In late May, a group of nine UNC students had the opportunity to travel to Egypt for two weeks to experience and study politics and culture in contemporary Egypt. The trip was offered to students through UNC’s Center for International Education in conjunction with of Extended Studies. The logistics of the trip were planned by the Arab American Foundation for Multicultural Education and Students’ Understanding, or ARAMFO. Professor of Africana Studies George Junne was one of three faculty members on the trip. Junne was impressed with the organization of the trip and by the abun-
dance of things the group was able to see in such a short time. Despite the ongoing civil unrest in Egypt over the last two years, the group was able

The trip offered students a view into the complexities of a civil society where not everything is black and white. “It’s really important to go out and look at the world and see, as my students did, that it’s all more complicated than we think,” Junne said. The group had the opportunity to dine with Manal Kamal, vice minister of Egypt’s Ministry of Higher Education. The group also met Andrew from the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. UNC student Angela Ruddick said her favorite experience was meeting
locals and speaking to them about their opinions on civil society. “The most valuable part for me would be meeting the students from MUST and hearing their viewpoints on Egyptian politics and their lives in Egypt,” Ruddick said. “Every student, faculty member and community member was very kind and welcoming to our group.” Faculty-led trips such as this are an opportunity for students to have a profound study abroad experience without committing to an entire semester. Professor Junne urges all students to consider studying abroad. “Some people think, ‘we have everything here, there’s no reason to leave.’” Junne said. “But when you leave, you realize we don’t have everything, and other countries don’t have everything either; it’s all different.”

Last week, UNC hired J.K. Joung as the Executive-in-Residence at the Monfort College of Business. The Executive Professor Program aims to bring accomplished national or international senior business executives to the Monfort business school to teach specialized and high-level courses. As an Executive-in-Residence, Joung will be required to teach one course of his own design and to teach another course included in the Monfort business school curriculum. Joung will also be expected to advise students and to conduct joint research with fellow faculty. Joung is a native of South Korea and moved to the United States in 1995 at the age of 25. Joung arrived in the U.S. as a transfer student of government at St. Mary’s University in California. Following his undergraduate work, Joung went on to earn two master’s degrees at the University of

Joung’s position at the university is unique because even when he is teaching courses, he will still be viewed not so much as a professor as he will be an international businessperson who can give valuable insights that regular professors can’t provide.

Equally important, though, are two notable after missing much of 2012 with injuries—linebacker Clarence Bumpas and defensive end Devontae Chapple. Bumpas is returning from a pectoral injury he suffered against Montana last season. Detackles and has been named to the watch list for the Buck Buchanan Award given to the FCS’s top defensive player.

Among those returning to Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion were last year’s three seniors: middle blocker Brittany Crenshaw, setter Marissa Hughes and outside hitter Kelley Arnold — all three Big Sky Championship in 2009 as freshmen. “Our team on our side of the net is a little bit different,” head coach Lyndsey Oates said. “Kelley went up and hit a ball like she hit a ball playing for us for four years and I turned to (assistant head
coach Jenny Glenn) and I said, ‘We’re going to miss that.’” The match was not only a chance to see familiar faces, but it was a chance for fans of the University of Northern Colorado to have their ter, true freshman Ashley Guthrie, who had forty assists to her new teammates.

While defensive specialist/setter Audrey Landry was unable to play due to an injury, defensive specialist Makenna Meier and outside hitter/ middle blocker Cheyanne Lyons were able to show the type of player they are in game play. Meier had four digs in the match while Lyons matched Meir’s digs and also tallied two kills in 11 total attacks. “I think, obviously, we still have a lot to work on — we just got out of preseason,” Guthrie said. “I think we are starting to come together and the things we need to work on I think the team is starting to identify.” showed

Four years ago, freshman Marissa Hughes began what turned out to be a fouryear starting career for UNC as a setter. Saturday marked the beginning of a new setting career for another true-freshman, Ashley Guthrie. When University of Northern Colorado head coach Lyndsey Oates announced Guthrie signed a National Letter of Intent April 19, it was immediately the plan for Guthrie to be the starter this season as Hughes was set to graduate and Allie Hutcheson was not going to return for a second year with the Bears. “It’s a lot of pressure,” Guthrie said. “It’s nice to know this is your spot, but at the same time, you have to perform. There isn’t anybody who can replace me if I’m doing bad. I have to be on my game every single match. So there’s a lot of pressure, but I feel the coaches are preparing me very well and I feel like the girls are awesome around me so it’s hard, but not Coming from Saugus High School in Saugus, Calif. —about half an hour north of the high school of her predecessor, Hughes — Guthrie was a four-year starter and left her high school as the singleseason and career assists leader with 1,017 and 3,541, respectively. Her biggest season was her junior campaign, when she led her team to an undefeated record in the Foothill League and was named to the All-Foothills League First Team. One Bear who will be fed by Guthrie often this season is junior middle blocker Andrea Spaustat, who ended last season with a .330 hitting percentage—fourth in the Big Sky. After two years of Hughes setting to Spaustat, she—along with the other returning hitters—is adjusting to a new setter feeding the ball. “Ashley is an amazing setter,” Spaustat said. “Obviously Marissa was a great setter as well, but Ashley just came right in and is learning so quickly, and you tell her something and she adjusts right away. She’s very, very smart and athletic, and she’s doing amazing and I’m so excited to see her four years here, and she’s going to do great.” Guthrie said she is getting into rhythm with the hitters, but recognized she still has room for growth. However, the presence Guthrie brings to the court is one of comfort, looking as though she has played in more matches than just one exhibition.

Ashley Guthrie sets a ball for a teammate during the team’s alumni game on Saturday at the Butler-Hancock Sports Pavilion.
“One of the things we liked about her in the recruiting process was her demeanor. She looks—the look on her face—looks like she’s been out there for four years,” said Oates. “Nothing fazes her. She won’t have pregame jitters, maybe she has pregame jitters, but it certainly doesn’t show. That’s her best strength right now — how consistent and calm she is and our players can respond to that.” During her high school career, Guthrie was a team captain sophomore through senior year. While she is adjusting to a new speed of play, she is able to rely on the leadership of those around her to let her focus on her position and the new level. “The setting position is a leadership position,” Oates said. “It’s the quarterback on the court, so she’s calling the play — she’s going to lead in that regard. Really as a freshman, she’s got great leadership around her, she’s not going to be the vocal leader — I’m not really sure that’s her personality anyway.” There is no doubt Guthrie has her work cut out for her, replacing a four-year starter and joining a team that has won three Big Sky tournaments in four years, but her freshman campaign, a repeat of last year’s success cannot be eliminated as a possibility.

Phillips named new men’s tennis coach Staff Report
sports@uncmirror.com
UNC has named Mike Phillips its new men’s tennis coach just in time for the beginning of fall semester. He comes to the University of Northern Colorado as a big-name hire within Big Sky men’s tennis after winning three straight conference titles at Montana State from 2004-2006.
Phillips spent 12 seasons coaching the Bobcats, reaching the Big Sky tourof those 12 years and earning four Big Sky Coach of the Year awards. Phillips left MSU prior to last season to spend time with his parents. Prior to his time in Bozeman, Phillips was an assistant at Colorado from 1997-2000. His ties to the
state extend further back; he was a tennis pro at the Breckenridge Recreation Center and the program director and head pro at Boulder Country Club. He also was a top-20 NAIA player for Colorado Mesa when he attended the school. After a 12-7 (4-4 Big Sky) spring, former UNC head coach Tim Bearman left the Bears to work as a recruiter for a Fortune
500 company in St. Louis. Though a head coach has been selected, the team has 1 spot. Graduated senior Brandon Lupo was dominant for UNC last year with a record of 15-3. Phillips will make his debut as head coach on Sept. 13 in the Drake Invitational at the Roger Knapp Tennis Club in Des Moines, Iowa.

UNC Athletics’ director of creative services, Scott Ward, has left the university for a similar position —website and media relations coordinator—with the Colorado Avalanche. Ward was hired as the assistant sports information director in spring of 2008 but was asked to run creative services last summer. Ward said he believes the Avalanche wants to add staff for its site and media relations because it expects more media coverage after bringing back Hall of Fame goaltender Patrick Roy as
head coach. Ward’s job with the Avs will mostly be creating web content for the ing exclusive features and interviews of players. “We’ll be the editors of the website,� he said. “We’ll produce content on our own, but we’ll also have writers who contribute.
