MARK P. BECKER GSU PRESIDENT

S

ince beginning his tenure as Georgia State University’s seventh president in January 2009, President Mark P. Becker has led the institution through a dynamic period of major growth and advancement.

Under his leadership, the university adopted a comprehensive 10-year strategic plan aimed at making Georgia State one of the nation’s premier urban research universities. With a 10 percent increase in graduation rates in the last five years, Georgia State is achieving its vision of becoming a national model for undergraduate education by demonstrating that students of all backgrounds can succeed at high rates. The university has been recognized by the Education Trust for eliminating disparities in graduation rates based on race or ethnicity. Diverse Issues in Higher Education places Georgia State No. 1 in the nation among non-profit institutions in graduating African-American students and in the top 50 universities for graduating Asian-Americans. Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education magazine lists Georgia State as a top 100 university for graduating Hispanics, making the university one of only two non-Florida universities in the Southeast to attain this achievement. During Becker’s tenure Georgia State has set a series of university records for retention and graduation rates, as well as for the retention of the Georgia Lotteryfunded HOPE Scholarship. This progress has been achieved as enrollment has grown from about 28,000 to more than 32,000 students, and the number of applications to the university has steadily risen and now exceeds 13,000. Private scholarship funding has increased significantly, and the university has more than doubled the number of students receiving support in the last two years. Research funding is at an all-time high, increasing nearly 15 percent in the last year alone. Federally sponsored research now accounts for 62 percent of the university’s research portfolio, an important barometer of the university’s research success. This growth has been aided by the Second Century Initiative, a faculty hiring program that has led to the development of new interdisciplinary research centers.

Seeking to position Georgia State students and researchers to thrive in an increasingly complex and global landscape, Becker has worked with faculty leaders to enhance Georgia State’s international profile. The university is working in five countries in which it is focusing its university-wide efforts: Brazil, China, South Africa, South Korea and Turkey. Through its campus development, Georgia State is a major contributor to the revitalization of downtown Atlanta. Building on the work of former President Carl V. Patton, the university has expanded campus housing and dining, research and academic facilities. Georgia State enhanced its research capacity with the opening of the Parker H. “Pete” Petit Science Center in 2009 and is designing and building a second research building on the same site. The university enlarged its instructional capacity with a classroom expansion project completed in 2011. Student housing has almost doubled with the addition of Patton Hall, a Greek townhome complex, and the Piedmont North housing and dining complex. The opening of the $10 million football practice facility enabled Georgia State to introduce its football program in fall 2010. The purchase of 3.5 acres of land on the eastern edge of the campus has made it possible for the university to have its first intramural recreation fields on its downtown campus. The Sun Trust tower complex at 25 Park Place houses major units of the College of Arts and Sciences and the expanded university advising center. The university has a new front door for visitors with the opening last year of Centennial Hall at 100 Auburn Ave. The building houses Georgia State’s Welcome Center, university administration and the recently established Honors College. A new Law School building is nearing completion, and the university has acquired 55 Park Place, a high-rise building that will be the new home of the Robinson College of Business and the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.

Assuring that Georgia State is appropriately partnered in Atlanta and beyond, Becker serves on multiple civic, community and professional boards. Becker and his wife, Laura Voisinet, are significant contributors to the university. They are focusing their philanthropy primarily on scholarships for students but also support the university’s Library, the Rialto Center for the Arts and Georgia State’s Women’s Philanthropy Initiative. Prior to his appointment as president of Georgia State, Becker was executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at the University of South Carolina. Before assuming that role, Becker spent three years at the University of Minnesota as a biostatistics professor, dean of the School of Public Health and assistant vice president of Public Health, Preparedness and Emergency Response. From 1989 to 2000, Becker was a professor and associate dean for academic affairs at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. He also has held academic appointments at the University of Washington, the University of Florida and Cornell University. Becker earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Towson State University in 1980, and his doctor’s degree in statistics from the Pennsylvania State University in 1985. He is a Fellow of the American Statistical Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Towson State and Penn State have recognized him with distinguished alumnus awards. Becker grew up in Havre de Grace, Md., near Baltimore. He and his wife have two adult children, Matthew and Julia.

Charlie Cobb D I R E C TO R O F AT H L E T I C S

G

eorgia State University President Mark Becker ushered in a new era of Panther Athletics when he named veteran athletic administrator and “proven program builder” Charlie Cobb as Director of Athletics on Aug. 15,

2014.

At Cobb’s introductory press conference, Becker noted the need for Georgia State to find a proven winner, someone who has built a winning program “the right way.” Becker said Cobb even took it a step further. “In fact, we got a bonus in this package. Not only is he a proven builder and proven winner with a track record of doing it in the right way, but he also has tremendous Atlanta roots,” Becker said. “He knows this community well, has worked in this city, knows what we are doing and the potential we have in this program.” After spending nine years as Director of Athletics at Appalachian State, Cobb is making a return to Atlanta. Previously he worked for six years honing his business acumen with the Atlanta Sports Council, the ChickFil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome, before his first venture into college athletics as an administrator at his alma mater NC State. Cobb came to the Panthers at the perfect time with several significant athletic building projects on the horizon. High among the Panthers’

facility priorities are: a weight room at the football practice facility; a new basketball and volleyball practice facility; a dedicated academic performance center; and the University’s concept for redeveloping Turner Field into a mixed-use area inclusive of sporting venues. Cobb has led successful programs by focusing on four pillars of his leadership philosophy: 1) 2) 3) 4)

relationships matter embrace the idea of achieving success be innovative create traditions

Those ideals helped him build and maintain a high-performing program at App State. The Mountaineers: won three consecutive Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) national championships, the first three-peat in the history. They also brought home eight consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships (top men’s sports program in the Southern Conference) and four Germann Cup championships (top

women’s program). Together, they earned the men’s and women’s awards in the same academic year four times. At App State, Cobb helped create $50 million in facilities improvements as the Mountaineers’ fundraising efforts that reached all-time highs, including surpassing the $3 million mark. The jewel of the construction projects was the seven-story Appalachian Athletics Center and the campaign also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball, softball and soccer, as well as a new indoor practice facility. The 46-year-old Cobb was a fouryear letterwinner as a football player at NC State. He graduated with honors with a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1990 and earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio in 1992. As a senior center, he was named to the All-ACC second team and was an All-ACC academic selection. Cobb and his wife, Lindsay, have a son and daughter, 16-year-old Harrison and 13-year-old Branan. Lindsay Cobb was an All-ACC goalkeeper for the NC State women’s soccer team from 1988-90.

“The Georgia State athletic program as a whole is very ambitious and definitely something I want to be a part of. I’m looking forward to building a program that the University and the city of Atlanta will be proud of. I feel that the connection with the great tennis community in Atlanta will be vital to our success.

Brett Ross

“There is no reason why we can’t compete with the top programs regionally and nationally,” Ross continued. “The draw of a thriving international city, the academic reputation of this university and our proximity to many high-level professional tennis tournaments will go a long way in attracting very talented players to Georgia State.”

Head Coach First Year Wake Forest, 2006

Brett Ross, formerly an assistant coach at Wake Forest, was named the head coach of the Georgia State men’s tennis program in June of 2014. An Atlanta native, Ross demonstrated strong coaching and recruiting skills in his five-year stint at Wake Forest, helping the Demon Deacons to four NCAA team tournament berths, including top-30 national rankings the last two years. In 2013, Ross helped lead a stunning turnaround as a Demon Deacon squad that had finished in 10th place in the Atlantic Coast Conference the previous year improved to third place in one of the nation’s toughest conferences and earned a final No. 19 ranking by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. Wake Forest followed that success with another NCAA appearance in 2014, including a firstround victory in the NCAA regional, and a No. 30 ranking.

Ross was a standout player at Wake Forest, where he lettered from 2003-06 and ranked among the school’s top 10 for career singles victories (97), career doubles victories (88), season doubles victories (23) and season singles victories (30). After graduation, he played on the ITF Pro Circuit for two years. He qualified for several Challenger events and cracked the top 500 in the doubles rankings and top 600 in singles. Ross, who attended Centennial High School in the Atlanta suburb of Roswell, began his coaching career at the Tennis Academy of the South in Atlanta, working with high-level juniors.

Among the top players Ross helped recruit and coach at Wake Forest were: Steven Forman, the program’s first three-time All-American and an NCAA quarterfinalist in doubles with partner Iain Atkinson; Adam Lee, who set the school record with 38 singles victories in 2013; and Romain Bogaerts, who earned a top-30 individual ranking and an NCAA singles berth in 2014. In the summer of 2013, Ross was selected as one of two coaches for the 2013 USTA Collegiate Team, an elite training program for the nation’s top collegians. In this role, Ross worked with six top college players who competed in USTA Pro Circuit events around the nation. Ross was originally hired at Wake Forest, his alma mater, in 2009 and worked under head coaches Jeff Zin (2009-11) and Tony Bresky (2011-2014). “I can’t say how excited I am to get started here at Georgia State,” Ross said. “The chance to build a high-level program in my hometown at an up-and-coming university like Georgia State is a dream come true.
