EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE Building on a strong tradition of teacher education, the University of Northern Iowa has evolved into one of the finest comprehensive public universities in the country. UNI emphasizes excellence in undergradu­ ate education and offers selected graduate programs at the master's, specia Iist's and doctoral levels.

UN l's heritage and philosophy University of~ place great value on providing Northern Iowa a student-centered educational experience. The university offers a learning environment that is small enough to provide students with individual attention, yet large enough to provide a variety of resources, including distinguished faculty.

Today, UNI offers more than 120 undergraduate majors. Outstanding academic programs, many of which are nationally-recognized for their excellence, have been established in the colleges of Business Administra­ tion, Education, Humanities and Fine Arts, Natural Sciences, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. In addition, UNI participates in the bachelor of liberal studies program offered by Iowa 's Regent Universities and provides classes in centers around the state through the division of Continuing Education and Special Program s.

Recognized as the premier public undergraduate university in the state, UNI is experiencing an increasing demand for its high-quality programs. Enrollment at UNI was 12,609 in the fall of 2007. Students come from ev­ ery county in Iowa, and about 94 percent of UNl's undergraduate students are residents of Iowa upon enrollment.

The University of Northern Iowa was founded in 1876 as Iowa State Normal School. It became Iowa State Teachers College in 1909. In 1961, the name was changed to the State College of Iowa and in 1967, the Iowa legislature changed the status of the institution to that of a university under its present title.

A NEW ERA DAWNS WITH NEW COACH AND NEW HOME FIELD, PANTHERS BEGIN 2008 WITH NEW ATTITUDE

Fresh faces are everywhere around the University of Northern Iowa softball program. From an entirely new coaching staff to the five newcomers who will take the field this season, the Panthers bring a fresh approach to 2008. Along with a nucleus of experienced returners that includes four seniors, the goal of these newcomers is singular: to help build the Panther softball program into one of the Missouri Val­ ley Conference's best.

With a balance of veteran leadership and talented newcomers UNI hopes improve upon a disappointing 2007 season that saw the Panthers finish 19-32 overall and in 10th place in The Valley. The rebuilding of UNl's softball program begins with its new coaching staff, as Ryan Jacobs enters his first year as head coach for the Panthers.

Jacobs, most recently the head softball coach at Cedar Falls (Iowa) High School, will take over the reigns alongside first-year assistant coaches Julie Gerdes and Destiny Willer. Neither Jacobs or Gerdes are strangers to UNI athletics, as Jacobs served as an assistant base­ ball coach for the Panthers from 2001 to 2005 and Gerdes played for the Panthers on the softball field from 2002 to 2004.

Along with fresh coaching faces, UNI also brings in a talented group of newcomers that includes three freshmen and two junior college transfers. The Panthers also return 12 letterwinners - including eight starters - from their 2007 squad.

INFIELD The Panthers return five letterwinners from last season on the infield, but also will mix in four newcomers to ignite the UNI defense. Leading the pack are senior Stephanie Aguero, junior Morgan Paulson and sophomore Jen Larsen. Aguero, who has never missed a start in 149 career games, will begin her second season as the Panthers' starting shortstop after playing third base for the first two seasons of her UNI career. The Muscatine, Iowa, native comes off a 2007 campaign that saw her set career highs for batting average, hits, slugging percentage, walks and on -base percentage. Her 12 doubles were seventh-best of any MVC player, while her nine-game hit streak was a team high. Paulson returns to first base after a solid season in 2007 in which she committed only six errors in 44 starts, where she will split time with Larsen. As a freshman Larsen drove in 26 runs and posted a team-high .326 average, along with nine home runs. Sophomore Sarah Bakey will also see time at third base for UNI.

On the surface, the 2007 University of Northern Iowa softball team appeared to merely hover at or near the bottom of the Missouri Valley Conference standings, much as it had the season before. Dig a little deeper, however. and it becomes clear that, while the Panthers were relegated to a 10th-place finish in The Valley for a second consecutive year, the 2007 campaign served as one of great improvement for a very young UNI squad .

42 WWW.UNIPANTHERS COM THE PANTHERS OPPONENTS »YEAR IN REVIEW HISTORY THE MISSOURI VALLEY CONFERENCE

Fresh off a centennial celebration in 2006-07, the Missouri Valley Conference begins its second century as a leader in college athletics as the nation's second-oldest NCAA Division I conference.

In the league's first 100 seasons, 32 members combined for 27 national championships, while 56 Valley student-athletes captured NCAA individual titles. In addition, Valley student-athletes and coaches earned 50 National Player or Coach of the Year honors in their respective sports. And the league had a myriad of student-athletes who collected All-America honors and earned national academic distinction in The Valley's first century.
