MISSION STATEMENT Wayne State University believes that intercollegiate athletics are an important and wholesome adjunct to the principal purposes of the University: (1) the advancement of knowledge through research and investigation; and (2) the dissemination of knowledge through teaching. To that end, participants in intercollegiate athletics must be, first and foremost, students whose fundamental aim is to obtain a sound education. A major mission of the University is to achieve an increasing level of excellence in the quality of its programs and to enhance the visibility and recognition of the University as a whole. Students who participate in intercollegiate athletics are directly involved in the implementation of this mission of excellence, and by such participation, provide a unifying objective of community and University. Wayne State University believes that a well-balanced program in intercollegiate sports is important so long as it remains in proper focus as an ancillary of the real purposes of the University; so long as it remains under academic control; so long as the players are bona fide students; and so long as the coaches strive to instill qualities of honesty, sportsmanship and clean play.

Irvin D. Reid was sworn in as Wayne State University’s ninth president on Nov. 24, 1997. Shortly after assuming office, President Reid announced several initiatives that he believed would lead Wayne State University into “a new era of greatness.” These initiatives, which stress the university’s commitment to student success, research, the urban environment, diversity and innovative technology, have since formed the core principles of Wayne State’s strategic planning. Under President Reid’s leadership, Wayne State has completed hundreds of millions of dollars in new construction, including a major expansion of the Law School complex, three residence halls, the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center and a Welcome Center Complex comprising the Welcome Center, the University Bookstore and a Retail/Parking Center Building. One of President Reid’s most far-reaching achievements has been the creation of TechTown, a 43-acre technology park adjacent to the Wayne State campus. With more than 40 tenants, TechTown’s business incubator is a growing force in the revitalization of the economies of Detroit and Michigan. Since President Reid’s arrival, the university’s fundraising has grown from $27 million per year in 1997 to nearly $80 million per year. During his tenure the university has raised more than $520 million from private sources and has received the largest gifts in

its history in law, engineering and medicine. In 2001 he launched Wayne First, the university’s first capital campaign, with an announced goal of $500 million. Irvin D. Reid was born in rural South Carolina and grew up in the home of his grandparents. He attended grammar school in a two-room schoolhouse presided over by his grandmother, whom he recalls as an inspirational and encouraging presence in his early years. Surrounded by a family of teachers and preachers, he immersed himself in literature and history. President Reid earned master’s and PhD degrees in business and applied economics from The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and bachelor’s and master’s degrees in general/ experimental psychology from Howard University. He also holds a certificate in educational administration from Harvard University. Dr. Reid began the most significant years of his academic career at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where his positions included dean of the School of Business Administration, John Stagmaier Professor of Economics and Business Administration, head of the Department of Marketing and Business Law, and Alan Lorberbaum Professor of Marketing. He also has held positions at Howard University, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Drexel University, the Philadelphia College of Art and St. Joseph’s University. From 1989-1997 Dr. Reid was president of Montclair State University in Montclair, N.J., where under his leadership 17 new facilities were built or initiated and the institution’s first capital campaign was begun and completed. At Montclair he also was a tenured full professor in management in the School of Business Administration. Dr. Reid has received many honors and awards including the Austrian-American Council of North America’s Austrian-American Medal (1995) and Howard University’s Distinguished Postgraduate Achievement Award in Education and Administration (1999). In 2000 The Detroit News placed him among its 12 Michiganians of the Year. In 2002 he received the Michael P. Malone International Leadership Award from the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges, and was named a Newsmaker of the Year by Crain’s Detroit Business. In 2003 he received an honorary degree from Montclair State

University; in 2006 Dr. Reid was chosen Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur of the Year in the Central Great Lakes Region for his leadership in supporting spin-off businesses from university research while nurturing existing businesses in Detroit’s Midtown area. Irvin D. Reid sits on the boards of Detroit Renaissance, Handleman Company, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, and the Mack-Cali Real Estate Trust. He is married to Pamela Trotman Reid, who last October was named the eighth president/chief executive of Saint Joseph College (SJC) in West Hartford, Conn., the only Catholic college for women in New England.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR ROB FOURNIER

Since Rob Fournier’s arrival in September of 2000, his plan to invigorate the Wayne State athletic department has centered on three goals - academic achievement, community outreach and competitive success. To that end, the record has been telling. The Warriors six best finishes ever in the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Cup standings which measures the overall performance of athletic programs around the country have occurred in the last six years. WSU has jumped 100 places in the standings including WSU’s best finish ever at 24th in the nation in 2007. On average, 53% of WSU’s roughly 400+ student-athletes have a 3.00 or better grade-point average and 23 % are above 3.5. In the latest federally-mandated graduation study, Warrior student-athletes graduated at a 17% higher mark than the comparable campus population. The overall grade-point average for all 17 athletic teams at the start of the 2007 fall term is 3.03. These, and other academic achievements, are recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he started in 2001. Fournier’s ability to generate corporate support has vastly improved the physical setting of the athletic campus and the competitive balance of the Warrior teams. In his seven years he has raised $5,887,775 from a variety of sources. That total has helped complete the following facility initiatives: football locker room; baseball’s replica Fenway Park stadium; men’s and women’s basketball locker rooms; softball grandstand, walkway and pressbox; a Boston Garden-like parquet floor for basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board and pool improvements; football ticket booths and stadium entrance; outdoor marquee; FieldTurf and a new track; scoreboards for baseball and football with a video display; trainer’s treatment area; new USTA tennis courts; and a design charette for a new arena for both basketball and hockey. The

physical transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as well. In the past three years alone, student-athletes have committed over 10,000 community service hours with such programs as St. Leo’s and St. Aloysius soup kitchens, Motor City Makeover, Make-A-Wish, Relay for Life, canned food drives, Boys and Girls Club, Toys-for-Tots, Skate for the Cure, Genesis House, Focus Hope, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters and SMARTS mentoring. In particular, the Think Detroit/PAL initiative pairs WSU studentathletes and coaches with over 13,000 Detroit school children in a variety of program and outreach activities. All this is accomplished under the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program, one of the first in the conference. Fournier has also initiated an outreach effort for coaches and staff to volunteer one day a month to a charitable cause. Fournier is a member of the NCAA football regional ranking committee which weekly identifies the top teams in the country. He has also served as chair of the GLIAC Executive Committee and is currently the chair of the GLIAC officiating committee.

the league, Fournier investigated and reported on over three hundred and fifty (350) infraction cases that insured fairness in case resolution and corrective action. At the request of institutions, he has appeared before the NCAA Committee on Infractions and conducted campus reviews of compliance effectiveness in financial aid, rules education, eligibility and institutional control. He has served as liaison to various NCAA committees for which the conference held cabinet positions. The MAC presidents recognized Fournier’s achievements when they unanimously conferred a Certificate of Commendation and a mark of esteem for his efforts. Previous to joining the MAC, Fournier served as assistant athletic director at the University of Akron. In addition to overseeing the men’s athletic programs, he was responsible for all athletic financial aid, eligibility, drug/alcohol education and compliance. His fundraising efforts resulted in a number of facility improvements to the athletic campus. He formed one of the first studentathlete advisory groups in the country (an effort he repeated at the Mid-American Conference) and was a member of the development executive board. A former member of the faculty, Fournier remained active in the classroom at the University of Akron, teaching courses in communication and criminal justice. A licensed attorney, Fournier received his bachelor’s degree summa cum laude and his master’s with honors from the University of Akron. He was a national forensics champion and qualified for the national finals in six events. Fournier received his law degree from the University of Akron in 1986 and was admitted to the Ohio bar that same year where he is still licensed to practice. He and his wife Pam reside in Walled Lake.

Prior to joining Wayne State, Fournier served as the Senior Associate Commissioner and general counsel for the Mid-American Conference. While serving as the acting Commissioner of the Conference, he moved the league office from Toledo to Cleveland, wrote and secured a longterm contract for the men’s basketball tournament at the Gund Arena (now Quicken Loans Arena) and secured the three largest corporate gifts in the history of the MAC including First Energy as the tournament sponsor for the men’s postseason basketball tournament. He also wrote and negotiated the Motor City Bowl football contract that is the MAC’s yearly post-season Bowl alignment. As the chief compliance officer for

In his last year, Alexander led the Warriors in hits, runs scored, stolen bases and batting average, while also being ranked nationally in those same categories. For his play, Alexander earned First Team All-GLIAC and All-Regional honors. “Jay continues the legacy of Coach George and the teaching skills and emphasis on academics so important to the success of our overall athletic program,” said Fournier. “His familiarity with our systems and personnel is an added bonus that furthers underscores his

WARRIORS WAYNE STATE UNIVERSITY

THIS IS WAYNE STATE

Wayne State University: World-Class Education in the Real World™ Wayne State University is Michigan’s only urban research university, a national, comprehensive institution that provides access to a world-class education. WSU students learn from some of the best scholars in the world. The university has close partnerships with many neighboring Fortune 500 companies, offering students unparalleled learning and internship opportunities. Students also have unrivaled connections to vast learning opportunities in Detroit and throughout Michigan. The 230,000 alumni who live in Southeastern Michigan offer unmatched access to mentors in virtually all career paths. Chances are the professionals Southeast Michigan relies on every day -- doctors, lawyers, pharmacists, nurses, teachers and accountants -- attended WSU. Nationally Recognized Schools and Colleges With more than 350 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in 11 schools and colleges, Wayne State meets the needs of most students. Day, evening and Saturday course scheduling makes it easy for working students to take classes. Courses are offered on the main campus in Detroit’s Midtown and at six satellite campuses throughout Southeastern Michigan -- in Clinton Township, Farmington Hills, Harper Woods, Madison Heights, Northwest Detroit and Port Huron. Leading-edge Research Undergraduate and graduate students learn alongside world-renowned researchers at WSU. The university ranks among the nation’s top 50 public research universities, with $226 million in annual research expenditures, according to the National Science Foundation. Wayne State recently established the National Biofuel Energy Lab. The lab’s goal is to facilitate widespread use of biofuels, or fuels made from renewable resources such as vegetable oil, which can either be recycled from restaurants or culled from organically grown crops such as soybeans and sunflowers. Biofuels are biodegradable, nontoxic and have significantly fewer emissions than petroleumbased diesel when burned. The College of Engineering Smart Sensors and Integrated Microsystems lab is progressing toward breakthroughs with biosensors, including breast cancer detection and water and air contaminant detection. Retinal and cortical implants being developed by the lab may offer hope of vision and improved vision for the blind and seeing-impaired. The lab is also developing the next-generation technology in robotic surgery, including optical tissue diagnostics that provide instant biopsies in surgery. Wayne State also houses the Perinatology Research Branch, part of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, which conducts major research in maternal-fetal medicine. Vibrant, Growing Campus Wayne State’s vibrant campus features more than 100 research and education buildings, and it is growing. The university has opened nine new buildings since 2000, including three residence halls with retail establishments, a two-story Barnes & Noble bookstore, a Welcome Center, the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center and the Eugene Applebaum College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. In fall 2008, Wayne State will open the Marvin I. Danto Engineering Development Center, an engineering facility that will grow sustainable energy technology, health care and biotech innovation and other high-tech industries. Wayne State’s residence halls feature on-site laundry and dining; staffed 24-hour reception desks; academic, social and personal programs; and rooms, each with private bath, high-speed Internet connection, cable and local telephone services. The Undergraduate Library is designed just for undergraduates, with more than 500 computer workstations and a 24-hour study center. In the heart of campus, students can get in shape with the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center’s extensive exercise equipment, free weights, fitness classes, 30-foot climbing wall, basketball/volleyball courts and running/walking track. Students enjoy easy access to all the amenities of a major city. Wayne State is within minutes of The Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Historical Museum, the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History, The New Detroit Science Center, Fisher Theatre, Fox Theatre, Max M. Fisher Music Center, Comerica Park (home of Tigers baseball), Ford Field (home of Lions football) and Joe Louis Arena (home of Red Wings hockey).

2008 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

WSU ACADEMICS Athletic Academic Services The Wayne State Athletic Department has developed a comprehensive approach to academic services for its student-athletes. The department’s goal is to assist student-athletes in pursuit of their designated course of studies and ultimately to achieve graduation. This objective is facilitated by appropriate academic advising, major selection, tutorial assistance and other life skill development and academic support services. A major goal of athletic academic services is to significantly increase the department’s graduation rate over the next five years and to continually emphasize the success of WSU’s student-athletes in the community. Part of the initiative already has been realized by the department’s annual Spring Academic Recognition Banquet that not only honors student-athletes with a 3.5 or better grade point average, but also those individuals who will graduate that term. The name of each graduate is permanently displayed on a brick as part of the department’s “Wall of Fame.” The recognition is prominently displayed in the main concourse as visitors and students enter the Matthaei Athletic Facility Complex. Services Available to Warrior Student-Athletes Academic Monitoring The Department of Athletics participates in the university-wide early alert system in which instructors in lower division classes provide notification to students and their advisors about unsatisfactory progress after the fourth week of classes. In conjunction with the coaching staff, requests for information about class attendance and performance are sent to each instructor. The academic coordinator tracks individual progress, schedules meetings with students as appropriate, and personally contacts instructors as necessary. Counseling/Mentoring The coordinator meets with student-athletes individually and arranges for group meetings/workshops with other support service personnel regarding academic, athletic, career, and/or personal issues (for example, group sessions covering such topics as test-taking skills, time management, learning styles, etc.) The Department of Athletics has collaborative relationships with many other critical units on campus to help provide appropriate support services. Advising/Registration In conjunction with academic advisors in the University Advising Center, the coordinator assists student-athletes with term course planning and registration, including holding special student-athlete Orientation sessions to introduce them to NCAA and GLIAC eligibility requirements and departmental academic policies as well as to Wayne State University’s academic programs, procedures and regulations, and services. The office also works closely with academic advisors in all the university’s schools and colleges to ensure appropriate semester course selection and timely progress towards degree. The office serves as a clearinghouse for information about campus resources and student support services, university forms, enrollment deadlines and institutional academic policies and procedures.

Over 200 student-athletes, faculty and staff attended the annual Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet held in April 2007. Structured Study In an effort to help ensure the academic success and the development of consistent study patterns of student-athletes, the coordinator organizes supervised study sessions for each team. Tutorial Services, Writing Center, Mathematics Laboratory The university provides free peer tutoring in most subject areas either on a dropin or by-appointment basis. In the event that the Academic Success Center cannot provide tutoring for a specific class, the Department of Athletics has set aside funds to hire individual tutors. The coordinator works with academic department chairs to identify qualified tutors and is always available to arrange special individual or group sessions in a variety of areas. As in all other services, the office works in a proactive manner to provide assistance before academic problems arise.

Before the Tartars, school nicknames included the Griffins and the Munies. The newest name, Warriors, embraced characteristics associated with the WSU student body and athletic teams - a fierce determination and an ability and willingness to compete and succeed.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING In just five years, the WSU Strength and Conditioning program has made an immense and immediate impact on the Warrior athletic teams. The department is responsible for all 17 varsity sports totaling approximately 400 studentathletes. The previous 2250-square foot renovation of three racquetball courts in the Matthaei lower level has provided student-athletes with an exclusive area that includes three double-sided squat racks used for squats and presses, six adjustable benches, 15 Med-X plate-loaded machines, over 13,000 pounds of weights and one complete set of dumbbells ranging in weight from 5 to 120 pounds. A second renovation took place in the spring of 2007 converting a fourth racquetball court into an area for treadmills and offices. A philosophy based on the belief that what is done inside and outside the weight room transfers to the playing surface contributes to the overall attitude of each student-athlete. With each sport having specific demands, the program works year-round with the student-athletes on elevating each player’s success.
