Fall 2012 NEWSLETTER THE HIGHEST HONOR ATTAINED AT THE

A Message from the Chief Greetings Tribe Members! On behalf of the officers and myself, welcome to the start of another academic year. We hope that your summer has been relaxing and that you are ready to hit the ground running this fall! In the spirit of progress, we would like to begin this newsletter with a quote from Albert Einstein – “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” Semesters will come and go, new members will be initiated and may not come back for years, but our Tribe will always remain. The question is, “How much will we progress?” Recent changes in the Tribe have returned us to a mindset from our roots and have met the standards of a rapidly growing and 2012-2013 OFFICERS advancing University. The University of Miami has risen into the top tier of universities, now ranked 38th in the nation by US News and World Report. We are in a period of incredible innovation and sweeping ASHLEY TAGGART technological advances. For our Tribe to continue thriving, we must not only embrace, but also seek to Chief improve upon, the changes that previous officers and Councils of Elders have executed. We welcome 305.775.1278 the advice and support from any and all Tribe members, as we continue on this “pathway to greatness” [email protected] that was laid down so many years ago. MELISSA GULLER In our last business meeting of the spring semester, several matters were discussed that have Son of Chief created the groundwork for this new academic year. We intend to be more visible on campus. It is our 314.477.6143 mission as Iron Arrow to uphold the traditions of our Alma Mater and to be its living history. We will work [email protected] year-round to fulfill this mission, and we will continually ask ourselves if we are doing enough to meet the needs of current students. It is important that we, as a Tribe, are here for students to provide SHELBY JUAREZ encouragement and advice on how to get involved. To give incoming students a view of how Medicine Man remarkable our Tribe is – we placed an ad in “’s First Impression” issue entitled “Iron 203.979.5388 Arrow Welcomes U”. In addition, our Fall 2011 and Spring 2012 tap class photos can be found in the [email protected] 2011-2012 edition of the “Ibis” Yearbook. Working with student publications will provide us with a good start to a great year of engaging with the UM community. Last, but certainly not least, we realize that it can be difficult for members who are not living in COUNCIL OF ELDERS Miami to stay connected with the Tribe. With this in mind, we have been working with the Council of JOHANN A. ALI Elders to create an online network, open only to the Tribe, through which members can contact each DAVID L. BROWN other. However, for this system to work, we MYLES A. COCHRAN need an overwhelming response from current members in their use of the networking DAVID McDONALD, Sr. system. We hope that through this system, we ELIZABETH M. RODRIGUEZ can all remain active in the Tribe and foster our MICHELLE A. WILLIAMS love for our Alma Mater from anywhere in the C. RHEA WARREN world. We look forward to seeing many of you at this year’s Tribal activities and UM community events. We welcome your input FACULTY ADVISOR and suggestions, and we thank you for your ANN M. HELMERS support and dedication to the Tribe.

Yours in the Arrow, Ashley Taggart SPONSOR 2012-2013 Chief DONNA E. SHALALA

Iron Arrow Honor Society Fall 2012 Luncheon Speaker: Katie Meier Katie Meier enters her eighth season in 2012-2013 as the head coach of the Hurricanes' women's basketball program. A well known and respected figure in women's basketball, Meier has worked tirelessly to put her mark on Miami's program and to build a winning tradition. All of her hard work was rewarded after the 2010-11 season as she was named both the ACC and the Associated Press National Coach of the Year - sharing the award with Connecticut's Geno Auriemma and Stanford's Tara VanDerveer. A four-year letterwinner (1986-88, 1990) at , Meier was a 1988 GTE All-American and the 1986 ACC Rookie of the Year. She still ranks tied for first in Duke’s all-time single-game records for assists with 12 and scored the fifth-most points in a game in Duke history with 36 points. Meier lists fifth among all- time Duke career scoring leaders with 1,761 points (16.2 ppg.) and 10th for assists with 409. During her four years on the court Meier helped Duke compile a 72-43 mark and advance to the 1986 WNIT and 1987 NCAA Tournament second round. No stranger to international basketball, after leaving Duke Meier spent three years playing professional basketball in Belgium from 1990-93 and aided her team to a trio of Belgium Cup titles. Meier got her head coaching start at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where in four seasons (2001-02 through 2004-05) she turned around a program that had not posted a winning record since the 1993-94 season and had only one postseason appearance since Charlotte entered NCAA Division I. Meier led the Hurricanes into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2004 and its win over Gardner-Webb in the first round was the first tournament win for the 'Canes since 1993. Miami entered the 2010-11 season with high internal expectations, but were picked eighth in the Preseason ACC Poll and were coming off a season in which it was the No. 12 seed in the ACC Tournament. However, the Hurricanes exceeded all of the outside expectations and at one point, won 17 straight games. They were a perfect 20-0 inside the BankUnited Center and finished 12-2 in ACC play - earning their first regular season conference title since joining the league in 2004. As a reward, Meier was named the ACC Coach of the Year and later would be selected as the WBCA/RUSSELL ATHLETIC Region 2 Coach of the Year, as voted on by her peers. Meier continued that success into the 2011-12 season, a year in which the Canes accomplished many firsts for the program. Miami defeated Maryland - the eventual ACC Tournament champ - twice during the regular season, the first when they were ranked No. 5 in the nation. It was the first time in program history that the Hurricanes had defeated a Top 5 team. Later in the year, UM ascended to its highest ranking ever, also at No. 5. The Hurricanes proved to be formidable on the court inside the BankUnited Center as the 2011-12 season saw Miami go undefeated at home for the second consecutive season. Their 16-0 mark on the year, pushed the Canes record win streak to 40 consecutive games. Only Stanford ended the season with a longer active streak. For her dedication to the University of Miami and the athletic department, Meier was signed to a two-year contract extension, securing the Wheaton, Ill. native through the 2017-18 season. An 11-year coaching veteran (2001-02 to present), Katie Meier was named on April 19, 2012, as head coach for the 2012 USA Basketball Women's U18 National Team.
