2016 and a ninth place finish in 2017. The 2016 team won 35 matches and was ranked No. 1 in the country in the NJCAA Division I polls over the final three weeks of the season. It marked her second 30-plus win season at Panola as the 2015 team also accomplished the feat – the first for the program in more than a decade. "I am honored and beyond blessed for the opportunity to lead the Lady Techster volleyball program," said McCray. "In just a short time on campus, I was convinced Louisiana Tech is a special place and can provide the family atmosphere and support system I've been so grateful for and accustomed to for the past eight years at Panola College. "I want to thank Tommy McClelland, Mary Kay Hungate and everyone involved in the hiring process for trusting my coaching principles and style to replicate success at the four-year level, and I'm excited to see what new heights we can all achieve together." During her time at Panola, McCray coached 28 1st or 2nd team Region XIV all-conference performers, 19 Region XIV academic all-conference honorees and two NJCAA All-Americans. Panola volleyball had a 100 percent graduation rate for volleyball student-athletes enrolled at the school through all four semesters during McCray's tenure. McCray spent two years as an assistant coach at Panola (2011-2013) prior to being promoted to the head coaching position in 2013. She has also spent the past eight years coaching club volleyball teams in east Texas. "We are excited for Coach McCray and the opportunity to go to Louisiana Tech University," said Panola College Director of Athletics Don Clinton. "As a Louisiana Tech alumni, I am a little partial to Tech and proud the university has made the decision to have her as their coach. Amber was a huge part of building our program and maintaining it as a national power on the court and off. She will always be part of the Panola College family, and we wish her and Tech the best of luck." As a student-athlete at Florida (2003-07), McCray was a twoyear captain and a member of five straight Southeastern Conference
McCRAY HEAD COACH Amber McCray enters her second year as the head coach of the Lady Techsters after leading Louisiana Tech to its best season since 2003 in her first season at the helm. The Techsters recorded a record of 13-15 in 2019, including a blistering 11-4 start to the season. The hot start included a wins at two of Tech's three early season tournaments and a stretch in which the Lady Techsters reeled off eight wins in nine matches. Statistically, Tech improved in several categories in 2019. The Lady Techsters posted more kills, assists, aces, and blocks per set than in 2018 while returning many of the same student-athletes. The 2019 team also committed 99 fewer errors than the prior year. The former Florida All-American was named the 10th head coach in Louisiana Tech volleyball history on December 12, 2018. McCray came to Ruston after building Panola College into a nationally ranked program, leading the Fillies to 169 wins and two National Junior College Athletic Association national tournament appearances (2016, 2017). She was one win away from the national tournament in three other seasons at Panola. "After bringing Amber to our campus, we feel strongly she fits the championship culture we strive for at Louisiana Tech," said Director of Athletics Tommy McClelland. "She is a proven winner everywhere she has been from her playing days at Florida to the last eight years at Panola. Her philosophy runs parallel to ours when it comes to building champions on the court, in the classroom and in life. We are very excited to have her as part of the LA Tech Family." McCray spent the past eight seasons at Panola – six as the head coach – earning conference Coach of the Year honors in 2014 and 2016 and Region XIV District H Coach of the Year honors in 2016 and Region XIV District I Coach of the Year honors in 2017.

DR. LES
GUICE
UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT
@LKGuice Louisiana Tech University and President Les Guice share a rich history together that spans five decades and has produced family ties deeply rooted in a passion for the Bulldogs and Lady Techsters. From an architecture student stepping on the campus for the first time in 1972 to an appointment as Louisiana Tech’s 14th President in 2013, Dr. Guice has shown an unwavering commitment to leadership and service to his alma mater. Most recently, Guice’s leadership in promoting a spirit of teamwork has helped the campus community and the City of Ruston work together to overcome the enormous challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic that came on the heels of the tornado that plowed through the campus and community in April 2019. Yet unparalleled educational experiences and unparalleled campus growth have continued. The Integrated Engineering and Science Building opened last fall. The new baseball, softball, and soccer facilities are being built. Work is ongoing for new green space, intramural fields, and student housing along Tech Drive south of the railroad tracks. Add to that additional parking lots, green space and beautification at the site of the recently demolished Harper and Harris Halls, and plans to build a much-needed Tech Pointe II. One of Dr. Guice’s first achievements at Tech was earning a bachelor of arts in architecture in 1976. Discovering a passion for engineering under the mentorship of Professor Jack Painter, Dr. Guice went on to earn a master’s degree in civil engineering from Tech in 1978. While working on his master’s degree at Louisiana Tech, Dr. Guice also discovered a passion for teaching and education as a profession. Dr. Guice accepted a position as an assistant professor of civil engineering at Louisiana Tech in 1978 and was promoted to associate professor in 1981. A few short years after earning his PhD in civil engineering from Texas A&M University in 1986, Dr. Guice was named the interim department head of civil engineering in Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering in 1988 and earned the permanent department head position and full professorship in 1989. As department head, Dr. Guice initiated the formation of the Civil Engineering Advisory Board and the Civil Engineering Distinguished Alumni recognition program, both of which significantly enhanced alumni participation and significantly enhanced fundraising for the department. Throughout the next decade, Dr. Guice would continue to distinguish himself as an academician, researcher, administrator, and leader. His dedication to his students, his faculty, and the University would lead to his appointment as Dean of Louisiana Tech’s College of Engineering and Science (COES) in 1999. As Dean, Dr. Guice continued to encourage and support innovations in the curricula. The College’s faculty became increasingly successful in securing external funding for the integrated curriculum which resulted in a transformative redesign of programs throughout the College. Dr. Guice’s leadership and vision also reinvigorated the Engineering and Science Foundation to more effectively serve the needs of the College. He initiated a new integrated strategic plan, known as “COES 2010,” and capital campaign, “Tech’s BEST,” which led to major advancement of the college and to funding for an Eminent Scholar Chair, 15 Professorships, $500k Scholarship Fund, and several new laboratories and facilities. Dr. Guice’s leadership also helped to guide the Institute for Micromanufacturing (IfM) toward a focus on the emerging field of nanotechnology. With the hiring of key nanotechnology faculty in numerous disciplines, further expansion of research laboratories, establishment of an interdisciplinary engineering PhD program with a nanotechnology track, and initiation of a BS in Nanosystems Engineering, the IfM and COES established strong research and education nanotechnology programs that have received national recognition. In 2004, Dr. Guice’s performance and accomplishments as dean led to his appointment as Tech’s vice president for research and development. During his tenure as vice president and, beginning in 2012, as executive vice president, Tech has significantly increased patents, licenses/options, startup companies, SBIR grants with affiliated companies, and has established strong industry partnerships for commercialization of technologies. Dr. Guice also led the establishment of Tech’s first two technology incubators,

the Rawle and Humana Enterprise Centers. With a focus on the future and a progressive vision for economic development, Dr. Guice has led the planning and development of the Louisiana Tech Enterprise Campus – a research park connecting the university and downtown Ruston. Enterprise Campus’ first building, Tech Pointe, was completed in 2012 and is now home for several companies and organizations, including an Air Force-funded Cyberspace Research Laboratory. With the completion of Tech’s new College of Business building and renovation to University Hall as a home for interdisciplinary entrepreneurship and innovation activities, the first phase of Enterprise Campus was completed. Dr. Guice’s reputation for exemplary leadership and service is further evidenced by the many statewide and Conference-USA-wide organizations he has founded or chaired, and he’s been honored with numerous awards, both locally and statewide. Currently he serves as chair of the C-USA Board of Directors. As Tech’s president, Dr. Guice is the chief executive officer of north Louisiana’s only Carnegie Foundation national research university and one of only two public universities from Louisiana recognized in the top tier of national universities in the U.S. News and World Report. Dr. Guice leads a University that consistently receives high marks in affordability, in starting salaries for graduates, and in providing graduates with the best returns on investment. Throughout his career, Dr. Guice has contributed to and played a central role in creating the culture and vision for the future of Louisiana Tech; he continues that commitment as president. Dr. Guice’s focus on campuswide engagement, building and growing relationships, and leadership in forging a path toward advancement of the University’s academic and athletic programs, research and commercialization activities, and economic development efforts means that Louisiana Tech University’s best days are yet to come. Dr. Guice is a native of Monroe and grew up in Bastrop. He and his wife, Kathy, have three sons – Kyle, Chad, and Bret – and four grandchildren, Christopher, twins Everly and Elizabeth, and the youngest, Evie.
