Fink completed her B.A., graduating with honors in Social Science from Berkeley in 1994. She is currently working on a Masters Degree at USD in Counseling. Recently married, Shaney and her husband, Tom Vorkoper, reside in Del Mar. The USD Athletic Academic Support Program is designed to promote the academic developmentofstudent­ athletes. The primary objective is to offer the necessary resources for the academic success of student-athletes as they work to earn their degree. Academic Support Services are designed to enhance the student-athlete's overall collegiate experience and encourage development and attainment of academic and career goals. All USD student-athletes have access to advising, tutoring and mentoring services. The mentoring program, Access, was developed in 1999 and teams a graduate student in the Counseling program with an athlete who would like to enhance study skills, learn about campus resources and receive guidance on goal development and attainment. Student-athletes also have access to a quiet area where they can study or work in the computer center. In addition, student-athletes are encouraged to utilize the campus learning centers including the Writing, Math and Logic Centers as well as to take advantage of the resources available to them in the Career Center, Counseling Center and Computer Labs.

The purpose of our program is to assist student­ athletes in meeting this challenge by offering tutoring, advising, mentoring and a quiet environ­ ment to study. Th e academic support program is designed to assist students in adjusting to life at USD and developing sound academic and career plans. By promoting a philosophy of individual resp onsibility, which encourages each student-athlete to value th eir edu cational experience, th e academic support program assists each athlete to realize th eir fitll potential". Shaney Fink ~ /

Torero Strength and Conditioning

The University of San Diego athletic department recognizes the need for all athletes of all sports to engage in a comprehensive strength and conditioning program. The USD strength and conditioning program has been designed to develop functional strength, speed, power and endurance. The development of th ese physical attributes is ineffective if the athletes are not able to carry them over to the pl aying fi eld. Adhering to a properl y designed program of strength training, conditioning and nutrition can enabl e our men and women to become the best possible athletes they can be, while simultaneously reducing the incidence of injury. The hea1i of the strength and conditioning program is the Jenny Craig Pavili on fitness center (3 ,800 square feet) and the US D Sports Center weight ro om (5,000 square feet) . Both weight rooms contain Olympic pl atfo rms, free-weights, selectorized machines, dumbbells and cardiovascular equipment, and are open exclusively to student-athletes at specific times each day. USD student-athletes receive intensive instruction on proper weight training technique; speed, power and agility development; and sport-specific conditioning. Their strength and conditioning programs are specific to the nature of their sport or position. Each athlete is individuall y monitored throughout their program to ensure the greatest chance of athletic progress.
