2010 SOFTBALL QUICK FACTS

2 0 1 0 U n i v e r s i t y o f R h o d e I s l a n d S o f t b a l l2

THE URI SOFTBALL COMPLEX, which is fully-enclosed and includes bullpens and a batting cage, has been the site of three Atlantic 10 Championships. The batting cages are located behind the third-base dugout, and there are bullpens located on each side of the !eld for home and visitors. The out!eld also features a sprinkler system, which helps keep the out!eld grass green throughout the season.

OVER THE OFFSEASONThe URI Softball Complex underwent serveral changes as the warning track was widened, the fence cap was replaced and the dugout !oor was slanted for better drainage.


THE RHODY RAMS HAVE SOME OF THE BEST FACILITIES IN THE ATLANTIC 10. The URI Athletic Complex - which is made up of the Mackal Field House, Keaney Gymnasium, Tootell Athletic Center and the Thomas M. Ryan Center - is the home of the Rhode Island baseball indoor practice and training facilities. URI is planning to begin construction on a new 10,000 square-foot weight room as part of the Student-Athlete Development Center - a major component of the University's Making a Di!erence Campaign.

STATE-OF-THE-ART WEIGHT ROOM With over $2 million pledged, URI's new 10,000 square-foot state-of-the-art strength & conditioning center (pictured right) is entering the design phase. The new facility will help propel Rhode Island to the top of the Atlantic 10 Conference in terms of strength & conditioning space.

PRACTICE AND TRAINING FACILITIES The Rams have access to several training facilities throughout the year, including the indoor batting cages and pool in the Tootell Athletic Center (pictured below).

THE UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND is the largest university in the nation’s smallest state, but with 12,793 undergraduates and 3,111 graduate/professional students, URI is small enough to be friendly, intimate, safe and student-centered. In part because of its of its unique location - six miles from Rhode Island’s coastal beaches and the Narragansett Bay - the University has developed strong marine programs and has been designated a national Sea Grant institution.

HISTORY The University was chartered as the state’s agricultural school in 1888. The Oliver Watson farm was purchased as a site for the school, and the old farmhouse, now restored, still stands on the campus. The school became the Rhode Island College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1892, and the !rst class of 17 members was graduated two years later. The Morrill Act of 1862 provided for the sale of public lands. Income from these sales was to be used to create at least one college in each state with the principal purpose of teaching agriculture and mechanic arts. From this grant of land comes the term “land grant,” which applied to the national system of state colleges. In a later adaptation of the concept, federal funds given to colleges for marine research and extension are called “sea grants.” In 1909 the name of the college was changed to Rhode Island State College, and the program of study was revised and expanded. In 1951 the college became the University of Rhode Island by an act of the General Assembly. The Board of Governors for Higher Education, appointed by the governor, became the governing body of the University in 1981.

ACADEMICS The University conferred a total of 2,837 degrees at its 2008 Commencement, including 2,201 bachelor’s degrees, 481 master’s degrees, 68 doctoral and 87 doctor of pharmacy degrees (six-year pharmacy program).

THE FACULTY The University’s 589 faculty members are drawn from across the country and throughout the world. With a student-to-faculty ratio of 16.5-to-1, Rhode Island o"ers personal attention, as well as the resources of a large research university. While class size varies, two-thirds of all undergraduate courses are taught in classes of 29 students or fewer.

THE STUDENTS The University’s 12,793 undergraduate and 3,111 graduate/professional students come from all over the world. The 323 international students represent 64 di"erent countries and regions.

DIVERSITY The Multicultural Student Services sta! is part of the Division of Student A!airs and sponsors programs and seminars for all students. Some examples of multicultural events are Asian Awareness Month; Black History Month; Cape Verdean Awareness Week; Career Day; Diversity Week; Latino Student Leadership Conference; Martin Luther King Week; Unity Weekend; and Women of Color Conference.

HOUSING University students live in the 22 residence halls on campus, which include rooms with provisions for students with disabilities. Residence hall housing is guaranteed to freshmen who enter in the fall term. There are four graduate and undergraduate apartment complexes, as well as the Rainbow Diversity House. More than 1,600 students participate in the fraternity-sorority system - more than 600 of which reside in fraternity and sorority houses. Others choose to live in rented rooms or houses near the ocean, just a short drive from campus.

THE URI CAMPUS & BEYOND The University of Rhode Island is located in the historic village of Kingston within a suburban area of approximately 55,000 people, close to the ocean and major beaches. The 1,200-acre rural campus is a handsome mix of ivy-covered buildings and contemporary architecture. Just 30 miles south of Providence, the campus is within easy reach of Newport, Boston, and New York City by car or convenient public transportation.

ALUMNI INVOLVEMENT There are more than 100,900 active URI alumni. The states with the most active alumni are: Rhode Island, 43,107; Massachusetts, 12,518, Connecticut, 7,061; New York, 5,326 and New Jersey, 4,910. GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT In 2009, the University opened several new buildings and research centers. Among them were the $54 million, 140,000 square-foot Center for Biotechnology and Life Sciences on the Kingston campus, as well as the $15 million, 41,000 square-foot Ocean Science and Exploration Center and the Pell Marine Science Library at the Narragansett Bay Campus.

In addition, groundbreaking ceremonies were held for a $2.2 million, 5,000 square-foot Hillel Center (opening this winter) and a $5 million, 22,000 square-foot Hellenic Studies Center Paideia, which will include an open air amphitheater.

In the spring of 2007, University o"cials unveiled projects totaling more than $120 million to improve the student experience, including a new dining hall, new suite- and apartment-style undergraduate housing, renovations to existing residence halls, and 1,400 new parking spaces for students. The 800-bed, $68 million housing project is the largest construction e!ort in University history.

The new $22 million, 42,229-square-foot Hope Commons opened in August, 2007 and features the latest in the college dining experience with food stations. Each station has its own theme and culinary o!erings.

URI CORNERSTONES The University of Rhode Island is a principled community guided by values. As members of this community, we subscribe to the following principles, which form the foundation of our endeavors:

• We pursue knowledge with honesty, integrity, and courage • We promote independent choice, intellectual curiosity, open-mindedness and free expression • We respect the rights and dignity of each individual and group • We reject prejudice and intolerance, and we work to understand di!erences • We accept personal responsibility for our actions and their consequences • We actively cooperate to improve the University, the state of Rhode Island, and the global community beyond our borders • We strive to be a community where the environment and property are treated respectfully • We seek to create and maintain an environment conducive to personal health and wellness • We work to develop skills which promote lifelong learning, leadership and service

A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY The University o!ers the only academic programs in the world that merge the disciplines of oceanography, ocean engineering, archeology and maritime history to study sunken ships of antiquity. Led by world-renowned oceanographer Dr. Robert Ballard, who found the Titanic, the program is focusing its research on Phoenician and Bronze Age ships in the Black Sea and eastern Mediterranean.

RHODE ISLAND is centrally located between three major cities - all easily accessible by car or train. Boston is about an hour away, while New York City is just under three hours away, and Hartford, Conn. is less than two hours away. Many of the adjoining states and sights in New England are just a short trip away by car, train or ferry. The smallest of the 50 states, “Little Rhody” was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams and also has the longest o!cial state name - “The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.”

EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE The University of Rhode Island is the state’s largest university, with an enrollment of 12,793 undergraduate and 3,111 graduate/professional student on its four campuses. With nationally- and internationally-known faculty members engaged in a broad range of teaching, research and outreach activities, URI is renowned in many areas, including biotechnology, oceanography, environmental sciences, engineering, and public health promotion.

THE 2008-09 ACADEMIC YEAR saw many of Rhode Island’s teams continue to build on their previous season’s successes. The Rhody baseball team led the way, recording a program-best 37 victories with wins over No. 8 Miami, No. 11 Oklahoma State and No. 25 Ohio State. Making their seventh consecutive appearance in the Atlantic 10 Championship - the league’s longest active streak - the Rams earned a !rst-round bye before defeating third-seeded Xavier (7-6) and top-seeded Dayton (9-2) to advance to the championship game. The URI women’s tennis program was equally as impressive, turning in a 15-4 record - including a perfect 6-0 mark in the fall - and winning its third consecutive New England Championship title. The Rhode Island men’s basketball team won 23 games en route to earning a spot in the postseason NIT for the second straight year while URI’s football team captured the Governor’s Cup for the third consecutive season and the sixth time in the last eight years. Appearing in A-10 tournament for the sixth year in a row in 2008, the Rhody men’s soccer program also holds the league’s best active streak for consecutive appearances at the conference championship. The URI men’s track & !eld squad captured the team title at the New England Outdoor Championship while placing second at the Atlantic 10 indoor and outdoor meets. The Rhody women, meanwhile, !nished third at each of the conference championship meets while URI’s rowing team !nished runner-up at the Atlantic 10 Championship.

URI’S STUDENT!ATHLETES EXCEL IN THE COMMUNITY as well as in competition and the classroom. Members of Rhody’s 18 athletic teams participate in a wide-variety of community service projects, from clinics, to charity events to “Reading Week” - an annual department-wide venture which places student-athletes in local elementary schools. URI’s Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) helps organize many of these activities, as well as the highly successful “Pink Out” - which began in 2006 as the !rst-ever breast cancer charity event linked to an NCAA Division I men’s basketball game.

University of Rhode Island student-athletes are active in the community, participating in activities such as: Walk to D’Feet ALS; Jonnycake Center Thanksgiving Food Drive; Date-a-Jock Charity Auction; the annual “Pink Out” to bene!t breast cancer awareness; The Autism Project of Rhode Island walk (pictured above); Habitat for Humanity; Grassroots Soccer (pictured at right); and Reading Week.

“We want to be champions in the three most important areas: in competition, in the classroom, and in the community.” - Thorr Bjorn, URI Director of Athletics

1. Describe your style of play…What should Rhody Softball fans expect from the Rams in 2010? Exciting, high energy, fundamentally sound softball on defense! On o"ense, our team will be aggressive with the bat and on the bases.

2. Describe your recruiting philosophy and some of the speci!c things you look for in potential student-athletes. Our softball recruits are strong student-athletes interested in URI for all it has to o"er. We recruit good people for the softball program that are willing to work hard in the classroom and on the !eld. Our softball student-athletes are great ambassadors for URI.

3. In your opinion, what are the keys to maintaining the balance between athletics and academics? Four big keys to academic and athletic balance are: preparation, goal setting, organization and pride. Our softball student-athletes put pride into their studies, practices and play.

4. What are your thoughts on the Atlantic 10 Conference and what it takes to be successful in this league? The A-10 is a strong softball conference. To be successful, URI needs to hit well, have strong pitching and play solid team defense. Last season, the fourth-place team was separated from the 10th place team by .051 hitting average. We cannot give up four runs in a conference game.

5. What is your favorite thing about coaching at the University of Rhode Island? I like everything about URI. There is no way I can pick just one thing. New England is a great place to live. URI has a beautiful campus. The athletic department has great leadership, support and awesome facilities.

6. What goes into building a winning program? Building a winning program is a very big challenge for all of the student-athletes, coaches and support sta" involved with the program. A program is tested year after year and !nds success on many levels by the student-athletes in the program on the !eld and in the classroom. Consistency, leadership, strong communication and relentless e"ort are some of the ingredients in winning programs.

7. What are some of the bene!ts playing at the URI Softball Complex? URI has a beautiful campus and a great softball complex. This summer, we renovated the softball !eld. The student-athletes were very excited to practice on the new in!eld surface. We made the warning track wider, replaced the fence cap and slanted the dugout #oor for better drainage.

8. What has been your favorite road trip since you began coaching here? Every game last year provided an opportunity to learn more about our student-athletes and gave us a chance to compete and improve. We had many great trips last year - close to campus and far away. Our schedule gives us the opportunity to play in the south and all over the Mid-Atlantic and New England regions.

9. How much emphasis do you place on academics?Our student-athletes understand their classes will prepare them for their professional future. They are self-motivated young women that use all of the academic resources available at URI. We, as a program, hold study hours on campus throughout the year and especially on road trips during the spring semester. Our student-athletes have many interests and we have many di"erent academic majors represented in our program: Human Development, Nursing, Pharmacy, Exercise Physiology, Accounting, Business, Law, Marine Biology, Engineering and Education.

10. How do you keep your teams engaged in the community and active with alums? Our team will hold two alumni events this year – a reception before the Women’s Basketball game against UMass on January 30 and our alumni game May 2. We are always looking for any opportunity to contribute to the community.

The presidents and chancellors of Atlantic 10 institutions have made a strong commitment to making the academic and athletics equation work. Over the years, the league membership has strived to better recognize the academic accomplishments of its student-athletes. In doing so, the Atlantic 10 instituted the Commissioner’s Honor Roll, which cites every Atlantic 10 student-athlete with a 3.5 or better semester grade point average. Nearly 1,200 student-athletes were named to the Fall 2008 Honor Roll and over 1,100 were named to the Spring 2009 Honor Roll. The league sponsors Academic All-Conference teams in each of its sports and honors one student-athlete per sport as the A-10 Student-Athlete of the Year. In 2008-09, over 180 student-athletes earned Academic All-Conference recognition. In addition, the league names a male and female Scholar-Athlete of the Year in each A-10 sport. The Atlantic 10 also provides postgraduate scholarship grants to quali!ed student-athletes.

The Atlantic 10 Conference, with a total population of nearly 74 million people within its geographic footprint of eight states and the District of Columbia, will crown champions in 21 sports this year: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, !eld hockey, men’s golf, women’s lacrosse, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track & !eld, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming & diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

THE ATLANTIC 10 CONFERENCE... On March 2, 1975, the idea of what is now the Atlantic 10 Conference was conceived. What started as an eight-school, men’s basketball-only a!liation has grown into a 14-university, 21-sport league that is universally hailed as one of the best conferences in the country. That growth and prominence is a direct result of the ideals and commitments of the member institutions of the Atlantic 10 - the University of Dayton, Duquesne University, Fordham University, The George Washington University, La Salle University, University of Massachusetts, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, University of Rhode Island, University of Richmond, St. Bonaventure University, Saint Joseph’s University, Saint Louis University, Temple University, and Xavier University.

A Booster’s Guide To NCAA Rules & RegulationsThe Atlantic 10 Conference, in conjunction with the Athletics Department at the University of Rhode Island, as members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, are primarily responsible for insuring that its various constituencies (i.e. University sta! and faculty, student-athletes, alumni and friends) abide by the NCAA rules and regulations. Under those rules, alumni and friends can be categorized as “representatives of the University’s athletic interests.” The following information was compiled to assist alumni and friends in complying with NCAA Rules and regulations governing the conduct of our Institution and it’s athletics programs.

Am I a Representative of Athletic Interests? YES, If you have ever:• Been a member of the University’s “booster” organization or any of the sport speci"c groups under the athletic department. • Made a donation to any of the Atlantic 10 member schools’ men’s or women’s athletic programs.• Helped to arrange or have provided summer employment for enrolled student-athletes.• Contacted (by letter, telephone or in person) a high school student, grades 9-12, for the purpose of encouraging the student to participate in URI’s Athletics programs. • Assisted in providing any bene"t to enrolled student-athletes or their families.• Been involved in any way with the University of Rhode Island’s Athletics programs.The NCAA stipulates that once you have become an “athletic representative” you retain that identi!cation forever, even if you no longer contribute to the athletic program.

Four Important Rules You Should KnowRule #1: Only coaches and athletics department sta! members can be involved in the recruiting process. All “athletic representatives” who are not employed by the school are prohibited from contacting a prospect or members of the prospect’s family by telephone, letter or in person on or o! campus for the purpose of encouraging participation in the URI’s athletic programs.Rule #2: University of Rhode Island representatives cannot provide an “extra bene"t” or special arrangement to a prospect OR an enrolled student-athlete. Speci"c applications as they apply to the NCAA extra bene"t rule to prospects and enrolled student-athletes, their relatives or friends state that you:May not give them cash or loans in any amount; May not sign or co-sign a note with an outside agency to arrange a loan; May not employ relatives or friends of a prospect as an inducement for the enrollment of the prospect; May not give them gifts of any kind (e.g. birthday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day) or free services (e.g. clothing, airline tickets, laundry, car repair, hair cuts, meals in restaurants); May not provide special discounts for goods or services; May not provide them hospitality in your home other than for special occasions (e.g. Thanksgiving, birthday); May not invite them to your summer home to go water skiing, sailing, etc; May not provide them transportation within or outside of the campus area (e.g., from campus to your home, from the airport to campus, to summer job, etc.); May not entertain or contact a prospect or prospect’s family on or o! campus; May not provide rent free or reduced rent housing; May not provide a bene"t connected with on or o! campus housing (e.g. individual television sets or stereo equipment, specialized recreational facilities, etc.); May not provide guarantee of a bond; May not promise "nancial aid for post-graduate education; May not provide promise to a prospect of employment after college graduation.Rule #3: PLEASE assist the coaching sta! in the recruiting process by notifying them of any student you think would be a strong addition to the University of Rhode Island’s athletics program. The coach can then make the appropriate contact with the prospect.Rule #4: As an athletic representative, you are not precluded from continuing friendships with families who have prospective or enrolled student-athletes (e.g., backyard barbecues, picnics). You simply cannot encourage a prospect’s participation in the University of Rhode Island’s athletic programs or provide bene"ts to the student-athlete that you were not providing before he or she became a prospect or enrolled student-athlete.

Who is a Prospective Student-Athlete?A prospective student-athlete is a person who has begun classes for the ninth grade. However, it is possible for a younger student to be a prospect, so it is prudent to treat ALL athletes as prospects.

Can “I” be involved with High School and Community College Student-Athletes (Prospects)PLEASE feel free to attend high school and community college athletic events. You simply cannot have any contact with the prospective student-athletes or relatives. Should you "nd yourself seated next to parents of a prospect, DO NOT initiate conversation with the relatives. If conversation is initiated with you, respond in a civil manner but DO NOT discuss the University of Rhode Island’s athletics program with them. If they raise questions about the program, remind them that the NCAA prohibits you from discussing the program with them. Direct their questions to the University of Rhode Island’s Athletics Department.CONTINUE established family relationships with friends and neighbors. Contacts with sons or daughters of these families certainly are permitted as long as they are not made for recruiting purposes and are not initiated by the University of Rhode Island’s coaching sta! members. You are permitted to play “pick-up” basketball or softball games, continue neighborhood picnics or backyard barbecues and engage in your normal activities with prospects and their parents who are family friends. Again, you simply cannot attempt to recruit the prospect.PLEASE feel free to attend a public event (e.g. an awards banquet or dinner) at which prospects are in attendance. No attempt should be made to recruit the prospect.PLEASE send to the University of Rhode Island’s coaching sta! any information about prospects that you think would be of interest. Your assistance in this manner is very helpful. The coaching sta! will then make contact with the prospect.PLEASE feel free to o!er assistance to members of the University of Rhode Island’s coaching sta! who are recruiting in your community.

Whom Do I Contact?If you have any questions about contact with a prospective or enrolled student-athlete, please direct these questions to:

NCAA COMPLIANCE - RULES & REGULATIONS


DR. DAVID M. DOOLEYUniversity of Rhode Island President

B.A., University of California, San Diego, 1974 Ph. D., California Institute of Technology, 1979

As Dr. David M. Dooley embarks on his !rst year as president of the University of Rhode Island, he aims to strengthen the sense of community and discovery. With a strong background in research Dooley believes every student at the University should gain experience in research and creative work, regardless of their !eld of study.

"We have to integrate the entire undergraduate experience into the academic goals and missions of the University," Dooley said. "We want students to feel everything they are doing at URI will help them achieve their goals."

A native of California, Dooley earned a bachelor of arts in chemistry from the University of California in San Diego and a doctorate in chemistry from California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. He was selected in May from among three !nalists for the University of Rhode Island position after a nationwide search that attracted 55 candidates.

Dooley has more than 30 years of experience working in higher education and places high value on giving students a well-rounded university experience.

"It's a simple fact that the kinds of skills that the students are going to need for the future are the kinds of skills and experiences that are going to be hard to come by in the formal classroom. We need to prepare students for things we don't yet know exist," Dooley said.

Dooley comes to URI from Montana State University in Bozeman, Mont., where he served as provost and vice president of academic a"airs. He had nearly 16 years experience as chief academic o#cer and department chair. He led the chemistry and biochemistry department for six years before being named interim provost and vice president for academic a"airs in June 1999, a position he was appointed to permanently in June 2001.

Even after taking the post as provost and vice president of academic a"airs, Dooley maintained an active laboratory at Montana State. The National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation have funded his research.

Dooley also chaired the university's planning, budget and analysis committee, which is responsible for strategic planning, assessment and for setting the university's operating budget. He also managed the university's international partnerships. As Chair, his responsibilities included setting the agenda, guiding the processes of budget development, planning, and priority setting, moderating discussion, and presenting the budget to the University community and the President. He also served as the principal representative for the committee to external constituencies, the media, and the public.

A strong believer in shared governance, Dooley helped foster a strong culture of collaborative process at Montana State. This approach earned the University status as a major research university, ranked in the Carnegie “Very High Research” category.

During Dooley’s service as Provost, he was a central !gure in attracting research dollars to Montana State, as annual research expenditures there grew from $45 million in 1999 to more than $100 million in 2007 while he was there.

Montana State committed itself to excellence in undergraduate education and to the success of its students. Dooley helped lead the strategic planning process that incorporated these goals and values into Montana State’s Five-Year Vision - which is assessed and updated annually - and the university’s marketing plan.

Working closely with faculty, he fostered the development of a nationally-recognized, new core curriculum that includes a required !rst-year seminar taught in small sections, quantitative reasoning, writing, inquiry courses in the major disciplinary areas, contemporary issues in science, diversity, and an undergraduate research experience. He also developed new interdisciplinary undergraduate degrees in Liberal Studies and American Studies based in the new University College; a new undergraduate major in Paleontology, Bioengineering, and Medical Laboratory Science; and minors in Latin American and Latino Studies and Museum Studies.

Focused on building student success and community, Dooley expanded Montana State’s central academic advising o#ce and added an advisor especially for students changing majors. He provided leadership to a multi-campus e"ort to substantially improve transferability in the Montana University System, and he created the Academic Advising Council to develop university-wide improvements in advising and to identify and share best practices.

The University also instituted convocation, particularly targeting !rst-year students; established learning centers for mathematics and chemistry in residence halls; and improved relationships with the Athletics Department to enhance the success of student-athletes. Like URI, Montana State is a#liated with NCAA Division I athletics, with football competing in the Football Championship Subdivision.

Dooley played a role in adding new Ph.D. programs in Animal and Range Science, Neuroscience, Ecology and Environmental Science, History (!rst Ph.D. in the humanities at MSU), Computer Science, Earth Sciences (including Paleontology) and Molecular Biosciences (a multidisciplinary, cross-departmental program). New Ph.D programs English (emphasizing the public humanities) and a novel collaborative Ph.D. in American Studies with European university partners were in the !nal stages of planning when he left Montana State.

Montana State added M.S./M.A. degrees in Native American Studies, Neuroscience, Ecology and Environmental Science, Environmental and Ecological Statistics, Science and Natural History Filmmaking, and the Art History during Dooley’s tenure.

With the senior leadership at Montana State, Dooley led the implementation of a new budget and planning process. With the Vice President for Administration and Finance, and the Vice President for Research, he had a lead role in securing the approval for the new $24 million Chemistry and Biochemistry building. Dooley represented the University to the Legislature to secure funding for the renovation of the former chemistry building into a state-of-the-art instructional facility (approximately $34 million).

In the area of diversity and internationalization Dooley led the e"ort to upgrade the Native American Studies Program to full departmental status. He made recruitment of women and other under-representative groups into leadership and faculty positions an academic priority. Five of Montana State’s nine deans are women and one is Native American.

Dooley increased Montana State’s emphasis on international partnerships, leading to new relationships with, among others, Norway, Kazakhstan, the United Arab Emirates, Mongolia, Japan, India, Korea, and Turkey. The relationship with Turkey led to the development of novel dual degree programs with Turkish universities.

Several new institutes and divisions were established at Montana State during Dooley’s time, including the Energy Research Institute for comprehensive energy research, including carbon sequestration, clean coal technology, fuel cell technology, materials science, wind energy, solar energy, and biofuels. Montana State is the lead institution in a partnership that was recently awarded $66.9 million from the Department of Energy for Phase III research on carbon sequestration. Partners include several major research universities and national laboratories.

Also developed were the Humanities Institute for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies in the humanities; the Big Sky Institute for interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary studies of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem; the Division of Health Sciences, to provide leadership and coordination for research and \education in health and biomedical disciplines, as well as fostering interdisciplinary research and education; and the Center for Native Health Partnerships for community based public health research and outreach on tribal reservations.

His career began in higher education in 1978 as an assistant professor at Amherst College in Amherst, Mass. and later became a full professor and department chair there.

Dooley's wife, Lynn Baker-Dooley, is a Baptist minister. The couple has two adult children, Chris and Samantha, and a dog named Rhody.

UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT


THORR BJORNUniversity of Rhode Island Director of Athletics

B.A., University of Massachusetts, 1990 M.Ed., University of Massachusetts, 1995

In late July, 2007, Thorr Bjorn became the 11th Director of Athletics in University of Rhode Island history. Since that day, he has worked tirelessly to instill a new championship culture in Kingston.

"We want to be champions in the three most important areas: in competition, in the classroom, and in the community," Bjorn said. "Our athletics department is wholly committed to making the necessary changes in order to achieve a true winning attitude."

In competition, Rhode Island's 2008-09 athletics programs showed the results of Bjorn's championship culture and his commitment to excellence in all facets. The baseball team won a program-record 37 games, defeating four nationally ranked opponents - including a shutout at No. 8 and national powerhouse Miami. The men's basketball team won 23 games and advanced to the second round of the National Invitation Tournament.

In the classroom, 151 Rhode Island student-athletes earned a 3.5 grade-point average or better and were named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioners Honor Roll. Jimmy Baron, a member of the men's basketball team, was named to the 2009 ESPN the Magazine Second Team Academic All-American and earned the ECAC Robbins Scholar-Athlete of the Year. Three others: Shayna Daugherty (women's track & !eld), Grace Hedstrom (women's tennis) and Oliver Palmer (baseball) earned ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District honors.

"It is a true point of pride to have so many of our student-athletes being honored for their academic achievements," said Bjorn. "To have so many of our student-athletes performing on and o" the !eld of competition is a tribute to the hard work of so many involved with Rhode Island Athletics."

Many of the Rams' athletic programs and student-athletes have made an impact in the community. Several teams participated in a local National Reading Week promotion this past April, traveling to local elementary schools to read and interact with the students. The volleyball team took part in a Habitat for Humanity activity, while the baseball team participated in the Rhode Island Autism Project walk during the fall. Head coach Joe Trainer and the football program organized a bone marrow drive during the spring.

Additionally, URI athletics sponsored its third annual "Pink Out" during a nationally televised men's basketball game, which raised more than $19,000 for a local breast cancer awareness charity.

Bjorn's championship attitude is rooted in a philosophy in which everyone in the URI athletics department is a fundraiser and marketer.

"We need to be tireless in our e"orts to bring in external dollars - not just to sustain, but rather to grow all of our programs," Bjorn explained. "As we go out into the community, we have the opportunity to `sell' URI and our mission to our current and future donors, sponsors and ticket buyers. We have to continue to move forward and become increasingly creative in how we accomplish our goals."

Bjorn has helped cultivate donations of close to 2 million dollars toward the Student-Athlete Development Center (SADC) which includes the construction of a new 8,000-10,000 square foot weight room, along with renovated athletic training room and academic support area.

"To reach that dollar amount in such a short period of time shows the tremendous passion for URI athletics by our alumni and friends," he added. "We expect that this is just the beginning, as we work to raise $3.5 million for the SADC and another $1.5 million for other important athletic facility upgrades under the umbrella of the University's `Making a Di"erence' capital campaign."

He serves as chair of the Atlantic 10 scheduling policy committee, while sitting on the A-10's television and men's basketball championship site selection committees. On the national level, Bjorn was recently named to the NCAA Division I women's rowing committee.

Bjorn came to Kingston after spending 15 years at his alma mater - the University of Massachusetts - in a variety of athletic administrative roles. At the time of his hire, Bjorn had entered his fourth year as the senior associate athletic director at UMass, serving as the day-to-day sport supervisor for football and ice hockey, while also overseeing the men's and women's lacrosse programs.

He directly supervised the UMass athletic marketing sta", corporate sales - including the UMass Radio Network, coaches shows and signage - and ticket operations. Bjorn also served as liaison between the athletic department and Global Spectrum - the management company for the William D. Mullins Center, home of UMass basketball and hockey.

Bjorn played an integral role in UMass' department-wide apparel deal with Adidas, oversaw all aspects of the funding and installation of a multi-million dollar video scoreboard system in the Mullins Center, and helped to secure funding sources for a new arti!cial surface at McGuirk Alumni Stadium - home of the nationally-ranked Minutemen football program.

From Sept. 2003-Feb. 2004, Bjorn was the interim athletic director at UMass. In that role, he oversaw all the department, including supervising a senior administrative sta" of 10 associate and assistant athletic directors, as well as the head football, men's basketball, and men's ice hockey. During his tenure, he negotiated a contract extension with Don "Toot" Cahoon, head men's ice hockey coach, and was the athletic department liaison in a viability study on elevating to Division I-A (now "BCS") football status.

After a three-year stint as the director of regional sales and marketing for Resorts Sports Network in Portland, Maine, Bjorn returned to UMass in April of 2003 as the Associate AD/External A"airs. At RSN - a company which provides cable systems with programming at ski resorts - he was personally accountable for $1 million in television and web advertising revenue.

In his role as Associate AD, Bjorn was responsible for soliciting all radio and television advertising and corporate sponsorship dollars for the athletic department, Mullins Center, and UMass Magazine - a total exceeding $1 million dollars. Under his watch, annual sponsorship revenue increased by over 135 percent. Bjorn also directed the department's retail merchandise program, coordinated advertising campaigns and directed the ticket o#ce. He also established "MinuteFan Park," an interactive fan experience at McGuirk Alumni Stadium.

After graduating from UMass and spending six months as an intern in the business o#ce at the University of Connecticut, he returned to his alma mater as Assistant Athletic Director for Tickets and Game Operations in December of 1990, a position he held until being promoted in 1996.

A three-year letterwinner for the Minutemen football program, he earned his bachelor's degree in sports management from UMass in 1990, following with a master's degree in higher education from his alma mater in 1995.

He met his wife Cyndy at UMass, and the couple has three daughters, twins Stephanie and Robyn, and Rachael. The Bjorn family resides in North Kingstown.
