Chris Kjeldsen Swimming Complex

The Chris Kjeldsen Pool has served the University of the Pacific and Stockton communities well for over 25 years. In 1995-96, under the direction of former athletic director Bob Lee, the athletic department raised funds to make the aquatics programs and facilities at Pacific among the very best in the country, with the completion of the Pacific Aquatics Center.

The addition of the Pacific Aquatics Center to the Kjeldsen Swimming Complex cost an estimated $400,000. It is located on the east side of the pool complex and contains 4,000

square feet of space. Hot showers and locker rooms are available to serve recreational and competitive athletes from both the campus and local community, and office space houses coaches and lifeguards. Meeting areas for athletic and social events are also found there.

The pool and deck underwent a major renovation in 2008, which included the addition of spill-over gutters and a new scoreboard. Additionally, the pool was resurfaced with new siding to make it one of the faster pools in the region.

Ample storage space is available to protect swimming pool equipment from the effects of weather. The facility provides a safer entry to the pool for physically challenged swimmers. In addition, it allows control of access for optimum supervision of the pool area.

The Chris Kjeldsen Swimming Complex is located on Larry Heller Drive at the southeast corner of Amos Alonzo Stagg Memorial Stadium and directly across from the Alex G. Spanos Center.

Season PreviewPacific Poised To Make 2011 “Year of the Tiger”

Plenty of returning talent and a stellar 2010 campaign have the Tigers thinking big Coming off of one of the most successful seasons in school history, the Pacific men’s water polo program is primed to make 2011 the “Year of the Tiger.” Three returning All-Americans, led by 2010 First Team selection junior Goran Tomasevic, combined with a nine-man senior class, will make the Tigers a force to be reckoned with in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. “This is the first time that I would say that we are an experienced water polo team,” said fourth-year head coach James Graham. “I’m hoping that will shine through this year.” Pacific ascended to as high as No. 4 in the CWPA poll, finishing 2010 at 17-11, including a 4-4 mark in MPSF play. They claimed seventh place in the MPSF Tournament after defeating Pepperdine 13-5. “We’re used to being an underdog, but our mentality will have to change this season,” Graham continued. “We’ll need to always put out effort and always be prepared as that is what will bring us success.” Tomasevic, a 2010 finalist for the Peter J. Cutino Award (given to the nation’s top player), returns for his third

year in the Orange and Black. Arguably the best center in the NCAA, he will be a focal point for the Tigers and their opponents. Tomasevic tallied 52 goals on 48 percent shooting to go along with 87 drawn ejections. “Tomasevic is, in my opinion, the best center in the nation,” said Graham. “He is coming into his own as a leader and fully understands our system.” Supporting Tomasevic are sophomores Balazs Erdelyi and Alex Malkis, who are All-Americans in their own right. Erdelyi, a second-team selection in 2010, was named the MPSF Newcomer of the Year after amassing an amazing 52 goals, 60 assists, and 48 steals. Erdelyi’s honor gives the Tigers back-to-back Newcomers of the Year after Tomasevic claimed the award in 2009. Patrolling the cage as a freshman, Malkis was an Honorable Mention All-America selection after recording 222 saves in 26 appearances, good for an 8.54 saves per game average. His 18 saves against UC Irvine was an MPSF season high. “I think the two sophomores are capable of huge things,” Graham noted. “They were great last season, but I expect

even greater things from them this year.” While the heralded trio gets the headlines, Pacific’s senior class is the team’s heart and soul. Team captain Tyler Reardon, along with Jasper Visser, stabilizes the Tigers’ defense while Tom Koning, Lance Morrison, and Daniel Lungu balance the offensive attack. Koning, already the program’s tenth-leading scorer with 103 career goals, will look to continue his rise up the charts. The group’s ability to lead will have a strong impact on Pacific’s success. “This senior class is huge for us,” commented Graham. “The leadership they provide is crucial, and I look for them to keep our team disciplined and ready to play every time out.” While being a member of the MPSF guarantees a rigorous schedule, the Tigers’ non-conference slate will also prove a tough test. After opening at the Golden Bear Invitational in Berkeley, Calif., Pacific will host the prestigious NorCal Tournament that will provide them with plenty of challenging matches. “Our main goal is to be better than we were last year,” Graham said. “Whether that bumps us up one place or five places, that is what’s driving us this and every year.”

Entering his fourth year in the Orange and Black, head coach James Graham has the Pacific men’s water polo program on the precipice of big things. Graham’s third season was the charm as he led the Tigers to a 17-11 mark in 2010, including a 4-4 record in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation games, good for a share of fifth place. Pacific also won an MPSF tournament game for the first time since 2006 when they beat No. 9 Peppedine 13-5 in the seventh-place game. Freshman Balazs Erdelyi was named the MPSF Newcomer of the Year while Goran Tomasevic (First Team), Erdelyi (Second), and Alex Malkis (Honorable Mention) earned All-America honors. At season’s end, Graham received USA Water Polo’s Monte Nitzkowski Distinguished Men’s Coaching Award. His second season saw the Tigers reach the MPSF Tournament for the first time since 2006. Tomasevic was voted the league’s Newcomer of the Year and was a Third Team All-America selection. Since he took over the position on March 11, 2008, Graham has seen the Tigers ascend to as high as

fourth in the Collegiate Water Polo Association poll and is 35-29 in non-conference games. Prior to joining Pacific, Graham patrolled the deck for five seasons at Santa Rosa Junior College, where he built the Bear Cubs into a state power. His career 86-50-1 record included a school-best third-place finish at the California State Championships in 2007, as well as a Big 8 Conference title the same year. For his efforts, Graham was named the 2007 Big 8 Conference Coach of the Year. It was his second consecutive Coach of the Year honor as he won the same award in 2006 after taking the Bear Cubs to the Northern California championship. He was awarded Northern California Coach of the Year in 2006, as well. From 2005-07, Graham served as an assistant coach for the United States National Youth team. He has also been the head coach for the National 2-Meter Development Camp and Holiday Camp held at the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colo. In addition, Graham has coached at the annual Camp of Champions in Long Beach, Calif., and was instrumental in starting water polo clubs in three different cities in Sonoma County. Graham began his playing career at Santa Rosa, where he played for two years. His stellar play garnered Honorable Mention All-America and All-Northern California honors in 1999. Graham spent his final two years at the University of Redlands, suiting up for the Bulldogs from 2001-02. During his time there,

Redlands never lost a Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) game, winning the league championship both years. Graham was a two-time Academic All-American and earned All-SCIAC honors as a senior. Graham resides in Stockton, Calif., with his wife, Kelly, and daughter, Maggie.

Tigers’ 2010 Campaign One Of Best In School HistoryThird-year head coach Graham leads Pacific to No. 4 ranking, 4 MPSF victories

The Pacific men’s water polo program had arguably one of the best seasons in school history in 2010, finishing the year at 17-11, including a 4-4 mark in Mountain Pacific Sports Federation matches. The Tigers’ 17 wins were the second-most since 1993, while the four MPSF victories tied a school record for league wins since 1994. An appearance in the conference tournament resulted in a seventh-place-game victory over Pepperdine. Third-year head coach James Graham continued to take the preseason-No. 10 Orange and Black to new heights, directing the team to nine victories in its first 13 matches, including a sweep of the UC San Diego-hosted Triton Invitational. Sophomore Goran Tomasevic earned MPSF Mikasa Player of

the Week honors after notching 10 goals, one assist, one steal, and eight drawn ejections in the tournament. A 10-9 defeat of then-No. 3 Stanford, coupled with late leads against both California and UCLA, illustrated how far the Tigers had come under Graham. Pacific moved to as high as No. 4 in the polls following its victory over the Cardinal. Sophomore center Goran Tomasevic garnered First Team All-America and First Team All-MPSF honors while freshman Balazs Erdelyi was voted the MPSF Newcomer of the Year in addition to being a Second Team All-MPSF and Honorable Mention All-America selection. Freshman goalkeeper Alex Malkis was also named to the Honorable Mention All-MPSF and All-America teams. Tomasevic led Pacific with 53 goals in 28 games. He also tallied 87 drawn ejections, 18 steals, 10 field

blocks, and seven assists. Erdelyi notched 52 goals to go along with 60 assists, 48 steals, 26 drawn ejections, and 19 field blocks. Junior Tom Koning’s 48 goals were the third-most on the team, while senior Joey Gullikson contributed 27 goals, 30 assists, 24 drawn ejections, and 20 steals. Erdelyi led all Tigers with 18 multi-goal games. Malkis appeared in the cage 26 times for the Orange and Black, recording 222 saves, 46 steals, and 10 assists. He blocked 8.54 shots per game while surrendering a little more than seven goals per game. His career-high 18 saves against UC Irvine was also an MPSF season high. At season’s end, Graham received USA Water Polo’s prestigious Monte Nitzkowski Distinguished Men’s Coaching Award, honoring the nation’s top NCAA varsity coach.

Mountain Pacific Sports Federation

The Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) was established during the 1992-1993 academic year to serve the competitive needs of member institutions from the Big West, Pacific-10, Mountain West, Western Athletic and West Coast Conferences and other selected universities in the western United States; and to provide championship competition for Division I intercollegiate Olympic sports in a conference setting. The MPSF was originally formed to provide enhanced competition and championship opportunities for sports without conference affiliation; to contain the costs of competition; and to ensure the survival of sports impacted by Title IX and other fiscal pressures. The Federation has served as an incubator for emerging women’s sports and as a safe harbor for sports impacted by conference realignments. In 2006-2007, the Federation celebrated its 15th year of competition and is affirmed that is more relevant today than at any other time since its inception. As a testament to its viability, the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation continues to successfully ride the ever-changing wave of college sports by fostering contraction and expansion of its intercollegiate athletics portfolio to meet the dynamic needs of its member institutions and conferences. Since its inception, MPSF teams have won 49 NCAA team championships and many individual titles as well.

In 2010-2011, the MPSF will again provide competition in nine Olympic intercollegiate sports while serving over 1,500 student-athletes and approximately 75 head coaches from 32 universities in 12 western states. All MPSF teams compete at the NCAA Division I level in men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s gymnastics, women’s lacrosse and men’s volleyball. All MPSF champions are eligible to compete in NCAA Championships with MPSF men’s soccer, men’s and women’s water polo, and men’s volleyball champions earning automatic qualification into NCAA championship events.

In 2010-2011, five MPSF teams won NCAA championships to total 53 NCAA team titles since the Federation’s first season of competition in 1992-93. Almost a score of Federation teams and hundreds of student-athletes competed in NCAA post-season competition. CALIFORNIA started things off by winning their second-consecutive NCAA men’s water polo title last fall. ARIZONA STATE pulled off a double win with both the Sun Devils’ men’s and women’s indoor track and field teams taking NCAA crowns, after the women won both the MPSF and NCAA titles for the second year in a row. OKLAHOMA then won the NCAA men’s gymnastics title, also after taking the MPSF championship. This was the Sooners fifth NCAA crown in seven seasons and fourth-consecutive MPSF title with nine outright or co-conference titles in the past 10 seasons. UCLA capped the season by repeating as NCAA women’s water polo champions after winning the MPSF title, pulling off dual titles for the second year in a row.

Other Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Champions for the 2007-2008 season include NEW MEXICO’s fourth-consecutive conference title in men’s soccer, the Lobos’ sixth in seven years; OREGON won it’s first-ever MPSF men’s indoor track and field championship while UC DAVIS added the Aggies’ first MPSF women’s gymnastics title. PEPPERDINE won its fourth MPSF men’s volleyball title before losing to Penn State in the NCAA final.

Al Beaird has been the Federation’s only executive director, taking the reigns after being selected by the MPSF Administrative Committee in December 1997 after a national search. Beaird’s position was established as a result of the Federation’s continued growth and emerging tradition of NCAA and national championship caliber play, including 38 NCAA team championships during his tenure. Beaird, who formerly served on the athletics staff at his alma mater UC Davis, where the integration of student and athlete is a long-rooted philosophy, oversees the administration of all Federation sports, having worked closely with administrators and coaches from more than 40 different universities over the course of his administration. Beaird presided over the transition of the Federation from what was initially a scheduling alliance to what is now a nationally recognized NCAA Division I multi-sports conference. Beaird directs all aspects of MPSF competition, including championships, officiating, rules compliance, scheduling, media relations, broadcasting, sponsorships and NCAA relations, while also shaping conference legislation, facilitating annual meetings and providing direction and communication for the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Administrative and Executive Committees. In 2004, Beaird completed a four-year term, three years as chair, on the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championships Committee and one year as chair of the inaugural NCAA Men’s and Women’s Water Polo Rules Committee. Beaird feels privileged to work with coaches and student-athletes who compete at the highest levels, including many who compete on USA national teams as coaches or players in international and Olympic competition. With his high level of involvement in NCAA Olympic sports, Beaird is often called upon to serve as liaison to the national governing bodies for amateur athletics in the United States and the United States Olympic Committee. Beaird received his undergraduate degree in physical education from UC Davis in 1977 before attaining his Masters of Business Administration (Marketing emphasis) from California State University, Sacramento in 1993. Beaird, who lives in Woodland, California, has two daughters who are active in high school and club sports.

Pamela A. Eibeck became the 24th President of University of the Pacific on July 1, 2009. She is Pacific’s sixth President since the University moved to Stockton in 1924 and the first woman to hold the office. Her Presi-dency follows a distinguished career as a researcher, teacher, educational reformer, and university administrator.

Prior to joining Pacific, Eibeck was dean of the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. Col-lege of Engineering at Texas Tech—one of the nation’s largest engineering colleges with 4,400 students, 156 faculty and five research centers. There, she was responsible for eight academic departments, 33 degree programs and a $55 million budget. An active fundraiser, Eibeck helped build an endowment of $57 million and doubled the number of endowed chairs.

Eibeck takes the helm at a University with strong enrollments and finances, and the best incoming student academic profile in its history. With a record number of applications for Fall 2009, university enrollment is expected to remain steady at around 6,250 with a 20-point jump in the average admitted freshmen SAT score to 1200. Construction continues on two major buildings: the $7.5 million Janssen-Lagorio Multipurpose Gymnasium and the $10 million John T. Chambers Technology Center, and the last fiscal year closed with a surplus for the 13th consecutive year. While spending time to get know Pacific in her first year, Eibeck has committed to building on these strengths by continuing to enhance educational quality, build national visibility, and deepen the University’s involvement in community engagement.

Eibeck received her bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in me-chanical engineering between 1979 and 1986 from Stanford University. She joined the faculty at the University of California at Berkeley, where she earned tenure and served from 1985 to 1995. In 1995, she became a professor and chair of mechanical engineering at Northern Arizona University, where she later served as director of the honors program and then vice provost for undergraduate studies. In 2004, Eibeck was named dean of the college of engineering at Texas Tech.

An expert in heat transfer, Eibeck conducted experimental research related to electronics cooling and thermal tiles used by NASA on the space shuttles. Her later work focused on engineering educational reform, including early use of multimedia in the classroom, curriculum development and, most recently, ways to attract young people and women to the profession. She has authored or co-authored nearly 50 articles and papers.

Eibeck became a Fellow of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers in 2008. She received the Distinguished Engineering Educator Award from the Society of Women Engineers in 1996 and the Boeing Outstanding Educator Award in 1999.

Eibeck is married to William D. Jeffery, a law professor and a native of California. They have four children. Sons Andrew and Kevin live in the Bay Area. Daughter Katherine attends the University of Southern California. Their youngest son, Will, attends Santa Clara University.

Founded in 1851 as the first chartered university in California, University of the Pacific continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the finest academic institutions in the West. The main Stockton campus, with its expansive lawns and brick-and-ivy architecture, much like many renowned universi-ties in the East, is highly regarded as one of the most picturesque college campuses in the West. The only private school in the Big West Conference, Pacific offers a diversity of programs that would normally be associated with a much larger university. Personal attention and small class sizes have become Pacific trade-marks and help attract students from many U.S. states and foreign countries. Pacific provides its 6,235 scholars a student-to-faculty ratio of less than 13-to-1. Pacific is comprised of 11 schools and colleges on three campuses, offering students the distinctive advantage of nearby resources. Two professional schools complement the Stockton campus: the School of Dentistry in San Francisco and the McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. The Stockton campus features the central liberal arts division, College of the Pacific and schools of music, engineering, education, pharmacy, business & public administration, international studies, the Graduate School and University College. Pacific students are represented on many policy-making com-mittees, and the Associated Students (ASUOP) play an active role in campus life through social and cultural programs. The Stockton metropolitan area, with a population of over 280,000, is nestled conveniently in the San Joaquin Valley between San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Pacific offers its students a proximity to many exciting places including Monterey/Carmel, Lake Tahoe, the northern California wine country, and Yo-semite National Park. It is adjacent to over 1,000 miles of waterways, making it the largest inland seaport in the state.

How old is Pacific?We became California’s first chartered in-stitution of higher education in 1851. We were also the first co-ed university (the first graduating class had five men and five women). We celebrated our sesquicenten-nial year in 2001.

What type of university is Pacific?Pacific is a comprehensive university with three campuses and eleven schools and colleges. Eight of our schools and colleges provide undergraduate education on the Stockton campus, including a college of liberal arts and sciences (College of the Pa-cific), six professional schools and an adult re-entry division. The Stockton campus also has a graduate school. The other two campuses are the Pacific McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento and the Arthur A. Du-goni School of Dentistry in San Francisco.

Is Pacific a religious or church-related university?No. Pacific was founded by and is affiliated with the Methodist Church. We do have a chapel, a full-time chaplain, a number of religious-oriented clubs, and a Department of Religious Studies, but we are not a “religious” university where students are required to attend chapel or to take religion classes. Any or all of the above are available to students who are interest-ed, but participation in such activities is completely voluntary.

Is Pacific accredited?Pacific is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), and many academic programs have additional accreditation by appropri-ate professional organizations.

The University of the Pacific's mission is to provide a superior, stu-dent-centered learning experience integrating liberal arts and profes-sional education and preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities. The first chartered institution of higher education in the State of Cali-fornia, the University of the Pacific is a mid-sized independent, compre-hensive university offering a wide choice of high-quality undergraduate and graduate programs in Stockton, Sacramento, and San Francisco. Pacific is an outstanding blend of the advantages of the diverse pro-grams of a major university and the broad, highly personalized learning of the selective liberal arts college. We accomplish our mission through highly personalized programs delivered in a caring, supportive, and attractive environment. We seek to develop and strengthen self-confidence, initiative, analytical and problem-solving abilities, and an enthusiasm for learning. Central to our mission is the dedication of our faculty and staff to ex-cellence in teaching and advising. We encourage and support research, scholarship and creative activity as complements to our fundamental mission of teaching. Our mission dictates a commitment to leadership development, global awareness, community involvement and opportunities for in-dividuals from diverse backgrounds. We are committed to providing practical experiences to complement classroom learning. Highly inter-active student-faculty relations and a broad array of co-curricular activi-ties that help to develop students' abilities are hallmarks of learning at the University of the Pacific.

Academics are Number One at the University of the Pacific, and Pacific is proud of its student-athletes’ perfor-mances in the classroom. In addition to having some truly outstanding individual scholar-athletes, Pacific currently boasts a graduation rate of over 96 percent for all recruited student-athletes who ex-haust their athletic eligibility. During the spring semester of 2011, Pacific student-athletes posted a combined grade point average of 3.0. Pacific is annually represented on Big West Academic All-Conference teams, Academic All-America teams, and boasts NCAA Post-Graduate Schol-ars in several sports. For the 2010-11 academic year, Pacific honored 104 Big West Conference Scholar-Athletes. In order to qualify for the distinction, student-athletes must record a 3.0 grade point average over their two most re-cently completed semesters. Freshmen are required to attain a 3.2 grade point

average over one semester to earn the accolade. Pacific attributes its success in the classroom to two primary factors. First, Pacific recruits only student-athletes who it believes can succeed at the Uni-versity and who have a sincere commit-ment to a higher education. Second, it provides outstanding support services to students. An integral resource of support is a faculty committed to helping students obtain an education and to graduate, and who often tutor student-athletes one-on-one. Pacific intercollegiate ath-letics has a comprehensive academic achievement program for its student-athletes, including counseling, tutoring, monitoring services, leadership and life skills training, computer resources, and a set of standards and procedures out-lined in the student-athlete handbook. Supervised study periods are provided, and a

system of grade checks is in place to identify problem areas and ensure immediate attention. At Pacific, the “four-year” degree is no myth. Faculty and counseling resources help keep student-athletes at Pacific on track to graduate in four years. Located in the heart of the Pacific Intercollegiate Athletics Center, the Pacific Student-Athlete Resource Center, includes state-of-the-art computer facilities and is used exclusively by student-athletes. A special opportunity exists for student-athlete participation at Pacific with the Pacific Student-Athlete Council. The council is comprised of elected student-athlete representatives from each Division I team. The council sponsors a variety of activities throughout the year for Pacific student-athletes and youth in the com-munity. To be a student-athlete at University of the Pacific is truly a unique experience. One can compete athletically at the NCAA Division I level with the best in the nation and, at the same time, have an outstanding educational experience with a dedicated faculty.

AdministrationVice President of external relations & athletics

TED LELAND Dr. Ted Leland, the Vice President for External Rela-tions and Athletics, took over as the athletic director of Pacific Athletics on July 1, 2011. Beginning his second stint as the director, Leland will oversee Pacific Athletics for a two year period while overseeing the implementation of Pacific’s new strategic plan for Intercollegiate Athletics-a plan that he and and former athletic director Lynn King created while working together over the previous year. In addition to his duties in the athletic department, Leland will retain his status as vice president for ex-ternal relations. At the end of the two-year period, Leland will resume full-time duties as vice president for External Relations and conduct a search for a new

athletics director. Leland last ran Pacific’s athletic department from 1989-91 before moving on to Stanford where he was the athletic director until 2005. During his 14 years at Stanford, Dr. Ted Leland not only led the Stanford Athletic Department to unprecedented success both on and off the playing field, but earned a reputation as one of the nation’s top athletic administrators. Leland was named The Jaquish & Kenninger Director of Athletics at Stanford University on June 7, 1991, and has been the guiding force in leading an athletics program that was voted as “the most admired collegiate athletic program in the nation.” During his tenure, Stanford won the prestigious Directors’ Cup, emblematic of the top athletic program in the nation, for the last 11 years and the Cardinal won more NCAA championships than any other school in the nation. Under Leland’s stewardship, Stanford’s athletic program enjoyed tremendous success in fund raising and athletic facilities were vastly improved. From 1991-2005, Stanford won 50 national team championships and 173 conference championships, including an NCAA record six national titles in 1996-97. Cardinal teams consistently competed for the national championship in virtually every sport every year. In 2004-05 alone, Stanford had 26 programs finish in the Top 25 nationally, including 10 in the Top 5 and 16 in the Top 10. In the area of fundraising, the Athletic Department raised over $270 million in private donations, and its assets and endowments grew from $52 million to $374.9 million during Leland’s tenure. In addition, ap-proximately $185 million in new or renovated athletic facilities were completed and funded. Leland’s peers and colleagues have honored him on several occasions. He was presented the Dick Enberg Award by CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) in 2004. The award is presented to “a person whose actions and commitment have furthered the meaning and reach of the Academic All-America programs and/or student-athletes while promoting the values of education and academics.” In 2000-01, Leland was honored by NACDA (National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics) and the Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal as the Athletic Director of the Year. The award recognized an Athletic Director for demonstration of commitment to higher education and student-athletes, continuous teamwork, loyalty and excellence, and the ability to inspire individuals or groups to higher levels of accomplishments. In 2008, he was elected into the organization’s hall of fame. Leland has served on numerous national committees throughout his career. He is currently a member of the University of the Pacific Board of Regents and the Board of Directors of Opportunities Industrialization Center West (a non-profit community-based job training center on the Menlo Park-East Palo Alto border). He has been a member of the Division I NCAA Committee on Infractions and the NACDA Executive Committee, and has served on various other Pac-10 and NCAA committees. In June of 2002, Leland was named a co-chairman of the United States Secretary of Education’s Commission on Opportunity in Athletics. The 15-member panel examined ways of strengthening enforcement of Title IX and expanding opportunities to ensure fairness for all college athletes. Leland served a two-year term as the Chairman of the NCAA Management Council. He was a member of the Management Council for eight years. After serving as Stanford’s Director of Athletics for 12 years, Leland was granted a “Special Research Leave” from his post in the spring of 2003. During an 11-week absence, Leland was a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Hoover Institution on campus, conducted research on a book, and wrote and delivered several speeches on national issues related to intercollegiate athletics. In addition to Stanford and Pacific, Leland was also the athletic director at Dartmouth College from 1983-89. His other career stops have included Northwestern University, where he was a Senior Associate Athletic Director from 1981-83 and the University of Houston as an Assistant Athletic Director from 1979-81. He was an assistant football coach and instructor of physical education at Stanford in 1978-79. Leland grew up in Northern California, graduated from Hayward High School and later attended Chabot College. He earned both his Bachelor’s (1970) and Master’s (1972) degrees from the University of the Pacific, prior to adding a Ph.D. from Stanford in 1982 in education/sports psychology. While an undergraduate at Pacific, Leland earned First Team All-PCAA football honors as a defensive end in 1969. He later coached football at Pacific, Stanford and East Tennessee State. In addition to his work in athletic administration, Leland has held the position of “adjunct professor” at Dartmouth College, Pacific and Stanford, teaching courses in Sports Psychology and the Philosophy of Sport. He is currently a Distinguished Visiting Scholar at the Hoover Institution at Stanford. Leland and his wife, Stefanie, have two children: Amanda and Bo.

In her seventh year at Pacific, Holly Trexler is the Associate Director of Athletics for Student-Athlete Services and Compliance. She became Pacific’s Senior Women’s Administrator in September of 2008. Among her duties, Trexler oversees com-pliance, academic support, student services, the Pacific Student Athlete Council (PSAC) as well as the CHAMPS/Life Skills program. In addition, Trexler is currently serving on the NCAA Leadership Selection Committee. Before coming to Pacific, Trexler was the assistant athletic director for aca-demic support/life skills coordinator at Quinnipiac University from 2002-05. At Quinnipiac, she monitored the academic progress and eligibility status of all student-athletes, in addition to overseeing academic programming and support services. Trexler was also responsible for the CHAMPS/Life Skills program. Prior to her time at Quinnipiac, Trexler spent the previous three years as assistant athletic director for eligibility and student services/senior woman administrator at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in Greensboro, N.C. Her duties at the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference school included the monitoring of academic records and eligibility status of 300 student-athletes. She also oversaw the academic programming and support services. From 1993 to 1999, Trexler worked at the University of Kansas as a strategic learning assistant and Mentor. In her position, she developed learning strategies for at-risk student-athletes and assisted with subject matter and overall academic development. Trexler holds three degrees from the University of Kansas. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in English and African-American studies in 1995. She was awarded her Juris Doctorate from the Kansas School of Law in 1998. A year later, in 1999, she finished her master’s in education.

nine of Pacific’s athletic teams. Before coming to Pacific, Dorin spent the pre-vious two years as the strength and conditioning coach of Butte College’s (Chico, Calif.) football, baseball, men’s basketball and softball teams. Prior to working at Butte College Dorin served as a spring training strength and conditioning intern for the Texas Rangers. Coach Dorin served as the strength and condi-tioning coach for seven of Chico State University’s athletic teams while he completed his master’s de-gree in kinesiology. He also holds a bachelor’s de-gree in exercise science from Chico State University.

Strength and conditioning is an integral part of any student-athlete’s life. At

Pacific, new facilities combined with a dedicated staff work toward success on the

playing field for Tiger student-athletes.

“Strength and conditioning are critical to maximal athletic performance,” Pa-

cific Athletic Director Lynn King said. “The University of the Pacific is proud of its

Athletic Performance Center and staffing to assist our student-athletes in this vital

part of their training and development.”

The multi-purpose weight training and fitness facility within the Pacific Intercol-

legiate Athletics Center is 4,000 square feet and includes 10 Olympic platforms,

10 racks, five bench presses, five adjustable inclines, two full racks of dumbbells,

over 50 medicine balls, 35 Swiss balls, six adjustable plyometric boxes and was

completed in July of 1998.

The newest addition to the athletic performance facilities is a 2,000 square foot

conditioning room with plyometric flooring and 20 Schwinn Spin Bikes.

“The Athletic Performance staff works hand-in-hand with sport coaches to as-

sure the student-athlete develops physical strength, endurance and agility,” King

said. “This training serves as a basis for the work ethic required to reach one’s full

potential.”
