ON THE COVER Pitt celebrates its 2011 Big East regular season championship following a Senior Day win over Villanova, Pitt’s sixth conference title in the last 10 years.
One of the nation’s best shooters, most prolific scorers and clutch players, Ashton Gibbs enters his senior season at Pitt. The only All-Big East First Team returnee from the 2010-11 season, Gibbs has already scored 1,207 points, surpassed the 20-point mark 23 times in his career and led Pitt in scoring in each of the last two seasons. A heady combination guard, proven winner and competitor, he has the opportunity to rewrite Pitt records for 3-point shooting, free throw shooting and scoring. Gibbs spent the past summer in China representing the USA Basketball Team at the World University Games where he led the Americans in both assists and minutes played and averaged 11.6 points per game. An All-America and Academic All-America candidate, Gibbs will be counted upon to provide leadership, scoring and clutch play for Pitt in 2011-12.
An athletic, hard-nosed and fierce competitor, Nasir Robinson returns for his senior season. Undersized at 6-feet-5, Robinson is a passionate player who brings unlimited energy to the floor and provides important intangibles for the Panthers including stellar defense, rebounding ability, quickness and scoring. He excels at passing, slashing to the basket on offense and is explosive around the rim. Robinson has played in 94 career games with 55 starts. Last year, he averaged 9.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and ranked second among Big East leaders in field goal percentage (54.8). Look for Robinson to again make a significant impact during his senior season.

Expectations have not changed for Pitt Basketball as fan excitement is once again at an all-time high. Pitt enters its 2011-12 season ranked among everyone’s top-25. The Panthers are once again considered among the favorites to challenge for the Big East title. Considering that Pitt has led the league in conference titles won (6), overall winning percentage (.794, 273-71) and Big East winning percentage (.738, 124-44) over the last 10 seasons and the fact that the Panthers are coming off a 28-6 overall season, their second Big East regular season title in eight years under head coach Jamie Dixon and a No. 1 seed upon entering the NCAA Tournament for the second time in school history in 2010-11, those fan expectations are expected. Despite losing three senior starters in Gilbert Brown, Gary McGhee and Brad Wanamaker comprising 41.4 percent of its scoring and 44.7 percent of its rebounding from last year’s squad, Dixon returns two senior starters, seven experienced letterwinners, seven of its top-10 in minutes played, 58.6 percent of its scoring and 55.3 percent of its rebounding from last year’s team. In addition, the Panthers add four talented freshmen and two players who earned medical redshirts last year.
Here is a position-by-position look at the 2011-12 Pitt Panthers:
FORWARDS Depth will be the key for Pitt's frontcourt in 2011-12. Despite losing small forward Gilbert Brown, Pitt’s third leading scorer from a year ago and a 1,000-point career scorer, the Panthers return four lettermen at both forward positions. Leading the pack is the team’s topreturning rebounder in senior Nasir Robinson. An undersized power forward at 6-5, Robinson’s 54.8 field goal percentage ranked second in the Big East last year. Robinson, who started 55 games over his first three seasons, has proved to be a force around the basket and rugged defender. A premier zone-buster on offense who creates matchup problems, Robinson makes up for his lack of size with quickness and agility. Look for Robinson to improve upon his 9.4 ppg. and 4.9 rpg. averages from a season ago. Redshirt sophomore Talib Zanna made 13 starts and saw action in 27 games last year before suffering a broken right thumb, an injury that sidelined him for the season’s final seven games. Athletically gifted for his
PITT’S PRESEASON STORYLINES Pitt begins its quest for an 11th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and 11th straight season with 20 or more wins. Pitt returns two starters, seven of its top-10 scorers, seven of its top-10 in minutes played, 58.6 percent of its scoring and 55.3 percent of its rebounding from a team that finished 28-6 overall, won the Big East regular season title outright, advanced to its 10th straight NCAA TTournament and earned a No. 1 seed upon entering the tourney. Jamie Dixon enters his ninth season as Pitt’s head coach with a 216-60 overall record. The 216 victories set an NCAA Division I all-time record for most wins after the first eight seasons as a head coach. Dixon also became the first coach in school history to guide Pitt to eight straight NCAA Tournaments, eight consecutive 20-win seasons and eight straight 10-plus win years in Big East play. He also became the only NCAA Division I head basketball coach in each of the last six years to guide a program to six consecutive NCAA Tournaments and at least one victory in each of the six tournaments. Once again, Pitt will play a difficult schedule in 2011-12. Combining the last nine seasons, Pitt has ranked No. 3 nationally in combined average RPI. Pitt will also play 16 games against opponents that advanced to postseason play in 2010-11, including 13 contests versus teams advancing to the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Opponents highlighting Pitt’s non-conference slate include Tennessee (Dec. 3) in the Big East/SEC Challenge, Oklahoma State (Dec. 10) in the Madison Square Garden Classic, Duquesne (Nov. 30) in the annual City Game at Consol Energy Center and a visit to the renowned Palestra for a Thanksgiving weekend game against Penn (Nov. 25). For the second time in program history, Pitt will host ESPN College GameDayy prior to its contest against Louisville (Jan. 21). Pitt has appeared on ESPN College GameDayy four previous times since the show began in 2005.
Senior Nasir Robinson returns for his fourth year at Pitt. An undersized power forward at 6-5, Robinson used his quickness and agility to average 9.4 points and 4.9 rebounds per game last season.
size, Zanna’s strong physical presence on the boards and a blossoming offensive game, will put him in position to earn minutes at both power forward and center this season. Zanna’s 14point, 12-rebound double-double against Maryland at Madison Square Garden last November gave Pitt fans a glimpse of his unlimited talent. Redshirt sophomore Lamar Patterson is a smart, steady and savvy distributor who can also hit open jump shots. His perimeter passing ability and court vision makes Patterson a seasoned option at small forward. He saw action in 32 of 34 games in 201011, can play either forward position
and will compete for a starting spot at small forward. Sophomore J.J. Moore is an extremely athletic and experienced wing who appeared in 23 games off the bench last season. A penetrator with a scorer’s mentality, Moore possesses the ability to score either from inside or on the perimeter. At 66, Moore will make a major contribution at both the small forward and shooting guard positions. Pitt also adds Baltimore native and 6-6 freshman Durand Johnson to the frontcourt. Johnson offers a combination of scoring and shooting ability in 2011-12.

UPPER LEFT: Back for his senior season, Ashton Gibbs has the opportunity to set school career records for 3-point field goals made and attempts, 3-point percentage and free throw percentage. ABOVE CENTER: Redshirt sophomore Talib Zanna has fully recovered from a broken right thumb injury. He missed the final seven games of the 2010-11 season due to injury. ABOVE: Redshirt junior Tray Woodall has led the Panthers in assist:turnover ratio in each of the last two seasons. He ranked second among conference leaders in the same category (2.34). LEFT: Junior center/forward Dante Taylor will have the opportunity to play major minutes at center this year. Over his first two seasons, Taylor has averaged 4.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 14.5 minutes per game off the bench.

CENTER
68
Pitt must replace one of its all-time best defensive centers and the school’s sixth all-time leading shot blocker Gary McGhee. The Panthers will look to former McDonald’s All-American and junior Dante Taylor to fill the starting center role. A strong physical rebounder, Taylor has worked diligently in the offseason to improve his offensive low post game. Over his first two seasons at Pitt, he averaged 4.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and blocked 42 shots while playing reserve minutes. Look for Taylor’s numbers to increase significantly as his minutes increase in 2011-12. Freshman Khem Birch, one of two McDonald’s All-American players on Pitt’s roster, will backup Taylor and also compete for playing time at power forward. His exceptional athleticism, leaping ability and 6-9 height will enable Birch to make an instant impact on the defensive end. Birch is a terrific shot blocker who displays impressive mobility for a big man. Freshman Malcom Gilbert will also compete for playing time at center. At 6-11, the athletic and mobile Gilbert has also proven to own an effective defensive game.
GUARDS Because of his offensive playmaking abilities, departed off guard Brad Wanamaker will certainly be missed and his production will be difficult to replace in 2011-12. An all-around player who earned All-Big East Second Team honors along with the Big East Sportsmanship Award, Wanamaker led the Panthers in assists, while also averaging 11.7 points and 5.2 rebounds last season. Pitt returns senior guard Ashton Gibbs, who is already one of the most ABOVE RIGHT-CORNER: Sophomore J.J. Moore showed flashes of his athleticism last year. He saw action in 23 games, averaging 3.7 points per game. ABOVE RIGHT:: Junior Tray Woodall is Pitt’s lone returning true point guard. He ranked second on the team in assists with a 3.4 assists per game average last season. RIGHT:: Nasir Robinson ranked second in the Big East Conference in field goal percentage (.548). He is a steady all-around performer who will make a major impact in 2011-12. FAR RIGHT: The strong and physical Talib Zanna will contribute in the low post for the Panthers. Zanna, who started 13 games last season at power forward, scored 14 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in his most memorable contest against Maryland. He will be counted upon for increased production in 2011-12.
prolific scorers and shooters in school history. Gibbs enters his senior season ranked among Pitt career leaders in scoring (23rd, 1,207 points), 3-point field goals made (4th, 216), 3-point field goal percentage (2nd, 44.1) and free throw percentage (2nd, 87.9). A First Team All-Big East selection last year, Gibbs led the Panthers in scoring (16.8 ppg.), set the school’s season record for 3-point field goals made (102), scored 20 or more points in 12 contests and reached double figures in 26 of 31 games. Gibbs also ranked third among NCAA Division I leaders in 3-point field goal pct. (49.0), fifth in 3point field goal per game (3.3) and 18th in free throw pct. (88.9). Look for Gibbs to log major minutes at both guard positions in 2011-12. Redshirt junior Tray Woodall also returns as a key contributor at point

guard. He is the team’s top-returning distributor after leading Pitt and ranking second in the Big East with a 2.34 assist:turnover ratio last season. Woodall also has displayed a knack for hitting clutch 3-point shots late in contests. Look for Woodall to emerge as a leader in the Panthers’ backcourt in 2011-12. Redshirt freshman Cameron Wright returns to the squad and will compete for playing time at shooting guard. A player who fits Pitt’s system, Wright blends athleticism, competitiveness, quickness and scoring ability. This summer, Wright earned a tryout for the USA Basketball Under-19 Team this summer. Freshman Isaiah Epps is a solid ball-handler and capable outside shooter. The lefthanded guard, who redshirted the 2010-11 season, will compete for minutes at point guard this season. Freshman John Johnson is a playmaking combo-guard from Philadelphia. Johnson can create his own shot, distribute to teammates and finish in traffic at the rim. He will challenge for playing time at both guard positions in 2011-12. A fan favorite, senior walk-on Nick Rivers will also provide depth at both guard positions.
ABOVE LEFT: Redshirt sophomore Lamar Patterson will be counted upon for major minutes at the small forward position. ABOVE RIGHT:: Cameron Wright redshirted last season. He will see action at the off guard position in 2011-12. ABOVE : Talib Zanna, Lamar Patterson, Isaiah Epps, Nasir Robinson and Dante Taylor share a moment on the bench last year. All five will be counted upon to make significant contributions this year.
SCHEDULE Once again, Pitt will face a challenging schedule. Overall, Pitt will play 16 contests against teams that advanced to postseason play in 201011 and 13 games against schools which advanced to the 2011 NCAA Tournament. Fifteen contests have been slated for national television. Highlighting Pitt’s 13-game nonconference schedule is a Big East/SEC Challenge game at Tennessee (Dec. 3) and a contest at Madison Square Garden against Oklahoma State (Dec. 10). Pitt and Duquesne will meet in the annual City Game on Nov. 30 at Consol Energy Center.

He helped turn destitute programs at Pitt, Hawaii and Northern Arizona into winners and has experienced a high level of accomplishment at several different levels. Facing a major rebuilding project, he joined the Pitt staff in 1999 as associate head coach and recruiting coordinator. In four short years, he helped turn the Pitt basketball program into a consistent national power. In 2000-01, the Panthers surged through the conference tournament, earning a surprising Big East Championship title game berth while winning five of their last seven contests. It was that year in Madison Square Garden that the college basketball world first took notice of the emerging Pitt program as the Panthers upset nationally ranked Syracuse, Notre Dame and a surging Miami team to earn the school’s first-ever championship game berth. That strong finish concluded with a National Invitation Tournament berth, the school’s first postseason appearance in four years. The 2001-02 Pitt team built upon that momentum as it finished 29-6 and surpassed the school record of 25 victories set in 1973-74. Pitt won the Big East West championship, the school’s first league title of any kind since the 1987-88 campaign, and made its first NCAA Tournament appearance in nine seasons (199293). The squad also became the first Pitt team to advance to an NCAA Sweet Sixteen since 1973-74 with two NCAA tournament wins over Central Connecticut State and California. With all five starters and nine letterwinners back, the 2002-03 Pitt squad captured the school’s firstever Big East Tournament champi-

Northern Arizona led the nation for three consecutive seasons (199799) in 3-point field goal percentage and ranked among the nation’s top two schools in overall field goal percentage during that span. In addition, Northern Arizona won 20plus games in three consecutive seasons and advanced to postseason play two times, including the 1997 NIT and the school’s first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 1998. The 1998 Lumberjack squad was one of two teams to reach the NCAA Tournament and carry a team grade point average of 3.0 or better. Howland and Dixon arrived at Northern Arizona for the 1994-95 season. After suffering through back-to-back 9-17 and 7-19 seasons, the staff guided Northern Arizona to the 10th all-time best one-year turnaround in NCAA Division I basketball history, improving the Lumberjacks to a 217 record in 1996-97. Dixon completed his first stint as an assistant coach at the University of Hawaii from 1992-94 under head coach Riley Wallace. In 1993-94, he helped lead the Rainbows to their first-ever WAC championship and first NCAA Tournament appearance in nearly 30 years. Dixon was also instrumental in developing the Rainbows’ perimeter players, including former Phoenix Suns guard and Buffalo, N.Y. native Trevor Ruffin. In his second stint at Hawaii (1998-99), he worked with the perimeter players including Denver Nugget Predrag Savovic and concentrated on recruiting both nationally and abroad. At UC-Santa Barbara, Dixon helped lead the Gauchos to an NIT appearance in 1992. Dixon began his coaching career in 1989 as the head coach at TeAute College in New Zealand before serving as an assistant coach from 1989-91 at Los Angeles Valley Junior College where he helped Head Coach Jim Stephens lead the school to a Western States Conference Championship. A North Hollywood, Calif. native, Dixon attended Notre Dame High School in Sherman Oaks, Calif., where he earned All-Del Rey League and All-California Interscholastic Federation honors. Dixon enjoyed a successful four-year career at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, Texas where he played for Jim Killingsworth and led the Horned Frogs to two Southwest Conference titles both as a junior and senior.

Through the years, he has developed into an outstanding basketball coach. He has been a terrific role model for our players and was instrumental in turning our program around. In addition, he has always remained loyal to Pitt.” Following his Pitt career, Knight played two seasons with the NBDL’s Asheville Altitude.

THE STORYLINE
2010-11
One of the nation’s most underrated players, Nasir Robinson is a hard-nosed and aggressive competitor who can play multiple positions. A passionate player who brings outstanding energy, Robinson has spent the last two seasons as Pitt’s starter at power forward even though he is undersized at 6-feet-5 inches tall. He provides a variety of intangibles to the Panthers: stellar defense, rebounding ability and scoring as evidenced by his 26-point, 11-rebound performance vs. Louisville in 2010 and a 21-point game vs. Syracuse in 2011. He is a strong, hardworking and fearless player who excels at passing, slashing to the hoop and scoring around the basket. A workhorse and natural floor leader who attacks the basket, the relentless and versatile Robinson can handle the ball, is explosive off the dribble, powerful off the glass and is a rebounding machine. Because of those attributes, Robinson is able to attack zones in the low post. He also rebounds far better than his size indicates. Look for Robinson to again make a significant impact on the Panthers’ 2011-12 season.

THE STORYLINE

Talib Zanna (pronounced Ta-leeb Zah-nah) begins his third season at Pitt after seeing action in 27 games with 13 starts before a broken right thumb injury sidelined him for the season’s final seven contests. Most fans remember the Maryland game when he recorded his first double-double in an inspiring 14-point, 12-rebound performance. A power forward, Zanna is a strong, physical athlete who combines skill and athleticism to create matchup problems with the opposition. He possesses a solid midrange jumper, unique and rare post-up skills and is capable of playing with his back to the basket as well as blocking shots on the defensive end. Zanna loves to attack off the dribble from the outside and is an aggressive and physical rebounder. Over the course of his career, he has done a terrific job of maturing his game from primarily being a defensive player and rebounder to developing a flowing offensive game where he can handle the ball on the break and pull-up to shoot jumpers. Zanna, who earned a medical redshirt during his first season on campus, will have the opportunity to become a major contributor for Pitt in 2011-12.

J.J. Moore returns to the Panthers for his second year after he saw action in 23 games, primarily at small forward. An aggressive, athletic wing with an impressive offensive game, Moore excels at attacking the rim, is a versatile scorer and stellar on-ball defender. An outstanding athlete with a scorer’s mentality, he is an explosive leaper and streaky shooter with improving range. A hidden talent out of Long Island, Moore’s stock soared following his junior year in high school as his skill set improved to the point that it matched his explosiveness.

THE STORYLINE
HIGH SCHOOL
John Johnson is a combination guard who is a streaky long-range shooter. He has great burst off the dribble, quickness and playmaking ability that makes him a good fit for Pitt. At the end of the game, he wants the ball. Offensively, Johnson can get to the basket and finish and has an effective jumper with range. He’s also a good defender, knows how to win and his heart has proved to be his biggest asset. When he steps on the floor, he’s going to bring it at 150 percent.

Five of the top players in school history are depicted here including Charles Smith, Don Hennon, Billy Knight, Jerome Lane and Brandin Knight. Smith, Hennon, Billy Knight and Brandin Knight are the four Pitt players to have their jerseys retired. All four have found success beyond basketball as Hennon became a medical doctor, Billy Knight served as General Manager for the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks (2003-08), Brandin Knight currently serves as an assistant coach with the Pitt Basketball program and Smith, following a productive NBA career, is a successful businessman and chairman of the Charles D. Smith Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing a positive alternative for today’s youth. An NBA veteran, Lane is shown here throwing down his backboard shattering dunk against Providence on Jan. 25, 1988. “Send it in Jerome!” proclaimed ESPN broadcaster Bill Raftery minutes after Lane’s thunderous dunk prompted a 30-minute delay in the game. Pitt went on to claim a 90-56 victory, then went on to capture the 1987-88 Big East regular season title. The game is forever labeled as the “Night the House Came Down.”

Februaryy 15,, 1964 Brian Generalovich scores on a layup in the closing seconds for a 69-67 home win over Syracuse. Februaryy 15,, 1975 Keith Starr hits a layup in the final two seconds to defeat Virginia 71-70.

December 13,, 1975 Pitt stretches its Fitzgerald Field House win streak to 27 games when Tom Richards threw in a 45-foot shot at the buzzer to defeat Ohio 72-71.

THE UNIVERSITY
CHANCELLOR MARK A. NORDENBERG Under Chancellor Nordenberg’s leadership, the University has achieved new levels of quality and impact on virtually every front.
196
The past academic year was Mark Nordenberg’s 16th year of service as Chancellor of the University of Pittsburgh. Under Chancellor Nordenberg’s leadership, the University has achieved new levels of quality and impact on virtually every front. Undergraduate applications have increased dramatically, and the academic credentials of enrolled undergraduates have soared. Pitt currently ranks fifth nationally in terms of grants competitively awarded to faculty members by the National Institutes of Health. Pitt now attracts nearly $800 million annually in support for research projects. Using standard national conventions, that $800 million in research spending supports, directly and indirectly, more than 28,000 local jobs. Over the course of his years in office, Chancellor Nordenberg has received many forms of professional recognition for his own accomplishments. Among other honors, he has been named Pittsburgh’s Person of the Year by both Vector’s Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh magazine. Even more recently, he was named a History Maker by the Senator John Heinz History Center, was awarded the Homer S. Brown Law Association’s Spirit Award, received the Presidential Leadership Award from six national foundations and professional organizations for his efforts to promote a vibrant intellectual and social campus climate that de-emphasizes alcohol, and was honored by the Community College of Allegheny County as a 2011 Legend in Leadership. To celebrate the remarkable progress achieved during his first decade as Chancellor, University trustees, alumni leaders and special friends contributed $2.5 million to endow a faculty chair in his name. At the time of that announcement, the late Chief Justice Ralph J. Cappy, then the Chair of the University’s Board of Trustees, stated: “This endowed chair indicates the extraordinary esteem in which we hold Mark Nordenberg, not only as an individual and a leader who has brought the University to an unprecedented level of success and achievement but also as a true academic at heart. And for a person

who is a true academic, the highest honor one can bestow is to endow a faculty chair in his or her name in perpetuity.” Chancellor Nordenberg joined the faculty of Pitt’s School of Law in 1977 and quickly built a reputation as an outstanding teacher. He was the initial recipient of the Excellence in Teaching Award now presented annually by the School’s graduating class. He also was one of the first faculty members to receive the Chancellor’s Distinguished Teaching Award, recognizing teaching excellence university-wide. His area of academic specialty is civil litigation, and he has served as a member of both the U.S. Supreme Court’s Advisory Committee on Civil Rules and the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s Civil Procedural Rules Committee. Earlier in his career, Chancellor Nordenberg served as Dean of the School of Law and Interim Provost of the University. In 1994, he was elevated to the special faculty rank of Distinguished Service Professor. In 1995, he was elected Interim Chancellor by the University’s Board of Trustees, and in 1996, following a national search, he was elected Chancellor. Chancellor Nordenberg has long been an active contributor to the broader community, leading efforts focused on such key issues as the proposed consolidation of city and

county governments, the challenges facing the state’s urban schools, the work force development needs of the region, and issues of governance in the city’s public schools. He served as the founding chair or co-chair of such technology-driven economic development initiatives as the Pittsburgh Digital Greenhouse, the Pittsburgh Life Sciences Greenhouse, the Robotics Foundry, and the Technology Collaborative. He is a past Chair of both the Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities and the Pittsburgh Council on Higher Education. He also is a member of the board and executive committee of the Allegheny Conference on Community Development and a Director of Bank of New York Mellon. Chancellor Nordenberg is a strong supporter of Pitt athletics. He is a past Chair of the Big East Conference and currently serves on its executive committee. He is a past member of the NCAA’s board of directors and its executive committee. He also serves as the Big East representative to the Presidential Oversight Committee of the Bowl Championship Series. Chancellor Nordenberg has long recognized that a vibrant athletic program not only serves as a unifying force within the University but provides a critical link to the broader
community. He also recognizes that success in competition is just one measure of a program’s worth. Pitt student-athletes also are a source of pride because of the way that they represent our University, contribute to the broader community, and achieve academically. During the last year, 160 Pitt student-athletes earned a gradepoint-average between 3.0 and 3.49; 130 earned GPA’s between 3.5 and 3.99; and 25 student-athletes achieved a perfect 4.0 grade-point-average. Born in Duluth, Minnesota, Chancellor Nordenberg first moved to this region as a high school senior, when his father was transferred to Pittsburgh by U. S. Steel. He is an honors graduate of North Allegheny High School, Thiel College and the University of Wisconsin Law School. He has been married for more than 40 years to Nikki Pirillo Nordenberg, who earned her Ph.D. at Pitt. The Nordenbergs have three adult children – Erin, Carl and Michael – each of whom is a graduate of the University’s Falk Laboratory School. Erin also earned a graduate degree from Pitt’s School of Information Sciences. This spring, the Nordenbergs welcomed three grandchildren into the family – Julian, son of Carl and Diya, and Finnian and Leo, twin sons of Erin and Tucker.

The Pederson Family (left to right): Son Mark with his wife Brooke, Tami, daughter Kristin, Steve and daughter Kari.
His initial Pitt tenure, from 19962002, was characterized by a dramatic revitalization of the Panthers’ fortunes, building the foundation for the success the Pitt Athletic Department enjoys today. During his first Pitt tenure, Pederson hired six Big East Conference Coach-of-the-Year honorees (football, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, track and field and volleyball), an unprecedented achievement by a Big East athletic director. In 1999, he charged an unknown coach from Northern Arizona University with the task of resurrecting the Panthers’ struggling men’s basketball program. That coach, Ben Howland, would build Pitt into a Big East power and was named the consensus National Coach of the Year in 2002. Pitt, which had not been to the NCAA Tournament in nine years, advanced to the “Sweet 16” in 2002 after posting a school-record 29 victories. The following season, Pitt would reach No. 2 in the polls, capture its first Big East Tournament championship and again advance to the NCAA regional semifinals. Since that time, Pitt basketball has become one of the nation’s most consistent winners. Pitt basketball coach Jamie Dixon, a three-time National Coach of the Year, recalled how instrumental Pederson was in helping to lure him to Pittsburgh to serve with Howland a decade ago. “Steve was the person who originally convinced me
to come to the University of Pittsburgh back in 1999,” said Dixon, who enters his ninth year as Pitt’s head coach and 13th overall. “Steve is not only a tremendous professional but also a valued friend,” Dixon said. “I rely on him heavily for advice and direction. Our athletic department is incredibly fortunate to have his leadership, passion and vision.” Pitt football also was renewed under Pederson’s watch. Upon his arrival, the Panthers were coming off seven consecutive seasons without a bowl appearance. By the end of his tenure, Pitt earned four bowl berths in six years, including back-to-back postseason wins in 2001 and 2002. One of the stars of that 2002 team was receiver Larry Fitzgerald, who would become a unanimous All-American and now is an All-Pro performer for the Arizona Cardinals. “When I decided to go to Pitt, it was for many reasons – a great school, a great football tradition and great people,” Fitzgerald said. “Steve Pederson was one of those great people who made me feel like Pitt was the place for me.” While Pederson was instrumental in helping to revive Pitt football’s present, he was very attentive to honoring the program’s historic past. One of his first major steps as athletic director was to retire the jerseys of all-time Pitt greats Mike Ditka, Marshall Goldberg and Joe Schmidt. Pederson later initiated the Pitt jersey retirement of Mark May,
the Panthers’ lone Outland Trophy winner. Pitt enjoyed tremendous achievements in attendance under Pederson. In NCAA Division I men’s basketball, Pitt ranked among the nation’s top five schools in attendance increase for two consecutive years (2001-02 and 2002-03). The 2002-03 basketball season – the inaugural campaign in the 12,508-seat Petersen Events Center – was sold out. Capitalizing on the exciting and unanticipated success of the 2001-02 basketball team, Pitt held a highly successful “select your seat”campaign for prospective season-ticket holders that simultaneously achieved customer satisfaction as well as enhanced fundraising. In football, Pederson formed a marketing and ticket pricing plan that resulted in record attendance for the 2003 season. Season tickets were soldout for the ’03 campaign as the Panthers averaged an alltime record 59,197 fans for their home season, surpassing the previous mark of 54,818 set in 1982. Pederson’s tenure has witnessed a major strengthening of Pitt’s athletic infrastructure. With Chancellor Nordenberg, he helped shape the vision of the Petersen Events Center, the state-of-the-art convocation center that dramatically revolutionized Pitt’s campus upon its opening in 2002. The Events Center is widely considered one of the finest college basketball venues in the country and has also been a
major asset for student life, providing outstanding recreational facilities and a fitting venue for graduation ceremonies. Pederson was at the forefront of the football program’s move into the UPMC Sports Performance Complex, which included the forging of a unique relationship between UPMC, a professional sports franchise and college athletic program. He personally oversaw the design and layout of the Panthers’ Duratz Athletic Complex, which houses Pitt’s football offices and training areas, and has been described as the finest facility for a college football program in the country. Pitt football gained a new stateof-the-art home stadium in Heinz Field under Pederson’s watch in 2001.The Panthers gained a prominent presence at the new stadium with their logos on the seating, gates and signage. Pederson additionally initiated the renaming of Martindale Street to “Tony Dorsett Drive” to further enhance Pitt’s identity on the North Shore. During his five years at Nebraska (2002-07), Pederson was also at the forefront of significant facilities construction, including a $51 million expansion to Memorial Stadium. The project resulted in new football facilities as well as new strength, sports medicine and indoor facilities for baseball, softball, soccer and sand volleyball. Additionally, the women’s volleyball, gymnastics and rifle teams received a new office complex. Athletics fundraising doubled over his final four years, going from $9 million annually in 2003 to $16 million his final year. Nebraska achieved at exceptional levels athletically and academically during his tenure. In 2006-07, the Cornhuskers won the national championship in women’s volleyball, while the football team won the 2006 Big 12 North title and advanced to its first New Year’s Day bowl game since 2001. Overall, 15 Nebraska teams earned NCAA invitations. Academically, Nebraska earned a school-record 94% graduation rate, the highest in the Big 12 as Cornhusker studentathletes achieved a combined 3.0 grade-point average during the 2007 spring semester. In addition to his duties as athletic director at Pitt, Pederson serves on the board for the Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation in Pittsburgh. He is also a community leader for the American Heart Association’s Heart Walk. He and his wife Tami have three children: Mark, Kari and Kristin. Mark is married to the former Brooke Gillette.

HISTORY
200
The University began in the Pennsylvania wilderness as the Pittsburgh Academy in 1787, the year the U.S. Constitution was adopted. Thirty-two years later, the Pittsburgh Academy became the Western University of Pennsylvania, and in 1908, the school changed its name to the University of Pittsburgh. Graduate degrees have been conferred since 1836, and the first doctoral program was developed in 1884. A private institution for most of its past, the University of Pittsburgh became staterelated in 1966, establishing a relationship with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that continues to benefit both partners. Today, as an elected member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, Pittsburgh claims its place among the top public research universities in the nation.
ACADEMIC ORGANIZATION As an independent, state-related, coeducational institution, the University of Pittsburgh’s main campus offers a multitude of degree-granting and other
programs housed in 16 undergraduate, graduate, and professional schools. The University system includes the Pittsburgh campus and four regional campuses at Bradford, Greensburg, Johnstown and Titusville. There are approximately 122 academic, research and administrative buildings and residence halls located on the Pittsburgh campus, which covers 132 acres in the culturally rich Oakland neighborhood. At the heart of the campus stands a central landmark-the Cathedral of Learning, a 42-story Gothic tower, which is the tallest school building in the western hemisphere. The Cathedral contains the Nationality Rooms and 26 classrooms, each
