William and Mary Hall opened in 1971 and is the home of varsity basketball and all Tribe athletics. On the concourse and lower levels of the building are coaching and staff offices housing the W&M athletic department. The broad-based program offers 23 intercollegiate varsity sports to W&M undergraduates. The 2005-06 season saw a new addition to the facility. The basketball gymnasium became known as Kaplan Arena in honor of athletics department donors Jim and Jane Kaplan. The name was officially approved in a special session of the W&M Board of Visitors inside the newly named facility prior to the 2005 W&M Tip-Off Classic tournament banquet. During the summer of 2011, the Kaplan Arena court was refurbished and is now on par with the nation’s top collegiate hardwood playing surfaces. The facilities received an upgrade with a new Daktronics scoreboard that included LED display panels prior to the 2010-11 season.

“The name William & Mary alone says prestige, but the true beauty of the college is in the people. Being apart of the William & Mary family has truly shaped my life. The experiences stretched far past the classroom and even the court. William & Mary not only was my home while I was a student but will forever feel like home to me.

“I can’t begin to express my gratitude toward the coaches, the College itself and the support staff at William and Mary. As soon as I stepped foot onto campus, I knew that it was an extraordinary place. I was able to pursue not only an education that is nationally renowned, but also a myriad of culturally and intellectually stimulating events outside the classroom. My experiences on the women’s basketball team at W&M has forever changed my life. I left W&M not simply as a degree holder, but as a better person because of the guidance I was given by my coaches and support staff. They taught me the importance of leadership, teamwork, family and perseverance. The young ladies I was honored to have played with throughout my tenure were exceptional, and we will remain friends because of bonds made and trials overcome during our time together.”

“My decision to attend the College of William and Mary has proven to be one of the most rewarding decisions of my life. Throughout my collegiate experience, I was exposed to incredible challenges - both on and off the court - that have prepared me for the highly competitive Wall Street culture. I am deeply thankful to Coach Taylor for both the opportunity that she gave me and for the lessons that she taught me. I am truly honored and blessed to be part of the Tribe family, and to have those friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.”

“ During my time as a coach and player with William and Mary, my coaches and teammates supported and guided me through my successes and failures. These experiences shaped me into a leader, an assiduous worker, and a person of integrity. As a member of the Tribe, I made significant personal strides which have given me the confidence to rise to any occasion and meet challenges head on. I attribute much of my success outside of William and Mary to my coaches and teammates who pushed me to become a better basketball player and more importantly, a better person.”

The College of William and Mary instills an expectation of hard work and determination in all it’s students and student-athletes; yet, what I have appreciated more in the years after college is the support and loyalty shown by my fellow teammates, coaches, alumni and administration during my years at William and Mary and after.”

Sound academic advice can make the crucial difference between a coherent and exciting education that satisfies personal and professional goals and one that is fragmented and frustrating.

FACILITY ENHANCEMENT UNDER DRISCOLL In his 16 years of guiding the William and Mary Athletic Department, Athletics Director Terry Driscoll has overseen a significant number of facility enhancements for a number of Tribe’s athletic programs. It total, W&M has dedicated nearly $30 million to facilities enhancements under Driscoll. Here is a look at some of the facility enhancements on Driscoll’s watch: • In the Summer of 2010, the commitment of a significant gift to fully fund the addition of MARTIN FAMILY STADIUM to Albert-Daly Field, the home of Tribe soccer and lacrosse. Named in honor of Eff and Patty Martin, and their children, Andrew, Christine and Julia ’09, the facility, which was completed in the spring of 2011, includes a 1,000-seat pavilion, which features a state-of-the-art press box, filming positions and restroom facilities. • The $11 million, 30,000-square foot JIMMYE LAYCOCK FOOTBALL CENTER (dedicated in June 2008). • $7 million specifically for men’s basketball and the naming of KAPLAN ARENA for the gift from Jim (Class of ’57) and Jane Kaplan (Class of ’56).
42

TERRY DRISCOLL Director of Athletics 16th Year at W&M
Under the steady guidance and watchful eye of Terry Driscoll, the William and Mary Athletics Department has solidified its standing as one of the nation’s preeminent broadbased programs. As Driscoll enters his 16th year as athletics director, he has overseen an unprecedented era of improvement in terms of funding and facilities while also maintaining the College’s rich history of producing well-rounded student-athletes. Driscoll oversees a program that is committed to balancing academic demands with athletic success. One of the department’s stated goals each year is to finish among the top 100 in the annual Director’s Cup rankings, which has happened in all but one of the years that Driscoll has been the director. In the last eight years, the Tribe’s program has combined for a total of 33 Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) titles. This past season, W&M claimed four CAA titles (Football, Men’s Cross Country, Men’s Soccer and Women’s Tennis). Overall, no institution in the CAA can claim more all-time league championships than William and Mary (102), and in 2011, the College became the first league program with over 100 conference titles.

Established in 1948 to create support for William and Mary Athletics, the Tribe Club is made up of alumni and friends of the College’s athletics programs. Due to the fact that W&M receives no aid from the state for its sports programs, the Tribe Club is the sole provider of scholarships for William and Mary’s student-athletes. Additionally, money raised annually by the Tribe Club helps defray a portion of the operating expenses for program support. Whether you are a former Tribe student-athlete, a proud alum, a Tribe parent or a fan of William and Mary Athletics, you are invited to join the Tribe Club. By donating to the unrestricted fund or to a specific sport, you are providing opportunities for many young men and women to experience both academic and athletic excellence here at the College. In addition to supporting our student-athletes with generous gifts, Tribe Club members receive exclusive benefits based on their giving level, as well as invitations to tailgates, pre-game and halftime events, golf outings and regional Tribe Club social events. To join, you can make a contribution to the Tribe Club online at www.TribeClub.com or send your donation to PO Box 399, Williamsburg, VA, 23187. Thanks to all those who are loyal members of the Tribe Club family. Your support of our gifted and talented athletes is truly appreciated. We could not succeed without you!

The Colonial Athletic Association continues to build on its reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences both athletically and academically. The CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas with a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta. The conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 12 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Just as impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 22 NCAA post-graduate scholars.
