EASTERN MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY BOARD OF REGENTS Gtnrl'Q Y. 1itswonh, chaif'K.·o,n On the Cover In our cover photograph, taken by campus photographer Dick Schwarze, John Porter stands in front of one of his proudest accomplishments during the Decade of Advancement, the Olds Student Recreation Center. -eampus eommentarY--- As we begin a new academic year, it is time to reflect on the past year and to look at where we are going. Many goals were realized this year for both the University and the University's alumni: MAC championships in football, men's basketball, track and swimming, groundbreaking for the Corporate Education Center, the beginning of the Alumni Action benefitsprogram and initiation of the first alumni chapters. These accomplishments encourage us to look forward to carrying on the programs that we are now beginning to establish as traditions. One new tradition that we hope to create as an extension of our Outreach programs and outstanding homecoming activities is for the alumni from around the country to watch Mid-American Conference football and basketball on cable TV or by satellite. This issue of Eastern Today contains information about a MAC sports package that will be carried by at least two dozen television affiliates. I encourage people to look at this schedule and get together to watch Eastern Michigan from whatever part of the country they're in. As a result of last year's exciting Cal Bowl victory, the men's basketball team's cham pionship and NCAA berth, and the track and swimming teams' continued dominance Par Moran in the MAC, interest in EMU is at an all-time high. However, this attention is not just limited to athletics. The school's academic programs and new facilities have taken Eastern Michigan University to a new level of excellence. All of these successful ven tures have been under the direction of Dr. Porter and the people he has put together to bring the University to this point. This University-wide excellence will continue to be the focal pointof additional alum ni activities. More and more we will be looking to individual alumni and their in terests to move the program forward, and of course, the cornerstone of the alumni program is our annual invitation to all alumni to come back to campus during homecom ing weekend. This year we are planning the biggest and best homecoming celebration ever OCTOBER 22 (see back cover). We encourage all alumni to make arrangements early for homecoming weekend. The homecoming activities celebrate a University that has just completed a successful Decade of Advancement. Some of the people who helped to make this success possi ble are saluted in the Honor Roll section of this issue of Eastern Today. I encourage you to read through the names and read about our successful development campaign. The Honor Roll recognizes people and organizations that directly supported the University. I would like to take time to honor the people also who contributed time, effort and energy toward Eastern's revitalization. One of these people is alumnus Mike Jones, who has stepped down as head swimming coach after being named Coach of the Year for 10 consecutive seasons. His tireless individual effort has helped to bring honor to the entire University. We hope you appreciate these periodic communications from your University and will continue to support Eastern's pursuit of the competitive edge. I plan to share the pride with all of you at homecoming. Please keep in touch with us as we are trying to keep in touch with you. r Associate Director for Alumni Relations I -Alumni Association News Be part of the action You can offer an Alumni Action benefit The long-awaited Alumni Action pro Alumni Action is designed to allow exposure in the Alumni Action newslet gram is officially underway.

Wilbanks names the CEC as one of the most significanf achieve ments of Porter'stenure. "The Corporate Education Center identifies another com ponent of the mission of the University, and that is contract learning. It is the wave of the future, because higher ed institu tions need to be involved in delivering their educational component in a little different manner than we are currently delivering." Porter also challenged Eastern Michigan's athletic programs to become competitive. The administrative support and Porter's continuous drive for ex cellence culminated in Eastern's first MAC championships in football and basketball, winning the MAC's Reese Trophy and a California Bowl victory. The third side of Porter is his campus presence. He is often seen at campus events, ranging from school plays to MAC commissioner Jim Lessig (left) presents the Reese Trophy to John Po ner while EMU's athletic competitions. On more than one director of intercollegiate athletics Gene Smith (right) looks on. "I had no prouder moment occasion, he has shown his commitment than when the commissioner of the Mid-American Conferencepresented me with the Reese Trop hy, by visiting EMU athletes in their locker which is the symbol of supremacy in men's athletics,"said Poner.
