Razorbacks seek success on world stage

The opportunity to compete against the best athletes in the country – and perhaps to represent one’s own country against the best in the world – is a dream of most athletes. Continuing a rich tradition of international competition, a number of University of Arkansas swimmers and divers will get the chance to do just that in the upcoming year. Eight Razorbacks swimmers have already qualified for the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials. Held June 25 to July 2 in Omaha, Neb., the Trials will determine the team that represents the United States in the pool at the London Olympic Games. The Razorbacks who have qualified are Liz Braun in the 200 backstroke, Chelsea Franklin in the 400 freestyle, Julia Kucherich in the 200 backstroke and 400 individual medley, Nicole Menzel in the 800 freestyle, Jillienne Schilling in the 200 backstroke and 400 individual medley, Haley Smith in the 200 backstroke, Alison Templin in the 400 and 800 freestyle and Katie Whitbeck in the 100 butterfly. Head coach Jeff Poppell could not be more pleased with the experience that national and international competition gives his athletes. “I always think that’s a fantastic experience for them,” Coach Poppell said. “In the SEC, that’s the caliber competition you’re competing against. Some of the top junior national team starting at the age of nine, and at 14 schools in the conference have world champions and became the youngest member of the national team.

Three of the U.S.’s largest corporations have their world headquarters in the region: Tyson Foods, J.B. Hunt Transportation, and the world’s largest retailer, Walmart Corp. Because of their OLD MAIN One of the original buildings on Arkansas’ campus, Old Main symbolizes the strong connection to the past and the focus upon the future which come together in the present at the University of Arkansas. Completed in 1875, Old Main stood the test of time until the mid-1980s when age and modern building codes threatened to send it to the wrecking ball as had happened to its sister building at the University of Illinois. A major fund-raising campaign by alumni totally renovated Old Main. Reopening in 1992, the building maintains the feel of a Victorian-era building with high ceilings and elaborate wooden trim. Just below the surface of the period hardwood floors, Old Main is hard-wired to the internet and built to last well into its second century. Even with renovation, Old Main remained unfinished until 2005. One of the gifts during the Campaign for the Twenty-First Century specified the installation of a clock, originally planned for the blank faces of the south tower. As mentioned, Old Main was built from shared plans with its counterpart on the Illinois campus, with one important difference. The north tower of Arkansas’ Old Main is taller than the south tower. Legend says this was symbolic of the Civil War as the lead engineer was a northern veteran. 74 ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS SWIMMING AND DIVING presence, many other corporations have established primary or secondary headquarters in Northwest Arkansas.

The U of A’s total annual operating budget for FY2011 is $528 million. Tuition and fee revenues make up the largest source of revenues, followed by an annual state appropriation. Almost 77 percent of all full-time undergraduate students receive some form of financial aid. U of A undergraduate tuition rates were ranked 38th lowest in the nation among land-grant universities, in keeping with the university’s emphasis on keeping itself accessible and affordable. In September 2010, the U of A enrolled a record 21,406 students. The student body consisted of students from all 50 states and more than 100 countries. More than 300 student organizations also exist on campus. There are plenty of things to do on- and off-campus. The HPER Center, the university’s state-of-the-art recreational facility, offers a great place to climb, swim, run, lift weights, do aerobics and yoga, or play basketball. Cultural and recreational options include attending lectures, readings, and theatrical performances, shopping opportunities, and listening to live music on nearby Dickson Street. In 2009, University Chancellor G. David Gearhart presented a long-range strategic plan that was formally endorsed by the elected leaders of the faculty, staff, and student body. The plan emphasizes a commitment to “students first,” and outlines goals and strategies to ensure that all students receive the resources and support they need to achieve their academic goals. The plan also emphasizes the U of A’s commitment to transparency and accountability to the people of Arkansas in its operation. More information about the U of A may be found at www.uark.edu.

SENIOR WALK The University of Arkansas is proud to be the last university in the nation maintaining what once was a common tradition of etching its graduates’ names into the campus sidewalks. The 100,000th graduate’s name went down in cement during the 1990s. The names on Senior Walk stretch over three miles of campus sidewalks. The story of Senior Walk is a perfect example of how the University of Arkansas brings its commitment to the past together with innovations for the future. When the costs involved in hand-etching names into concrete forced numerous other universities to give up, the University of Arkansas turned to its physical plant and engineering school grads to create a one-of-a-kind computerized sandblasting machine -- the SandHog. Each summer, the SandHog roars across the front lawn of Old Main, etching the names of graduates into sidewalks.

75 ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS SWIMMING AND DIVING CHANCELLOR DR. G. DAVID GEARHART Dr. G. David Gearhart became the chancellor of the University of Arkansas on July 1, 2008, following 10 years of service to the university as vice chancellor for university advancement. Previously he was senior vice president of Penn State University, during which time he was named a Fulbright Scholar, studying at Oxford University in Oxford, England. His Bachelor of Arts degree is from Westminster College in Missouri. Both his law degree and his doctor of education degree are from the University of Arkansas. He is a native of Fayetteville. Prior to being appointed chancellor, Dr. Gearhart oversaw the Campaign for the Twenty-First Century, the most successful capital campaign in Arkansas history, which raised more than $1 billion for academic programs. As chancellor, Dr. Gearhart instituted the first tuition freeze in 24 years and implemented a $220 million campus building renovation and refurbishment plan, as well as a campus-wide energy savings plan. He has also undertaken a renewed emphasis on the arts on campus, including the establishment of the “All Steinway Campus.” Dr. Gearhart has additionally implemented a major cost savings program that has already resulted in over $29.4 million in cost reduction and savings to the flagship campus. Campus enrollment has also grown by nearly 4,000 students in the past three years to almost 22,000 students. At the same time, diversity in the student body has increased significantly. He and his wife of more than 35 years, Jane, have two children and two grandchildren.

FACULTY ATHLETIC REPRESENTATIVE DR. SHARON HUNT Chancellor G. David Gearhart appointed Dr. Sharon Hunt to be the faculty athletics representative (FAR) for the University of Arkansas in August 2010. Dr. Hunt is the first woman and non-lawyer to hold the post. Dr. Hunt has been on the University of Arkansas faculty for 21 years and has served as head of the recently renamed Department of Health, Human Performance and Recreation in the College of Education and Health Professions for that entire time except for the 2000-01 academic year, when she served as interim dean of the college. On June 30, 2011 Dr. Hunt stepped down as Department Head and returned to the faculty at the rank of Professor giving her more time to devote to the FAR position. A high school athlete, Hunt’s involvement with collegiate athletics dates back to her own college days at the University of Arkansas when she played extramural sports with the women’s basketball and tennis teams prior to the enactment of Title IX. After receiving her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physical education from the university, she went on to earn a doctor of education degree from the University of Georgia, where she taught a variety of sport-activity courses as a graduate assistant. Upon the completion of her doctoral degree, she joined the faculty of the University of Kentucky for 13 years, where she taught both undergraduate and graduate courses and served as the graduate coordinator for the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. In 1990, she and her family returned to Fayetteville. The FAR’s responsibilities lie in three broad areas: academic integrity within the athletics program, student-athlete well-being, and institutional control of the athletics program. Dr. Hunt is involved in the student-athlete advisory council on campus and chairs the Academic Credential Review Committee and Athletic’s Academic Integrity Committee, and serves as an ex-officio member of the Faculty Athletics Committee. In addition, she travels to represent the University of Arkansas at various SEC and NCAA meetings. Dr. Hunt was instrumental in establishing the graduate athletic training education program in the College of Education and Health Professions, and she has worked closely with athletics on that program. The athletics department provides support to students in the athletic training education program in the form of a stipend, books and travel to the Arkansas Athletic Trainers’ Association annual meeting. Two endowed scholarships for athletic training students in honor of longtime Razorback trainers Dean Weber and the late Bill Ferrell were established through the athletics department. Dr. Hunt has been married to David Hunt since 1973, and they have an adult son and daughter as well as a grandson.
