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 2014.
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,
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.

Coaching Staff
During her four-year playing career at Georgia Tech, her team won three ACC championships and reached a teamhigh national ranking of No. 3 in 2006. Shosho earned All-America honors in the same year, becoming just the second player in school history to do so. She was also named to the All-ACC Team twice and to the ACC Honor Roll four times. Shosho helped Georgia Tech to top-10 finishes and NCAA Round of 16 appearances in each of her last two seasons in Atlanta.
Lyndsay Shosho Assistant Coach Georgia Tech, 2006 First Year
Shosho concluded her career as the Georgia Tech all-time leader in doubles wins, with 83 in her career. She reached a career-high national college ranking of No. 43 in singles in 2004 and ninth in doubles in 2006. She participated in the NCAA tournaments in 2004 and 2006, falling in the doubles quarterfinals to the eventual national champions.
Lyndsay Shosho arrived at Georgia State in the fall of 2014 and serves as the women’s tennis assistant coach after spending the 2014 season volunteering with the Buffalo women’s tennis team as well as working full time at Miller Tennis Center in Buffalo, N.Y.
Shosho is a native of East Amherst, N.Y.
“This is a great addition to our program,” head coach Jason Marshall said. “Lyndsay has experience on the management side and she also has several years of developing players which is very important. The fact that she played here in Atlanta is something else that she brings to the table. Lyndsay will be a huge asset at Georgia State.” While working with Buffalo, the Bulls upset the eventual MAC champion Miami (Ohio). Prior to her time in Buffalo, Shosho spent three years in Singapore where she helped build and start a tennis academy. She worked with players of all ages and helped train them through drills and practice routines. From 2007-09, Shosho was the assistant coach at Kentucky. After a successful 2009 season, she was promoted to assistant head coach. She helped lead the team to two top-25 finishes while upsetting seven top-25 teams and guided the program to its 12th consecutive NCAA tournament berth. Additionally, she played a pivotal role in the development of two nationally-ranked doubles teams. Carolina Escamilla and Caroline Lilley advanced to the Round of 16 in 2009 and were ranked as high as No. 26 in the ITA rankings. In the same season, Escamilla joined teammate Christine Johnston as the No. 16 team. After graduating from Georgia Tech in 2006, Shosho began coaching at Hawaii where she helped to rebuild and restructure the program.
