Director of Hitting for the Chicago Cubs, and Travis Kerber. Prior to working at Elite, Tylka was the head softball coach at Loyola University in Chicago (LUC) from 2015-19. Tylka holds the third-highest win mark among LUC head coaches with 111 wins under his belt. He instituted multiple offensive concepts and changes in his five seasons at the helm that led the Ramblers to the top batting average in program history during the 2019 season (.303). During the 2019 season, the Ramblers also established singleseason team records for runs (239), hits (403) and RBI (214) while reaching the 25-win benchmark for the second time in the last three seasons. Tylka guided Allyson Ivey to Loyola single-season records for RBI (54) and batting average (.460, 63-for-137) while the batting average was also a Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) record. Ivey earned First Team All-MVC honors and First Team NFCA All-Midwest Region accolades, to be only Loyola’s second-ever first team all-district winner. Additionally, Shannon McGee and Jessica Shields earned second team and third team NFCA All-Midwest honors, respectively, to create a school record amount of all-region players. In 2018, Tylka coached the Ramblers to 23 victories, including a 8-4 win at Notre Dame, the program’s first decision over a Power 5 conference opponent since 2016. He helped McGee to first team All-MVC accolades as she batted a team-best .372 while only striking out seven times all season. In 2017, Tylka steered his squad to its most successful season in four years, earning a berth in the conference tournament for the first time since 2014. The young Ramblers team, one of the youngest in the nation, won 27 games, the program’s most since

SOFTBALL
2013, including a blazing 14-0 start, the best in program history and a program record for most consecutive victories. The 2016 LUC team improved in the win column and hit .275 as a team. Tylka mentored then-junior Erica Nagel to a Loyola and MVC record by hitting .453 with 72 hits. Nagel closed her career with 169 career hits for sixth all-time in the school record books. Tylka coached then-freshman Brooke Wyderski to lead the team in three triple-crown categories. She set Loyola freshman records in home runs (12) and RBI (37) while hitting at a .302 clip. Ashley Rogers also became the first LUC student-athlete to earn an Abraham Lincoln Civic Engagement Award, presented to one senior from each of the state’s four-year, degree-granting colleges and universities for excellence in curricular and extracurricular activities. Before being named the softball skipper, Tylka spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Loyola, primarily working with the hitters. The Ramblers had 11 players earn all-conference honors during his tenure and the offense set a school record with 44 home runs in 2013. In 2014, the Ramblers concluded their first season in the MVC and advanced to the title game of the conference championship. Tylka coached the offensive to single-season school records with 193 RBI and 67 doubles. Four Loyola players recorded All-Horizon League honors in 2013. Then-senior Brooke Andersen became the first player in school history to earn first team all-conference accolades for fourstraight years as Tylka mentored the lefty swinger to close out her career as the school’s all-time lead in at-bats (637), hits (215) and runs (116), and her .338 career batting average ranks among the top five. In his first season at Loyola in 2012, Tylka helped the Ramblers to a second-place finish in the Horizon League regular-season standings. The team recorded the second-most conference wins in program history with 15 while making its first appearance in the league championship title game since 2004. The offense batted .274 under Tylka that season and five players earned All-Horizon League selections. Under Tylka’s eight-year tutelage at Loyola, seven players earned All-Region status and 22 were named NFCA Scholar-Athletes for having a GPA of 3.50 or higher, including a program 10 in the 2012-13 academic year. Additionally, 12 student-athletes recorded all-conference honors. Tylka graduated with a degree in economics from Knox College in 2001 and a masters in education from St. Mary’s University in Minnesota in 2004. Tylka was a three-sport athlete at Knox College, playing baseball, football and basketball. Tylka and his wife, Amanda, have two sons, Colton and Jace.

UNIVERSITY PROFILE
Penn State’s historic mission of teaching, research, and public service — launched under the most modest of circumstances more than 150 years ago — now reaches into virtually all parts of Pennsylvania. Consider, for example, that the University now has 24 campuses across the Commonwealth, putting a Penn State education within practical reach of nearly every Pennsylvanian. In fact, about 70 percent of Penn State’s undergraduates are Pennsylvania residents. Penn State is Pennsylvania’s largest nongovernmental employer and has employees and expenditures in every one of its 67 counties. The University generates a total economic impact across the Commonwealth that surpasses $11.6 billion annually. Part of that impact is derived from Penn State’s research program, which brought more than $593 million in federal funds to Pennsylvania last year, and an additional $101 million from private industry. In addition, as part of its Invent Penn State initiative, the University has funded 21 innovation hubs, designed to bolster entrepreneurship and economic development in communities surrounding its campuses across Pennsylvania. Penn State’s outreach and online programs — ranging from 4H to Cooperative Extension, from summer camps to public broadcasting — provide educational and service programs to more than a million Pennsylvania households annually.
2022
The University’s presence throughout Pennsylvania today contrasts sharply with its humble beginnings. Chartered as a college of scientific agriculture, the institution was located in rural Centre County after James Irvin, a partner in the Centre Furnace iron works (remains of which can be seen today along East College Avenue), offered to donate 200 acres of farmland for a campus. Founding President Evan Pugh wanted the fledgling institution to embody a new approach to higher education that blended classical studies with subjects that had practical value. He joined similar visionaries in other states in convincing Congress to pass the Morrill Land-Grant Act in 1862. The act gave individual states tracts of federal land to sell; the proceeds supported colleges that agreed to include engineering, science and the liberal arts as well as agriculture in their course of studies. In 1863, the Pennsylvania legislature designated Penn State the Commonwealth’s sole land grant institution. The lawmakers in effect bestowed on the privately incorporated college a public character. In return for state support, the institution assumed obligations of teaching, research and service that are normally associated with publicly owned landgrant universities in other states. By the 1890s Penn State was making its mark. It ranked among the nation’s 10 largest undergraduate engineering schools, a distinction it still holds. It established one of the nation’s first collegiate agricultural experiment stations, and Professor Whitman Jordan’s pioneering research on using fertilizers for soil enrichment had global impact on crop yields. Penn State in 1871 became one of the first land-grant schools in the Northeast to admit women, graduated its first international student in 1890, and its first African-American student in 1905. In the early 1900s, President Edwin E. Sparks supported a number of efforts to “carry the college to the people,” as he liked to say. Technical institutes were established in various locations statewide for engineering education, beginning with an evening school in Allentown in 1910. In 1912, Penn State helped create a system of county agents in agriculture and home economics. Today, the Penn State World Campus, with its “anywhere, anytime” learning through the Internet, builds on that outreach tradition. But undergraduate education remained foremost. Enrollment surpassed 5,000 students by 1936, including those attending several undergraduate centers that were created for students who, in the depths of the Great Depression, could not afford to leave

their hometowns to get a college education. The centers offered the first year of baccalaureate studies and were the predecessors of today’s statewide system of campuses. Thanks to this innovative approach to higher education, Penn State in the 1930s became Pennsylvania’s largest single source of baccalaureate degrees, a distinction it holds to this day. Following World War II, Penn State underwent unprecedented expansion, first to meet the needs of returning military veterans and later to accommodate the Baby Boom generation. Total enrollment at all Penn State campuses climbed to 40,000 by 1970. The University also emerged on the national scene as a research powerhouse in fields as diverse as dairy science, acoustics, psychology and diesel engineering. The expansion of research went hand in hand with a steady increase in the number of graduate students. The University awarded its first graduate degree — a master’s degree in scientific agriculture — in 1862, and the Graduate School was established in 1922. But overall graduate enrollment remained modest until the 1950s, then swelled steadily. The Graduate School has awarded to date approximately 130,000 master’s, doctoral and other advanced degrees. The University Park campus is Penn State’s administrative and research hub. In addition, there are 19 primarily undergraduate campuses; Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the College of Medicine; the Pennsylvania College of Technology; Penn State Law: Dickinson Law; the Penn State Great Valley School of Graduate Professional Studies; and the Penn State World Campus. To date, Penn State has awarded more than 890,000 degrees, hallmarks of an educational experience second to none in quality. In addition, Penn State alumni — including 364,000 in Pennsylvania alone — have job- and social-networking opportunities that no other college or university in the Commonwealth can surpass.

DR. ERIC J. BARRON PENN STATE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT Florida State University ’72 (B.S.) University of Miami ’76 (M.S.), ’80 (Ph.D.)
Eric J. Barron took the helm of Pennsylvania’s flagship public university on May 12, 2014, arriving from Florida State University, where he had been president for four years. No stranger to Happy Valley, he had previously spent 20 years of his career at Penn State, serving on the faculty of the College of Earth and Mineral Sciences and as dean of the college. Barron has nearly 40 years of leadership experience in academic administration, education, research and public service, and a track record as a talented manager of fiscal policy within large and complex institutions. In recognition of his expertise and leadership in higher education, he was named chairman of the Commission on Economic and Community Engagement (CECE) for the Association of Public Land grant Universities (APLU) in fall 2017. As leader of Penn State, Barron oversees a research enterprise of more than $968 million and 24 campus locations. His responsibilities include oversight of two law schools, the internationally recognized online educational enterprise known as the Penn State World Campus, and a nearly $2 billion health enterprise, including the Penn State College of Medicine, the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, and the Penn State Health network, which extends throughout Central Pennsylvania. Penn State’s current enrollment is approximately 97,000 students, and the University boasts the world’s largest dues-paying alumni association in the world.

During his tenure as president of Penn State, Barron has prioritized access and affordability; diversity and inclusion; student engagement; economic development; job creation and student career success; and technology. Under Barron’s leadership, Penn State has achieved recordsetting results in the University’s fundraising campaign, A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence. Penn State has now raised more than $1 billion of the $2.1 billion goal. Barron’s Invent Penn State initiative supports investment in entrepreneurship and innovation programs, tools and resources that accelerate the movement of great ideas to the marketplace and make a substantial economic development impact in Pennsylvania and beyond. Since its inception in 2015, Invent Penn State has partnered with the University’s campuses across the Commonwealth to open 21 innovation hubs available to the surrounding communities. These hubs have provided resources to more than 2,500 entrepreneurs, engaged more than 7,100 students in entrepreneurial thinking and startups, graduated 224 startup teams from accelerator programs, resourced 208 product development projects, and created more than 145 new jobs.

VP FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS
SANDY BARBOUR VICE PRESIDENT FOR INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS Wake Forest University ’81 (B.A.) Massachusetts ’83 (M.S.), Northwestern ’91 (M.B.A.)
Recognized as one of the nation’s premier Athletic Directors, Sandy Barbour enters her seventh year as the dynamic leader of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program. With student success and comprehensive excellence as a steadfast focus, Barbour has helped the Nittany Lions continue to ascend and thrive as one of the nation’s most successful athletic departments.
Six months into her tenure, Barbour announced a reorganization of ICA that introduced a more vertical structure to encourage communication and collaboration across functional units and sports. Four administrative divisions were formed: student-athlete performance, health and welfare; internal and external relations and operations, administration and business and finance.
Barbour began her passionate and effective leadership of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program in August 2014. President Eric J. Barron named Barbour the Nittany Lions’ ninth Director of Athletics after she served for 10 years as Director of Athletics at the University of California.
In 2015, Penn State Athletics launched a wide-ranging strategic planning process and conducted a series of town hall meetings. Students, faculty and staff, alumni, donors and the public were presented with the initial findings and were presented with an opportunity to provide feedback. The project helped determine strategies and priorities for the formalized 2017-21 strategic plan.
2022
In February 2019, Barbour received a contract extension through August 31, 2023 and assumed the title of Penn State Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics. “Sandy has consistently promoted excellence in intercollegiate athletics — in academics and athletic competitions, and she is widely hailed among the best athletic directors in the nation,” Barron said at the time of her contract extension. “She is a powerful advocate for those who wear the blue and white, and her leadership has help advance our shared vision of what intercollegiate athletics can be. I’m proud of our student-athletes, the coaches and staff, and I’m very pleased that Sandy will be able to lead them to even greater success.” Leader of Premier Athletic Department in Academic, Athletic and Community Engagement One of the nation’s most highly-respected Athletic Directors, Barbour has more than 35 years of varied experiences as a collegiate administrator and coach, with a demonstrated record of championships, academic success, innovation, facility modernization and revenue growth. Barbour directs one of the nation’s most comprehensive and successful athletic programs that boasts an NCAA Graduation Success Rate of 91 percent, while capturing 79 national championships and 114 Big Ten titles all-time. She oversees a broad-based program that supports approximately 800 students in 31 sports (16 men’s/15 women’s) and an Intercollegiate Athletics staff of more than 300 whose daily mission is preparing students for a lifetime of impact. Penn State’s 31 programs are tied for fourth-largest among all 130 FBS institutions. During Barbour’s initial six years of leadership in Happy Valley, Penn State student-athletes have consistently raised the bar and broken or tied school academic records, including the number of Academic AllBig Ten and Big Ten Distinguished Scholar recipients. A total of 159 Nittany Lion students graduated during the 2019 fall and 2020 spring and summer semesters. A combined total of 924 student-athletes have earned their degrees during Barbour’s tenure. The 2019-20 athletic year saw unprecedented times with the cancellation of winter championships and the spring season due to COVID-19. The Nittany Lion women’s soccer team claimed the Big Ten Tournament title in the fall and the men’s hockey team took home the Big Ten regularseason crown to boost Penn State’s total to six NCAA Championships and 31 conference crowns under Barbour’s direction. Barbour served as the co-chair of the medical subcommittee on the Big Ten’s Return to Competition Task Force, which developed stringent medical protocols to ensure the health and safety of student-athletes while returning to sport. Nittany Lions Students are the “Why” for Penn State Athletics Soon after her arrival at Penn State, Barbour began to implement her vision for Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics and creating conditions for success for the department’s “Why” – the more than 800 Nittany Lion student-athletes.

Barbour also oversees a comprehensive facilities master plan, which was announced in March 2017. Penn State partnered with Populous, one of the world’s leading architecture and sport event planning firms, to collaborate on developing a comprehensive facilities master plan to provide a 20-year road map for addressing current and long-term needs for all of the Nittany Lions’ facilities (competition, practice, performance enhancement and training). Less than two months after the facilities master plan was unveiled in 2017, Penn State announced a $3.55 million gift from men’s lacrosse letterman and graduate Ken Panzer and his business partner, Jordan Kaplan, to launch construction on a new lacrosse facility. The project transformed the Penn State Lacrosse Field into one of the top lacrosse venues in the nation when Panzer Stadium opened to rave reviews in 2019. Since the first Lasch Football Building renovation project was announced in January 2015, Barbour has helped raise more than $32 million for the Football Excellence Fund to finance several phased upgrades of the football facilities. Barbour initiated the additional utilization of ICA’s physical assets, resulting in the first NHL pre-season games in Pegula Ice Arena and the initial concert in Beaver Stadium – the Happy Valley Jam, featuring Blake Shelton, in July 2017. Pegula Ice Arena has also hosted three NHL preseason contests, all featuring the Buffalo Sabres, since 2016.

Ten Years Leading Cal Athletics to Consistent Comprehensive Excellence The Director of Athletics at Cal from 2004-14, Barbour guided the Golden Bears through one of the most successful periods in school history as the athletic department became one of the consistently elite programs in the country. Barbour’s 10-year term as AD was the longest for the department since men’s and women’s athletics merged into a single entity in 1992. During her tenure overseeing Cal’s 30-sport program, the Golden Bears won 20 team national championships, 97 individual national titles, finished in the top 10 in the annual Learfield Directors’ Cup standings six times, including a program-best third in 2011, and reached record levels in ticket sales, sponsorships and fundraising. Among Cal’s many team athletic accomplishments under Barbour’s leadership were a 2006 Pac-12 co-championship and seven bowl game invitations in football; the men’s basketball team’s first conference title in 50 years in 2009-10; a first-ever NCAA Final Four berth in women’s basketball in 2013, two trips to the national semifinals in women’s volleyball and six NCAA Championships in men’s and women’s swimming and diving. In 2013-14, Cal secured the largest field naming-rights deal in collegiate sports history at the time, when technology company Kabam signed on to name Kabam Field at California Memorial Stadium. Named one of the “100 Most Influential Women in Business” in the Bay Area according to the San Francisco Business Times, NACDA named Barbour a regional Athletic Director of the Year for 2008-09 and she was a finalist for National AD of the Year at the Sports Business Awards. She also was recognized as the 2006 National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators (NACWAA) Division I-A National Administrator of the Year. Prior to her tenure at Berkeley, Barbour was the deputy director of athletics at Notre Dame, serving as the university’s senior athletic administrator from July 2002 to September 2004. She previously held an associate athletic director position there starting in 2000. In her position at Notre Dame, Barbour oversaw facilities and event operations for the school’s 26-sport program, including football game management and the department’s two golf courses. She was also responsible for developing, maintaining and implementing Notre Dame’s $127 million athletics facilities master plan. In 1996, Barbour was appointed Tulane’s director of athletics at age 36, and during her three years overseeing the program, Green Wave teams won 12 conference championships. In her first year in the position, the school captured four conference titles, a feat never before accomplished in Tulane history. She also hired Tommy Bowden as head football coach during her first year. Bowden proceeded in 1997 to post the Green Wave’s first winning season (7-4) in 16 years, and then directed the school to a 12-0 record, a Conference USA championship and a No. 7 national ranking the following season as the 1998 Liberty Bowl champions. Barbour was recruited to Tulane as an associate athletic director in 1991. Born in Annapolis, Md., Barbour grew up in a military family. Her father was a career aviator in the U.S. Navy, and her family lived in various U.S. locations as well as in Western Europe during her childhood.

She also played two seasons of women’s basketball for the Demon Deacons. Barbour earned advanced degrees at the University of Massachusetts (an M.S. in sports management in 1983) and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management (an MBA in 1991). Barbour’s career in intercollegiate athletics began as a field hockey assistant coach and lacrosse administrative assistant at Massachusetts in 1981. Between master’s programs, Barbour served as assistant field hockey and lacrosse coach at Northwestern from 1982-84. She also held the position of director of recruiting services during that period, before being promoted to assistant athletic director for intercollegiate programs in 1984, a position she held until 1989.
