At minimum I hope that my thoughts on the direction of the Graduate School may prove helpful to the search committee and the new Dean, whomever that may be. To begin, there are three important attributes that I believe I can bring to this role. I share them here, because they clearly drive my comments on the envisioning committee’s specific recommendations. - I am most passionate about student success, and I firmly believe student success represents a singular goal that we can tie all our other goals and metrics into. - I am unable to settle for anything but operational excellence in day-to-day activities, and believe that you cannot sustainably advance the boundaries of academia without operational strength. - I am applying to this role with significant leadership experience, including connecting to both leadership on campus and with government, community, and industry leaders. I will now comment on my general approach to this role and the envisioning committee’s recommendations. At this re-envisioning stage for the Graduate School, approach is arguably more important than detailed action plans.

    National Collegiate Baseball Writers Newsletter (Volume 41, No. 7, Aug. 27, 2002) The President’s Message NCBWA President Rob Carolla Hello to everyone from the President’s chair! As I sit down to write this, we’re busy preparing for football, soccer, volleyball and all the other fall sports. I’m sure college baseball (not this strike-related nonsense!) may be the last thing on your mind – but I hope to put a few quick topics in front of each of you. To begin, I would like to congratulate the 2002 Wilbur Snypp Award winner – Russ Anderson of Conference USA. Russ has been a great friend and promoter of college baseball and the NCBWA and his work for the organization and its members has been invaluable. Thanks, Russ! Speaking of Russ, I hope everyone has submitted his or her dues for membership in 2002-03. On that topic, I’m hoping one thing we can do during my tenure is increasing the membership among media representatives in the organization. The SID representation has always been very strong, and I hope that we can have as equally solid a group from the media sector. I’m asking each NCBWA member to recruit just ONE person from the media to join the organization in 2002-03. If each of you can recruit just ONE media member to join, it would be fantastic! I sincerely ask everyone to keep this in mind as we get closer to baseball season. In addition, I would like to solicit any feedback regarding how we can help you in the upcoming year.

For well over a century, the Western Amateur has provided some of the best competition in golf, amateur or professional. This record book allows reporters covering the Western Am the ability to easily compare current achievements to those of the past. It draws on research conducted by delving into old newspaper files, and by going through the Western Golf Association’s own Western Amateur files, which date to 1949. Last year, a major expansion of the Guide presented complete year-by-year records and a player register for 1899 through 1955, the pre-Sweet Sixteen era, for the first time. Details on some courses and field sizes from various years remain to be found, but no other amateur championship has such an in-depth resource. Remaining holes in the listings will continue to be filled in for future editions. The section on records has been revised, and begins on page 8. This includes overall records, including a summary on how the medalist fared, and more records covering the Sweet Sixteen years. The Guide is in two sections covering 203 pages. Part 1, which is 76 pages, includes a year-by-year summary chart, records, a special chart detailing the 34 players who have played in the Sweet Sixteen in the 62 years since its adoption in 1956 and have won a professional major championship, and a comprehensive report the Sweet Sixteen era through both year-by-year results and a player register.
