Wellesley College 2006-07 P E R A Annual Report The Wellesley College department of Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics is dedicated to promoting an improved quality of life for all Wellesley College students through increased understanding, skill, competititon and participation in physical activity. The Department meets the needs of a variety of students through its three programs and also partnerships with a wide variety of campus departments. • Physical Education: instructional classes • Recreation: leisure time activities • Athletics: intercollegiate competitive teams 2006-07 PERA Department Goals The overarching theme for PERA was to enhance communication, collaboration and integration among the campus community (students, faculty, staff) in support of fitness, intercollegiate and recreational activities, valued components of life-long learning. Additionally, yet equally critical, was the importance of building and encouraging an inclusive “team approach,” of leadership in PERA. The team approach included the student voice, critical within the Wellesley community. Moving forward together resulted in continued promotion of the educational values and mission of the department in support of student learning in an academically rigorous liberal arts environment. Significant progress was made, including: o Partnered with class deans and Residence Life in support of First Year Orientation week. o Partnered with SBOG for Blue Pride Spirit Week - Sept. 26 - Oct. 5. o Partnered with Student Activities for Friends & Family weekend – Oct. 27-29. o Established “Blue Pride Blog”, weekly electronic newsletter to promote the results and activities of PERA Varsity Sports, Recreation and Student Activities Club Sports. o A FOWCA solicitation was mailed on Jan. 29, 2007 to 10 year members; student-athlete alumnae and parents with two targeted projects (cardio/strength areas and competitive training fund for varsity and club sports). 1 o Established a partnership with Alumnae Association, Student Activities and PERA to link Alumnae Leadership Council and Family & Friends week with FOWCA Homecoming beginning in 2007 (October 13-15). o Partnered with Center for Work and Service, Women’s Studies and PERA to sponsor campus presentation “Soaring to New Heights, Climbing Mt. Everest” with Anne Parmenter, Head Field Hockey Coach at Trinity College on April 23, 2007. o Created PERA Department Advisory Group (Faculty, Staff, Administrative representatives). o Partnered with CG-SOAC to establish PERA Student Advisory Committee comprising 12 students representing, physical education, club, varsity, recreational and residence life areas to meet monthly with PERA chair/director, effective 2/07. o Chair/Director invited to College Government meeting on Sept. 18; met with UNITY twice. o Awarded NCAA Division III Women & Ethnic Minority Internship Grant for Assistant Director Position (two-year internship) to support Club Sports, intramurals, FOWCA and serve as Assistant Coach. o Received NCAA On-Campus Diversity Education Workshop grant for students, faculty, coaches & administrators on February 28, 2007. o Hired department office coordinator and administrative assistant for chair/director. o Hired full-time sports information /communications director. o Administrative structure changes including promotion/title changes and additional assignments for associate athletic director; associate director of facilities, recreation and operations, assistant athletic director; PE registrar/ assistant sports information director. Physical Education Mission The physical education curriculum provides students with skills and knowledge to continue lifelong participation in fitness, dance, martial arts and sport skill activities. Many physical education courses include a capstone/culmination experience for our students. This base of knowledge and skills of physical activity is an essential component of the liberal arts education at Wellesley College and is required of all students for completion of their undergraduate degree. 2006-07 PE Class Offerings AQUATICS ACTIVITIES DANCE ACTIVITIES MARTIAL ARTS Elementary Swimming Ballet Self-Defense Basic Sailing Jazz Tai Chi Stroke Technique Swimming Modern Kung Fu African Dance SPORTS ACTIVITIES FITNESS ACTIVITIES Afro-Brazilian Dance Archery Aerobics (Hip Hop; Step & Tone) Caribbean Dance Badminton Pilates Classical Indian Dance Fencing Cardio Kickboxing Latin Dance Golf Fusion Fitness Latin Combo Dance Cooperative Sports and Strength Training Salsa Games Racquetball Yoga (Hatha/Iyengar) Skiing/Snowboarding Table Tennis Tennis (Beginner/Intermediate) In addition to the wide variety of courses offered, students can participate for credit in dorm and class crew races.

As we continue to seek ways to raise Central’s profile in an intensely competitive marketplace, it’s critical that our teams employ a graphic identity that is not only bright and visually appealing but also as unique and distinctive to Central College as the powerful championships legacy our student-athletes have created over the past 125 years. Maintaining brand discipline, while sometimes unpopular, is crucial. By adhering to the standards in this manual, you are helping the college maintain a consistent, recognizable look that will enhance the institutional brand, reduce the likelihood for confusion and help Central and Central athletics stand out from the crowd. Thank you. Mark Putnam, president Central College Athletics - Official Brand Identity - Usage and Style Guide 3 General Guidelines The athletics graphic identity may only be used with apparel/gear/signage/materials associated with the Central College athletics department. It may not be used by any other academic or administrative campus office or organization.

    The National Collegiate Athletic Association Cartel: Why It Exists, How It Works, and What It Does

    Author's personal copy Rev Ind Organ DOI 10.1007/s11151-017-9590-z The National Collegiate Athletic Association Cartel: Why it Exists, How it Works, and What it Does 1,2,3 1,2,3 Allen R. Sanderson • John J. Siegfried Ó Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2017 Abstract In this essay we consider why American colleges and universities par- ticipate in big-time commercialized intercollegiate sports, and how sports came to play such a prominent role on American college and university campuses. We also review how the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) developed as a body to regulate player safety and transformed itself into an economic regulator, the means by which the NCAA attempts to maintain its control, increase revenues, and reduce costs for college sports programs. We also examine how the organization succeeds in the face of institutional characteristics that imply that its cartel activities would be doomed. Finally, we speculate on what changes might be on the horizon for the NCAA and college athletics.

    Things to Know About Volleyball Recruiting

    THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT VOLLEYBALL RECRUITING Terms to Know NCAA Clearinghouse or Eligibility Center (eligibilitycenter.org) – is the NCAA office that certifies a student-athletes academic credentials to be eligible for Division I and II athletics. You cannot make an official visit to a DI or DII school without being at least registered with the clearinghouse. NCAA Division I – 325 Volleyball teams at some of the most well known schools (Florida, Texas, Duke, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Rider etc). Division I schools are permitted to offer scholarships to up to 12 student athletes for volleyball. Schools that are “fully funded” will only offer full scholarships. Partially funded programs will split scholarships and stack with academic and need based aid money to make you an offer. The season is August and into December, with off-season training through the spring and even summer months at many schools. This is the highest level of college athletics, and is the most demanding. NCAA Division II – 250ish Volleyball teams at lesser known schools (Felician, Georgian Court, Tampa, Lemoyne, Millersville, CW Post). Division II schools are permitted to divide the value of 8 full scholarships among a larger number of student athletes. Many DII schools only have between 1-3 scholarships, which they divide and stack with academic and need based aid, but seldom is it a full package. The season lasts from August through November, with either a limited spring training season, or they have recently approved the addition of beach volleyball as a spring sport which some schools may be adding soon. NCAA Division III – 425 Volleyball teams at a variety of schools (including NYU, Chicago, Johns Hopkins, Williams, Scranton, Kean, St.

    Managing Athletic Department Touch Points: a Case Study of One Institution Using Importance-Performance Analysis

    Journal of Intercollegiate Sport, 2013, 6, 196-212 © 2013 Human Kinetics, Inc. www.JIS-Journal.com ARTICLE Managing Athletic Department Touch Points: A Case Study of One Institution Using Importance-Performance Analysis Chris Chard Brock University Joanne MacLean University of the Fraser Valley Brent Faught Brock University Athlete recruitment and delivery of the sport experience are critical components in determining the success of intercollegiate athletic teams and programs. Here, the athletic department brand and the associations of the brand achieved through “touch points” influence student-athletes’ perceptions of the athletic department. The purpose of this study therefore was to understand the perceptions held by student-athletes about the brand of the athletic department. Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) and brand touch point theory were used to accomplish the study’s objective. Specifically, the authors analyzed surveys from 149 student-athletes based at one university in Ontario, Canada to consider athletic department “touch points.” The results proved beneficial for highlighting areas of discrepancy between deemed importance and performance on key recruitment and delivery attributes including scholarship support, spectator support, special treatment, recognition, and quality of facilities. Keywords: university athletics, brand, touch points, recruitment, retention, importance-performance analysis One of the fundamental requirements of a successful university athletic depart- ment is the ability to attract the best student-athletes to represent the institution in varsity competitions (Dailing, 2002; Le Crom, Warren, Clark, Marolla, & Gerber, 2009; Letawsky, Schneider, Pedersen, & Palmer, 2003; Ryan, Groves, & Schenider, 2007).

    THE IMPACT OF A SIGNIFICANT COLLEGE BASEBALL STADIUM PROJECT ON ATTENDANCE, RECRUITING, AND ON-FIELD SUCCESS James P. Richards III A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in the Department of Exercise and Sport Science (Sport Administration). Chapel Hill 2016 Approved By: Nels Popp Erianne Weight John Brunner © 2016 James P. Richards III ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT James P. Richards III; The Impact of a Significant College Baseball Stadium Project on Attendance, Recruiting and On-Field Success (Under the direction of Nels Popp) The purpose of the study was to determine how building a new college baseball stadium or conducting a significant renovation effects on-field success, recruiting and attendance when comparing the three years before and after the stadium project. Recruiting data was obtained from Perfect Game, while attendance and winning percentage data was obtained from information released by the NCAA and on athletic department websites to determine if the millions of dollars athletic departments are spending on facility upgrades lead to improvements in these areas. The study focused on the top-11 NCAA Division I baseball conferences and was narrowed to a sample of 41 baseball programs that conducted a significant stadium project between 2007 and 2013. There were no findings showing a significant relationship between a stadium project and winning games. However, new stadiums led to a significant increase in commitments from top-500 recruits and extensive stadium projects led to an average of an additional 493 fans per game in the three years following the venue opening.

    Trinity College Bulletin, November 1951

    1-1RINITY COLLEGE ALUMNI NEWS ISSUE NOVEMBER 1951 HARTFORD CONNECTICUT Bulletin President's Page To Trinity Alumni: By this time we are well into the one hundred twenty-ninth academic year of the College. In a few more days, half of the 1951 football season will have gone by, the Sophomore Hop will have been held or thrown (annually, the proper verb becomes apparent only in retrospect ), and even the hardiest of our undergraduates will have formed the conclusion that the climate of Hartford in late October calls for clothing a little more substantial than summer sports jackets. Text books have all been purchased, R.O.T.C. uniforms have come or are arriving, no more changing of courses is permitted and classes have thus settled down to something like a normal routine, and Dean Clarke's very commendable social program for the Freshmen has shown the Class of 1955 the road to N'ohhampton. The fraternities have chosen their pledges, and both groups are justifiably happy about the re­ sults. For reasons that evade my comprehension, students still ride in automobiles from the houses on Vernon Street to the Chapel and to classes. In short, the old order has not changed so very much since the days of many of you. There is, however, one distinctive aspect of the fall of 1951 which all of you, if you come here, would perceive and, I am sure, regret. We do not have enough dormitory space. There are 922 undergraduates registered at the College this year, 614 of whom are in residence on the campus.
