There is an emphasis on the “student” in student-athlete for a reason.”

Academic Services at UCR At UC Riverside, student-athletes strive for excellence on and off the field. Attaining this level of excellence is not always easy, so coaches work closely with their athletes in order to ensure that they are the best in their sport, both on the field and in the classroom. Academic Coordinator David Spencer Academic Coordinator David Spencer oversees student- athletes’ academic progress at UCR. A 30-year veteran of the basketball coaching ranks, Spencer well understands the aca- demic and athletic needs of student-athletes.

Page 19 A Place to Call Home On-campus living is an enriching part of the education experience. It allows students to become a part of the college community, providing an environment conducive to academic, as well as social, cultural and personal growth. A recent survey showed that students who live in the resi- dence halls during their first year in college achieve a higher level of academic success. UCR’s Residence Halls house 3,030 students in triple and double rooms. There are three coeducational Residence Hall communities: Aberdeen-Inverness (A-I), which houses 900 students, Lothian, where 1,000 students live, and Pentland Hills with 1,130 students. The housing system also features Campus Apartments and Family Housing. Each format, as well as the individual complexes within the formats, exhibits its own unique flavor and advantages. Residential life will provide a living environment close to campus; student development, educational, social, cultural and recreational programs; counseling and guidance services; supportive study environments; job and leadership opportunities; as well as wheelchair accessibility and convenient facilities for disabled students. Students who plan to live in apartments or homes near the campus will find reasonably priced and readily available accommodations. In fact, the University of California Students Association found both on- and off-campus housing to be more affordable at Riverside than at any other University of California campus. UC Riverside currently guarantees housing for one year UCR Photo Gallery for all freshmen and transfer students who comply with housing The Pentland Hills Residence Halls at dusk. deadlines and requirements. Quick Housing Facts • 25 percent of UC Riverside students live on campus in school housing. This includes 75 percent of the freshman class. • 75 percent live off campus. Of those living off campus, 25 percent commute from their parents’ home and 50 percent live within three to five miles of campus. • 20 percent live in coed residence halls, 3.5 percent in single-student apartments, 1.5 percent in married-student apartments.

If you intend to participate in Division I or II athletics as a fresh- man, you must register and be certified by the NCAA Initial- Eligibility Clearinghouse. Your high school counselors should provide you with a student-release form and a brochure titled, “NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete.” In order to be registered with the clearinghouse, you must complete the student-release form and mail the top (white) copy of the form to the clearinghouse along with the $30 registration fee. Give the yellow and pink copies of the form to a high school official who then sends the yellow copy, along with an official copy of your high school transcript that includes your SAT or ACT score(s) to the clearinghouse. Your high school should keep the pink copy for its files. After graduation and before your high school closes for the summer, your high school must send the clearinghouse a copy of your final transcript that confirms graduation from high school. Your counselors can obtain registration materials, at no cost, by calling the clearinghouse at (319) 337-1492. You can also Asst.

Every school in the University of California System has some com- bination of blue and gold as their school colors. The colors were selected for the university by a committee of students at what is now UC Berkeley in June 1873. Blue was considered because of the sky and the landscape, the student cadet uniforms and the number of Yale graduates who were instrumental in the founding and administration of the university. Gold was considered because of California’s desig- nation as the Golden State and the color of many native wildflowers, such as the California Golden Poppy. Unable to decide between the two, the committee asked their female classmates to decide. Student Rebekah Bragg Cummings suggested using both colors, and the committee agreed.

Page 23 Stan Morrison Director of Athletics Nationally known for his work as a head basketball coach and as an athletics administrator, Stan Morrison has led the Highlanders in the transition to Division I. Morrison joined UCR in August 1999. Morrison first gained national attention as a center for the University of California, Berkeley, as the Bears won the NCAA title in 1959 and were runners-up in 1960. After earning a bachelor’s degree in physical education in 1961, Morrison was a European All-Star and helped the Real Madrid team to the European Cup finals. He returned to Cal in ‘62 as a graduate assistant and played AAU basketball for the San Francisco Olympic Club, earning All-American honors. Morrison’s first collegiate head coaching position was at the University of the Pacific (1972-79), where he led the Tigers to the Pacific Coast Athletic Association championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament in 1979. He moved to the University of Southern California for seven seasons (1979-86) and led the Trojans to the NCAA Tournament in 1982, then repeated the feat in 1985 after USC won a share of the Pacific-10 championship. In 1986, Morrison was appointed director of athletics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. While at UCSB (1986-89), he was administrator over the Gauchos 21-sport athletics program, helped raise significant funds annually for UCSB Athletics and served on the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Tournament Committee. In 1989, he returned to the coaching ranks at San Jose State University, guiding the Spartans for nine years (1989-98). His stay in San Jose was highlighted by a Big West Co-Champi- onship in 1994, and Big West Tournament Championship, NCAA bid and first round match-up with Rick Pitino’s Kentucky Wildcats in 1996. He left the Spartans following the 1997-98 season, posting a career record of 275-350. He is one of a handful of coaches to take three different schools to the NCAA tournament, and the only individual to do it with three schools from the same state. Upon leaving San Jose State, Morrison served as a personal coach and consultant to then-Los Angeles Lakers’ center Shaquille O’Neal. He has also worked as a color commentator for Pac-10 and West Coast Conference basketball for FOX Sports and BAY TV, and is vice president of The Dudeck Group, Inc. Morrison is also chairman of the Board of Directors for High Five America. In 2004, Morrison was director of National Youth Sports Program at UCR, as he and his staff worked with nearly 400 underprivileged and at-risk children from the Riverside and Moreno Valley areas over the course of the five-week program. In his free time, he enjoys working on his home and spending time with his grandchildren. He and his wife, Jessica, have two grown children, three grandchildren and reside in Riverside.
