A Remarkable Transformation

UConn is renewing, rebuilding and enhancing its campuses through an unprecedented $2.3 billion, 20-year state investment in the University’s infrastructure. UCONN 2000/21st Century UConn is the most ambitious publicly financed university building program in the country. It’s an initiative the New York Times reports as being “a building boom that would be the envy of most university presidents.” The UCONN 2000/21st Century UConn program reflects a vision of a dynamic institution. Now in its 10th year, the program has invigorated the University’s living and learning environment, helped advance faculty research and stimulated public and private investment. The 21st Century UConn initiative was signed into law during ceremonies held at South Campus on This transformation revitalizes the August 26, 2002. The $2.3 billion building program to continue the remarkable transformation of state’s future by providing the means for the the University of Connecticut was approved two weeks earlier by the General Assembly. University to attract high achieving students, high quality faculty and funding from both grants and private donors. Before the landmark program, Connecticut was a state with one of the highest ratios of students leaving the state for college. Today, there has been a dramatic reversal of this trend leading to unprecedented interest from both in-state and out-of-state students. The infrastructure initiative has already resulted in the completion of more than 100 projects, including the Chemistry Building—one of the best-designed buildings in the world according to the International Architecture Yearbook. Other projects include the School of Business, the modern Biology/Physics Building, Information Technologies Engineering Building, the Agricultural Biotechnology Laboratory and the construction of residence communities such as the Hilltop Apartments, Charter Oak Apartments, Hilltop Suites, South Campus and Husky Village.

Forthcoming projects to be made possible by UCONN 2000/21st Century UConn include a $300 million expansion to the UConn Health Center that will include a state-of-the art medical research facility with 30 high-tech laboratories. The Storrs campus will benefit from enhancements that include new facilities to replace the Monteith and Arjona liberal arts facilities and the Torrey Life Sciences Building. Additions to the Benton Museum, Psychology Building, Storrs Hall and the School of Fine Arts will also continue to reshape the University. The quality of a UConn education will improve throughout the state with renovations to the UConn Law School and the regional campuses as well. Thanks in large part to these forward thinking initiatives, the University is enjoying remarkable success in student recruitment and retention, attracting world-class scholars and securing significant research funding.

soldiers were on the battle line from Quebec to Carolina. It was General Israel Putnam at the battle of Bunker Hill who cried: “Don’t fire until you see the whites of their eyes!” Patriot-spy Nathan Hale, as he was about to be hanged by the British, said: “I regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.” To George Washington, Connecticut was “The Provision State” because of sup- plies contributed to his army by Gov. Jonathan Trumbull — the only Colonial governor, incidentally, to support the cause of America’s independence from Great Britain. From 1703 to 1875, Connecticut had two capitals; sessions of the General Assembly met alternately in Hartford and New Haven. Since then, the capital has been Hartford. State government in Connecticut has three branches: executive (exec.htm), leg- islative (www.cga.state.ct.us) and judicial (www.jud.state.ct.us). Voters elect six state officers: Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Treasurer, Comptroller and Attorney General. All have four year terms. Connecticut voters also elect two U.S. Senators and six U.S. Representatives. on the east, Massachusetts on the north and by Long Island sound on the south. The General Assembly or legislature has a Senate and a House of Representatives. The southerly flow of the Connecticut River divides the state roughly in half.

On the average, there are only 12 days a year when the temperature goes above 90 degrees, and about six days when it falls to zero or below. The growing season is fairly long, with the first killing frost generally in mid-October and the last in mid-April. This, together with moderate rainfall, provides good growing conditions. Despite Connecticut’s small size, there is some variety in climate, with temperatures in the northern hills as much as 10 degrees lower than those in the central valley year-round. Tourism (www.tourism.state.ct.us) in Connecticut is a $4 billion-a-year business. Much of it based on the attraction of the state’s 250-mile Long Island Sound shoreline, its rolling Litchfield Hills, and its unspoiled Connecticut River Valley. With its wealth of open land, Connecticut’s scenery is some of New England’s most beautiful. Its scores of Colonial villages are filled with historic homes and landmarks. Dozens of golf courses are open to the public; boating, fishing and swimming opportunities are everywhere. Among the most popular individual attractions are Mystic Seaport and nearby Mystic Marinelife Aquarium; Lake Compounce, Bristol; Nautilus Memorial, Groton; Gillette Castle, Hadlyme; Valley Railroad, Essex; New-Gate Prison, East Granby; Branford Trolley Museum, East Haven; Connecticut river cruise ships; and the homes of Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher Stowe, Hartford. Connecticut also offers a wealth of cultural attractions, theater, opera, ballet, concerts, and a number of nationally ranked museums and art galleries. While Connecticut was first explored by the Dutch, who founded trading posts, the first permanent settlements were made by English Puritans from Massachusetts, starting in 1633. From the first, Connecticut enjoyed a great measure of political independence, pro- claiming in its Fundamental Orders of 1639 a democratic principle of government based on the will of the people. These Fundamental Orders are said to have been the first written Constitution of a democratic government; that’s why Connecticut today is nicknamed “The Constitution State.” Agriculture and trade were primary activities of 17th century colonists, but because of limited land Connecticut people quickly turned to manufacturing. During the American Revolution, Connecticut gave freely of her blood and wealth. Her

2004 UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 241 THE “STATE” OF UCONN

Professional Workforce Development Human capital is Connecticut’s principal natural resource and the state relies on the University of Connecticut to educate and train its highly skilled professional workforce. The University provides high quality education for a diverse student body, helping Connecticut to retain its brightest and most ambitious young minds, while drawing outstanding students from other regions who ultimately choose to become permanent residents of the state. Today, there are more than 90,000 UConn alumni who live and work in Connecticut. UConn also serves as a key educational resource to businesses, government agencies and nonprofit organizations. It provides continuing learning programs to keep employees’ knowledge and skills current, improve productivity and help businesses deliver better and more efficient services to their clients and customers.

The “State” of UConn Without question, the University of Connecticut is instrumen- tal in the state’s quality of life and economic growth. The Connecticut Center for Economic Analysis documents that annually UConn generates nearly 38,000 jobs, leverages $800 million in private and federal investments and adds $3.1 billion to Connecticut’s gross state product. The University’s contributions stretch beyond tangible figures. It conducts research and fosters knowledge; improves health care, education and the environment; hosts and supports exciting athletic, artistic and cultural events; and engages in community outreach and service. Thanks to UConn, Connecticut continues to secure its place in the global marketplace. The contributions of the University are woven into the fabric of the Nutmeg state.

restaurants and residences. Serving as Connecticut’s state capital, the City of Hartford is located in central Connecticut. The Connecticut River borders the City of Hartford to the east, and Hartford’s 18 square mile area rests entirely within the river valley. Terrain is gently rolling with extensive level areas and eleva- tions range from near sea level to 190 feet above. The artistic wealth and diversity of Hartford is portrayed in many ways—from its base as a home of an art museum of major significance (the Athenaeum), to a nationally recognized theater company (the Tony Award-winning Hartford Stage Company), to first-rate symphony, ballet and opera companies (respectively, the Hartford Symphony, the Hartford Ballet and the Connecticut Opera). The region has a strong historical relationship with liter- ature. Perhaps its best known author-in-residence was Mark Twain, who wrote several of his most famous works here, including Huckleberry Finn. Twain’s Hartford mansion, along with that of his neighbor Harriet Beecher Stowe, are open to the public.

The City of Hartford honored the national champion UConn men’s and women’s basketball teams with a parade that attracted approximately 350,000 people.

One of the hubs of downtown activity in Hartford is the Civic Center, which is also the home facility for the Hartford Wolfpack of the American Hockey League. Each year, the finest golfers in the world compete at the PGA Tour’s Buick Challenge, which is played at Cromwell’s Tournament Players Club at River Highlands. The greater Hartford landscape gained a major addition in 2003 when UConn football moved into its new $90 million stadium — Rentschler Field in East Hartford. The 40,000-seat open air stadium provides the state of Connecticut with a state- of-the-art facility in which the UConn Football program will compete at the major college level as a member of the BIG EAST Conference.

A new convention center is currently being built in Hartford and when completed, it will be the largest between New York City and Boston.

2004 UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 245 CLOSE TO STORRS

In addition to all that the city of Hartford and the state of Connecticut has to offer, the region within two hours of Storrs is ripe with cultural and entertainment possibilities.

SPRINGFIELD (47 miles) The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is located less than an hour from Storrs in Springfield, Mass., just minutes from the YMCA where Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891. A must-see for any fan of the hardwood, the Hall of Fame reopened in the fall of 2002 in a brand new $45 million home just off of Interstate 91 in Springfield. The pinnacle of any basketball career, the hall's long list of inductees includes everyone from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to John Wooden, while memorabilia from UConn’s National Championship teams is also on display. Once you finish your tour of the Hall of Fame, Springfield's neighboring suburb of Agawam is the home of Six Flags New England, the region's largest amusement park.

NEW YORK CITY (142 miles) The United States’ largest city and "the media capital of the world," New York City is located approximately two hours from Storrs and offers a wide array of cultural opportunities. From the glitter of Times Square, to the vast expanse of Central Park, to the majestic skyline, New York City is an incomparable destination and one that can be easily reached by the Metro-North train lines that run into southern Connecticut. UConn students also enjoy the city’s active sporting landscape. The BIG EAST Conference men’s basketball tournament, played every March at fabled Madison Square Garden, is one of the country’s premier collegiate conference championship events. The New York metro area also boasts 10 major professional sports franchises, including the NFL’s New York Jets and Giants, Major League Baseball’s New York Mets and Yankees, the NBA’s New York Knicks and New Jersey Nets, the NHL’s New York Islanders, New York Rangers and 2003 Stanley Cup Champion New Jersey Devils and the WNBA’s New York Liberty.

BOSTON (86 miles) The birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston’s historic Freedom Trail is a living history textbook, covering everything from the Battle of Bunker Hill to the midnight ride of Paul Revere. Meanwhile, the city blends its old world charm with a cosmopolitan new world attitude that is evidenced by some of the trendier shops and restaurants that line both historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Back Bay’s Newbury Street. One of the world’s foremost centers of education, Boston is home to over 50 colleges and universities; perhaps the entire world’s most concentrated collection of colleges. The greater Boston area also includes the summer beach resorts on Cape Cod and the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. A hub of sporting activity, the Boston Red Sox have called fabled Fenway Park home since 1912. The NBA’s Boston Celtics and NHL’s Boston Bruins also call Beantown home while the 2002 and 2004 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots and MLS’ New England Revolution play outside of the city in Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium.

Champions PROVIDENCE (51 miles) Rhode Island’s capital city shows that one of the nation’s smallest states also has plenty to offer its visitors. The multi- cultural capital city, which dates back to 1636, is the Ocean State’s centerpiece. The best known hamlet on the Rhode Island shore, the ocean town of Newport is world famous for its mansions and is a popular vacation destination for those seeking aquatic activities. Newport’s renowned music festival also is a well- attended annual event.

2004 UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT FOOTBALL MEDIA GUIDE 251 DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS JEFFREY A. HATHAWAY

effrey A. Hathaway was named the new Director of Athletics at the University of Connecticut on June 10, 2003, but he was far from a stranger on the Storrs J campus. Hathaway was the Executive Associate Director of Athletics at UConn from 1990- 2001 before serving as the Director of Athletics at Colorado State University for two years. In his first year as UConn’s athletic director, the men’s and women’s basketball teams both won the national championship while the women’s soccer team advanced to the NCAA final. In addition, the field hockey and men’s soccer teams also took part in NCAA tournament action and individuals from five other sports also advanced to NCAA competition. A total of 10 Husky student-athletes were named All-Americans in 2003-04 and two earned Academic All-America honors. UConn also opened Rentschler Field in 2003 – the country’s newest and most modern college football facility. The Huskies posted a 9-3 record in 2003 and ended the year with five-straight wins. Hathaway’s first year also saw the UConn Division of Athletics raise a total of nearly $14 million. In addition, UConn secured a gift of $2.5 million from UConn graduate Mark Shenkman for the building of The Mark R. Shenkman Training Center, an intercollegiate, intramural and recreational facility that will serve the entire UConn community. During Hathaway’s career, he has always made the student-athlete the top priority. In the 2003 spring and fall semesters, nearly 40 percent of UConn’s 650 student-athletes earned a 3.0 grade point average or better – including 14 that had a perfect 4.0. In addition, the Division of Athletics has consistently maintained a 99 percent retention rate among its student-athletes. “My focus is on the student-athlete,” says Hathaway. “That’s the most important part of our program.

“UCONN HUSKY” FIGHT SONG “UConn Husky” is the fight song of the school. It was written in the mid-1930’s by Herb France, who was UConn’s Director of Music until the mid-1950’s. The song is widely known for its playing at different sporting events, but got “out of this world” attention in October 1989 when it was played aboard NASA’s Space Shuttle to wake up the shuttle astronauts. Among those astronauts on the mission was Franklin Chang-Diaz, a 1973 UConn graduate.
