THE University
OUR HISTORY Texas A&M University-Commerce began as East Texas Normal College in 1889 when founder William Leonidas Mayo opened the doors to a one-building campus in Cooper. His creed, which continues today, was “ceaseless industry, fearless investigation, unfettered thought, and unselfish service to others.” The institution’s history of dynamic change began in 1894 when “Mayo’s College” moved to Commerce. The State of Texas took over the campus in 1917 and the name was changed to East Texas State Normal College. In 1923, the school was renamed East Texas State Teachers College. The graduate program was added in 1935, and in 1957 the Legislature, recognizing that the purpose of the institution had broadened from teacher education, changed the name to East Texas State College. Following inauguration of the first doctoral program in 1962, the name was changed to East Texas State University. In 1996, the institution entered The Texas A&M University System and became Texas A&M University-Commerce. Today, on the Commerce campus, the Metroplex Center, the Universities Center at Dallas, Navarro College Partnership, and through state-of-the-art distance learning, the University meets the undergraduate, graduate and professional needs of the citizens of Northeast Texas and beyond. Its mission is achieved through teaching, scholarship, and service activities on its campuses, and in the community and region.
OUR VISION Texas A&M University-Commerce will be recognized as a premier regional University, distinctive for high expectations, a nurturing environment, and innovations in the enhancement of learning to produce graduates who distinguish themselves in their chosen careers and as active, contributing members of society.

HISTORY By focusing on access, participation, and success of students in quality undergraduate and graduate degree programs, Texas A&M University-Commerce will become the University of choice for those seeking a higher education in the Northeast Texas area. As a result, Texas A&M University-Commerce will be recognized for the creation of partnerships and initiatives that promote intellectual, social, environmental, economic, and cultural advancement of the region and state.
OUR MISSION Texas A&M University-Commerce provides a personal educational experience for a diverse community of life-long learners. Our purpose is to discover and disseminate knowledge for leadership and service in an interconnected and dynamic world. Our challenge is to nurture partnerships for the intellectual, cultural, social, and economic vitality of Texas and beyond.
ACADEMICS • More than 100 fields of study through 26 academic departments • 103 undergraduate, 85 graduate and 7 doctoral majors • Also: Graduate School, Extended University
THE CAMPUS The historic main campus is located on 140 acres in Commerce, Texas, 65 miles northeast of Dallas. Classes also are offered at the Metroplex Center in Mesquite, the Universities Center in downtown Dallas and Navarro College in Corsicana.
Founded in 1889 by a young Kentuckian, William L. Mayo, the University began as a teacher-training or “normal” college. It was one of many such schools of the time, but from the beginning it was set apart by Professor Mayo’s progressive teaching style. He created a student-centered learning environment that was well ahead of its time, one where high standards and hands-on learning were emphasized as the best way to nurture students. That kind of teaching, along with his motto of “Ceaseless Industry, Fearless Investigation, Unfettered Thought, Unselfish Service to Others” has withstood the test of time to become the cornerstone of this, the fifth-oldest public University in Texas.

LOCATION:
Home of Texas A&M University-Commerce, the community is located in Hunt County, 65 miles northeast of Dallas off I-30 and 125 miles west of Texarkana. As the Gateway to Texas Lake Country, Commerce is less than 15 minutes from Cooper Lake, which offers fishing, camping, boating, and water skiing.
CLIMATE:
Annual Average Temperature – 63.6º F Monthly Average High – 74.3º F Monthly Average Low – 52.2º F Annual Average Rainfall – 45.3 inches Annual Average Snow – 2.3 inches
BACKGROUND:
Commerce was formally incorporated on September 25, 1885—which is why the Bois d’Arc Bash occurs on the nearest weekend. Starting with a population of 145, the town has grown to just over 9,300 with Texas A&M University-Commerce adding another 9,000 with its enrollment. In 1873, William Jernigin erected a general merchandise store on his farm near the present downtown – only a mile west of the rival Jackson store, a grist mill that had been around since the early 1850’s, in the village of Cow Hill. As commerce continued to flourish, Jackson finally moved his business to Commerce. Soon to follow was the Post Office, originally known as Ashland. When Jernigin generously gave a section of land for a town square, businesses thrived – the nearest competition being Greenville to the west, Ladonia to the north and Black Jack Grove to the south. In 1919, store-front owners on the square were assessed so much per food to pay for paving, completing the project within a year. They did a fine job, too, as most of the historic brick was saved during the 1985 downtown refurbishing. Commerce is considered the Bois d’Arc Capital of Texas. The Bois d’Arc tree, known for the hardness of its wood and its distinctive green “apples,” is the focus of an annual community festival held each September. The Bois d’Arc tree is indigenous to a total of 10,000 square miles in the rich bottom lands of Northeast Texas, Southeast Oklahoma and Southwest Arkansas. It has been spread by man across the United States and the world. The tree is known for its hardness, flexibility, durability and resistance to contact with moisture and soil. Due to its many uses, it is an important part of the history and folklore of Northeast Texas, and thus the first festival in Commerce in 1985 was called the Bois d’Arc Bash. Its many uses include fence posts, house foundation blocks, and hedges for fields of crops to keep animals out. The Chamber of Commerce at 1114 Main downtown has a display of many items made out of bois d’arc wood. Commerce honors its heritage each year by hosting the Bois d’Arc Bash – a time of celebration, fun and entertainment. The Bash includes: Car Show, arts and crafts, youth pageant, parade, 5K run, children’s activities, wine tasting event, music and food.

COACHING STAFF NEIL PIPER Head Coach
Returning for his 13th season as head coach of Texas A&M University-Commerce is Neil Piper. The veteran head coach is currently tied for 20th among active head coaches in victories (150) and 27th in winning percentage (.660) in NCAA Division II soccer. He has won three Lone Star Conference Championships and has been named Lone Star Conference Coach of the Year on two occasions. Piper has led the Lions to the NCAA tournament four times, including an NCAA Elite Eight appearance in 1999. Piper has coached three All-Americans, 23 All-Region performers, and 68 All-Lone Star Conference performers. Piper has built the A&M-Commerce soccer program to being one of the top programs on a regional and also a national level. In the last seven years, the Lions have defeated 13 Top 25 teams. Seven of the last eight seasons, A&MCommerce has posted 10-or-more wins and made six-straight LSC Tournament appearances. Last year, in 2009, the Lions reached the LSC Touranment and senior Meagan Lasley was named first team all-region and the Lone Star Conference Offensive Player of the Year. In 2008, the Lions tied his 1999 and 2003 teams with a school record for the most wins in a season. A&M-Commerce also made their eighth Lone Star Conference Tournament appearance and advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament. Two Lions earned National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-American honors, five earned all-region and eight were selected all-Lone Star Conference. In 2007, A&M-Commerce knocked off eventual national champion and No. 2 Tampa. Four Lions earned all-Lone Star Conference recognition and two were selected to the LSC All-Tournament Team. In 2006, Piper and the Lions knocked off No. 2 Metro State at home and advanced to the championship game of the LSC Tournament. In 2005, A&M-Commerce was ranked as high as 14th in the middle of the season, suffered a first-round exit to Regis (Colo.) in the South Central Regional, but not before claiming the conference tournament with a double-overtime win against West Texas A&M. Piper’s teams have proven to be a quick study. Under his direction, it took two years to engrave his name in A&MCommerce history, but LSC history too. He led the Lions to their first-ever LSC title and the conference’s first berth in the NCAA tournament. During the 1999 season, the Lions advanced to the NCAA Tournament and nearly advanced to the Final Four with a double-overtime defeat to the eventual national runnerup. He joined the A&M-Commerce soccer coaching staff as an assistant in 1997 under Mike Munch. In 1998, he took over the Lions program and in his first year, the Lions posted their best season yet with a 13-6 record, only to re-write the record a year later with a 16-4-1 mark. A 1996 graduate of Wichita State University, with a bachelor’s degree in education, Piper went on to complete his master’s degree in Sports Administration in 1998 from WSU. Prior to transferring to WSU, Piper attended Penn State University and Friends University, playing soccer at both institutions. He was a member of the 1993 Penn State team, where he was named to the 1993 All-Big 10 First Team. During his stay at WSU, Piper was sports editor of the Wichita State Sunflower and was a correspondent for the Wichita Eagle. Born September 8, 1972, in Portsmouth, England, Piper is the son of Norman (former soccer professional in England and U.S.) and Cheryl Piper. He came to the United States in 1981 and remains a British citizen. He is married to the former Anne Cillessen and they have two children, nine-year-old Cole and six-year-old daughter Lauren.

COMPLIANCE
Dear Prospective Student-Athlete As a prospective student-athlete, you may have the athletic ability to play at Texas A&M University-Commerce. If so, you may be exposed to a large amount of recruitment from various universities across the nation. Throughout the recruitment process, coaches may reference various NCAA rules and regulations. The rules are designed for various reasons, but the two primary reasons are to ease the pressures on the prospective student-athlete and to level the playing field from one university to another. During the recruiting process you may have some of the following questions: When and how often may I visit a university’s campus? How many times may a coach observe me in practice or a competition? When, where and how often may a coach telephone me? What academic credentials do I need to be eligible to play collegiate sports? All of these answers and more may be obtained from Texas A&M University-Commerce or the NCAA by requesting the NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete. This guide may be provided to a prospective student-athlete at any time. The guide will discuss issues related to Division I, II and III, academic eligibility, financial aid, recruitment and many more. To receive the guide, simply request it from the Texas A&M University-Commerce coach who is recruiting you or call the NCAA Hotline at 1-800-638-3731 or go online at www.ncaa.org. Select the StudentAthlete Experience link, then selecting Becoming a Student-Athlete, then select either D1 Toolkit or D2 Toolkit. This site will answer most of your questions but if you need additional information, you can click on the Guide for the College Bound Student-Athlete link under Related Links on the right-hand side of the web page.. Violations of NCAA rules during your recruitment may jeopardize your collegiate eligibility; therefore, you and your parents need to learn as much as possible about the recruitment process.
Compliance Guidelines
The Athletic Department takes great pride in abiding by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Lone Star Conference rules and guidelines that govern Division II competition. For the benefit of the many alumni, fans and booster club members who are so active in supporting and assisting the Lions throughout the year, we would like to remind everyone of a few definitions and rules that apply to all athletic representatives and boosters. NCAA Principles Institutional Control It is the responsibility of Texas A&M University-Commerce to control its intercollegiate athletic program in compliance with the rules and regulations of the NCAA. Responsibility The Texas A&M University-Commerce athletic department has responsibility for the conduct of its program includes responsibility for the actions of its staff members and for the actions of any other individual, booster or organization engaged in activities promoting the athletic interests of the institution. Compliance Texas A&M University-Commerce must monitor its program to assure compliance and to identify and report to the NCAA instances in which compliance has not been achieved. An institution found to have violated NCAA rules is subject to disciplinary and corrective actions as determined by the NCAA. NCAA Definitions Athletic Representative/Booster You are considered to be a Texas A&M University-Commerce athletic representative if you: • Are a present or past member of a Texas A&M University-Commerce booster club or agency that promotes the Lions’ intercollegiate athletic program; • Have made financial contributions to the athletic department or to an athletic booster organization of the Texas A&M University-Commerce; • Are, or have been, providing benefits (e.g., summer jobs, meals etc.) to enrolled student-athletes, their family members or friends; • Are, or have been involved in any manner of promoting the Texas A&M UniversityCommerce intercollegiate athletic program.
2010 SOCCER MEDIA GUIDE
Please note: Once an individual is identified as an athletic representative, that person retains that identity indefinitely. Texas A&M University-Commerce is ultimately responsible for the acts of all “representatives of athletic interests” in relation to NCAA rules and regulations. Prospective Student-Athlete A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade or above, including students in prep schools and junior colleges as well as students who have officially withdrawn from a four-year institution and plan to transfer to another institution. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution or a Texas A&M UniversityCommerce booster provides the individual or the individual’s relatives or friends with any financial assistance or benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students in general. A good rule of thumb is to treat ALL STUDENTS as prospects. Student-Athlete A student-athlete is a student whose enrollment was solicited by a member of the Texas A&M University-Commerce athletic staff or other representative of athletic interests with a view toward the student’s ultimate participation in the intercollegiate athletic program. Contact A contact is any face-to-face encounter between a prospect, or the prospect’s parent or legal guardian, and a Texas A&M University-Commerce staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs. Recruiting Recruiting is any solicitation of a prospect or a prospect’s family member (or guardian) by an institutional staff member or by athletic representative of the institution, for the purpose of securing the prospect’s enrollment and ultimate participation in Texas A&M University-Commerce’s intercollegiate athletic program.

Tutoring appointments and study hall times are also scheduled through the SAMS program alerting the student-athlete of any changes to existing appointments or of any new appointments. The Associate Athletic Director for Academics uses the SAMS program to send out online progress reports throughout the year to all instructors on campus. Student-athletes, coaches, and advisors have the ability to see how they are progressing in their classes. By receiving this information academic plans can be made for each student based on their performance.

What is SAAC?
SAAC on a Conference Level
A student-athlete advisory committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of student-athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and polices that affect student-athletes’ lives on NCAA member institution campuses. At Texas A&M University-Commerce, the studentathlete advisory committee meets each month under the direction of Associate Athletic Director for Academic Affairs. A&M-Commerce and the NCAA Division II have established a partnership with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a global charity that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. To raise money, the A&M-Commerce SAAC has hosted a talent show and collected donations at sporting events.
u A conference issue is anything that relates to most, or all of the schools in your conference. They are usually more general in scope than campus issues, because they are not specific to any one particular school. u Sportsmanship and the Student-Athletes Opportunity Fund are just a few issues that a conference can address. u Your conference SAAC is a great vehicle to use in order to bring issues up to both conference administrators, and student-athletes from the other schools in your conference. u If you feel that you have a conference issue, always address your campus SAAC chair or your conference representative so they can make sure your concern is addressed at the conference level.
SAAC on a Campus Level
u National issues tend to affect a majority of student-athletes across the country, rather than at a specific school or conference. u National issues can include pieces of legislation in the NCAA legislative cycle, student-athletes well-being concerns, overall competition experience and other educaiton al topics that are pertinent to student-athletes. u The National SAAC acts as the voice of the student-athlete in the NCAA governance structure, and is a valuable resource to be able to bridge the communication gap between student-athletes and the various NCAA committees.
u A campus issue is anything that can be directly addresssed by someone on your campus (e.g., Athletic Director, Senior Woman Administrator, Faculty Athletics Representative, etc.) u Campus issues usually deal with conflicts relating to facilities, academics, or a wide variety of other issues that are specific to your campus. u Use the resources available to you on campus; many times, issues to unresolved because studentathletes don’t know who to talk to. A solution cannot be found if the issue remains undefined. u It is a great idea to talk about these types of issues at campus SAAC meetings. See if other studentathletes feel the same way, and address the concern as a group.
