NEW YORK CITY ISFrom its beginnings in a schoolhouse in lower Manhattan, Columbia University has grown to encompass two principal campus-es in New York City: the historic, neoclas-sical campus in the Morningside Heights neighborhood and the modern Medical Center further uptown, in Washington Heights.

In New York, the greatest city in the world has everything at your fingertips. A baseball game at Yankee Stadium, a world-class Broadway show, or just a ride around the city where neighborhoods flow freely into one another, New York has it all.

Today, Columbia is one of the top aca-demic and research institutions in the world, conducting pathbreaking research in medi-cine, science, the arts, and the humanities. It includes three undergraduate schools, thirteen graduate and professional schools, and a school of continuing education.

A member of the Ivy League, Columbia sponsors 29 intercollegiate varsity sports for men and women which compete at the Division I level. Columbia has won 11 Ivy League titles over the past three years, the most in any three-year span in school his-tory.

COLUMBIA - 5 - SOFTBALL

Kayla Noonan will begin her eighth season at the helm of Columbia’s

softball team and, after just 10 years as a varsity sport, Columbia Softball

has established its identity as a fundamentally sound, tight-knit group that

is ready to make the leap into the Ivy League’s elite.

Noonan has coached and recruited nearly all of Columbia’s school record-

holders, including 2009 graduate Keli Leong. Leong finished her career at

the top of five offensive categories, including batting average (.339), hits

(215), runs scored (95) and total bases (259).

Another Noonan recruit and 2007 graduate Kacy Krisman closed her career

as the program’s all-time leader in RBI, runs scored, stolen bases and

triples. Maiya Chard-Yaron, a member of Noonan’s first recruiting class and

a 2006 graduate, left Columbia as the all-time leader in runs scored after

setting the single-season record for hits (57) in 2006.

The Columbia mentor’s most recent recruiting classes have also paid

dividends. As a first-year, now-senior pitcher Aimee Kemp earned a pair

of Ivy League weekly awards and was the first Columbia first-year to earn

Pitcher of the Week honors. Kemp finished as a second team All-Ivy League

selection in 2007 and set a number of records while serving as the staff

workhorse.

Since Noonan has been at Columbia, her teams posted five straight 20-

win seasons from 2003-07. Noonan has coached and recruited the 2003

Ivy League Pitcher of the Year in Jackie Adelfio and has guided 29 All-

Ivy League selections, including six first team honorees over those five

seasons. In 2002, the team reached the ECAC Championship game against

Harvard and posted its best overall record in its three-year history with 27

wins and 23 losses. In 2001, the Lions were 26-25 and placed third in the

ECAC Championships.

Noonan joined the Columbia staff in the fall of 2001 after one year as an

assistant coach at Saginaw Valley State University in Michigan. She spent

four years as a catcher for Hofstra University’s nationally-ranked team; she

was the team’s MVP in 1998 and was an academic all-conference selection.

She also earned the Hofstra Scholar-Athlete Award and graduated in 1998

with a bachelor’s degree in humanities/literature.

Born in Bay City, Mich., Noonan grew up in nearby Essexville. She played

softball and basketball at All Saints Central High in Bay City. In addition to

her coaching duties at Columbia, she is working toward a master’s degree

in American studies.

ADRIENNE CLARKAssistant CoachSecond SeasonHofstra ’98

Adrienne Clark, one of the top pitchers in Hofstra University history and a member of Pride teams that won four straight Colonial Athletic Association titles, was named to the Columbia coaching staff in the fall of 2008.

After graduating from Hofstra in 2005, Clark spent three seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Delaware. She works primarily with Columbia’s pitching staff and outfielders.

Prior to her arrival on the Columbia campus, Clark served for three years under Blue Hen head coach B.J. Ferguson, acting as the Blue Hens’ pitching coach. She also worked with the Delaware outfielders, ran individual hitting sessions, oversaw the Blue Hens’ recruiting process and served as the team’s first base coach.

Clark made an immediate impact during her first season at Delaware in 2006, as the Blue Hens led the Colonial Athletic Association with a 2.03 earned run average. Delaware went 33-24 that season, tied for the second most wins in a year in school history, and advanced to the CAA Tournament.

As an undergrad at Hofstra, Clark helped lead the Pride to four straight CAA regular-season and post-season championships and four NCAA Regional appearances during her career and helped the team win 148 games during those seasons, including a school-record 43 victories in 2005 for Hall of Fame head coach Bill Edwards. Hofstra went 8-4 in the NCAA Tournament over her final three seasons and was one of only 12 teams in the nation to win at least two NCAA Tournament games in 2003, 2004, and 2005.

A native of Gibsonton, Fla., Clark was a two-time first team All-CAA selection, a three-time CAA All-Tournament selection, and was named to the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-Mid Atlantic Region team as a junior in 2004. She developed into one of the best big-game pitchers anywhere in the country, tallying a 5-1 record with one save in NCAA Division I Tournament play over her final three seasons, with four of those wins coming in 1-0 decisions. Clark had a streak of 31 straight shutout innings as a starter in the NCAA Tournament at one point. She was named to the NCAA Regional All-Tournament team in 2003 and 2004.

While an undergraduate, Clark worked as a softball camp counselor at both the University of South Florida and Hofstra summer camps, and was active as a pitching instructor at the youth level. She also worked as a sports facilities assistant and athletics tour guide at Hofstra and was active with the Hofstra Student Athlete Advisory Council.

As a member of SAAC, she was involved with activities such as a 9/11 T-Shirt Drive, was a Special Olympics volunteer, was as a reader for Head Start child care, was involved with the CAA Blood Challenge, and took part in holiday food drives and adopt-a-family programs.

Clark earned her bachelor’s degree in business administration and marketing from Hofstra in May of 2005. She is currently pursuing her master’s in sports management at Columbia.

LAUREN PROCTORAssistant CoachSecond SeasonMassachusetts ’08Former UMass softball standout Lauren Proctor joined the Columbia coaching staff as a volunteer assistant coach in the fall of 2008.

Proctor, who graduated from the school with a degree in English and journalism, was named the 2008 University of Massachusetts Female Scholar

Athlete of the Year.

A two-time ESPN The Magazine Division I NCAA Softball Academic All-American, Proctor was also honored as a three-time ESPN The Magazine All-District selection, a three-time NFCA All-Northeast Region selection, an Atlatic-10 All-Academic team honoree and earned A-10 All-Conference second team honors.

Proctor will assist with the Columbia softball team on a voluntary basis while pursuing her master’s degree at NYU, in the Gallatin School of Individualized Studies.

Debora L. Spar was named President of Barnard College in June 2008. She is the Spangler Family Professor of Business Administration and has been Senior Associate Dean for Faculty Research and Development at Harvard Business School. In one, she epitomizes the teacher-scholar model that is the linchpin of Barnard’s superb faculty. In the other, she has been a stellar administrator who has brought innovative leadership to governance issues. And despite the demands of both, she has also devoted herself to the concerns of social justice that are so important to our students; she has served as Chair of the Harvard University Committee on Human Rights and is the creator and Chair of Making Markets Work, a program to develop leaders in both the private and public sector in African nations.

As Senior Associate Dean, Professor Spar was responsible for distributing nearly $20 million in research funds by working closely with faculty on their project goals and demands. She instituted a fellowship that allows faculty

members to live abroad to work on international research, and a program that brings visiting scholars from other countries to Harvard. Professor Spar also developed a new policy on family leave and led the effort to develop a part-time tenure track.

Professor Spar has been awarded the Student Association Faculty Award for Outstanding Teaching and often serves as an advisor for students on research projects. She is the author of dozens of the case studies that are used in Harvard Business School classes. These reflect her expertise in both international affairs and ethical issues, and include “The Pharmaceutical Industry Responds to AIDS,” “Union Carbide’s Bhopal Plant,” and “Nike and International Labor Practices.” She frequently acts as a consultant for multinational corporations, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations.

Professor Spar has written four books and co-authored two. Her most recent, “The Baby Business,” was published in 2006 and explored the economic, political and social issues surrounding reproductive technologies. She has appeared on 60 Minutes, The Newshour with Jim Lehrer, ABC World News Tonight, and in many newspapers and magazines. Her own articles have appeared in publications ranging from The New England Journal of Medicine to Foreign Affairs to The Review of International Political Economy.

Professor Spar received her doctorate in government from Harvard; her thesis on international commodity cartels was published as a book in 1994. She is a 1984 graduate of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service. She is married to Miltos Catomeris, an architect whose specialty is academic, institutional and corporate campuses. They are the parents of three children.

DR. M. DIANNE MURPHYDirector, Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical EducationWhen Columbia University President Lee C. Bollinger set out to hire a new athletics director in 2004, he knew he needed someone with the vision to attain national excellence and put Columbia Athletics on par with the rest of the University, one of the greatest in the world. Five years later, there is little doubt that Dr. M. Dianne Murphy was the perfect fit for Columbia.

Now beginning her sixth full year as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education, Murphy has

presided over the three most successful years in recent Columbia Athletics history, including tangible improvements in football, men and women’s basketball, and a combined 11 Ivy League titles over the past three years – the most in any three-year span in school history.

Murphy has been Columbia University’s Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education since November 2004. In five years at the helm of the athletics program at Columbia, she has demonstrated the same passion and commitment to achieving excellence in intercollegiate athletics that has marked her entire career as an athletics administrator.

She has overseen a number of initiatives aimed at transforming the experience of Columbia’s more than 800 student-athletes. She has undertaken a complete strategic planning process aimed at short- and long-term excellence in athletics.

She has attracted several new high-level head coaches and administrators to the program, and spearheaded the creation of the Columbia Athletics Hall of Fame, which had its inaugural ceremony on February 18, 2006. The second Athletics Hall of Fame class was inducted on October 2, 2008.

During the 2008-09 academic year, Murphy spearheaded the celebration of the Columbia-Barnard Athletic Consortium Silver Anniversary, honoring 25 years of women’s athletics at Columbia. She also initiated the Leaders for Life program, designed to provide comprehensive leadership training to student-athlete representatives from all 29 of Columbia’s varsity sports programs.

In 2006-07, women’s golf won an Ivy League title in just its fourth season as a varsity program, and women’s soccer won its first-ever Ivy League crown. The All-American Football Foundation recognized the success of the football program under Murphy, and, in March 2007, selected her as one of two recipients of the General Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award for excellence in football.

The Lions’ trend of success continued in 2007-08, when four Columbia teams won Ivy League championships, including the first title in nine years for men’s golf and the first in 31 years for baseball. To cap a memorable year, Murphy was named the Football Championship Subdivision Administrator of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletics Administrators.

In 2008-09, men’s golf and men’s tennis continued their excellence within the Ivy League as the Lions won their second straight Ivy League title in men’s golf and the second league championship in three years in men’s tennis.

Murphy came to Columbia after six years as Director of Athletics and Recreation at the University of Denver, where she led the Pioneers’ program from NCAA Division II to one of the nation’s top Division I athletics programs. Under Murphy’s leadership, eight Denver sport programs made NCAA tournament appearances and, on four occasions, Denver teams won a national title.In 2003-04, Denver enjoyed its best season when it won the NCAA Division I Men’s Ice Hockey Championship, placed third in the NCAA Skiing Championship, and advanced to NCAA tournaments in women’s soccer, women’s tennis, and men and women’s golf.

The scope of Denver’s athletics excellence was recognized nationally through the United States Sports Academy’s Directors’ Cup, which recognized the best overall athletics programs in the nation, determined by an award of points based on teams’ finishes. The University of Denver finished among the nation’s top third of athletics programs in each of its six years since becoming a Division I member in 1998-99. In 2004, the Pioneers set a University record when they finished 58th in the Directors’ Cup, in the top 20 percent of all NCAA Division I schools.

Denver’s athletics program served as a model for national and regional academic, as well as athletics, excellence. The Pioneers gained numerous academic honors, among them the Sun Belt Conference Graduation Rate Award, which it earned for five consecutive years.
