Swimming Swimming
2009-10 Season Preview Head coach Adam Kennedy proved he was capable of taking over a program and making dramatic leaps toward a successful future. In his first year with the Tigers, Kennedy inherited a women’s squad of 12 swimmers, which he described was like “playing with 3.5 people in a basketball game.” Picked to finish fifth in the Big West Conference, this team surpassed the preseason expectations, with a third place finish at the Big West Conference Championships in February 2009. The girls made success happen with their spirit and dedication. The Pacific swim team also had a competitor at the NCAA Championships. Senior Jenny Lewis represented Pacific in two events, the 50 Free and the 100 Back. She swam a 22.81 in the 50 Free to take 51st place and took 61st for her time of 55.51 in the 100 Back. With the departure of Lewis and three other seniors, Kennedy recruited nine new swimmers to fill their spots and increase the size of the women’s roster. “The incoming student-athletes, as a group, have a limitless potential and will start to make an immediate impact on this program as we look to build on our improvement in the Big West Conference,” said Kennedy of the new additions. Strong returning seniors, KC Albiston (Salt Lake City, Utah), Brooke Cashion (Irvine, Calif.), Melissa McGhee (Elk Grove, Calif.), and Devonie Migues (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.) will bring experience and talent to lead this team to a winning season. Free: Of the returning swimmers, sophomore Jayme Swalin (Kenmore, Wash.) and seniors Migues and Albiston look to be strong competitors in freestyle. Freshmen Jenna Chaplin (Nassau, Bahamas), Laurie White (Jacksonville, Fla.), Becca Wyant (Redmond, Wash.), Megan Machynia (Valencia, Calif.), junior Maggie Eicks (Houston, Texas) and transfer sophomore Ellen Barton (Modesto, Calif.) will add depth to the distance freestyle races. Swalin led the way in her freshman season, as she had the top time of the 2008-09 season in the 200 Free, 500 Free, 1000 Free, and the 1650 Free. She also entered the record books taking over the No. 2 spot in the 1000 Free with a time of 9:58.52 and the 1650 Free with a time of 16:47.60. With a time of 4:50.95, Swalin captured the No. 3 spot in the 500 Free. Albistion, the 2007 and 2008 champion in the 1650, hopes to have another year of dominate distance swimming. The Tigers look to her to continue this trend during the 2009-10 season. Fly: McGhee and Elena Walterman (Framingham, Mass.) are back to compete in the Butterfly events for the Tigers. They will be joined by newcomers Chaplin, Chloe Lai (Mission Viejo, Calif.), Wyant, Laurie White (Jacksonville, Fla.) and Allie Vetterlein (Seattle, Wash.). At the Big West Championships, McGhee took the No. 5 spot in the 200 Fly with a time of 2:01.92. Walterman took over the No. 3 spot in the 100 Fly with a time of 55.31 and took ninth in the 200 Fly with a time of 2:04.59. These swimmers hope to shatter even more records this year. Back: Losing Lewis and Jun Huang to graduation, the Tigers will look to Migues and McGhee to lead the way in backstroke events. Migues had the third best time in the 100 Back last season and McGhee had the third-best in the 200 Back. Freshman Wyant will join these Tiger seniors for the Back events. Breast: In the breast stroke, the Tigers have a solid group of swimmers. Top returner, Migues, scored fourth at the Big West Championships in the 200 Breast with a time of 2:19.67. Sophomore Lia Santini (Bothell, Wash.), who had the second fastest time in the 100 Breast, will be looking to add upon her strong freshman season. Migues and Santini will be joined teammates, Swalin and freshmen, Coles, Lai, and Mallory McGowan (Colusa, Calif.). IM: The two top swimmers in the 200 IM and 400 IM are returning for their senior season. With her time a time of 2:02.56 in the 200 IM, Migues became third in Pacific’s all-time records. McGhee entered the record books as sixth in the 200 IM, posting a time of 2:03.64 and third in the 400 IM with a time of 4:18.37. McGhee’s time in the 400 IM has made her the reigning conference champion in the event. With 4:25.29, Albiston had the second fastest time of in the 400 IM for the Tigers, and will be looking to post strong times along with Walterman, Swalin, and Santini. Zoe Coles (Vallejo, Calif.), Vetterlein, Wyant, Lai, and Machynia all hope to make an inpact during their freshman season. The Tigers have the opportunity to make a great showing this season. The veterans along with the talented newcomers will be strong competition this year, as they look to improve upon last year’s third-place finish.

The University Pamela A. Eibeck University President
Pamela A. Eibeck became the 24th President of University of the Pacific on July 1, 2009. She is Pacific’s sixth President since the University moved to Stockton in 1924 and the first woman to hold the office. Her Presidency follows a distinguished career as a researcher, teacher, educational reformer, and university administrator. Prior to joining Pacific, Eibeck was dean of the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering at Texas Tech—one of the nation’s largest engineering colleges with 4,400 students, 156 faculty and five research centers. There, she was responsible for eight academic departments, 33 degree programs and a $55 million budget. An active fundraiser, Eibeck helped build an endowment of $57 million and doubled the number of endowed chairs.
Founded in 1851 as the first chartered university in California, University of the Pacific continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the finest academic institutions in the West. The main Stockton campus, with its expansive lawns and brick-and-ivy architecture, much like many renowned universities in the East, is highly regarded as one of the most picturesque college campuses in the West. The only private school in the Big West Conference, Pacific offers a diversity of programs that would normally be associated with a much larger university. Personal attention and small class sizes have become Pacific trademarks and help attract students from many U.S. states and foreign countries. Pacific provides its 6,235 scholars a student-to-faculty ratio of less than 13-to-1. Pacific is comprised of 11 schools and colleges on three campuses, offering students the distinctive advantage of nearby resources. Two professional schools complement the Stockton campus: the School of Dentistry in San Francisco and the McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. The Stockton campus features the central liberal arts division, College of the Pacific and schools of music, engineering, education, pharmacy, business & public administration, international studies, the Graduate School and University College. Pacific students are represented on many policy-making committees, and the Associated Students (ASUOP) play an active role in campus life through social and cultural programs. The Stockton metropolitan area, with a population of over 280,000, is nestled conveniently in the San Joaquin Valley between San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Pacific offers its students a proximity to many exciting places including Monterey/Carmel, Lake Tahoe, the northern California wine country, and Yosemite National Park. It is adjacent to over 1,000 miles of waterways, making it the largest inland seaport in the state.
THE PACIFIC EXPERIENCE
• Over 80 major fields from which to choose, yet an average class size of under 20, even in the freshman year. • NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics as well as numerous club and intramural sports. • Exposure to a wide range of knowledge through the General Education program, and hundreds of opportunities for gaining “handson” experience in a chosen field. • A strong liberal arts tradition within key academic units including business, conservatory, education, engineering, international studies, and pharmacy.
Eibeck takes the helm at a University with strong enrollments and finances, and the best incoming student academic profile in its history. With a record number of applications for Fall 2009, university enrollment is expected to remain steady at around 6,250 with a 20-point jump in the average admitted freshmen SAT score to 1200. Construction continues on two major buildings: the $7.5 million Janssen-Lagorio Multipurpose Gymnasium and the $10 million John T. Chambers Technology Center, and the last fiscal year closed with a surplus for the 13th consecutive year. While spending time to get know Pacific in her first year, Eibeck has committed to building on these strengths by continuing to enhance educational quality, build national visibility, and deepen the University’s involvement in community engagement. Eibeck received her bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in mechanical engineering between 1979 and 1986 from Stanford University. She joined the faculty at the University of California at Berkeley, where she earned tenure and served from 1985 to 1995. In 1995, she became a professor and chair of mechanical engineering at Northern Arizona University, where she later served as director of the honors program and then vice provost for undergraduate studies. In 2004, Eibeck was named dean of the college of engineering at Texas Tech. An expert in heat transfer, Eibeck conducted experimental research related to electronics cooling and thermal tiles used by NASA on the space shuttles. Her later work focused on engineering educational reform, including early use of multimedia in the classroom, curriculum development and, most recently, ways to attract young people and women to the profession. She has authored or co-authored nearly 50 articles and papers. Eibeck became a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2008. She received the Distinguished Engineering Educator Award from the Society of Women Engineers in 1996 and the Boeing Outstanding Educator Award in 1999. Eibeck is married to William D. Jeffery, a law professor and a native of California. They have four children. Sons Andrew and Kevin live in the Bay Area. Daughter Katherine attends the University of Southern California. Their youngest son, Will, attends Santa Clara University.

• An intercultural perspective that prepares students for working in an increasingly diverse and international society. • Students sit on many decision-making committees of the University to ensure that the voice of the students is heard. • A New England-like campus in northern California. • With more than 6,000 students enrolled, Pacific is one of the smallest universities to be ranked among the top 100 national universities, both by US News & World Report and the The Washington Monthly College Guide.
The University
Pacific’s Mission The University of the Pacific's mission is to provide a superior, student-centered learning experience integrating liberal arts and professional education and preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities. The first chartered institution of higher education in the State of California, the University of the Pacific is a mid-sized independent, comprehensive university offering a wide choice of high-quality undergraduate and graduate programs in Stockton, Sacramento, and San Francisco. Pacific is an outstanding blend of the advantages of the diverse programs of a major university and the broad, highly personalized learning of the selective liberal arts college. We accomplish our mission through highly personalized programs delivered in a caring, supportive, and attractive environment. We seek to develop and strengthen self-confidence, initiative, analytical and problem-solving abilities, and an enthusiasm for learning. Central to our mission is the dedication of our faculty and staff to excellence in teaching and advising. We encourage and support research, scholarship and creative activity as complements to our fundamental mission of teaching. Our mission dictates a commitment to leadership development, global awareness, community involvement and opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds. We are committed to providing practical experiences to complement classroom learning. Highly interactive student-faculty relations and a broad array of co-curricular activities that help to develop students' abilities are hallmarks of learning at the University of the Pacific. How old is Pacific? We became California’s first chartered institution of higher education in 1851. We were also the first coed university (the first graduating class had five men and five women). We celebrated our sesquicentennial year in 2001.
What type of university is Pacific? Pacific is a comprehensive university with three campuses and eleven schools and colleges. Eight of our schools and colleges provide undergraduate education on the Stockton campus, including a college of liberal arts and sciences (College of the Pacific), six professional schools and an adult re-entry division. The Stockton campus also has a graduate school. The other two campuses are the Pacific McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento and the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco.
Is Pacific a religious or church-related university? No. Pacific was founded by and is affiliated with the Methodist Church. We do have a chapel, a full-time chaplain, a number of religious-oriented clubs, and a Department of Religious Studies, but we are not a “religious” university where students are required to attend chapel or to take religion classes. Any or all of the above are available to students who are interested, but participation in such activities is completely voluntary.
Is Pacific accredited? Pacific is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and many academic programs have additional accreditation by appropriate professional organizations.

Academics are Number One at the University of the Pacific, and Pacific is proud of its student-athletes’ performances in the classroom. In addition to having some truly outstanding individual scholar-athletes, Pacific currently boasts a graduation rate of over 96 percent for all recruited student-athletes who exhaust their athletic eligibility. During the spring semester of 2008, Pacific student-athletes posted a combined grade point average of 3.0. Pacific is annually represented on Big West Academic All-Conference teams, Academic AllAmerica teams, and boasts NCAA Post-Graduate Scholars in several sports. For the 2008-09 academic year, Pacific honored 102 Big West Conference Scholar-Athletes. In order to qualify for the distinction, student-athletes must record a 3.0 grade point average over their two most recently completed semesters. Freshmen are required to attain a 3.2 grade point average over one semester to earn the accolade.
Pacific attributes its success in the classroom to two primary factors. First, Pacific recruits only student-athletes who it believes can succeed at the University and who have a sincere commitment to a higher education. Second, it provides outstanding support services to students. An integral resource of support is a faculty committed to helping students obtain an education and to graduate, and who often tutor student-athletes one-on-one. Pacific intercollegiate athletics has a comprehensive academic achievement program for its student-athletes, including counseling, tutoring, monitoring services, leadership and life skills training, computer resources, and a set of standards and procedures outlined in the student-athlete handbook. Supervised study periods are provided, and a system of grade checks is in place to identify problem areas and ensure immediate attention. At Pacific, the “four-year” degree is no myth. Faculty and counseling resources help keep student-athletes

Administration Director of Athletics
Lynn K ing
Lynn King is in his 10th year as director of athletics for University of the Pacific. He began his tenure in March 2000. During his time at Pacific, King has seen the Tigers claim 16 Big West Conference team titles. Pacific has also made 28 NCAA Championship appearances under King’s guidance. In King’s first year at Pacific, the Tigers ranked first among NCAA Division I-AAA schools in the national Sears Directors Cup standings in 2000-01, surpassing all 78 other non-football Division I universities. The Tigers have also excelled in the classroom since King’s arrival, boasting six CoSida Academic All-Americans and 37 CoSida Academic All-District Team athletes since 2000-01. In 2002-03 alone, four Pacific teams were recognized with national team academic awards “Lynn King has provided our athletic depar tment with tremendous leadership and direction. Pacific Athletics have reached new levels of success both athletically and academically,” said former President Donald V. DeRosa. King is currently leading Pacific on a campaign to build two new facilities (a multipurpose gymnasium [the Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium] for athletics and recreation and a tennis clubhouse), expand the Alex G. Spanos Center to include an athletics Hall of Fame and substantially increase the athletics endowment. This campaign is already well underway as construction of Klein Family Field and renovations to Chris Kjeldsen Pool have been completed. In addition, construction of the Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium is scheduled for completion at the beginning of the 2009-10 academic year. Before coming to Pacific, King chaired the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s track and field subcommittee from 1995 to 1999 and served as Drake’s director of intercollegiate athletics since 1990. Under the leadership of King, Drake’s Bulldog Scholarship Fund grew in both record numbers and money pledged in support of Drake athletics. Among his accomplishments at Drake, King played a major role in raising $12.5 million for design and construction of the 7,000-seat Knapp Multi Purpose Center. King also spearheaded successful efforts that enabled Drake’s athletics program to be officially certified by the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certification in the spring of 1998. The certification followed the committee’s review of Drake’s athletics program self-study and review of a report by a peer-review team that visited the campus in November of 1997. King previously served as director of intercollegiate athletics for University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh and assistant athletic director for facilities at the University of Northern Iowa, of which he is an alumnus. King began his career as head coach for men’s track and cross country, first at Rochester Community College and then at University of Northern Iowa, where he was also an instructor of health and physical education. While at Northern Iowa he coached 11 conference team champions, 25 All-Americans and two national champions. He was named regional or conference coach of the year 10 times and referee of the Drake Relays in 1984. King earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physical education. In October of 2008, he was inducted into the Northern Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame. He was a member of the executive committee and a director of the Greater Des Moines Sports Authority, a director of the Iowa Games board, and the 1995 National Junior Olympics Organizing Committee. He and his wife, Jan, are parents of two adult children, Jason, and Kelly.
