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 word came early on a chilly, but calm Sunday morning, Feb. 7, 2010. After a series of delays caused by snow and wind — and with a big storm coming later that week — it was time to raise the roof on Eastern Michigan’s new indoor, multi-purpose athletic practice facility. Workers started at 7 a.m. and, by 9 a.m., the big, white, synthetic roof had billowed to its full height. Inside, members of EMU’s physical plant staff and construction workers admired the expansive space and thought of the athletes that would bring the place to life in the months to come. “The kids are going to have a ball in here,” said John Donegan, chief of operations for EMU’s Physical Plant. It was an improbable event, considering work on completing such a fa-cility and inflating the roof took place heading into and during a Michigan winter. But mild late fall weather helped workers and staff accomplish a great deal, such as pouring 2.5 million pounds of footings concrete. “We had a phenomenal November,” Donegan said. Light snow in January also helped. The area experienced less than 10 inches this year, compared to more than 30 inches last year. A one-inch dusting of snow delayed the inflation, but only for several days. “We definitely won on the snow front,” Donegan said. “If we’d have had a rough winter, this would have been a tough situation.” The facility, which costs $3.9 million, is located on Westview Drive, off Huron River Drive, at the northeast corner of Rynearson Stadium. The building will enable EMU’s collegiate athletic teams and the Ypsilanti community to continue playing and practicing despite inclement weather. The facility will support intramural, recreational and club sports events, as well as local sports leagues. The facility is 410 feet long, 210 feet wide and 75 feet tall. It includes a welcome center and convertible space that can be configured for a football field, an international soccer field or four youth soccer fields. Leasing rev-enues are projected to cover maintenance and operating costs. Despite the light Sunday mood, plenty of work remained after the infla-tion. Workers must unfreeze the ground, level the concrete, install synthetic turf and complete the welcome center. The parking lot will be completed in warmer weather. 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, four percent of which was specifically dedicated to enhance the university’s infrastructure. The four percent increase (or approximately $4.4 million) has accumulated for the past four years, creating a pool of $17.6 million.

Head Coach: Bruce Cunningham (Wittenberg, ‘85)Volunteer Assistant Coach: Jordan Young



Bruce Cunningham is in his 19th year at the helm of the Eastern Michigan men’s golf program. During his tenure, Eagle golfers have had some of their most successful years, finishing in the top five at the Mid-American Conference Cham-pionships for the past eight seasons. The team stroke average has also improved each year since he took over the reins. During his time in Ypsilanti, Cunningham has become accustomed to the NCAA experience. The 19-year mentor has either placed a team or an individual in the last six of the last seven NCAA Tournaments. In 2010, Cunningham guided the Eagles to the 11th seed in the NCAA Northwest Regional. The team selection was the fourth NCAA berth in program his-tory and the first as an at-large. In 2009, Christopher Ross earned an at-large bid to the NCAA South Central Regional Championships in Stillwater, Okla. In 2008, the Eagles placed 14th at the NCAA Central Regional after a 15th-place showing at the 2007 NCAA East Regional, which was EMU’s first team appearance in more than 60 years. Additionally, former EMU great Korey Mahoney qualified as an individual in both the 2005 and 2006 championships. Cunningham guided the Green and White to its second consecutive MAC Championship in 2008. Trailing by one shot heading into the final threesome of the three-day, 72-hole tournament, the Eagles’ Peter Sauer-brei completed his round with a par on the par four 18th. His Kent State opponent, David Ludlow, then missed a bogey putt and had to settle for a six to give Eastern Michigan the one-stroke victory, 1,171-1,172. In 2007, Cunningham guided the Eagles to their first Mid-American Conference Championship. Heading into the championship’s final 18 holes, Akron held a five-stroke lead over EMU. However, that all changed

as the Eagles finished the final round at one-over par 289, while UA carded a nine-over 297. For the tournament, the Green and White fired a 1,138 (285-290-274-289) to equal the school record for the best 72-hole tournament total. For his efforts, Cunningham was selected the Coach of the Year in 2007 and 2008. He is just the second EMU coach to capture the honor and the first since EMU Hall of Famer Jim Nelson did so during the 1980 season. At Eastern Michigan Cunningham has mentored some of the best golf-ers in EMU history, including Jordan Young, Ed Maunder, Brent Goulding, Rob Couture, Jaysen Hansen and Jeff Mankiewicz, Brad Pemberton, and Graham Hill as well as Mahoney. In addition to his duties as head coach, he was also the Head PGA Golf Professional at Eagle Crest Golf Club. He has served on the Mid-American Conference Golf Coaches Advisory Council since 2001. Cunningham was also a member of the NCAA District IV Golf Committee. He previously was the Chairman of the NCAA District IV Ethics Committee from 1997-2001. The 48-year-old Cunningham came to EMU near the end of the 1994 spring season after serving as an assistant golf professional at Oakland Hills Country Club for five years. He is a Class-A PGA Golf Professional. While at Oakland Hills Cunningham served as one of the teaching pros, responsible for giving lessons and clinics. He also assisted in the running of the 1991 U.S. Senior Open Championship. Also from 1989-93 Cunningham was the senior tournament director for the Junior Ping Tour presented by ESPN and Golfweek. Prior to his five years at Oakland Hills, Cunningham was an assistant golf pro at Palm Aire Country Club for the winter seasons from 1987-89. He was the assistant pro at Marion (Ohio) Country Club from 1986-88. A 1985 graduate of Wittenberg University, Cunningham was a two-time “Most Valuable Player” on the golf team and played in four national championships. He was also captain of the squad. Cunningham is a native of Ashland, Ohio and attended Ashland High School where he was a three-time all-conference golfer, earning “Most Valuable Golfer” honors as well as serving as captain of the squad. He also played on the basketball team, and earned third-team all-league honors in that sport. Cunningham and his wife, Marci, have two children, Allegra (3-22-98) and Hagen (7-10-2000).

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 involve students in their research. In 2009, the Uni-versity celebrated its 29th annual Undergraduate Symposium; a benchmark program for undergradu-ate 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 com-munity building and civic engagement, quality, com-munity 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 geographically-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.

Building on a proud tradition of national leadership in the preparation of teachers, we maximize educational opportunities and personal 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 environ-ment 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 certi-fied 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.

Entering her fourth year as the pres-ident of Eastern Michigan University, Dr. Susan W. Martin has made a sig-nificant impact on the campus in her short time in Ypsilanti. Named the 22nd president of EMU May 14, 2008, she is the first female president in EMU’s 161-year history. Martin officially took office July 7, 2008. “I am thrilled to be chosen for the honor of leading this great University, which has a strong history of excel-lent education and a bright future,” said Martin. During her inaugural address Mar-tin set fourth an ambitious vision for the university. The goals included building on the pillars of academic excellence, refreshing alumni rela-tionships, comprehensive fundraising and earning the public’s trust. Under Martin’s guidance in 2008, EMU was again recognized as a “Best Midwestern College” by The Princeton

Review for the sixth straight year. Additionally, for the fifth consecutive year, The Princ-eton Review recognized East-ern’s College of Business as one of the “Best 296 Business Schools” in the nation. Eastern Michigan also was awarded a 2009 Michigan His-toric Preservation Network’s (MHPN) Government/Institu-tional Award for its preserva-tion of the University’s core historic campus. Prior to coming to EMU, Mar-tin was the provost and vice-chancellor of academic affairs at the University of Michigan-Dearborn. The majority of Martin’s higher education career was at Grand Valley State University, where she taught and published as a professor of accounting and

taxation. Martin served as director of the master of taxation program, di-rector of international business pro-grams, and chair of the accounting and taxation department. In June 2001, Martin joined the GVSU provost’s office and served in roles as assistant, associate, and exec-utive associate vice president of aca-

demic affairs. One of her major duties in that office was to help manage the $154 million budget for the Academic Affairs Division. Before GVSU, Martin was deputy state treasurer for the Bureau of Lo-cal Government Services for Michigan from June 1981-June 1984. She also was the commissioner of revenue for the state of Michigan from 1985-1988. Martin is chair of the State of Michi-gan Hospital Finance Authority, originally appointed by former Gov. Blanchard and then reappointed by Governors Engler and Jennifer Gra-nholm. She also was appointed by Gov. Granholm to serve as her ex-officio representative on The Detroit Medical Center Financial Emergency Task Force in 2003-2004. Martin received her doctoral degree in accounting from Michigan State University in 1988 and her master’s degree in accounting from MSU in 1976. She earned her bachelor’s de-gree from Central Michigan University in 1971. In 2009, Martin received the MSU Department of Accounting and Infor-mation Systems Alumna of the Year Award.

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 Chris-topher Hoppe at 734.487.3263 or [email protected]. For more information on compli-ance and boosters, please visit the Office of Athletic Compliance's website at: EMUEagles.com/compliance

RECRUITING DO'S AND DON'TS Only EMU coaches may be involved in the recruiting process. Boosters may not make any recruiting contacts with prospective student-athletes, Boosters are prohibited from the fol-lowing:

Do not telephone, write or make in-person •contact with a prospect for recruiting pur-posesDo not contact a prospect's coach, princi-•pal or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the prospectDo not become involved in making ar-•rangements for a prospect, the prospect's relatives or friends to receive money or financial aid of any kindDo not visit a prospect's school to acquire •films or transcripts in an attempt to evalu-ate the prospect's academic or athletics eligibilityDo not have contact with a prospect, their •relatives or friends during any of their vis-its to EMU's campusDo not contact student-athletes enrolled •in other four-year institutions regarding the possibility of transferring to EMU

Even though there are many rules prohibit-ing your involvement with prospects and the recruiting process, as a booster you are permit-ted to do the following:

Notify EMU coaching staff about notewor-•thy prospects in your area,

Attend a prospect's athletics event on •your own initiative, provided no contact with the prospect, the prospect's parents or coach occurs,

Continue existing friendships, provided •solicitation of a prospect's enrollment does not occur.

Student-Athlete Support Services Academic, personal and professional support are essential to college success. At EMU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS) helps student-athletes reach their full potential. Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program, integrated with the University, that will assist all student-athletes with their transition into college. This all-encompassing support continues throughout each student-athlete’s collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job or enters graduate school. Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an aca-demic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. Services provided through SASS include the following: programs that focus on student-athletes’ special needs, monitoring academic performance, pro-viding learning assistance, assisting with registration procedures, assisting in monitoring athletic eligibility, providing priority registration and making sure that athletes are advised about current NCAA, MAC and University rules and regulations. Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support. College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. The success of Eastern’s student-athletes hinges on their willingness to seek assistance from SASS as well as other University student services. SASS staff members continually refer student-athletes to the Admissions Office, Academic Advising Center, Career Services Center, Health Services, the Records Office, Financial Aid and The Holman Learning Center. Faculty members also provide assistance to student-athletes through advising in course selection and provid-ing additional help with courses when requested.

Athletic Training and Sports Medicine The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine Department has a long his-tory and reputation for excellence in the health care of student-athletes and the education of athletic training students. Founding practitioners Gary Strickland, Ron Venis and Dr. Wally Roeser envisioned a goal of first-class prevention, man-agement and rehabilitation of athletic injuries for all student-athletes. Although the department continues to grow, its primary mission remains the same. The student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics receive comprehensive health care from an expansive sports medicine team. The Eastern Michigan University Sports Medicine staff is led by Dr. Tara Master-Hunter, Dr. Zoe Foster, Dr. David Alvarez, Dr. George Pujalte, Dr. Wally Roeser, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Don Wurtzel and head athletic trainer Steve Nordwall. Ad-ditionally, the staff consists of two primary care sports medicine fellows, three full-time staff athletic trainers, two full-time athletic training clinical educators, five graduate assistant athletic trainers and the team dentist. Our sports medi-cine staff works in conjunction with various medical professionals within the community who provide nutritional, dental, vision and other specialized services for our student-athletes. At Eastern Michigan University, the philosophy of the Sports Medicine staff is two-fold: to provide a high standard of medical care through effective preventive and management programs, and to facilitate an effective post-injury rehabilita-tion process for a safe return to competition. In all cases, the ultimate well-being of each student-athlete is considered our number one priority, not only while they compete at Eastern Michigan University, but during their lifetime as well. The Sports Medicine staff operates out of three campus athletic training facili-ties in the Convocation Center, Bowen Field House and the Rynearson Stadium team building.

Sports Performance/Strength and Conditioning The main focus of the EMU strength and conditioning program is to develop the complete student-athlete. Everything that is incorporated into the training program relates to success on the court. The program is not just about lifting weights, but rather the development of all aspects of athletic performance. These areas include speed, strength, quick-ness, agility, flexibility, explosion, sports nutrition and mental toughness. One of the main objectives of the program is to improve the players’ agility and speed. The goal is to develop stronger and more physical student-athletes without losing speed or flexibility. With that in mind, our staff focuses on improving strength in the “Power Zone.” Abdominal, lower back and hip strength are crucial for an athlete’s success. Increasing strength in these areas decreases the chance and severity of injury and assists in strength and power development. EMU athletes are pushed as much as possible to prepare for competition. The athletes are challenged through physically demanding and intense workouts year-round. The athletes are also challenged during each workout with some type of mental toughness/physical challenge. We train not only the physical side of the student-athlete, but also the mental and competitive side. While everyone lifts weights during the year, EMU Eagle student-athletes will also condition. This places us as one of the best conditioned teams in the country each year. Our goal is simple: Be the best conditioned/most physical team in the coun-try. A highly motivated athlete is a program’s most valuable asset. Everyone in the country works on developing their athletes from the neck down, but at EMU, our program strives for excellence both mentally and physically. Our staff works to develop long-term and short-term goals for success. We work closely with the athletes so we know exactly what they are doing and what they need to do to improve. Developing athletes is a year-round task for our strength staff. During the year, the athletes will spend almost as much time in the weight room as they do on the court. Strength and Conditioning at EMU is a full-time commitment. There is no such thing as part-time champions. EMU athletes work hard but have fun. The camaraderie and work ethic developed in the weight room carry onto the field.

Eastern Eagles Fight Song

“Eastern Eagles, hats off to you!Fight, fight, fight for ole EMU.Look to the sky, the Eagles will fly,the bravest we’ll defy.... Rah,rah, rah!”

“Hold that line for ole Green and White.Sons and daughters show your might.So, FIGHT, FIGHT! for ole EMU and vic-tor-y!”

EMU Alma Mater

Eastern, sacred Alma Mater to your name we shall be true.Ever marching on to victory, we’ll stand by to see you through,Softly floating on the breeze, verdant green with white of snow,This our banner we will carry in our hearts whe’er we go.

Go Green

Go Green, roll up the score.Go Green, let’s get some more.Raise a cheer for old Green and White.Let’s show them we came here to fight.Go Green, vic’try we’ll claim.Go Green, let’s win this game.We’ll always fight for old EMU.Come on and let’s go Green!

Since the 1991 season, Eastern Michigan University athletic teams have gone by the nickname “Eagles.” The Eagles name was officially adopted on May 22, 1991, when the EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the existing Huron nickname and logo with the new one. EMU originally went by the nicknames “Normalites,” “Men from Ypsi” and various other titles through the years before “Hurons” was adopted in 1929. The “Hurons” first came into being as the re-sult of a contest sponsored by the Men’s Union in 1929. On Oct. 31 of that year, a three-person committee, composed of Dr. Clyde Ford, Dr. Elmer Lyman and Professor Bert Peet, selected the name “Hurons” from the many entries in the contest. The name was submitted by two students, Gretchen Borst and George Hanner. Hanner was working at the Huron Hotel at the time of the contest and was no doubt as much influenced by his place of employment as by the Huron Indian tribe. The runner-up name in that contest was Pioneers. EMU began investigating the appropriate-ness of its Huron Indian logo after the Michigan Department of Civil Rights issued a report in October 1988 suggesting that all schools using such logos drop them. The report indicated that the use of Native American names, logos and mascots for athletic teams promoted racial stereotypes. At that time, four colleges, 62 high schools and 33 junior high/middle schools in Michigan used Indian logos or names. The EMU Board of Regents voted to replace the Huron name with Eagles, taken from three recommendations from a committee charged with supplying a new nickname. The other two final names submitted were Green Hornets and Express.

YPSILANTI, Mich. (EMUEagles.com) -- Eastern Michigan University’s Indoor Athletic Practice Facility, also known as “The Bubble,” is paying dividends for the University, the community and EMU athletics in its first year of operation. “I think the facility has been invaluable,” said Derrick Gragg, Eastern Michigan University’s athletic director. “It is the first time in EMU athletic history that our football team has been able to do conditioning and practice in the winter months without interruption. We also have seen improvement in our baseball and softball programs, and the practice facility has had something to do with that. This facility should help re-duce the competitive advantages that other programs have had in the past and is helping EMU catch up to other schools.” “Everything has gone very smoothly,” said Mark Monahan, director of the EMU Convocation Center, which oversees the indoor practice fa-cility. “Since January, it has been booked all the time. We have had a ton of youth sports use it.” The indoor practice facility, which cost $3.9 million to build, was in-flated during February 2010. The facility is a permanent air-supported structure that is 410 feet long, 210 feet wide, and 75 feet tall; and in-cludes a welcome center (1,100 square feet) and convertible space (86,000 square feet) that can be configured for a football field, an in-ternational soccer field, four youth soccer fields or two youth baseball/softball fields. A full-time supervisor and students staff the facility. The facility, lo-cated at 150 Westview Drive, is open Monday-Friday, from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Youth soccer, Little League baseball, high school football teams, EMU club sports, recreational groups and six intercollegiate teams have used the facility since it opened last year, said Monahan. The six intercolle-giate sports that use the facility are football, baseball, softball, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s golf. “It has had a huge impact,” said Karen Baird, EMU head softball coach. “As soon as we played our first game, you could see a difference.” One of the advantages, according to Baird, is players get a much more realistic experience in the facility than where they were practic-ing before, in Bowen Field House. “It’s a facility that allows you to play a game in a much more regular sense,” Baird said. “It gives a truer sense of playing on a regular surface.” The softball team finished the 2011 season with the second highest winning percentage in EMU softball history, going 26-18. “It’s been fantastic for our league,” said Dave York, soccer manager for Total Sports Complex. “We are able to incorporate more Ann Arbor-based clubs so they don’t have to drive so far to play.” Total Sports Complex runs youth soccer programs — that includes approximately 700 players — in southeastern Michigan and Ohio. Monahan said there has been one challenge for the facility.

“Parking has been an issue because business is so good,” he said. The facility has 100 spaces, but the volume associated with its use has led Monahan to request additional parking. Currently, Monahan said that a shuttle service to and from additional parking at Westview has helped offset the situation. “We need about 50 more spaces,” said Monahan. He said there is a proposal to add additional spaces on a hill near the existing spaces. Monahan said the facility had netted $325,000 in user fees as of March and is “in the black.” However, he said some utility billing issues are still being worked out so determining a profit margin is difficult at this point. “I think it was a great decision by the University,” said Monahan of building the facility. “The community seems pleased. It has been won-derful for the University and it is paying for itself.”
