Coach Beth Harrelson
I
n her third season as the head coach of the University of Memphis women’s golf team, Beth Harrelson continues to build the program into a national force. Prior to being named head coach of the Lady Tigers, Harrelson was an instructor at Memphis National Golf Club, as well as the head coach of St. Mary’s High School.

Tigers to four top-10 team finishes. Harrelson worked on laying the solid foundation for future success of the women’s golf program. A graduate of Briarcrest High School, the former Beth Walthal signed a volleyball scholarship with the University of Alabama before declining the offer and choosing to attend the U of M. She arrived on campus in 1982 and played for Coach Diane Hale during the fall season. After redshirting for a year, she made the transition to golf in 1984 and received the team’s Most Improved Player award following the 1984-85 season. As a senior, Harrelson was selected as captain of her team and posted the team’s lowest scoring average. After graduating with a journalism degree, Harrelson participated on the Futures Tour for two years before moving to Scottsdale, Ariz., to work as an assistant professional at the TPC of Scottsdale during the winter and at Stonebridge Golf Club during the remainder of the year. In 1987, the talented player won the Memphis area Women’s Golf Association Tournament and the Double Eagle Golf Tournament. She was also the medalist in the 1988 Tennessee State Tournament. She returned to Memphis permanently in 1990 and accepted a full-time position as the assistant pro at Stonebridge Golf Club. She became the golf instructor at Stonebridge in 1991 and held that position until 1998 when she moved to Quail Ridge Golf Club in Bartlett as the golf instructor. While working at Stonebridge Golf Club, she earned her PGA Class A membership into the Professional Golfers Association in 1995. Harrelson was inducted into the M Club Hall of Fame in 1999. Later she was inducted into the Briarcrest High School Sports Hall of Fame in 2006. She and her husband, Tim, have three children; daughter Megan, who is a junior at the U of M;daughter Grace, who is a student at Briarcrest; and son, Jon.

Coach Harrelson returned all five players from a team that finished fourth in the C-USA Championship in 2010, so the bar was set high for the 2010-11 Lady Tigers. Memphis responded with a resounding 34-stroke victory in the season-opening Bobcat Invitational. Junior Marissa Steen led the way by posting scores of 71-67 en route to earning the second individual title of her career. Her 67 in the second round was a careerlow and the lowest score of anyone under Harrelson. The Lady Tigers weren't satisfied, however, as the squad would go on to finish in the top five in four events in the fall, including another team victory at the UAB Fall Beach Blast. Steen again led Memphis, this time posting scores of 73-70 amidst soggy conditions to help the Lady Tigers defend their title for the second consecutive season. Coach Harrelson also brought back the Memphis Women's Invitational after an eight-year absence from the Lady Tiger schedule. The event was an overall success as Memphis finished second in the 18-team field. In 2009, Harrelson welcomed three newcomers after losing just one returnee. After struggling to a 14th-place finish in the season opening Lady Paladin Invitational, Harrelson led the Lady Tigers to three top-5 finishes. After posting back to back third place finishes at the Lady Red Wolf Classic and the CSU Wendy’s Invitational, Memphis finally broke through to win the UAB Fall Beach Blast. Led by freshman Sarah Mathews’ rounds of 74-73, the Lady Tigers posted team totals of 300-295 (the lowest two team scores under Harrelson) to capture the first victory under Harrelson and the first for the program since 2007. After taking over a program that only had four returning scholarship players in August of 2008, Harrelson led the 2008-09 Lady

Lady Paladin Invite, 2006
History 1977-79
• The University of Memphis women’s golf program began in 1977 under current Associate Athletic Director Lynn Parkes. With a handful of tryouts, Parkes started a program that today is one of the most respected women’s golf programs in the country. That first Lady Tiger team consisted of Theresa Simi, Gloria Carkeet, Cindy Gabel, Kathy Whitetree, C.C. Chamberlain and Sydney Forrester. • In the second season, Parkes awarded three scholarships and that number increased to 10 scholarship players in 1979-80. The first scholarship Lady Tiger golfers included Monice Madden, Jackie Worley and Elaine Heroux, a junior college transfer. • The 1978-79 team participated in eight events and placed in the top 10 in four of the eight tournaments. The team won the TCWSE (Tennessee College Women’s State Finals) in 1979. Mary Ann Bailey had a season low round of 78, and she also qualified for the USGA Women’s Amateur. Karen Young was signed in 1978-79 and became an impact player for the Lady Tigers. The team captured their first team championship in the TCWSF Tournament. • In 1979-80, Maureen Danehy and Susan Hundley became Lady Tigers. Hundley had just won the Indiana Long Driving competition prior to signing with the University of Memphis.
1980-89

• By 1982-83, Kathy Vendetti was added to the already strong Lady Tiger golf team. She immediately made a name for herself and before she graduated, set virtually every U of M golf record. The Lady Tiger team placed in the top 10 in all four spring tournaments in 1983. They were fifth in the Troy State tournament for their best finish of the spring. Vendetti had a 78.8 stroke average and posted a low round of 74 in the Carrier/Memphis State Women’s Tournament. In her 26 rounds that year, 16 were in the 70s. • Sally Andrews, a well-known local golfer, joined Memphis as assistant golf coach in 1983-84 and helped Parkes mold an even stronger team. Vendetti led the Lady Tigers, placing third at the Alabama Intercollegiate. She was joined by Renee Schafer and together they fired more rounds in the 70s. Vendetti had a season low round of 72 at the Furman Intercollegiate and a 75 at the Lady Seminole and the Carrier/Memphis State Women’s Open. Schafer also had a low round of 75 at the Memphis tournament.
University of Memphis
• Beth Walthal and Leslie Folsom were looked up to as leaders for the 1985-86 Lady Tiger team. They led the squad to a fifth-place finish at the Kentucky Lady Kat Intercollegiate and the Metro Conference Championships. • In 1986-87 Andrews took over for Lynn Parkes as head coach, when Parkes was elevated to Assistant Athletic Director for Women’s Sports. Andrews inherited a team made up of Angie Barker, Cynthia Brooks, and Folsom, and added the first international players to the team in Beatriz Cowman of Chile and Heather Lee from Canada. She also inked Gia Kronske of Clearwater, Florida. • In 1987-88 Parkes’ sister, Christi Parkes, was joining forces with Cowman, Lee and Kronske to post impressive scores. Parkes had a 75 in the Metro Conference Tournament. Cowman, a native of Santiago, Chile, had a 76 at the Southern Intercollegiate, while Kronske finished 16th at the Hudson Invitational with a low round of 75. Lee was fourth in the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate, while Barker finished tied for seventh in the Metro Conference Tournament with a three-round total of 235. The squad won the UAB Lady Blazer Tournament in the spring of 1988, the team’s first NCAA sanctioned tournament title. • Cynthia Brooks was named the Most Improved Player for the Lady Tigers in 1988-89. Cowman continued her assault on par, firing a 74 at UAB’s Lady Blazer Tournament. Kronske was seventh in the Metro Conference and sixth at the TigerTide. She received All-Metro Conference honors and finished the season with a 79.4 stroke average. Lee had rounds of 73-74 at the True Temper/Memphis Women’s Open and led the team in stroke average with a 78.7 average per round. • The Lady Tigers placed second in the UAB Lady Blazer Tournament in 1989-90 with Cowman, Kronske and Lee leading the team. Cowman had a 74.2 stroke average in the fall and placed fifth in the Kentucky Lady Kat Invitational. Both Kronske and Lee carried stroke averages in the 70s.
1990-99
• Lori Brock came on board as the Lady Tiger head coach in 1991-92 and under her tutelage, captured just the second official tournament championship in the history of the program. The Lady Tigers won the Nebraska Women’s Intercollegiate. The golf team also placed second in the Peggy Kirk Bell hosted by Rollins College and were fourth in the prestigious Tiger-Tide and South Alabama Intercollegiate. • In 1993-94, the Lady Tiger golf team grabbed the spotlight with its outstanding play. Led by Allison Bell and Kim Hunt, the Lady Tigers captured the first Great Midwest Conference women’s golf championship. Bell was the medalist and Hunt placed second, and head coach Lori Brock was named Coach of the Year. Alissa Lauder was the medalist in the NTU/SMU Invitational Tournament and qualified for the NCAA Golf Championships, where she placed 27th in a field of 102 golfers. • The 1994-95 Lady Tiger golf team again swept through the Great Midwest Conference tournament, held at Farmington Country Club in Memphis, winning by 47 strokes over its next closest opponent. Junior Melissa Isham claimed medalist honors with teammates Marie-Louise Hviid and Allison Bell tying for second. Isham was named to the All-GMC team, as were teammates Hviid, Bell and Cristi Fernandez. Hviid was also named GMC Newcomer of the Year and head coach Lori Brock received Coach of the Year honors. • Lori Brock left the University of Memphis in the summer of 1995, and Debby King was hired as the new Lady Tiger head golf coach. King led her new team to its first championship of the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate Tournament in September and two additional top-five finishes in fall events.
• Under the direction of Debby King, the Lady Tigers captured their second tournament title of the season. Memphis won the rain-shortened Lady Panther Invitational, while Melissa Isham fired a 69 to earn individual medalist honors. Through the course of the 1995-96 season, the Lady Tigers wrapped up five top-five finishes and earned a spot in the NCAA Regionals for the first time in school history. Freshman Naima Ghilain was named Conference USA Freshman of the Year. • The Lady Tiger golf team had the finest season in school history in 1996-97. Led by newcomer Amanda Moltke-Leth, the Lady Tigers won the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate to open the season. They closed the fall season by winning the Lady Panther Golf Classic in Atlanta and then ended the spring schedule with their third tournament victory, this time in the Conference USA Championship. Moltke-Leth took medalist honors in the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate, the Lady Panther Golf Classic, and the Duke Spring Invitational en route to being named the Conference USA Freshman of the Year. Debby King won Coach of the Year honors and all five Tiger teammates - Kim Hunt, Amanda Moltke-Leth, Naima Ghilain, Meredith Thomas and Valerie Luehrs - were named to the All-Conference USA Team. The Lady Tigers received their bid to the NCAA Regional Championships and placed eighth. • The 1997-98 Lady Tiger golf team continued with their nationally ranked play, as the team received their third-consecutive bid to the NCAA Championships. The Lady Tigers had seven top-10 tournament finishes in nine tournament starts and placed 10th in the NCAA East Regional in Durham, North Carolina. Amanda Moltke-Leth and Naima Ghilain were both named to the All-Conference USA team. • The 1998-99 Lady Tiger golf team made it four in a row when the team received another bid to the NCAA Regionals. The Lady Tigers travelled to Columbia, South Carolina, for the NCAA Regionals and were led in play by Natalie Tucker, who tied for seventh at The University Club. On the year, Tucker won the individual title at the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate and finished third in the Conference USA Championships. She had seven top-10 finishes in the 10 tournaments in which the Lady Tigers competed. Naima Ghilain ended her career with Memphis by placing fifth in the Conference USA Championships and again being named to the All-Conference team, an honor she received all four years at the U of M.
2011 Women’s Golf Fact Book
History • The 1999-2000 Lady Tiger golf team spent the fall introducing a number of young players to the game of college golf. Senior Valerie Luehrs led the squad with a second-place finish in the Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate. The highlight of the fall for the Lady Tigers was a trip to Hawaii to participate in the Rainbow Wahine Fall Golf Classic. The team travelled to the islands and spent an enjoyable week playing in this prestigious college event. The trip marked the first time in the history of the program that a Lady Tiger golf team had traveled outside the continent for play.

other outstanding season. With a youthful squad, the Lady Tigers won the Conference USA Championship and received their fifth bid in six seasons to the NCAA Regional. Tiger freshman Meaghan Francella won the C-USA individual title and was named the Freshman of the Year. She was also named to the All-Conference and All-Tournament squads. Marianne Ruud was named All-Conference and All-Tournament, while Jennifer Jaszek earned All-Tournament honors. • The 2001-2002 season opened with former head coach Debby King leaving the U of M to start a program at Notre Dame. Katie Rump, an outstanding collegiate and amateur player from the Memphis area, was named as the interim head coach and led her team to a tournament victory in its first start of the season. The Lady Tigers went on to win the Edwin Watts/Carolina’s Classic, where junior Marianne Ruud also captured the medalist honors for her first collegiate tournament victory. The Lady Tigers received their sixth invitation to the NCAA Tournament and participated in the East Regional in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Sophomore Meaghan Francella received an individual invitation to the NCAA Championships. • The 2002-03 season became another of change for the Memphis women’s golf team. Sheryl Maize, the head coach at Augsburg College in Minnesota and a noted teacher of the game, was hired as the permanent head coach replacing Katie Rump, who served as the interim coach for one year. Maize immediately won her first tournament, The Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate, and led the squad to three top-five finishes in the fall of 2002. The Tigers were third at the Louisville Lady Cardinal Cup and fourth at the Beacon Woods Invitational.
• Due to circumstances beyond their control, members of the Lady Tiger golf team and their head coach faced yet another change for the 2003-04 season. Maize returned to the state of Florida after an extended family illness and was granted a year’s leave of absence to take care of family matters. Former NCAA official and South Carolina women’s golf coach Donna Noonan took over the team on an interim basis and coached the Lady Tigers. • For the fourth-straight year, the Lady Tigers brought in a new coach. Jenny Bruun replaced interim coach Donna Noonan for the 2004-05 season. Bruun came to Memphis after two years as the assistant coach for both the men’s and women’s golf teams at Campbell University. A first-year head coach, Bruun inherited a young team with only one junior along with six sophomores and one freshman. • Sophomore Stacey Tate led the Lady Tigers in the 2004-05 season with the program’s first individual title since 2002. Tate earned medalist honors at the Lady Eagle Classic and was selected the CUSA Player of the Week. • Tate’s three first-place finishes were only some of the highlights of the 2005-06 campaign. Tate went on to set new school records for 18, 36, and 54 holes as well as posting a stroke average of 74.1, beating the previous school record by 1.7 strokes. As a team, the Lady Tigers roared to victory at the Lady Eagle Invitational, their first tournament victory since the 2002 Memphis Women’s Intercollegiate. • Memphis started off the 2006-07 season strong. After starting the year by finishing sixth at the Badger Women’s Golf Invitational, the Lady Tigers never finished lower than fifth the rest of the fall. A win at the Wildcat Fall Invitational followed by back-to-back runner-up finishes at the Lady Paladin and Lady Jaguar Invitationals gave Memphis three consecutive top three finishes. The Lady Tigers climbed as high as No. 38 in the nation in the Golfstat fall polls and Stacey Tate was named one of GolfWorld Magazine’s Top 50 Female Players to Watch. The Lady Tigers capped off a successful spring by winning the conference championship earning a trip to the NCAA West Regional in Utah. Senior Stacey Tate finished second at the conference tournament and was named firstteam all-conference. Junior Dawn-Marie Conaty and Rachel Larson were named third-team all-conference.
M Club Hall of Fame During the short 29-year history of the University of Memphis Lady Tiger golf program, there have been numerous outstanding players and several have been inducted into the M Club Hall of Fame. Kathy Vendetti, who played from 1980 through 1983, was the first Lady Tiger golfer to be installed in the Hall of Fame. Vendetti was inducted during ceremonies in 1994. Beth Walthal-Harrelson was voted into the prestigious Hall in 1999. Walthal-Harrelson was a stellar performer for the U of M from 1983 through 1987 and is now in her third season at the helm of the Lady Tiger golf program. The latest inductee into the Hall of Fame was Kim Hunt-McNeil, who was a member of the Hall of Fame class of 2001. Hunt-McNeil, who is married to former Tiger golfer Sam McNeil, played for the Lady Tigers from 1993 through 1997. She was an All-Conference USA selection in 1996 and won the Conference USA medalist title in 1997. Hunt-McNeil also helped the Lady Tigers to the team championship in ‘97.

• After consecutive 11th place finishes to begin the 2007-2008 campaign, the Lady Tigers placed 5th at the Johnie Imes Invitational led by freshman Alexa Porter’s eighth-place finish. Junior Rachel Larson finished 12th at the Pat Bradley Championship and Porter placed 15th. Larson earned her second-consecutive All-Conference USA Third Team honor and Porter was named to the C-USA All-Tournament team after tying for second in the C-USA Championship. • Under first year head coach Beth Harrelson, the Lady Tigers entered the 2008-09 campaign with three newcomers and only five players on the roster. The young group continued to improve throughout the fall, closing out the fall with two consecutive top-10 finishes at the Lady Red Wolf Classic and the Ross Resort Invitational. Senior Rachel Larson and freshman Marissa Steen both notched two top-20 finishes in each of those events, including a fourth-place showing by Steen at the Lady Red Wolf Classic. In the spring, the team competed in four events, posting two top10 finishes, including an eighth-place finish at the Conference USA Championship. • After struggling to a 14th-place finish at the season opening Lady Paladin Invitational, the Lady Tigers rebounded with four consecutive top-10 finishes to close out the fall. Led by Leslie Grabeman’s performance that would garner C-USA Golfer of the Week accolades, Memphis finished T3 in the Lady Red Wolf Classic. In the next week, the Lady Tigers posted their second-consecutive third-place finish after being led by rounds of 7674 from freshman Alex Aläng. In the final event of the season, Sarah Mathews posted rounds of 74-73 to tie for second individually and lead Memphis to a title at the UAB Fall Beach Blast. The victory was the first under second year head coach Beth Harrelson and the first for the program since the 2007 Conference USA Championship. Memphis struggled to a 15th place finish in the Hurricane Invitational in its first event of the spring, but bounced back by claiming victory in their next tournament, the USA Lady Jaguar Invitational. Marissa Steen carded scores of 75-73-74 to earn medalist honors and lead the Lady Tigers to their second victory of the season. Steen also received C-USA Golfer of the Week honors for her performance. Memphis then finished sixth at the Cincinnati Spring Invitational, where it posted scores of 312-308-305. Memphis narrowly missed claiming its third title of the season at the EKU Lady Colonel Classic, instead finishing second. Aläng led Memphis with a third place individual finish and earned C-USA Golfer of the Week honors. In the C-USA Championship, the Lady Tigers posted their hosted tournament total of the season (895) and the third lowest in school history to finish fourth.

Tiger Traditions
When the University of Memphis first fielded a football team in the fall of 1912, no one had selected a nickname for the squad. Early references to the football team tabbed them only as the Blue and Gray Warriors of West Tennessee Normal School. After the final game of the 1914 season, there was a student parade. During this event, several Normal students shouted, “We fight like Tigers.” The nickname was born. More and more the nickname “Tigers” was used, particularly in campus publications. But it did not catch on with the newspapers downtown. They continued to use “Normals” or the “Blue and Gray” when referring to the University. In the late 1920s, student publications and downtown newspapers began referring to the football team as the “Teachers” or “Tutors.” The Tiger nickname would return, but not until 1939 was it finally adopted as the official nickname for the University of Memphis. For over 35 years, the sideline mascot for the University of Memphis has been a Bengal Tiger named TOM. TOM attends all Tiger Football home games, and he can also be found at many other University events throughout the year. TOM travels in style in a custom-designed, climatecontrolled trailer, always with police escort. As one of only two universities in America with a live tiger mascot, The University of Memphis is unique in its Tiger Tradition. As a project of the Highland Hundred, no public or University funds are used to provide for TOM’s needs, and no University resources are required in his care. TOM is a powerful and majestic symbol of the University of Memphis, and his presence presents constant opportunities to educate Tiger fans young & old through the preservation of one of the world’s most recognizable endangered species.

The first Tiger, TOM, was procured by the Highland Hundred Football Boosters in 1972 and served the U of M faithfully for nearly 20 years until passing away in February of 1992. The Highland Hundred officially presented TOM to the University in a ceremony at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium on November 11, 1972, during a football game against the University of Cincinnati. TOM had initially been named ‘Shane’ at the suggestion of the breeder’s daughter. Once in Memphis, though, a contest was held to name the mascot. More than 2,500 entries were submitted. The list was ultimately reduced to two choices, Shane, and TOM, which stands for Tigers Of Memphis. TOM won. In the fall of 1991, the Highland Hundred Tiger Guard received TOM II as a gift from Tom and Carolyn Atchison of Florence, Alabama. TOM II would serve with pride for 17 years through 2008, passing away on October 15th of that year.

Go Tigers Go, Go On To Victory, Be A Winner Thru And Thru; Fight Tigers, Fight Cause We’re Going All The Way -Fight, Fight For The Blue And Gray And Say -Let’s Go Tigers Go, Go On To Victory. See Our Colors Bright And True; It’s Fight Now Without A Fear, Fight Now Let’s Shout A Cheer, Shout For Dear Memphis U. (Yell) Go Tigers Go Go Tigers Go Yea -- Tiger Go!
Shortly after TOM II’s death, the Tiger Guard began the search for a new tiger to serve as TOM III, and a stroke of good luck was realized in a discussion with the Wisconsin Big Cat Rescue & Educational Center in Rock Springs, Wis. Faced with three new cubs born August 31, 2008, after an unexpected pregnancy at their facility, founders Jeff Kozlowski and Jenny Meyer offered to donate one of their young tigers to serve as TOM III. TOM III was introduced at a press conference on November 17, 2008, and the Tiger Guard officially presented him to the University on November 22 during a football game against UCF.
The Logo The University of Memphis’ official logo was redesigned by Craig Thompson, from Disciple Design in Memphis, Tenn. The original logo was an MSU with a leaping Tiger coming out from behind the letter. The new logo is an “M” with a leaping Tiger coming up over the center of the “M.”
School Colors The University of Memphis’ official school colors of Blue and Gray were selected in the early 1900s. The colors were chosen in an effort to show unity in a nation that was still recovering from the effects of the Civil War. The student body thought that by picking the colors of the North and the South, the school would show a togetherness among all students.

However, music is just a chapter in the history as well as the future of the city located in the heart of Mid-America. Memphis, named after the capital of ancient Egypt, boasts all the amenities you would expect in a city with over 1 million residents, while retaining the charm and downto-earth feel of a small town. Downtown Memphis recently realized a building boom valued at $2.3 billion which transformed the heart of the city. One of the most visible projects was the construction of AutoZone Park, the downtown ballpark which is the home of the Memphis Redbirds, the St. Louis Cardinals’ Triple-A club. The 14,320seat stadium includes 1,500 club seats, 48 luxury suites and is located at the corner of Third Street and Union Avenue across from the world-famous Peabody Hotel. The city’s newest downtown project is FedExForum, an entertainment arena that houses both the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association and the University of Memphis men’s basketball team. The $250 million state-of-the-art arena features a 35,000-square-foot outdoor plaza where fans of all ages can gather before an event. The arena has over 100 points of sale for concession stands and four full-service restaurants. FedExForum is located one block south of Beale Street. Memphis’ musical roots can be traced to band leader W.C. Handy, who wrote the first blues song here in 1909, a campaign theme for Memphis mayor “Boss” Crump called “Boss Crump Blues” and later published as the “The Memphis Blues.” The sound soon caught on and blues bands filled the clubs along Beale. Young musicians who have performed along Beale include Muddy Waters, Furry Lewis, Albert King, Bobby “Blue” Bland and B.B. King. Beale Street has rapidly become the entertainment center of Memphis and visitors and locals alike enjoy the food and music offered in the various nightclubs. Where Beale Street meets the Mississippi River is Tom Lee Park, site of the annual Beale Street Music Festival. The weekendlong event is just a part of the month-long Memphis in May International Festival which also includes the World Championship Barbecue Cooking Contest and the Sunset Symphony. Located within a block of Beale is Gibson Guitar Memphis, which includes factory tours and cultural exhibits. Across the street is the Smithsonian’s Rock ‘n’ Soul Museum located at the FedExForum, which includes artifacts documenting music’s past. Memphis’ musical roots also include Stax and Hi-Records as well as Sun Records recording studio. Stax became known for “sweet soul music” through such artists as

For almost a century the University of Memphis has been a catalyst for progress in the city of Memphis, the state of Tennessee and the surrounding Mid-South region. From its inception as a normal school dedicated to the education of public school teachers, to its role today as an educator of technologicallysavvy graduates who face a complex world, the University of Memphis has always fulfilled its current mission while looking forward to and planning for its future. Exceptional students from Tennessee, from every other state in the nation and from almost 100 countries around the world choose to attend the University of Memphis. They come here on the recommendation of their major professors at European universities; they come here to study subjects that are offered nowhere else; they come to study alongside men and women who are recognized and respected throughout the academic and scientific communities as foremost in their fields. Ever forward-looking, the University of Memphis is poised to enter one of its most historic and productive periods. From the faculty and staff we have in place to our alumni and benefactors, our “people assets” have never been more willing, able and generous in their efforts to build an academic environment that makes a life-long impact on the young minds at the U of M. The University of Memphis was founded under the auspices of the General Education Bill, enacted by the Tennessee Legislature in 1909. Known originally as West Tennessee State Normal School, the institution opened its doors Sept. 10, 1912, with Dr. Seymour A. Mynders as president. Students in the first classes selected blue and gray as the school colors and the tiger as the mascot. Tradition holds that the colors, those of the opposing armies during the Civil War, were chosen in commemoration of the reuniting of the country after that divisive conflict. Over the next decade, The Desoto yearbook was created, the first library was opened in the Administration Building, the first dining hall was built and the first men’s dorm was built; today that dorm, Scates Hall, houses the College of Arts and Sciences’ Dean’s offices. In 1925 the name of the college changed to West Tennessee State Teachers College. Three years later, the Brister Library was built, named after two-term president John W. Brister. In 1931 the students created a campus newspaper, The Tiger Rag; and in 1935 the school’s agriculture department was discontinued. The college changed names again in 1941, becoming Memphis State College, and in 1946, J. Millard “Jack” Smith became president - the first alumnus to hold the position. In 1950 graduate studies were initiated, and in 1954 the school switched from a quarter to

a semester system. In 1957 the state legislature designated Memphis State full university status. In 1959 the university admitted its first African American students, and the first doctoral programs began in 1966. The 1970s, under President Cecil C. Humphreys, saw new buildings constructed across the campus, including a University Center and a 12-story library. In 1983 MSU became the first public university in Tennessee to gain accreditation of its entire curriculum. The 1990s were characterized by another name change and another building boom. In 1994 MSU became the University of Memphis, and the Ned R. McWherter Library was completed. Moving into the 21st century, the Kemmons Wilson School of Hospitality and Resort Management and the FedEx Institute of Technology have made their mark on the University landscape. Today, the University of Memphis is one of Tennessee’s three comprehensive doctoral-extensive institutions of higher learning. Situated in a beautiful park-like setting in the state’s largest city, it is the flagship of the Tennessee Board of Regents system. It awards more than 3,000 degrees annually. With an enrollment of approximately 21,000 students, The University of Memphis has 24 Chairs of Excellence, more than any other Tennessee university, and five stateapproved Centers of Excellence.

Page 30
R.C. Johnson came aboard in February of 1996 and immediately set forth in bringing U of M Tiger athletics into national prominence. Over the last 14 years, the dynamic administrator has built Tiger Athletics into a nationally-recognized program that has been to five bowl games in the last eight years and played for the Men’s Basketball National Championship title in 2007-08. In addition, for the last 11 straight years, donations to the department have continued to rise, and on June 30, 2010, a record-setting $7.3 million was announced by the Tiger Scholarship Fund. Also in the last seven years under Johnson, the Tigers have captured 15 total C-USA championships in men’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, women’s golf and men’s track. The men’s basketball program has garnered five regular-season titles (2004, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009) and four C-USA Tournament championships (2006, 2007, 2008, 2009), while the women’s soccer program claimed four consecutive league championships from 2007-10. Johnson is currently spearheading his second major capital campaign which benefits nearly every area of the Tiger Athletic Department. Included in the $12.9 million project is a new addition to the Athletic Office Building, a weight room and turf practice field for Tiger Football, a redesign of the Tiger baseball stadium that was unveiled for the 2010 season, the completed golf practice facility, a renovation of the Finch Center men’s basketball practice facility, a renovation of the women’s basketball and volleyball locker rooms and the Anfernee Hardaway Hall of Fame to honor Tiger athletes. Johnson’s first capital campaign was previously the largest fund-raising effort in the history of Memphis athletics. The $8 million campaign included a new 8,000-square-foot football and basketball office complex addition, a new basketball

practice facility, which is still considered one of the best in the country, and a complete renovation of the Murphy Athletic Complex. During his tenure, Johnson has created the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, the Tiger Scholarship Fund Board of Directors and the Athletic Director’s Ambassador’s Club. The Ambassador’s Club, which started with two members in 1997, has reached an all-time high of 41 members under Johnson. A significant revenue source for Tiger Athletics, members of the Ambassador’s Club pledge to commit $500,000. In June 2007, Johnson inked a lucrative long-term contract extension with Learfield Sports, which enabled Tiger Sports Properties to retain the multimedia rights for Memphis Athletics through 2017. The Tigers signed on with Learfield Sports in 2001, granting the partner radio and television rights, athletic venue signage, game day promotions and sponsorships, as well as the official athletic department website. Terms for the contract call for the Tigers to receive a financial guarantee each year of the agreement and to participate in annual revenue sharing. In 2008, the U of M entered into a five-year, $11.3 million partnership with Nike to provide shoes, apparel and equipment for all Tiger athletic teams. A believer in academic excellence as well as athletic success and national prominence, Johnson leads a department that set a school record with 51 percent of its student-athletes achieving a 3.0 or higher during the spring 2010 semester. For the most recent academic year, which includes fall 2009 and spring 2010, 339 studentathletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA and eight had a 4.0 for the year and 33 others had a 4.0 either in the fall or spring. For the spring 2010 semester, the athletic department as a whole posted its highest GPA ever with a 2.94 and 23 studentathletes garnered a 4.0 GPA. In May 2010, 48 athletes earned their degrees, marking the largest group for one ceremony since 2002 when the athletic academic services department began keeping record.
Before taking over Tiger Athletics, Johnson was responsible for directing a Temple program with more than 500 student-athletes in 20 men’s and women’s intercollegiate sports, including nationally-visible programs in men’s basketball and football. He was named Temple’s director of athletics on May 9, 1994, after serving nearly six years as director of athletics at Miami (Ohio) University. He had also previously led the department at Eastern Illinois from 1980-88, and was the associate athletic director at Northern Iowa from 1974-80. A former football coach himself, Johnson served as an assistant at Mankato State University from 1968-74.
