SEC SanDestin Spring Meeting Booklet by Hunter Crawford

May 31 - June 3

SCHOLARS.CHAMPIONS.LEADERS.

Welcome to the 2016 Southeastern Conference Spring Meetings. This is a week when our Conference comes together to celebrate our past and establish a path for our future. We will recognize outstanding individual accomplishments from the past year, and make decisions that will support our achievements in the years ahead. Between the meetings and celebratory events, we will enjoy a unique camaraderie that may exist nowhere else in college athletics. There is a fierce sense of competition around the fields, courts, mats, pools, tracks, courses and pitches of the SEC – a competitive fire that makes this Conference the most successful in the nation.

Welcome from Commissioner

WELCOME TO SANDESTIN

But when we come together for a gathering like the SEC Spring Meetings, there is also a strong sense of family present. In our meeting rooms we frequently set aside institutional preferences to make decisions anchored in the best interests of the collective whole. Our families gather by the pool and on the beach where kids play and parents share a common pride. From year to year at these Meetings, many of us literally watch families grow up before our very eyes. This dynamic was crystallized for me last year when one of our newest coaches stopped me at our Tuesday evening reception, as rival coaches chatted and laughed, as new faces introduced themselves to long-time attendees, as children ran about our feet. That new coach said to me, “You have something unique there. This doesn’t happen anywhere else.” That is true about so much that we do every day in the Southeastern Conference. The academic accomplishments of our student-athletes and their unique stories, the championships that we win with unparalleled frequency, and the impact that we have on the world around us – it doesn’t happen anywhere else. We produce Scholars, Champions and Leaders in the SEC because we do it together. The decisions made here this week, the relationships that are fostered and the accomplishments that are celebrated all serve to perpetuate a future for the Southeastern Conference that will remain unique and prosperous. Cathy and I hope you, along with all of our guests, have a wonderful and productive week here at the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort and Spa. We look forward to visiting with you.

Greg Sankey Commissioner

PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR

Dr. Isiah Warner

SEC PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR

2016 Southeastern Conference Professor of the Year Louisiana State University Isiah Warner is an LSU Boyd Professor, the Phillip W. West Professor of Analytical and Environmental Chemistry and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Professor. Dr. Warner also serves as LSU’s Vice President for Strategic Initiatives. He received his bachelor’s degree in chemistry from Southern University in 1968, and after working at Battelle Northwest Laboratory in Richland, WA, for five years, he left Battelle to pursue his Ph.D. at the University of Washington, graduating in 1977. Dr. Warner is considered to be one of the world’s experts in analytical applications of fluorescence spectroscopy. He is the corresponding author of the biannual reviews on “Molecular Fluorescence, Phosphorescence, and Chemiluminescence Spectrometry” in Analytical Chemistry. His other research interests include organized media and separation science, and analytical applications of ionic liquids. In 1998, Dr. Warner was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to teach and conduct research in Kenya. Two years after his fellowship, the National Science Foundation (NSF) asked him to co-organize a conference on materials science in Africa, which led to a continentwide materials science network. His service to the international chemistry community also includes chairing or serving on committees for the NSF, the National Research Council and the American Chemical Society (ACS), among others. In addition to his research accomplishments, Dr. Warner pioneered efforts to broaden the participation of underrepresented groups in science, technology, engineering and

SEC PROFESSOR OF THE YEAR

mathematics (STEM) fields. A direct result of his leadership while serving as Chair of the Department of Chemistry from 1994-1997, LSU now ranks first in the nation in the production of African Americans with doctorate degrees in chemistry and in the percentage of female doctoral graduates in chemistry. Dr. Warner founded the LA-STEM Research Scholars Program, a multi-faceted and holistic undergraduate training model designed to promote diversity while increasing access and achievement in STEM disciplines. To date, the program has served more than 200 high-achieving scholars, 44 percent of whom are from underrepresented groups and 53 percent of whom are women. Program participants have received numerous university and national honors, including eight Goldwater scholarships, 13 NSF Graduate Research fellowships, two Fulbright Fellowships and LSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Gates Cambridge Scholar. Dr. Warner is an elected fellow of the ACS, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the Society of Applied Spectroscopy. For his contributions to higher education, he has received the ACS Stanley C. Israel Regional Award for Advancing Diversity in the Chemical Sciences and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers.
