It’s about the support Throughout an LMU education, students enjoy the support of instructors who know each individual by name and who make classes challenging, fascinating and fun. Class sizes are 13 to 1 and give each student a chance to exceed even their own expectations. it’s who you are with Looking for camaraderie? When it comes to providing friends and mentors, you won’t find a university surpass- ing LMU. The campus population comes from all 50 states and 70 countries. Better still, LMU offers more than 100 extracurricular organizations that hone the students skills and help them find like-minded colleagues for life.

Whatever the religious belief, the university pays atten- tion to individual spirit. “I’ve thought a lot about what makes my friends at college different than those from high school, and I’ve realized that the people at LMU live up to the mission of being men and women for others,” said a sophomore. Students are free to examine faith in social or service activities. it’s where you live Every fall, nine out of 10 first-year students take advantage of LMU housing and for some very good reasons. Some of the benefits of LMU living are simple: an active social scene, meal plans that allow students to dine at various campus locations, and easy access to classes and campus facilities. But university housing offers much more than simple convenience, it also give students an edge. As a resident, students are immediately plugged into programs that help them achieve better grades, meet new friends, develop professional contacts and graduate in a timely manner.

IT’S WHERE YOU’RE BOUND “We’re trying to get rid of you,” so professor Kelly Young- er, who directs the Honors Program, likes to tell LMU stu- dents. He’s referring to the study abroad opportunities, scholarships, internships, academic conferences and com- petitions that take students off campus and into the world. When it comes time to graduate, students will have the knowledge, the confidence, and the strength of spirit to achieve anything the students can imagine.

tudents who choose LMU for higher learning receive a world-class education on a campus known for its athletic excellence. The LMU SAthletics Department is committed to assisting student-athletes achieve their full potential both academically and athletically.

The Student-Athlete Academic Support Staff exists to support all student- athletes in their goals of getting a degree on time, maintaining athletic eligibility, and preparing for life after LMU. The Academic Support Staff provides guidance and counseling from the moment a recruit first walks on to the campus to the moment a student-athlete graduates.

Tradition of Excellence LMU has a proud reputation of academic excellence among its student-ath- letes. In the past few years the LMU Athletics Department has been in the highest percentile of the APR (Academic Performance Rate) scale among all schools in NCAA Division I.

According to the 2006 NCAA Graduation Rate, the LMU Athletics Depart- ment posted a rate of 84 percent for all student-athletes who exhausted their eligibility and a rate of 79 percent for those student-athletes who received athletics aid. Listed are some examples from the 2006-2007 aca- demic year of the academic excellence LMU student-athletes epitomize:

Academic Services The Academic Center and support staff is housed in Gersten Pavilion, pro- viding academic support for the 350+ athletes in 21 sports. The Academic Center includes a study area and desktop computers for student-athlete use. The staff consists of the Academic Coordinator and three Gradu- ate Assistant/Interns, who monitor the progress of student-athletes, ensure timely graduation, and assist in degree preparation. In addition, the aca- demic support staff offers a variety of other services, including:

• Major Requirements • Priority Registration • Study Hall • Tutorial Services • Laptop Checkout for Team Travel • Information about Awards and Post Graduate Scholarships • Life skills and Developmental Workshops and Speakers • Leadership and Mentoring opportunities

The Athletics Department is committed to ensuring every student-athlete reaches their full potential in the classroom. Each student-athlete is required to be enrolled in 15 units per semester and is asked to keep a minimum 2.5 cumulative GPA. Each team can increase the department standard depend- ing on the philosophy of the coach.

At-Risk Students If a student falls below a 2.5 GPA during a given semester they are required to meet weekly with a member of the academic support staff and attend study hall the following semester. Depending on the situation and circum- stances, the student meetings can last from anywhere between 15 minutes to an hour. To help students in need, tutorial services through the Learning Resource Center (LRC) may be recommended by the advisor or requested by the student.

The Olympic-size pool is part Tof the $20 million Burns Recreation Center and serves as the home venue for men’s and women’s water polo, as well as LMU swimming.

Showing that it is one of the finest facilities in the country, LMU hosted the NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship on December 7-8, 2002. Both days of the event were sold out with a crowd of over 2,600 for the championship. The NCAA granted LMU the event again for the 2006 championship.

One of the premier aquatics facilities in Southern California, the Burns Recreation Center pool is heated and features an advanced deck-level drainage system. There are separate locker rooms for home and visiting teams, as well as office space and meeting rooms for the LMU aquatics coaching staff. Adjacent to the pool is permanent bleacher seating with a normal capacity for 800 fans. Added to the facility in the fall of 2001 was a state-of-the-art scoreboard. The score- board from Colorado Timing Systems features scoring systems for both water polo and swim- ming, including touch-pad timing for eight swim lanes.

The fully digital system includes matrix and video capabilities and was installed thanks to the donations of Albert Gersten. In addition, a new audio system was installed prior to the start of the 2002 swimming season, and the aquatic center now features a recreational lawn picnic area complete with berm seating.
