EMu GolF FacilitiEs

Eagle Crest Golf Course The golf course is owned by Eastern Michigan University and is open to the golfing public. The golf club features an 18-hole championship golf course overlooking the picturesque Ford Lake in Ypsilanti Township. The par 72 course provides golfers with one of the most scenic and challenging courses in Southeastern Michigan. The layout of the course - designed by Karl Litten of Boca Raton, Florida - is a challenge for both novice and seasoned golfers with several holes bordering the scenic banks of Ford Lake. The golf course has four sets of tees that provide a vari-ety of choices for all golfers, and stretches to a length of 6750 yards from the championship markers. Eagle Crest Golf Club has a USGA course stroke rating of 73.6 and a slope rating of 138 from the championship tees. Eagle Crest is home to both the EMU men's and women’s golf teams, as well as the annual host site for the Michigan high school boys and girls state golf finals.

Multi-Purpose Air-Supported Facility The official ground-breaking for Eastern Michigan University’s new multi-purpose indoor practice facility was held Tuesday, Oct. 20, at the building site of the facility, on the lower outdoor football grass practice field at the corner of Huron River Drive and Westview Drive. The new air-supported structure will provide collegiate ath-letic teams and the Ypsilanti community with more opportunities to continue playing and practicing despite inclement weather. “The Board and the University are working hard to enhance the physical infrastructure of EMU,” said Roy Wilbanks, chair of EMU’s Board of Regents. “Student life was improved with the new student center; the new science complex and Pray Harrold are part of the cru-cial focus on academics; the new police station emphasized safety and security, and now this facility will help athletics. That’s more than $175 million dollars toward physical improvements on just those projects.” The new multi-purpose facility, which will cost $3.9 million, will be located near the corner of Huron River Drive and Westview Drive, near the northeast corner of Rynearson Stadium. The facility will be a permanent air-supported structure that is 410 feet long, 210 feet wide, and 75 feet tall and will include a welcome center (1,000 square feet) and convertible space (86,000 square feet) that can be configured for a football field, an international soccer field or four youth soccer fields. “We want to provide our student-athletes with as many competi-tive advantages as possible,” said EMU Director of Athletics Dr. Der-rick Gragg. “This facility will potentially benefit all of our student-athletes, particularly football, women’s soccer, baseball, softball and men’s and women’s golf.” The Board of Regents approved the plan for the indoor facility at its June 2009 meeting and it was unanimously approved by the state’s Joint Capital Outlay Subcommittee in September. The project is being funded by the 2005 tuition increase, 4 percent of which was specifically dedicated to enhance the university’s infra-structure. The 4 percent increase (or approximately $4.4 million) has accumulated for the past four years, creating a pool of $17.6 million. The new facility is scheduled for completion in the spring of 2010.

When the Eastern Michigan University athletics department was searching for a head women’s golf coach to lead the team into the future, there was one name that continued to move to the top of the list — Sandy Wagner. Wagner came highly touted as someone that would provide some needed excitement and stability into the program to begin the resurgence of EMU women’s golf. The 2009-10 season is Wagner’s fifth as head coach. Wagner has proven to be the right person for the job after her first four seasons. At the conclusion of the 2008-09 campaign, the Eagles ranked as the 10th best team in the nation in total short game with a .485 average. In addition to the short game accolade, the Eagles ranked 81st nationally by the Golfweek/Sagarin ratings and 86th by GolfStat. EMU senior Stephany Fleet was ranked the 129th best golfer in the nation according to the Golfweek/Sagarin system with a 66-43-12 overall record in 2008-09. Following the school’s best finish with a runner-up showing at the 2009 Mid-American Conference Women’s Golf Championship, EMU picked a trio of postseason awards to cap a stellar 2008-09 campaign. Fleet was named to the all-tournament team and first team All-MAC squad, earning first team honors for the second time in her career. Sophomore Darby Peters also garnered first team All-MAC accolades for her efforts, while senior Courtney Aili was selected to the all-tournament team and second team All-MAC. Wagner guided the Eagles to a record-setting season in 2007-08, with a second place showing at the 2008 Mid-American Conference Championship. The Green and White won a school-record four in-season tournaments. EMU won the Brickyard Invitational and the Shootout at the Legends that fall along with the Red Rocks Invitational and the EKU Spring Invitational in the spring. Additionally, the Eagles’ scoring average of 307.1 was the lowest total in the program’s 14-year history. The mark is 17.61 strokes per 18 holes (307.01 to 324.68) better than when Wagner arrived on the Ypsilanti campus. Heading into the 2007-08 spring campaign, Eastern Michigan achieved its highest national ranking ever. The Eagles ranked 52nd according to the Oct. 17, 2007, release of the GolfStat head-to-head standings. EMU finished the season ranked 84th with a record of 148-84 in the May 5, 2008, release. Cath-erine Fortin also posted the lowest 18-hole average in school history at 74.96

strokes. That total eclipsed the previous best of 75.9 set by Fortin during the 2005-06 campaign. Also, Fleet posted an average of 75.54 that season, for the second-best mark in EMU history. For their efforts throughout the year, Fortin was named to the All-MAC first team while Fleet garnered second team All-MAC honors. Selected as the 2006-07 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year, Wag-ner led the Eagles to the school’s best finish at the MAC Championship with a runner-up showing at the Longaberger Golf Club with a three-day total of 1,252 (317-310-311-314). EMU’s second-place finish equaled the mark set by the 2003 squad when it recorded a 925 at Walden Ponds Golf Course in Hamilton, Ohio. At the 2007 MAC Championship, Fortin finished in third place with a 304 (76-72-79-77) while Fleet placed eighth with a 312 (82-79-75-76). Fortin’s finish was the highest ever for an Eagle golfer at the MAC Championship and the pair were only the seventh and eighth EMU players to record a top 10 showing in the nine-year history of the event. For their efforts, both golfers garnered first team All-MAC accolades. Besides guiding the Green and White to a record-setting performance at the MAC Championships, Wagner propelled Eastern Michigan to three champion-ships and a second place finish during the 2006-07 season. In her first season in Ypsilanti, in 2005-06, Wagner improved the Eagles’ team score by 13.4 strokes a round (324.7 to 311.3). She also helped guide the squad to six individual top five and six rounds under par after none during the 2004-05 campaign. The team posted its first victory since the 2002 season. During Wagner’s tenure at EMU, academics have also played an important part of being a student-athlete. The team posted a 3.45 GPA during the 2007 winter semester as Courtney Aili, Kelly Boogaard, Marjorie Thuot and Stephany Fleet were each singled out by the National Golf Coaches Association as an All-American Scholar selection. A Grand Rapids, Mich. native, Wagner is the fourth coach of the Eagles in the history of the program. She came to EMU after serving an assistant women’s golf coach at the University of Michigan for five years. As a member of the Michigan women’s golf staff from 2000-2005, Wagner helped the Wolverines appear in four NCAA Tournaments (2001, 2002, 2004, 2005). During her tenure the Wolverines also captured a runner-up spot in the 2005 Big Ten Championships. Wagner is a member of the LPGA and teaches golf at Miles of Golf-Kendall Academy in Ann Arbor. Prior to joining the U-M women’s golf staff, Wagner was a golf professional at Walton Golf Range (1996-99) in Pontiac and also at Willow Creek Golf and Sports Center (1998-2000) in Lake Orion. As a player she finished fourth at the 2000 state of Michigan Women’s Open, and also won the Red Holman Pro-Am tournament, shooting a one-under part 73 at Meadowbrook Country Club. The 41-year-old Wagner (8-23-68) graduated from Ferris State University in 1991 after earning a bachelor’s degree in business management. She served as a three-year captain of the FSU softball team and also played on the basketball squad for one year.

Where We’re Located Eastern Michigan University is located in historic Ypsilanti, seven miles east of Ann Arbor, 40 miles west of Detroit and just 20 minutes from Detroit Metropolitan Airport. It is an area rich in academic, research, techno-logical and recreational resources. The University also has sites in Livonia, Jackson, Traverse City, Flint, Detroit and Monroe. EMU’s 800 plus-acre main campus of scenic flora and wooded areas includes 18 miles of walkways and jogging trails and has 122 buildings throughout the academic and athletic campuses. Eagle Crest – Eastern Michigan’s conference center, golf course and resort – is located on the banks of nearby Ford Lake. Recently named “A Cool City,” by Michigan’s Governor Jennifer Granholm, Ypsilanti plays a leading role in industry and education. The city and the University have forged close ties that have lasted 160 years.

What Makes Us Unique In 1849, with the passage of Act No. 138, the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Michigan formally paved the way for the establishment of Michigan State Normal School, with the exclusive purposes of instructing persons in the art of teaching; providing a good common school education; and giving instruction in the mechanic arts, husbandry, agricultural chemistry and the laws of the United States. Since its inception, Eastern Michigan, first as a Normal School, then as a College and finally as a University, has grown and developed to respond to the ever-changing needs of society. Over the years, EMU has educated thousands of sons and daughters of Michigan, the nation, and the world. The University currently serves nearly 22,000 students who are pursuing undergraduate, graduate, special-ist, doctoral and certificate degrees in the arts, sciences and professions. In all, more than 200 majors, minors and concentrations are delivered through the University’s Colleges of Arts and Sciences; Business; Education; Health and Human Services; Technology, and its graduate school. Eastern Michigan’s exceptional faculty, students and alumni include CEOs from major businesses; a National Student Teacher of the Year, National Teacher of the Year, numerous Fulbright Scholars and Milken Family Foundation National Educators award winners; and several Michigan Teachers of the Year. EMU is regularly recognized by national publications for its excellence, diversity, and commitment to ap-plied education.

Faculty/Staff Eastern Michigan University employs 689 full-time faculty and 1,100 staff members. Ninety-four percent of EMU professors have doctoral degrees or terminal degrees in their field. The student to faculty ratio is 19:1. Faculty work closely with students, and many in-volve students in their research. In 2009, the University celebrated its 29th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergraduate research.

Community Outreach Eastern Michigan is making an impact nationally by channeling its academic research as a means of solving real-world problems. EMU currently has 14 research institutes and centers that focus on community build-ing and civic engagement, quality, community and regional development, small business development, geospatial education, textiles, export assistance and product development. EMU is well known for merging theory and practice for the benefit of the community. Applied research leads to new knowledge, new jobs and new business. Annually, the university receives about $15 million in revenues for sponsored research and community service activities.

The Alumni Association Representing more than 142,000 alumni and friends, the Alumni Association sponsors social and service-related programs for more than 20 geograph-ically-based and special-interest alumni chapters.

EMU’s Economic Impact Since its founding in 1849, Eastern Michigan has provided quality services to the residents of Ypsilanti, Washtenaw County, the State of Michigan and other states and nations. EMU’s total impact on the Michigan economy of an estimated $3 billion annually reflects a return of more than $30 for each dollar received from the state. The University’s total impact on the Michigan economy results in a contribution of $115 million in state tax revenue. Thus, EMU’s impact on state government tax revenue is $1.25 in taxes for each dollar received from the state.

Mission Statement Eastern Michigan University is committed to excellence in teaching through traditional and innovative approaches, the extension of knowledge through basic and applied research, and creative and artistic expression. Building on a proud tradition of national leadership in the preparation of teachers, we maximize educational opportunities and per-sonal and professional growth for students from diverse backgrounds through an array of baccalaureate, master’s and doctoral programs. We strive to provide a student-focused

learning environment that enhances the lives of students and positively impacts the community. We extend our commitment beyond the campus boundaries to the wider community through service initiatives, and public and private partnerships of mutual interest addressing local, regional, national and international opportunities and challenges.

Our History When the state of Michigan was just 12 years old, Michigan State Normal School was designated by the state legislature as the first institution to educate teachers to serve the public schools. The University thus began, somewhat humbly, as the sixth teacher education institution in the nation. A campus that today comprises more than 800 acres was once a four-acre plot with one building and two programs of study – a classical course and an English Course. The school’s name has changed several times – to Michigan State Normal College in 1899; to Eastern Michigan College in 1956; and finally to Eastern Michigan University in 1959. During its first 100 years, the institution certified thousands of teachers and developed the broad-based curricula that ultimately prepared it for university status. Within that new university, three colleges emerged: Education, Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School. The University has since expanded three more times; adding the College of Business in 1964, the College of Health and Human Services in 1975 and the College of Technology in 1980. More recently Eastern Michigan has developed Extended Programs that include Continuing Education, the Centers for Corporate Training, the World College and numerous community-focused institutes. The University has enhanced its learning environment through structural initiatives during the past several years. Recent construction includes the Terrestrial and Aquatic Research Facility (1998), the Convocation Center (1998), the Bruce T. Halle Library (1998), the John W. Porter College of Education Building (1999), the Everett L. Marshall College of Health and Human Services Building (2000), the Village residence hall (2001), University House (2003) and the Student Center (2006).

The City of Ypsilanti Ypsilanti is a city in Washtenaw County with a population of 22,362. Originally a trading post established in 1809 by Gabriel Godfroy, a French-Canadian fur trader from Montreal, a permanent settlement was established on the east side of the Huron River in 1823 by Major Thomas Woodruff. It was incorporated into the Territory of Michigan as the village Woodruff’s Grove. A separate community a short distance away on the west side of the river was established in 1825 under the name “Ypsilanti”, after Demetrius Ypsilanti, a hero in the Greek War of Independence. Woodruff’s Grove changed its name to Ypsilanti in 1829, and the two communities even-tually merged. Henry Ford and the automotive industry came to Ypsilanti in the 1930s and beautiful Ford Lake was created to generate hydroelectric power for the manufacturing plants. During World War II, Ypsilanti became home to the Willow Run Bomber Plant, a factory that would employ 100,000 workers.

The Eastern Michigan University Office of Athletics Compliance is committed to a com-prehensive compliance program that educates student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, institutional employees, community members and boosters about the importance of adhering to NCAA, Mid-American Conference and institu-tional rules. The commitment to compliance en-sures institutional control over the department of athletics. The existence of a successful com-pliance program depends on the willingness of coaches, administrators, staff, student-athletes and boosters to be cognizant of NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

WHAT IS COMPLIANCE? At Eastern Michigan University, the Office of Compliance works within the department of athletics and the University to ensure EMU's compliance with all applicable NCAA, MAC and institutional rules. In doing so, the compliance office is charged with the following tasks:

Educating administrators, coaches, staff, •prospective student-athletes, current stu-dent-athletes and boosters about NCAA, MAC and institutional rules;Developing monitoring systems to ensure •compliance with NCAA, MAC and institu-tional rules (e.g., recruiting, academic eli-gibility, financial aid, awards and benefits, amateurism and agents);Investigating and reporting violations of •NCAA, MAC and institutional rules.

ARE YOU A BOOSTER? You are a booster if you are or ever have:

Been a member of a booster organization •that supports EMU athletics (e.g., EMU Ath-letic Club, E-Gridiron Group);Made any financial contributions to the •athletics department;Been involved in promoting EMU's athlet-•ics program;Been a season ticket holder; or•Provided benefits to enrolled student-ath-•letes or their relatives or friends.

You can become a booster if you provide ben-efits to prospects, student-athletes, their rela-tives or friends and any of the following state-ments are true:

The relationship between the athlete (or •parents of the athlete) and the individual providing the benefits developed as a re-sult of the athlete's participation in athlet-ics or their reputation as an athlete;The relationship began only after the ath-•lete become a prospect;The relationship began only after the ath-•lete had achieved notoriety due to his or her athletic ability or reputation;The pattern of benefits increased after the •athlete attained notoriety as a talented athlete.

ONCE A BOOSTER ALWAYS A BOOSTER. Once an individual is identified as a booster, the person retains that identity forever! This is true even if the individual no longer contributes to, or is involved with, EMU's athletics program.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE? A prospective student-athlete (prospect) is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade, students enrolled in preparatory schools and two-year colleges are also considered pros-pects. An individual remains a prospect even after he/she signs a National Letter of Intent.

WHAT IS AN EXTRA BENEFIT? An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a EMU employee or booster to provide a pros-pect, student-athlete or their relatives or friends a benefit not expressly authorized by the NCAA. Examples of impermissible benefits include, but are not limited to, the following:

Gifts of cash, clothing, equipment or any •other tangible item;A special discount, payment arrangement •or credit on any purchase or service;Loan of money or co-signing of loans;•A vehicle, use of a vehicle, or any transpor-•tation expenses;Free or reduced-cost services, purchases or •rentals;Entertainment on- or off-campus; or•Free or reduced-cost rent or housing.•

WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES? EMU is responsible for the actions of its boost-ers. If a booster provides an impermissible ben-efit to a prospect, student-athlete, their relatives or friends, EMU may be subject to penalties from the NCAA and Mid-American Conference. When a violation occurs, regardless of intention, it can:

Jeopardize the eligibility of prospective •and current student-athletes; Result in the EMU athletics program being •penalized by the NCAA and/or the Mid-American Conference; and Cause you to lose benefits or privileges •associated with the athletics department (i.e., booster club membership, ticket privi-leges).

QUESTIONS? The above information is a brief overview of compliance and rules pertaining to boosters and their interactions with prospective student-athletes. If you have any questions about any NCAA, MAC or institutional rules, please contact the Dr. Melody Reifel Werner at 734.487.2327 or [email protected].
