HEAD COACH JEFF “CJ” WERNEKE Jeff “CJ” Werneke is set to begin his second season at the helm of the Rutgers women’s volleyball program in 2009. After a successful stint at Fairfield, Werneke arrived ‘On the Banks’ in 2008 with hopes of building a strong volleyball foundation at Rutgers.
In his first season at RU, Werneke led an extremely young Scarlet Knights squad through a demanding schedule that included 17 road games and 14 BIG EAST contests. Although the Scarlet Knights garnered only two wins on the year, the experience that the youthful squad gained could prove to be vastly important in the future. Prior to his first season as head coach at Rutgers, Werneke had an extremely successful tenure at Fairfield where he left as the school’s all-time winningest coach. In 2007, Werneke broke the 100-win plateau for his career and currently has a 113-108 overall record. He was named the 2006 and 2007 MAAC Coach of the Year, and led the Stags to four consecutive MAAC regular season titles. In 2007, Fairfield finished with a 21-13 overall record and a 17-1 mark in conference play.
Werneke also coached 11 All-MAAC honorees, two MAAC Rookies of the Year, a MAAC Offensive Player of the Year and back-to back Setters of the Year while with the Stags.
Before heading to Fairfield, Werneke served as an assistant coach at Rutgers from 1999-2001 under Anne Leonard-House. While an assistant at Rutgers, Werneke served as the recruiting coordinator, handled all scouting, game day operations and travel operations. Werneke has also coached at East Tennessee State, Samford and the University of Montevallo. Werneke has a one-year old daughter, Rylie, and is married to the former Jennifer Smith.

VOLLEYBALL STAFF ASSISTANT COACH JASON DONNELLY
Jason Donnelly will begin his second year as an assistant coach of the Rutgers volleyball program in 2009.
In his first season ‘On the Banks’, Donnelly’s commitment to the program was evident as the entire staff looks to continue building a strong volleyball foundation at Rutgers.
Prior to his arrival at RU, Donnelly spent 12 years coaching at Laguna Blanca School in Santa Barbara, Calif. Additionally, Donnelly was the head coach for the very successful Santa Barbara Volleyball Club for 10 seasons. Donnelly’s 2007 team participated in the American Division of the Junior
Olympics in Minneapolis, Minn.
“Jason’s energy and passion for the game will only help our program achieve what we are capable of,” said head coach CJ Werneke. Donnelly, who graduated with a psychology degree from University of the Pacific in 1996, played four years of Division I men’s volleyball for the Tigers. While at Laguna Blanca, Donnelly led the boy’s volleyball program to seven Condor League titles. As the girl’s coach, Donnelly won six Condor League titles and was honored with the High School Coach of the Year award by the Santa Barbara Roundtable in 2006. His duties included scheduling, hiring of coaches, practice planning and game management.
ASSISTANT COACH LINDSEY LEE Lindsey Lee enters her second season ‘On the Banks’ after a decorated playing career under head coach CJ Werneke at Fairfield. "I am very excited about adding Lindsey Lee to our coaching staff," said Werneke. "I have known Lindsey since she was a junior in high school and after coaching her for four years at Fairfield, I know she will bring plenty to our program’s future. Not only will she bring her knowledge and passion for the game to our staff, but her competiveness will be a major asset to our program."
Lee was a four-year standout at the outside hitter position for Fairfield. The Hilo, Hawaii native was the MAAC Rookie of the Year and named first team all-conference in 2004. During her junior campaign, Lee was named the MAAC Offensive Player of the Year and was once again a first team all-conference selection. She ended her career as the Stags record holder in both digs (1,647) and digs per game (3.88). She was only the fifth player in school history to record 1,000 kills and 1,000 digs. Additionally, Lee has gained valuable coaching experience working with girls, ages 12-17, at Nike Volleyball Camps in Fairfield, Conn. She has also worked with junior players in her hometown of Hilo.

2009 SEASON OUTLOOK
With a roster dominated by upperclassmen and a freshman class that received national recognition, the Scarlet Knights are anxious to get the 2009 season underway.
Rutgers returns five starters and its libero. The remaining core will be joined by a recruiting class that earned a High Honorable Mention from PrepVolleyball.com in its annual recruiting rankings. Second-year head coach CJ Werneke and his staff brings in their first full recruiting class and it consists of four standout players from across the country, including Under Armour Second Team Senior All-American Stephanie Zielinski. “All four newcomers have played volleyball at a high level since they were young,” said Werneke. “We won’t treat them as freshmen but as volleyball players. We expect them to come in, contribute and help us get where we want to be with this program. They will lay a great foundation for the future.” Setters Kallie Pence led the team in assists (383) last year as a freshman and looks to be the frontrunner at the setter position this season. The coaching staff expects highly touted newcomer Zielinski to also be in the mix. Zielinski comes to Rutgers after starting all four years at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The setter was selected as the captain of her team during her junior and senior seasons and was named the 2008 Broward County Volleyball Player of the Year. “We have high expectations for Kallie and Stephanie this year,” said Werneke. “We are looking for a challenge in that spot. We have two young talented setters and that is something we are excited about this season.” Outside Hitters Coach Werneke expects a battle at the outside hitter position because it is easily the most experienced spot for the Scarlet Knights. Seniors Kyra Thompson and Victoria Thomas along with juniors Emma Chrystal, Katie Groff, Caitlin Saxton and Lauren Voss will give the Scarlet Knights a variety of options at the outside hitter. Chrystal ranked third on the team in kills (104), assists (23) and total blocks (27) last season. She is expected to play the right side as she trained for that spot during the spring. “Emma improved and did some great things during the spring,” said Werneke. “Her ability to play at multiple positions gives us some versatility.” Saxton put together an impressive campaign in her first year as a Scarlet Knight in 2008. She was one of two Scarlet Knights, along with Jamie Godfrey, to compete in all 77 games. The Encinitas, Calif. native led the team in kills with 209 posting a remarkable 2.71 kills per game average. Saxton served a teambest 16 aces.
Middle Blockers Coach Werneke was pleased with the progress at the middle blocker position. Werneke believes the players at the position increased their strength and became more familiar with the pace of the game. Senior Sophie Cook, junior Katie Barends and sophomore Hannah Curtis will see action at the middle blocker position. Barends was second on team in total blocks (43) last season and led the team with 11 solo swats. Werneke is particularly intrigued by Curtis’ progress as he believes the “sky is the limit” with her potential. “Hannah is only going to get better and better during her time here,” Werneke said. “She will only add to the competition at the position which is what we want.” Alex Jones is also expected to see playing time at the middle blocker spot this season. She was a First Team All-District performer in each of her last three years at Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake, Va. Libero/Defensive Specialists Senior Jamie Godfrey has been a staple at the libero position the past three seasons for the Scarlet Knights. The Rahway, N.J. native competed in all 77 games last season and led the team in digs for the second straight year (222). “Godfrey is the frontrunner at that position but any of the players on the outside can play or win that spot,” Werneke said. “The position is wide open.” Incomer Kelsey Ross will also see some time at that position. She played four years at Miramonte High School and was named DFAL All-League in both 2007 and 2008.

RICHARD L. McCORMICK PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY Richard L. McCormick is the 19th president of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. A scholar of American political history who began his academic career on the Rutgers faculty, he returned as president in 2002 after serving as provost of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and president of the University of Washington. Dr. McCormick’s goal is to advance Rutgers within the top tier of American public research universities. His ambitions for the university include an enriched learning experience for every student; teaching and research focused on global human problems; diversity of students, faculty, staff, and programs; and deeper connections with the people of New Jersey. President McCormick led a major restructuring and reinvigoration of undergraduate education at Rutgers-New Brunswick, the university’s largest campus. The plan, approved in 2006, merged four undergraduate colleges into a School of Arts and Sciences, expanded access to academic programs and learning communities, and established a popular First-Year Seminar program that offers more than 100 courses – each with no more than 20 students – on a wide range of topics taught by top faculty. Other initiatives undertaken during Dr. McCormick’s tenure include: • Establishment of the first-ever universitywide alumni body, the Rutgers University Alumni Association. • Rutgers Against Hunger, an initiative that combines volunteerism, research, education, and donations to address food security in the state of New Jersey. • The Rutgers Future Scholars Program, a pilot project to encourage minority and low-income teenagers from the university’s host cities to pursue higher education by offering mentorship and college preparation support, and the promise of free tuition to those admitted to Rutgers. • Rutgers-Camden’s first-ever doctoral-level academic program, a Ph.D. in childhood studies – the first in the nation in this emerging discipline. • Establishment of the School of Public Affairs and Administration, Rutgers-Newark’s first new school in more than three decades. Born in 1947, President McCormick earned a B.A. in American studies from Amherst College in 1969 and a Ph.D. in history from Yale University in 1976. He is married to Joan Barry McCormick, RU ’88. She is a Vice President at the Saint Peter’s Healthcare System in New Brunswick. Dr. McCormick has two children, Betsy and Michael.
A BRIEF HISTORY
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is one of the leading universities in the nation. The university is comprised of 27 degree-granting divisions; 10 undergraduate colleges, 11 graduate schools, and six schools offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Five are located in Camden, eight in Newark, and 13 in New Brunswick and one in Newark and New Brunswick. Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. Chartered in 1766 as Queen's College, the eighth institution of higher learning to be founded in the colonies, the school opened its doors in New Brunswick in 1771 with a handful of first-year students. During its early years, the college developed as a classic liberal arts institution. In 1825, the name of the college was changed to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers. Rutgers College became the land-grant college of New Jersey in 1864, resulting in the establishment of the Rutgers Scientific School, featuring departments of agriculture, engineering, and chemistry. Further expansion in the sciences came with the founding of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station in 1880, the College of Engineering (now the School of Engineering) in 1914, and the College of Agriculture (now the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) in 1921. The precursors to several other Rutgers divisions were also established during this period: the College of Pharmacy (now the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy) in 1892, the New Jersey College for Women (now part of the School of Arts and Sciences) in 1918, and the School of Education in 1924. In 1924, Rutgers College officially became Rutgers University, a reflection of the institution’s rapidly expanding number of schools and academic programs. Early in the century, Rutgers had begun offering educational opportunities to women when the New Jersey College for Women (later Douglass College and now part of the School of Arts and Sciences) was founded in 1918, and to adult learners when University College was established in 1934. After World War II, enrollment exploded as Rutgers admitted all qualified candidates under the GI Bill. Rutgers was becoming an institution for all people, and in 1945 and 1956, state legislative acts formally designated Rutgers as The State University of New Jersey. A flurry of expansion ensued. The University of Newark (now Rutgers–Newark) joined Rutgers in 1946, followed by the College of South Jersey (now Rutgers–Camden) in 1950. An ambitious building program added libraries, classrooms, and student housing across the three regional campuses. In 1969, Livingston College opened, providing a coeducational residential experience with a special commitment to diversity. Graduate education in the arts and sciences grew through the establishment of the Graduate School–New Brunswick, the Graduate School–Newark, and the Graduate School–Camden. Professional schools were formed to serve students in the fields of business; communication, information, and library studies; criminal justice; education; fine arts; law; management and labor relations; nursing; planning and public policy; psychology; public affairs and administration; and social work. Meanwhile, as industry and government sought partners in solving problems and advancing knowledge, the concept of the research university emerged. In 1981, Rutgers adopted a blueprint for its transformation into a major public research university. With increased support from state, federal, and corporate partners, Rutgers’ strength in research grew dramatically. In 1989, in recognition of its enhanced stature, Rutgers was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an organization comprising the top 62 research universities in North America. Today, professors and students work in more than 180 specialized research centers, unraveling mysteries in marine sciences, early childhood education, neuroscience, advanced materials, climate change, nutrition, homeland security, transportation, stem cells, and many other areas that can improve life both in New Jersey and around the world. A 2007 major reorganization of undergraduate education in New Brunswick reinvigorated the undergraduate experience for both students and faculty by combining the traditions and strengths of four undergraduate liberal arts colleges—Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and University—into a single School of Arts and Sciences. With 27 schools and colleges, Rutgers offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 100 graduate and professional degree programs. The university graduates more than 10,000 students each year, and has more than 350,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states and on six continents. Rutgers also sponsors community initiatives in all 21 New Jersey counties. University-wide, new degree programs, research endeavors, and community outreach are in development to meet the demands of the 21st century. Today, Rutgers continues to grow, both in its facilities and in the variety and depth of its educational and research programs. The university's goals for the future include the continued provision of the highest quality education, along with the increased support of research and commitment to public service to meet the needs of society.

TIM
PERNETTI
DIRECTOR OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS A lifetime New Jersey native with a strong passion for his alma mater, Tim Pernetti has come fullcircle in becoming one of the nation’s youngest leaders in college athletics. A former studentathlete “On the Banks”, Pernetti was named Rutgers’ sixth Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on February 26, 2009. He will oversee 24 men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams in New Brunswick, a larger number than fielded at most of the university’s peer institutions. The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics has 212 employees and an annual budget of approximately $56 million, roughly 3 percent of the university’s total $1.8 billion budget. Pernetti has been influential in the world of college athletics since he received a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass media from Rutgers in 1993, and a master’s degree in communication in 1995. Prior to returning to Rutgers, Pernetti was the Executive Vice President, Content, for CBS College Sports Network. In that role, he oversaw the rights and relationship business, on-air talent, and all network programming and content on air, online and across all screens for the nation’s first company dedicated to college sports. Pernetti helped to build the CBS College Sports Network, previously CSTV, prior to its launch in 2003, and has played a critical role in establishing it as the multi-media leader in college sports programming, content, news and information. He was a recipient of the prestigious Sports Business Journal Forty under Forty Award, and the Multichannel News 40 under 40 Award both in 2008. Charged with developing relationships, acquiring rights and creating multi-platform original programming for the first ever 24-hour sports college sports network, Pernetti successfully navigated through a complicated web of media rights deals to come up with new ways to serve college sports fans. Pernetti worked closely with the NCAA and hundreds of schools in every major conference, securing over 2,500 hours of event programming each year and multiple NCAA Championships across 35 men’s and women’s sports. Pernetti was in charge of the CBS College Sports Network exclusive long-term agreements with the US Naval Academy, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, and the Atlantic 10. Further, he managed company relationships with more than 30 conferences and thousands of institutions. Pernetti remains most proud of establishing a strong relationship in women’s collegiate sports including the establishment of a women’s basketball game of the week package in 2004 with the BIG EAST Conference. In 2006, Pernetti spearheaded a landmark multi-media partnership with the NCAA to make CBS College Sports Network the home of Division II Sports. The innovative deal effectively increased the scope and reach of NCAA Division II sports with hundreds of games now available nationally via the broadcast network and online.
Pernetti’s commitment to providing greater exposure to women’s and under-served sports is evidenced by the network’s unprecedented coverage of lacrosse and volleyball, among others. He has also been at the forefront of the development and creation of the Collegiate Nationals, which crowns champions in dozens of high endurance sports, and innovative original production including CBS College Sports Network’s groundbreaking NCAA March Madness Central, NCAA March Madness Highlights on CBS College Sports, and the WIRED franchise which gives viewers an inside look at games and events through wireless microphones on coaches during game action. Prior to joining CBS College Sports Network, Pernetti served eight years at ABC-TV and ABC Sports most recently as Director of Programming, where he was integral in acquiring, managing and developing several ABC Sports properties including college football, the Bowl Championship Series, and college basketball. For five years, Pernetti handled relationships and negotiated television rights with all of the major collegiate conferences. As a student at Rutgers, Pernetti was a four-year letterwinner at tight end on the Rutgers football squad. He was also the color commentator for Rutgers Football on the Rutgers Football Radio Network and announced weekly NFL games nationally on Sports USA Radio. A resident of Oakland, N.J., Pernetti is married to the former Danielle Bahto. His wife also graduated from Rutgers and was a letterwinner on the women’s lacrosse team. Danielle and Tim are the proud parents of their three children – Max, Conor and Natalie.
