Wayne State vs. Findlay WSU SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT CLASS TRAVELS TO ITALY Several supply chain management majors including three football student-athletes traveled to Italy this past summer.

FEATURE STORY by KARL HENKEL A student-athlete’s time commitment to his or her sport is not confined Brodbeck, a redshirt junior tight end, recalled some of the standout to gamedays. moments of the Italy trip, including visiting Turin, the capital of Italy, a Maserati plant and a robotics firm.

There are offseason workouts, spring practices and other team activities that span most of the calendar year.

“It was an awesome experience,” he said. “Throughout the entire trip we were able to visit car companies and learn about the automotive industry So when three Wayne State football players discovered a few off-weeks from a different view than the United States.” last May, they used that opportunity to take part in the university’s study abroad program.

Alex Medenbach, Trent Brodbeck and Andy Zimmerman all traveled to Italy for a couple of weeks of immersion into the global business world as part of their global supply chain studies. They came back with a new perspective on the business world and about what they want to do after they graduate.

“Before the trip, I never really considered working overseas. That thought never came into my mind,” said Zimmerman, now a redshirt junior offensive tackle. “But after spending time abroad, the experience was great, and it made me think that I wouldn’t mind doing this for a couple of years if a company needed me to work in another country.”

Hundreds of students now participate in the Wayne State study abroad program each year, though the reasons for doing so are unique to each student. Most students are either business majors, though there are some The class touring Italy. business minors who participate, and many are interested in careers with one of the Detroit automakers, that are constantly growing their global footprints. All must be in good academic standing.

Getting that differing viewpoint is one of the main objectives of the program, said Timothy Butler, associate professor of global supply chain Some students go to one of many different destinations, including China, management, the department that oversees the study abroad program.

Brazil and Europe, for the cultural experience – to discover a world outside the United States – while others look to build their skill set “In Southeast Michigan, so many of the employers here are global,” for their future career, and others just want to earn credits outside the Butler said. “This provides an opportunity for Wayne State students to traditional classroom. get outside of the United States and to experience other cultures. We are able to visit businesses, and students have experiences at other colleges Brodbeck, for example, had learned about the study abroad program along with meeting other college students. in a marketing class early in his Wayne State career, and had recently completed an internship with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, the Italian- “This is not like being a tourist. They get to meet and know people who American automaker that has a presence throughout most of the world. live and work in these foreign countries and get a better grasp of what The trip to Italy was a natural tie-in to his internship and Brodbeck said the culture is really like.” the overseas trip opened his eyes to how the auto industry works and is perceived far beyond the confines of the Motor City.

Official Game Program “I’m always open to that,” Brodbeck said. “I think that would be cool to work somewhere different for an international assignment. I was asked to come back to Fiat Chrysler and they’ve got a lot of stuff going on in Italy and my boss goes over there every couple of weeks.”

The supply chain management class at the Fiat headquarters.

Of course, there is time for students to explore like a tourist; typically the trip is structured so that there are business meetings in the morning, cultural activities in the afternoon and free time in the evening. And often, it is the combination of those experiences that provides the greatest educational value.

For example, Zimmerman said upon getting to Italy and listening to a presentation from a U.S. expatriate and then meeting with business professionals, he learned one of the key communications differences between Americans and Italians.

“Americans are much more direct in terms of their communication,” he said. “People in Italy aren’t as direct and kind of walk around getting to the point of the problem.”

Making mental connections like this is important, Butler said, any career in the automotive industry – or in most businesses, for that matter – will likely at some point involve overseas work. That could be through an international service assignment, where an employee actually lives in another country for a few years, or on business trips.

“If you’re working for the automotive industry, you’re going to be working overseas probably, especially in supply chain management,” Butler said.

“The students see that, and they see the opportunities that careers in automotive supply chain – and all businesses – have.”

Brodbeck is one who now believes working in another country is something he wants to strive towards.

Medenbach, Brodbeck and Zimmerman are part of a rare class of Wayne State studentathletes who have participated in the study abroad program. Tyler Haksluoto (men’s golf) and Steven Kudla (men’s fencing) are two other examples.

There are a couple of hurdles student-athletes (and busy students in general) must overcome. First, there are trips throughout the year of varying lengths and costs. Italy, for example, cost about $3,000, plus the tuition associated with an accompanying class that includes various reading and writing assignments. For the football players, the Italy trip was a combination of good timing and cost.

“We went to the fair and it sounded like a great trip, and it was happening in May, which is kind of the off-month for football, so everything lined up,” Zimmerman said.

Butler recalled opening one student-athlete’s eyes on the most basic level and reiterated the importance of getting some international experience while in college – even if just for a few weeks.

“One student, an athlete, a couple of years ago, he had never been on an airplane before,” he said. “His first airplane trip was to fly to Prague, Czech Republic, with a stop in Frankfurt, Germany.”

Zimmerman vouches for the study abroad program, and said the experience was another example of how he has been able to take full advantage – albeit with a jam-packed schedule – of Wayne State’s wide range of opportunities.

“I always compare myself to a couple of my friends who go to other schools who are just students, and I think ‘wow, they must just have nothing but free time’ because legitimately, every single one of my days during the week is fully planned out,” Zimmerman said.

“I definitely feel my college experience has been different, but it will benefit me later in life because I’ll be used to working a lot and keeping up with the grind.”

Wayne State vs. Findlay

Since Rob Fournier was named Director of Athletics at Wayne State University on September 1, 2000, a lot has changed. In those 15 years, the department’s competitive success, classroom achievements, community outreach initiatives and the physical structure of the athletic campus has seen a significant transformation. That development has followed a strategic plan that models business forecasting and has realized defined goals/objectives. The results are welldocumented.

That competitive success is evident in Wayne State’s national standing against all Division II institutions.

WSU’s 14 best finishes in the prestigious NACDA Cup standings (which measures the overall competitive success of athletic programs around the country) have all occurred in the last 14 years including the three highest marks ever in the past seven years – 11th in 2009, 14th in 2014 and 21st in 2010. Those finishes secured an unprecedented top four (4%), top five (5%) and top seven (7%) percent ranking among all Division II athletic programs in the country. Ten of 18 athletic teams advanced to the NCAA tournament last season. In the past 14 years WSU has catapulted over 100 places in the NACDA rankings.

Additionally, in those 15 years, 43 WSU coaches have been named conference coach of the year while five have gone on to be distinguished as National Coach of the Year. In 2012, the women’s swimming and diving program won the first national title since women’s fencing in 1989. Football had its best season ever in 2011 reaching the Division II national championship game.

During Fournier’s tenure at WSU, Warrior athletic teams have won 33 conference regular-season titles, 11 league tournament titles and eight postseason regional, super regional or national titles.

For his efforts, Fournier was honored by NACDA as the Athletics Director of the Year in the Central Region in 2008.

Last year, WSU had twenty-eight (28) All-Americans.

In the past 10 years, 294 Warriors have been named AllAmericans, the most in any decade. In the 98 years of WSU Athletics, 347 of the 568 all-time All-Americans (61

6

percent of the total) have been so honored since 2000.

Another strategic measurement continues to be noteworthy. The 2014-15 academic year continued both academic achievement and community volunteerism.

Fifteen (15) of WSU’s 17 athletic programs (women’s indoor and outdoor track is counted as one) have cumulative grade-point averages above 3.00 with a composite cumulative GPA of all WSU student-athletes at 3.10. The annual NCAA Federally-mandated graduation rate (five year) for WSU student-athletes is at an all-time high of 72 percent which has risen over 30 percent in Fournier’s tenure from programs such as: survival skills, connect-mentoring and learning specialists!

In addition, in the last 12 months, WSU studentathletes contributed an exemplary 10,754 community service hours volunteering at a variety of Detroit initiatives. In the past six years alone, student-athletes have committed 53,863 community service hours with such programs as Habitat For Humanity, University Prep Elementary, Capuchin Soup Kitchen and Warming Center, Adopt a Family Thanksgiving Basket, Basic Needs Drive, Be The Match Donor Registry, Covenant House Michigan, NSO (Neighborhood Service Organization), SOCKS in the City, L.I.N.K. Mentoring (Local Intervention Network for Kids, S.M.A.R.T.S. Mentoring, Big Brother Big Sisters, Make-A-Wish Foundation, COTS, Toys for Tots, Forgotten Harvest, Gleaners Food Bank and Manhood Mentoring Project to name only some of the programs.

The conference recognized those achievements with an unprecedented association’s honor of the Sportsmanship Award and Community Service Award in 2013.

The rise in both academic average and community outreach has been dramatic, consistent and unprecedented. In addition, in the latest federallymandated graduation rate report, it noted WSU studentathletes received an undergraduate degree at a rate 30 percent higher than the comparable campus population.

These, and other academic achievements, are recognized at the annual academic banquet, which he started in 2001 and combines a salute to the University’s faculty.

Fournier’s ability to generate private and corporate support has dramatically altered the physical setting of the athletic campus and the practice/competitive opportunities for WSU student-athletes.

In his 15 years, he has secured $14,762,796 in revenue for the athletic department including $13,231,677 in cash and an additional 1,531,119 in deferred gifts. That total has helped complete the following facility initiatives: football locker room; multipurpose indoor facility; new men’s and women’s basketball office complex; baseball’s replica Fenway Park baseball stadium which displays the former Tiger Stadium scoreboard on its famous “Green Monster facade; men’s and women’s basketball coaches offices and film room; softball locker room and coaches offices, along with a grandstand, walkway and press box; a Boston Garden-like parquet floor for basketball; Hall of Fame foyer; swimming video board, pool deck and bleachers in the natatorium; football ticket booths and stadium entrance; outdoor marquee; FieldTurf football field; a new outdoor track; scoreboards for baseball and football with a video display; trainer’s

treatment areas; and new USTA outdoor tennis courts with scoreboard. The physical transformation has been both noticeable and imaginative and boasts a number of cosmetic infrastructure changes as well.

Fournier added a radio and statewide television package to WSU media outreach. He also added the athletic department’s first website, a quarterly magazine (Warrior Within) and a weekly coach’s show (Winters on Wednesdays). He also directs and oversees the University’s intramural and club sport programs and the Mort Harris Recreation and Fitness Center.

Furthermore, Wayne State is the only school in the country to designate a week of activities to promote Women’s Athletics as “W” Week will be having its seventh annual celebration in April 2016 highlighted by “W” Day. The addition of new programs in women’s indoor and outdoor track and field, and women’s golf follows an internal gender-equity plan designed to better opportunities.

Fournier served three years as a member of the NCAA regional-ranking football committee whose responsibilities include selecting the top teams in the region each week and the teams that advance to the postseason. He also spent three seasons on the NCAA softball regional ranking committee. He currently serves as a member of the GLIAC Finance Committee, while also serving on the infractions committee, scheduling committee and long-range budget planning committee.

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 (1999), he moved the league office from Toledo to Cleveland, wrote and secured a long-term contract for the men’s basketball tournament at 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 initial Motor City Bowl football contract that is the MAC’s longest postseason Bowl alignment. As the chief compliance officer for the league, Fournier investigated and reported on over 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 in 1999.

A licensed attorney, he 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 Akron in 1986 and was admitted to the Ohio bar that same year where he is still licensed to practice.

Winters’ 2008 squad became the first team in school history to be ranked in the AFCA poll. Earlier that year, he was one of 28 coaches nationally selected to participate in the 2008 NCAA Expert Coaches Academy.

Winters became the first WSU football coach to earn GLIAC Coach of the Year honors since Dick Lowry in 1975 following a successful 2006 campaign in which the Warriors ranked 10th nationally in kickoff returns, and 13th in both rushing offense and punt return defense. WSU was also ranked regionally until the final poll.

In 2006, Bell eclipsed the NCAA Division II freshman rushing record by gaining 2,065 yards and became the first WSU player named to the AFCA All-America squad since the AFCA began selecting All-America teams in 1945. Bell and David Chudzinski were also named to the AP Little, D2Football.com and Daktronics All-America squads and were joined by Derrion Fuqua on the Hansen’s Gazette AllAmerica team.

After helping the Warriors improve five places in the GLIAC standings from 2004 to 2005, WSU improved another four places in 2006 and recorded the first winning season in

more than a decade.

In his 10 years at WSU, Winters has coached 210 Academic All-GLIAC selections, 14 Academic All-District honorees, 31 AllRegion selections and 105 All-GLIAC award winners.

Winters was hired as the school’s 19th football coach by WSU Director of Athletics Rob Fournier on December 17, 2003, after serving on the staff at the University of Akron the previous nine years.

Prior to his appointment at WSU, Winters was listed as one of the top 10 African-American head coaching candidates in the nation by the Black Coaches Association.

After the 2000 season, and for the second time, Winters was nominated for the Broyles Award, a national honor recognizing the nation’s top Division I-A assistant coach. In addition, he was chosen Assistant Coach of the Year by the Northeastern Ohio Chapter of the National Football Foundation from among 13 universities and colleges in the region.

Before returning to Akron following the 1994 campaign, Winters was an assistant football coach at the University of Wisconsin for two seasons (1990-91). Prior to UW, he was on the coaching staff at the University of Toledo for four seasons (1986-89).

In his previous stint on the Akron coaching staff, Winters served on Jim Dennison’s staff as offensive backfield coach for two seasons after being a graduate assistant for the `82 and `83 campaigns.

Winters was inducted into the UA Athletic Hall of Fame on Feb. 2, 1990. He earned a bachelor of science degree in industrial management in `80 and a M.S. degree in education in 1984.

The seventh all-time leading rusher in school history, he rushed for 2,613 yards during his Zips career and was named 1980 UA Athlete of the Year. Winters was a three-time letterman and a three-time recipient of the Harry “Doc” Smith Award as the outstanding player in his class. In `79, Winters was selected as the Zips’ offensive MVP. He was a prep star at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary.

A former member of the AFCA Division II Board of Coaches, Winters currently serves on the NCAA Regional Ranking Committee as well as the NCAA Rules Committee.

Winters has four children, Christian, Monica, Melanie and Natalie and is married to the former Mya Hill.

Official Game Program

With your tax-deductible gift, payable over four years, you can personalize a locker in any of our three new locker room facilities by purchasing a locker plaque. The plaque will be engraved with your chosen personalization that is then affixed to a current studentathlete’s locker.

The Wayne State Department of Athletics prides itself on offering a first-class experience to our student-athletes. Our new and renovated facilities are helping do just that.

Conceived as a way to help fund the top-notch facilities for the student-athletes of today and tomorrow, our supporters can leave their permanent mark on the Warriors’ new facilities and help the department continue to offer our studentathletes the tools to make them successful in the classroom, on the field, and in the community.

HITTING STREAKS

Generally we think of hitting streaks as a personal achievement. Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak comes to mind as one of the greatest sports feats ever. In the case of the new locker rooms for baseball and softball, we are looking to string our hits together as a team to achieve the success necessary to be the best. For each person that steps up to the plate and delivers a hit by securing a locker in the new facilities, a hit will be added to the total goals of 20 games for softball and 40 games for baseball, based upon the number of lockers in each facility.
