HEAD COACH

Personal: Born April 5, 1953 in Thibodeaux, La. College: Southeastern Louisiana, 1977 (bachelors’s); Louisiana Tech, 1985 (master’s) Coaching Experience: 1979-82, Assistant Coach, Bonnabel HS, Metairie, La. 1982-84, Graduate Assistant, Louisiana Tech 1984-88, Assistant Track Coach and Head Cross Country Coach, Louisiana Tech 1988-present, Head Coach, Louisiana Tech

for more information

The quest for championships begins with the coaching staff, and for over 28 years, Gary Stanley has served on the track and field staff at Louisiana Tech University. This year will mark his 23rd as the head coach for the Bulldog and Lady Techster track and field programs and his 29th at the university overall. He has amassed for himself 17 Coach of the Year titles by his conference peers and has seen 20 conference championships in four different conferences, including 17 conference titles at Louisiana Tech with 15 as head coach.

Now, Stanley has returned the track and field program to championship contenders and defenders and has led his team to the women’s 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Outdoor Championships and the 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010 Indoor Championships, with the men constantly climbing the ladder to the top.

Four different conferences have bestowed the coach of the year honor on Stanley after being named coach of the year previously by the Sun Belt, Southland and American South Conference before the Western Athletic Conference. His long and illustrious career in Ruston began in 1982, when Stanley began his first of two years as a graduate assistant for the track and field program. He began his collegiate coaching career fresh off a Louisiana High School Athletic Association Class 4A state championship at Bonnabel High School in 1980.

Stanley coached John Ratcliffe at Bonnabel High School as the future Tech star set the Louisiana state record in the 3,200 meters of 9:12, a mark that is still standing today. Ratcliffe then ran an astounding 8:53 in the 3,200 meters at a national high school postseason event. Ratcliffe went on to have a stellar career as a Bulldog.

In 1984, Stanley was promoted from graduate assistant to a full-time assistant coach. Also in that year, he was given the reigns as the head coach for the cross country program here at Tech.

Stanley, after being a district champion in the mile and being crowned the city of New Orleans Cross Country Champion while at East Jefferson High School went on to letter one year at Pensacola Junior College and three years at Southeastern Louisiana. His honors include the 1970 New Orleans cross country city champion, 1972 Southern AAU three-mile champion, 1973 Southern AAU one-mile champion, 1975 U.S. Track and Field Federation all-regional cross country and the 1975 LSU Invitational three mile champion.

One of Stanley’s highlights was helping lead SLU to its only conference cross country championship in 1973 while finishing eighth overall in the race. Stanley attributes his success to the guidance of former head coach Jerry Dyes during his six-year assistant position under Dyes.

“Coach Dyes was the greatest coach I’ve ever been around,” said Stanley. “He was so instrumental in my growth as a young assistant.”

After serving six years as a full-time assistant, Stanley was named the head coach at Louisiana Tech in 1988. The past 21 years have seen his program become one of the best and most consistent on the Louisiana Tech campus and throughout the state in track and field.

Prior to winning back-to-back WAC Championships, Tech’s biggest team achievement under Stanley’s guidance came at the national championships in 1999, with the women’s team finishing 17th in the country in 1999 at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Boise, Idaho, ahead of national powerhouses Tennessee, Michigan and Miami.

The women’s team finished 10th at the NCAA Mid-East Regionals in 2004 with 22 points, placing the Lady Techsters second in the state behind LSU and ahead of national elite programs like Wisconsin, Michigan State, Purdue and Ole Miss.

Stanley’s expertise with distance runners has led Tech to qualify runners in every event at nationals from the 800 meters to the 10,000 on the men’s side. LSU is the only other track program in the state to accomplish such a feat.

In addition to running in some of the nation’s most prestigious meets in indoor and outdoor track every year, Stanley has also led the Tech track and field program into one of the nation’s toughest conferences in its sport after Tech jumped from the Sun Belt Conference to the Western Athletic Conference in 2001.

In the past 35 years, the WAC holds an impressive 18 national titles in track and field, meaning Stanley has faced a tough task of making Tech competitive among the nation’s best track and field squads.

After eight seasons in the WAC, Stanley has shown that his Tech program definitely does belong. Stanley has rebuilt the women’s program from the bottom of the league to a perennial powerhouse that needs no introduction while the Bulldogs have emerged from the basement of the league to the top three with hopes of winning it all soon.

JACKSON ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH

for more information

22

Shawn Jackson is in his 16th year as an assistant coach at his alma mater, coaching Tech in jumps, sprints and hurdles. Not only does he coach those events but he has also made a name as an excellent recruiter.

Jackson’s coaching enabled Tiana Davis to advance to the NCAA Championships in the long jump in 2010 while Davis (long jump), Chelsea Hayes (long jump), Brittany Guy (triple jump) and Quatisha Williams (long jump and triple jump) all were ranked in the top 50 in the nation.

The Jackson-guided jumpers, sprinters and hurdlers dominated the WAC Indoor and Outdoor Championships in 2009 with the women’s program claiming both titles and the men’s team recording its best performance in the last few years.

The 2008 season for Jackson and his athletes was another banner year as Jackson coached sprinter Mike Coleman to a 19th place finish in the nation in the 100 while the men’s 4X100 team finished second overall at the Mideast regional’s in Fayetteville, Ark. with a time of 39.66 seconds to qualify to compete in the nationals meet. Jackson’s reward for his hard work, dedication and national qualifying athletes was the 2008 men’s United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches’ Association Assistant Coach of the Year.

The 2007 campaign saw Jackson’s women’s 4x400 team capturing fifth place at the Indoor NCAA Championships while senior Nina Gilbert added another All-American credential with a fifth place finish in the women’s 400.

The outdoor season proved to be an even bigger stage for Jackson’s sprinters as they ended the season at the NCAA Championships with a third place finish in the 4x400 relay with a time of 3:28.90. That mark at the time was the eight fastest time in the world, as well as a school and conference record.

Both Miriam Barnes (400h) and Nina Gilbert (400) earned All-American status in their respective events. The success continued with the men as both Albert Fullwood and Michael Coleman qualified for nationals in the 200 while finishing fourth and fifth in a tough Mideast Region.

In the past two WAC Outdoor Championships, the sprinters have captured the100, 200, 400, 4x100 and 4x400 on both the men and women’s side while the jumpers captured a long jump and triple jump title, as well as two second place finishes in 2007.

His recruiting power has definitely shown as plenty of his sprinting recruits have helped Tech tremendously to women’s outdoor conference titles in 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 and indoor conference championships in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009. For his efforts in 2006, Jackson was named Mideast Region Assistant Coach of the Year as Tech’s nationally-renowned relay teams saw success yet again in both indoor and outdoor.

Jackson was instrumental in Tech’s climb to Sun Belt Conference champions back in the 1990’s and now is a big part of building Tech into one of the top track and field programs in the Western Athletic Conference and in the country.

Jackson’s work can be seen from the recent exploits of his sprinters, hurdlers and jumpers in the Tech record books. In 2004, Jackson’s athletes broke an impressive ten records during the season with several athletes and events earning national recognition. Even more impressive is that the athletes Jackson has coached in the past 13 years own 30 out of a possible 43 school records at Louisiana Tech with 19 of the records coming in the past five years since 2005.

Jackson has also been extremely successful in putting together record setting relay teams as he has coached all but three of the sprint relay teams that own school records at Tech.

Both the men’s and women’s 4X100 and 4X400 relay teams have achieved top 15 rankings over the years while setting school records under Jackson’s direction. In the summer of 2008 runners Miriam Barnes, Nina Gilbert and Latonia Wilson all competed at the United States Olympic Trials after successful campaigns running for Jackson at Tech.

He has also coached current stars Mike Coleman and Albert Fullwood to numerous school records as well as helping Coleman to All-American status in 2007. These are just a few examples of a very good crop of athletes that have shown success under Jackson’s guidance.

Jackson also coaches the jumpers as Tech consistently puts out top finishes in the WAC championships in the jumping events with the most recent up and coming star being sophomore Quatisha Williams who finished second in the long jump and fourth in the triple jump at the WAC indoor championships in 2009. One of Jackson’s most successful jumpers came through from 2002-2005 in Ayanna Alexander who competed in the NCAA Indoor Championships and earned All-American honors in 2004. Alexander also competed at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the triple jump after winning the WAC title during the 2004 outdoor season as well.

Jackson also serves as the head women’s bowling coach at Louisiana Tech.

Originally from Buffalo, N.Y., Jackson ran track for the Bulldogs from 1990-92. After finishing up his career on the track, he completed the required course work for his general studies degree in 1994. Soon after that, he completed the required course work for a master’s degree in sports science.

CARMICHAEL, PH.D. ASSISTANT COACH

for more information

Larry Carmichael brought an impressive resume to Ruston, and for the past 19 years, he has expanded it while overseeing the throwing events for both the men’s and women’s teams at Tech.

With over 27 years of experience in track and field, Carmichael’s reputation is known throughout the country by the throwers he has developed during his tenure at Tech. Carmichael coached 1999 All-Americans April Malveo and Olivia McKoy, who scored enough combined points to place the Lady Techster’s 17th in the nation at the NCAA Championships in Boise, Idaho.

Since 1991, he has coached 53 conference champions and 22 NCAA Championship Qualifiers.

Carmichael has also tutored 10 NCAA All-Americans of which three were national runner-ups. Twenty-nine Tech throwers have qualified for the Regional Championships since that event was initiated in 2003.

He coached two-time Olympian Olivia McKoy who competed in the 2000 Olympics for Jamaica in the javelin throw and again for Jamaica in 2008 in the javelin in Beijing. Additionally, April Malveo (discus) was a 2000 United State Olympic Trials finalist. Shot put and discus participant Melissa Gibbons competed in the 2002 British Commonwealth Games representing Jamacia along with McKoy. Recently, Nadia Alexander (shot put) and Jason Morgan competed in the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and saw success. Jason Morgan represented Jamaica at the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan, in the discus. McKoy also represented Jamaica at the 2005 World Championship.

Carmichael lettered four years in track at Kent State University, where he graduated in 1968 and spent time as a graduate assistant under the legendary Douglas L. Raymond. He was also the head coach of cross country and track and field at Meramec Community College in St. Louis, where he developed All-Americans in the long jump and high jump.

After leaving Meramec, Carmichael spent time as a volunteer assistant at Michigan State University while completing his doctorate in education. From 1988-91, he coached throwers at Essex High School in Vermont, where he produced 10 state champions in just four years, before arriving at Tech.

Starting with the 2009 season, Louisiana Tech’s championship track and field programs had a state-of-the-art facility to call home.

For decades the programs had overcome an outdated facility adjacent to Joe Aillet Stadium on Louisiana Tech’s campus, still managing to win several championships. That all changed in March 2008 when construction began on a new facility.

Since the sport of track has changed drastically from the time the old track at Tech was constructed in the 1970s, several updates were needed. Furthermore, because the new track was being built in the same area as the previous one, the old track needed to be completely removed. Not that the old facility didn’t enjoy its time in the sun; on the contrary, it hosted the three Southland Conference Championships as well as the 1991 American South Conference Championships.

One of the many upgrades with the new track is a practice field in the middle, which can be used for soccer and football. To accommodate the need, the new track needed to be wider than the previous one.

“The new facility allows us to practice better and more efficiently,” Tech head men’s and women’s track coach Gary Stanley said. “It also contains several throwing and jumping areas so our teams can practice at the same time.”

Completed in August 2008, the new Jim Mize Track and Field Complex includes a modern drainage system, a much bigger high jump apron and a new location for the steeplechase course. Previously on the outside of the track, the steeplechase pit has been moved on the inside, similar with most tracks.

The updated facility allowed Louisiana Tech to host the 2010 Western Athletic Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships where the Lady Techsters won their seventh consecutive outdoor title and their 11th WAC title in 12 tries.

Head coach Gary Stanley believes the new tartan surface track will not only benefit his teams physically, but psychologically.

“The facility benefits us after we come home from a meet,” Stanley said. “Now, we know we are coming home to a facility that is on par with the facilities we typically see.”

The new facility also contains the resources needed to adapt to changes in the wind. For instance, if wind is present, the javelin, discus and shot put events can occur from two different areas. For runners, the starting blocks can be moved depending on the direction of the wind as well.

“Without a doubt, the new track facility will make a difference with recruits,” Stanley said. “We now have a first class facility for our athletes who are getting a first class education and that is something we really stress in our program.”

Along with the new track is a new sand volleyball court located on the north end of the track. Like the new track, the volleyball court can also be illuminated.

The court will be used for intramural sand volleyball and as a training tool for the football team.

On Nov. 1, 2008, Tech President Dr. Dan Reneau announced that the track facility would once again be named the Jim Mize Track and Field Complex.

Mize attended Tech as an athlete from Fair Park High School in Shreveport, La. and later came back to the university as a coach. He coached football alongside Aillet and Maxie Lambright for 24 years. During his time at Tech, Mize also built a consistent track program. As a track coach, he won conference championships in 1961, 1973 and 1974.

RENEAU

University President

92

There’s a lot to look forward to at Louisiana Tech, as university President Dan Reneau knows well. The university is growing with the increased enrollment of students and the construction of new facilities.

Under Reneau’s leadership, the university is on track in its long-term Tech 2020 goal, a strategy to ensure the university stays in tune with academic, economic, and research trends in the state, region, and nation.

“The transformation of higher education in Louisiana is taking place before our eyes,” Reneau said. “The faculty and staff of Louisiana Tech have chosen to use this transformation as an opportunity to strengthen their institution through a collective and progressive recruitment and retention effort.”

The university has continually thrived with Reneau at the helm in a variety of areas, including: * New construction and renovation of buildings. Currently, the first buildings of Tech’s Enterprise Campus are being constructed, and renovations include the expansion of the Maxie Lambright Intramural Center, the Technology Transfer Center and the Visual Arts Center. The $20 million Quest for Excellence initiative was also announced in Summer 2010, and plans are in the works for the construction of a 90,000-plus square-foot multipurpose facility in the south end zone of Joe Aillet Stadium. The new facility will benefit all student athletes and will include a state-of-the-art sports medicine facility, a new strength and conditioning complex and a new academic center. * All-time high average ACT score of entering freshmen. The average ACT score of beginning freshmen increased from 22.5 in the fall of 2004 to 23.5 in the fall of 2009. * Received national accolades. The university was ranked among the nation’s best colleges and universities and moved up to a Tier 3 ranking by U.S. News and World Report’s 2010 Best Colleges publication. In addition, Louisiana Tech achieved the state’s highest ranking among public colleges and universities, according to Washington Monthly’s 2009 College Rankings. * Performance-based Funding. Tech fared better than all Louisiana public universities for performance-based funding. * National bookstore chain comes to campus. Barnes & Noble bought out the bookstore and will offer more book selections with plans to expand in three to five years. * Increased enrollment recognized. In Fall 2009, Louisiana Tech’s total enrollment stood at 11,289 students, which represents an addition of 339 students, an increase of 3.1 percent.

Reneau is leaving a lasting legacy with Louisiana Tech, especially with the engineering program. Reneau graduated with his bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Tech in 1963 and received his master’s in the same subject in 1964. He received his Ph.D. in 1966 from Clemson University.

Reneau became a faculty member at Tech in 1967 as an assistant professor of chemical engineering and made his way up the ladder to associate professor in 1969 and a full professor in 1973. Reneau’s professional experience includes serving as a research engineer for both Esso and Humble oil companies and as a consultant for five other corporations and universities.

Reneau also has studied abroad at Johannes Gutenburg University in Mainz, West Germany, as an Alexander-von-Humbolt Stiftung visiting professor and also to England at Cambridge and Bristol universities as a visiting professor.

At Tech, Reneau established the biomedical engineering department and was named its head in 1972. The department became the fifth accredited department for its undergraduate curriculum in the United States, and the doctoral program was awarded a commendation of excellence by the Board of Regents.

In 1980, Reneau was promoted to vice president for academic affairs, serving as the chief academic officer to some 400 faculty in six colleges and three professional schools with more than 160 different degree programs. During his tenure as vice president, every major program became accredited, and he was also instrumental in establishing the Center for Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation Science.

Reneau was selected as the university’s 13th president Feb. 20, 1987,

and the public endorsed their new president before the decision was even made. The university paper, The Tech Talk, issued a rare endorsement for the Tech alumnus; the Student Government Association supported his selection through a resolution sent to Baton Rouge; many faculty members circulated a petition for his appointment; and even the Faculty Senate gave Reneau a stamp of approval.

When hurricanes Katrina and Rita devastated the Louisiana coast in 2005, under Reneau’s leadership, Tech welcomed hundreds of evacuees and offered them shelter in Caruthers Residence Hall. Tech also opened its doors to students from various universities in New Orleans as well as the Tulane University football team.

Tech continues to flourish under Reneau’s leadership. In 2007, the university and its president received a glowing review from a team led by national educational consultant James Fisher.

Tech’s graduate programs continue to prosper, as well. A total of ten doctoral degrees are now available at Tech, including a new doctoral program in industrial and organizational psychology that began in 2009. In 2007, Tech produced the first graduate in the world who holds a bachelor’s degree in nanosystems engineering. Last year, Tech reported a record graduate student enrollment with graduate enrollment totaling 2,530, an increase of 9.3 percent.

As Tech holds strong to its 2020 goal, progress is echoed by research, such as a study conducted by the Applied Research Technology Corporation of Baton Rouge. The study shows that Louisiana Tech students have an annual statewide spending impact of $145 million and contribute over 56 hours of volunteerism per student, per year. Over the past 10 years, 65 percent of Tech’s graduates have stayed in Louisiana with total earnings of nearly $1 billion.

“One of Louisiana Tech’s greatest strengths has always been the quality of its students,” Reneau said. “Their success, both during and after college, will impact not only the future of our university, but also the future of our region and our state. As a campus community, we have a responsibility to do everything we can to continue recruiting, educating and graduating the next generation of Louisiana’s leaders.”

Reneau, a native of Woodville, Miss., was born June 11, 1940. He started as a student at Tech in 1959 and met his wife, the former Linda Digby, of Bernice, while a student at Tech. Reneau and his wife have two children, John and Dana, who are both Tech alumni as well. John lives in Las Vegas, and Dana lives in Baton Rouge with her husband, Jim Bernhard, and their two sons, Michael and Ben.

BRUCE

VAN DE VELDE

Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde was named Louisiana Tech’s athletics director in February of 2010 by Louisiana Tech President Dr. Dan Reneau.

“Bruce is well qualified by national standards to fill the position of athletics director at Louisiana Tech,” Reneau said. “I feel that we made an excellent choice in selecting him to lead Tech athletics to national prominence and to serve the needs of our student-athletes.”

Van De Velde, who joined the University in June of 2008 as deputy athletics director and chief operating officer, took over full leadership of a department that fields 16 NCAA Division I sanctioned programs, including nine women’s and seven men’s sports, that compete in the highly-competitive Western Athletic Conference.

“It is an honor to be named as the director of athletics at Louisiana Tech University,” Van De Velde said. “I look forward to serving our student-athletes, faculty, staff, alumni and fans. Our vision is to build a program to a level where we can be associated with universities that aspire to academic and athletic excellence at the highest level.

“This goal is consistent with the vision President Reneau has established for the University which is to become north Louisiana’s premier national research university. In order to accomplish this vision we must engage all of our 80,000 alumni, fans and supporters and ask them for their participation. It takes resources to achieve our goal, and we need every one to support the program.”

During his tenure Van De Velde has been instrumental in a number of accomplishments that have helped further the advancement of the University’s athletic department, including: • Developed, negotiated and implemented $6.75 million multi-media and marketing rights agreement with Learfield Communications. Contract more than doubled revenue derived from corporate sponsorships and created state-wide radio network for Louisiana Tech athletics. Negotiated purchase of $1.6 million Daktronics large screen high-definition video board for Joe Aillet Stadium.

• Upgraded ticket operations by negotiating new contract with Ticketmaster.

Improved customer service, marketing and communication efforts. Developed e-commerce capabilities by implementing on-line ticketing. Established new record for football season ticket sales. Sold allotment of 12,000 Independence Bowl tickets.

• Reorganized annual giving program doubling the number of donors and increased total annual contributions to the program by 75 percent. Developed marketing efforts to strengthen outreach and established an agenda for growth. Implemented new giving plan for 1,150 new chair-back seats for football.

• Led a national search in January of 2010 to hire head football coach Sonny Dykes from the University of Arizona. Was instrumental in hiring head women’s basketball coach in Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame member Teresa Weatherspoon.

• In 2010, the Louisiana Tech athletic department earned the PRISM Award for excellence in athletics management under Van De Velde’s leadership.

•Organized a $20 million fund raising campaign for Louisiana Tech athletics “Quest for Excellence.”

Oversaw the development of the design of a new $20 million athletic sports complex.

Tech has also seen plenty of success on the fields and courts since Van De Velde’s arrival at Tech as the Bulldog football team captured its first bowl victory in more than 30 years with the 2008 Independence Bowl title. The Lady Techster basketball team won the 2009 regular season Western Athletic Conference title and the 2010 WAC Tournament title, and the women’s indoor and outdoor track and field teams won both the 2009 and 2010 league titles.

The University’s student-athletes have also seen success in the classroom since his arrival on cam-

pus as this past year saw eight of the 16 program’s record their highest multiyear APR ever and seven record their highest single-year APR ever. During the 2009-10 season, Tech saw 94 student-athletes earn Academic all-WAC honors for their work in the classrooms while senior sprinter Antoinette Cobb earned the Honda Inspiration Award for her work both on the track and in the classroom while overcoming a battle with cancer.

Van De Velde came to Tech with impressive credentials, having served as an administrator in intercollegiate athletics for over 20 years. Van De Velde served as athletics director at Iowa State University and Utah State University and as a senior administrator at the University of Oklahoma, University of Missouri and Kansas State University.

Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State University included an unprecedented five bowl appearances in six years and the highest national AP football poll ranking (9th) in school history. Iowa State’s 2001 average football attendance of 45,172 reached its highest watermark in 18 years. In 2002 and 2003, total football attendance exceeded 300,000; the most at ISU in two decades.

The emergence of the Cyclone football program on a national stage with Van De Velde at the department helm was affirmed in 2002 when Iowa State was chosen to play No. 1 Florida State University in the Eddie Robinson Classic.

During Van De Velde’s tenure at Iowa State, the men’s and women’s basketball teams won Big XII conference championships and participated in the 2001, 2002 and 2005 NCAA basketball tournaments.

Van De Velde, with a track record for generating revenue, increased the total annual operating revenues for the Cyclone athletic department from $19.6 million to $30 million dollars over a five year period. Revenue generated from fundraising, ticket sales, marketing and corporate sponsorships, licensing, radio and television reached all-time highs during his tenure.

In 2005, total fundraising increased from $4.85 million to $8.6 million and the annual giving achieved the highest membership total in its history with more than 5,500 donors participating and a record $4 million dollars in annual contributions. Under Van De Velde’s leadership, over 2,000 new donors joined the National Cyclone Club. Including capital project gifts, scholarship endowments and annual contributions, over $40 million dollars was raised from 2001 through 2005.

Iowa State’s graduation rate of 89 percent for student-athletes who complete their eligibility was second in the Big XII Conference, and graduation rates for minority student-athletes more than tripled during Van De Velde’s tenure. In 2004-05, Iowa State was one of eight universities nationally to have its football team win a bowl game and have its men and women’s basketball teams par-

93

ticipate in the NCAA tournament. The Sporting News in 2001 rated Iowa State as the seventh best athletic program among more than 115 NCAA Division I-A programs nationally. The ranking considered competitive success, graduation rates, fan support and NCAA compliance to determine national rank.

During his time as athletic director at Utah State University, Van De Velde made his mark by hiring Stew Morrill as the head men’s basketball coach. Morrill has guided Utah State to nine straight postseason tournaments and is the winningest coach in the history of the Utah State program.

While serving as the associate athletic director for football operations under head coach Bill Snyder at Kansas State University, Van De Velde was part of the resurrection of Wildcat football in Manhattan as the program became a national power participating in five bowl games. Van De Velde was recipient of the Admiral U.S. Grant Sharp Award at the 1997 Holiday Bowl for his contributions to the Kansas State football team when the nationally ranked Wildcats finished with a 10-2 record.

As the senior associate athletic for external affairs at the University of Oklahoma, Van De Velde served as the senior administrative officer for the athletic department and oversaw the areas of fundraising, marketing, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, media relations and licensing. Van De Velde managed units that generated in excess of $35 million in annual revenues.

Van De Velde directed the Campaign for Sooner Sports, a $100 million dollar capital campaign to fund facility improvements and scholarships. As associate athletic director for development at the University of Missouri, Van De Velde planned and initiated a $50 million dollar capital campaign for facility improvements for the Sports Park at MU. Van De Velde received the General Robert Neiland Award from the National Football Foundation in 2005 for his service and contributions as an athletic director.

Throughout his career in college athletics, Van De Velde has served on numerous NCAA committees including the Championships and Competition Cabinet, the Football Issues Committee, the Financial Aid Committee and the Peer Review Committee for NCAA certification.

He and his wife Debbie, who is a Kansas State alum and who works in the LA Tech College of Business, are the proud parents of 10-year-old daughter, Ashley who is entering the fourth grade.

Mary kay

Hungate

eputy Athletics Director/ D Senior Woman Administrator

94

Deputy Athletics Director and Senior Woman Administrator Mary Kay Hungate returns for her 26th year as a member of the Louisiana Tech athletics department and has proven to be an integral part in the recent emergence of the Tech teams on the playing fields and in the classroom.

Not only does Hungate serve as the sports administrator for men’s and women’s basketball, women’s soccer, softball, women’s tennis, women’s bowling and women’s volleyball, but she is also in charge of NCAA compliance for all of the university’s 16 NCAA sanctioned programs.

As one of the top two ranking administrators in the Tech athletics department, Hungate is part of a senior staff that has been instrumental in garnering a number of national awards, including the 2010 Turnkey PRISM Award - which recognizes colleges for managerial excellence across four areas: marketing/ branding; fan development; community relations; and customer/client service.

The Tech athletics department has also finished in the Top 10 the past two years in the Excellence in Management Cup, which recognizes the most efficient athletic departments in the nation.

Hungate serves a vital role in the hiring of coaches. Hungate proved instrumental in the decision by former Tech Kodak All-American and WNBA All-Star Teresa Weatherspoon - who played for Hungate in the late-80s - to return to Louisiana Tech in June of 2008. Weatherspoon was promoted to head coach in February of 2009 where she led the Lady Techsters to the WAC regular season title and a berth in the WNIT. This past season, she led Tech to the 2010 WAC Tournament title and a return to the NCAA Tournament.

She also served as the point person in the hiring process of head women’s soccer coach Kevin Sherry and head women’s volleyball coach Matt Sonnichsen.

Sherry led the Lady Techster soccer team to two straight winning seasons the past two years - the first in program history - and the program’s first ever WAC victory.

In only his second season at the helm, Sonnichsen, who was a three-time All-American and two-time National Champion during his playing days at UCLA, led the Lady Techsters to 15 wins - the most since 2005 - as well as a program record in WAC victories.

Another of Hungate’s responsibilities includes overseeing the academic side of the Tech athletics department, another area which has improved drastically as proven by the fact LA Tech’s graduation rate continues to be one of the highest in the state (Federal Graduation Report), including ranking No. 1 in the state of Louisiana and the Western Athletic Conference in recent years.

This past year eight of the 16 NCAA sanctioned programs at LA Tech earn their highest multi-year APR score ever while 94 studentathletes earned Academic all-WAC honors.

Hungate also plays an important role in LA Tech’s NCAA Certification process. As a member of the Steering Committee and the liaison between the athletic department and the University’s Self Study Committees, she provides the information needed for the committees to write their reports. In 2006, LA Tech completed its second NCAA Certification cycle and once again was certified without conditions.

Hungate joined the Louisiana Tech staff in 1985 as an assistant women’s basketball coach and remained in that role for five years. During that time, the Lady Techsters participated in four Final Fours and won the NCAA National Championship in 1988.

In 1990, Hungate made a move out of coaching and became assistant athletics director for academics and compliance as well as senior woman administrator. One of Hungate’s early accomplishments as assistant director of athletics was the creation of the Louisiana Tech Athletic Academic Center program.

Hungate has served terms on the NCAA Division I Academics/Eligibility/ Compliance Cabinet, the NCAA Division I Interpretations/Legislative Review Subcommittee, the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators Wade Trophy Selection Committee and as an NCAA Peer Reviewer. She has also served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Issues Committee since 2004.

She currently serves on the Western Athletic Conference Council, the Conferences’ Legislative Review Committee, the Finance Committee and the Code Book Committee. In addition, along with Athletics Director Bruce Van De Velde, she represents the athletics department as an ex-officio member of the LA Tech Athletics Council.

Hungate’s professional career began as Women’s Sports Coordinator and head volleyball, head basketball and head softball coach at Illinois’ Carl Sandburg Junior College. She spent four seasons at the college where she guided the basketball team to a mark of 80-22 which included an 11th place finish in the 1976 NJCAA national tournament.

In 1978 Hungate took over the head coaching position at Richwoods High School in Peoria, Ill., and quickly compiled one of the top prep coaching records in the nation.

During her seven seasons at Richwoods High School, Hungate’s team ran up an impressive record of 195-13, including a state-record 63 consecutive victories. Hungate was named the National Coach of the Year by USA Today in 1985. Before coming to Louisiana Tech, Hungate amassed a career coaching record of 275-35.

Eric

Buskirk

ssociate Athletics Director/ A External Affairs Eric Buskirk enters his fourth season as the associate athletics director for external affairs at Louisiana Tech University.

Buskirk directs fundraising, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, community relations, licensing, branding, marketing, promotions, video board productions, and the Learfield Sports partnership for Louisiana Tech athletics. Buskirk is a member of the NACMA Board of Directors, and is also an adjunct professor in the College of Business for an advanced level sports management course.

Under Buskirk’s direction, Louisiana Tech’s external affairs have seen a wave of new developments, and national recognition for its accomplishments.

LA Tech athletics has reached record totals in all three major revenue generating areas including fundraising, season ticket sales and corporate sponsorships.

Buskirk’s external team was named the winner of the 2010 PRISM Awards for department excellence, and has been selected as the NCAA Pack the House Challenge winner three years in a row.

The revenue generating advancements have been supported by the addition of multiple strategic business processes being installed. The advancements include the creation of LTAC, Team Tech 100 and the LA Tech Kids Club in the fundraising area. Ticketmaster was contracted to implement the full Archtics ticketing package, and a newly formed call center was established to support the tickets sales efforts. Under Buskirk’s first two years leading the external affairs department, corporate sponsorships tripled with a restructured sponsorship sales approach, and advancements will continue as Learfield Sports was contracted to officially operate LA Tech Sports Properties, officially beginning operations for the 2009 season. Additional upgrades include contracting Rickabaugh Graphics as a part of the rebranding of new logos, and the partnership with CBS sports as the official website provider for LA Tech athletics.

The external affairs advancements have also made way for a new Daktronics state-of-the-art high definition video display scoreboard for the 2009 season.

The HD-16 mm video display board will be the largest in the Western Athletic Conference.

Buskirk came to Louisiana Tech after working at UTSA as the assistant athletic director for external affairs. Buskirk oversaw the external affairs areas of fundraising, marketing, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, merchandising, trademark licensing, branding, website revenue generation, courtesy car program, promotions and spirit squad, along with being the assistant tournament manager for NCAA Championships including the NCAA Final Four.

During his time at UTSA, Buskirk was recognized as one of the “Top 40 under 40” Rising Stars by the San Antonio Business Journal.

Under his direction, UTSA athletics experienced a dramatic increase in its external components, including more than doubling corporate sponsorship revenue in Buskirk’s first 12 months directing the department. Buskirk was instrumental in negotiating with XOS Technologies to be the official website provider of UTSA athletics while also instituting the UTSA athletics re-branding campaign.

Buskirk was heavily involved in the direction of the NCAA Championships that the City of San Antonio hosts. He was the assistant tournament manager and directed marketing efforts for the 2006 NCAA Volleyball Championship, 2006 NCAA Women’s Basketball San Antonio Regional, and the 2007 NCAA Men’s Basketball South Regional. Buskirk was also a key committee member for the 2008 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Final Four hosted by UTSA. Other additions to the UTSA external department included partnerships with local media giants Clear Channel, FOX TV, and Time Warner Cable. Buskirk

also instituted new creative ticket sales strategies including a telemarketing call center that dramatically increased ticket sale efforts.

Prior to his time at UTSA, Buskirk served as the athletics marketing director at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida, where he also served as an adjunct professor in the College of Business and Management. The Columbus, Ohio, native served as a market research analyst for the NBA’s Miami Heat before joining the Lynn staff. Buskirk earned his bachelor’s degree in sports management from Ohio State and an MBA in sport management from Florida Atlantic University.

During his time at Ohio State, he also worked as a coach for men’s and women’s tennis at Columbus West High School and as assistant men’s basketball coach at St. Charles Prep in Columbus.

A native of Columbus, Ohio, Buskirk lettered in football, basketball, tennis and golf at West High School, where he was a teammate of Michael Redd, who starred at Ohio State and now plays for the NBA’s Milwaukee Bucks.

Away from the office, Buskirk is an avid golfer who is always working to lower his handicap, and enjoys reading books on leadership and motivation.

Buskirk’s wife Audrey is the coordinator of marketing and healthy woman advisor for the Northern Louisiana Medical Center.
