SEASON PREVIEWAppalachian State University volleyball will embark on its second season in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference. The Mountaineers ended last season with a 21-10 overall record and 11-9 mark with in the Sun Belt in their inaugural campaign. Of those 21 victories a season ago, the Mountaineers rallied off 13-straight to open the season, including an impressive 3-1 win over No. 24 Louisville at the Cardinals’ tournament.

The Mountaineers are no longer surprises in the Sun Belt as the coaches picked Appalachian to finish fourth in the league this year, opposed to seventh last season. Both Paige Brown and Emily Corrigan earned preseason first-team all-Sun Belt honors, with Brown also earning preseason Setter of the Year.

“Congrats to Paige and Emily for being named to the Preseason All-Conference team. They’ve worked hard to have a great senior year and are really pushing this team to win a championship,” said head coach Matt Ginipro. “I think it will be another challenging year in the Sun Belt and we’re looking forward to finally having another team across the net to see the results of our productive preseason.”

App State opens the season at Clemson at the Big Orange Bash. The team’s first match will be against Charleston Southern at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, August 28.

THE RETURNERSThe Mountaineers will return nine student-athletes from the 2014 season, including first-team all-Sun Belt selections - Paige Brown and Emily Corrigan. Brown earned Sun Belt Setter of the Year for her efforts last season.

Brown drove the Mountaineers’ bus on offense a season ago - starting all 31 matches and ranking first on the team in a career-high total assists (1,324) and career-high assists per set (11.70). Brown posted 30 assists or more in 28 matches, including back-to-back 60 assist matches against UL Monroe (10/19) and at Arkansas State (10/24). She earned Sun Belt Setter of the Week six times en route to the postseason honor. Brown led the country in assists for four consecutive weeks (9/14-10/15).

On the outside, Corrigan also started all 31 matches en route to leading the offense with 496 kills - good for ninth in program history. She also ranked first on the team with 4.39 kills per set and was ranked as high as fourth in the nation last year in that category (9/21). Corrigan earned Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week three times during the season.

Also returning on the outside for Ginipro’s squad is outside hitter Jess Keller and the Mountaineers key defensive specialist and libero, Meghan Mahoney. Keller made eight starts, while appearing in all 31 matches for the Black and Gold last season. She finished second on the team behind Corriga in total kills (369) and kills per set (3.39). Mahoney played in every single set of the 2014 season on her way to 487 total digs to lead the team. She averaged a team-high 4.31 digs per set and totaled a season-high 28 against UL Monroe (10/19), while notching double-

digit digs in 28 matches.

The Mountaineers also are returning junior outside hitter Sloan Evans, sophomore libero/defensive specialist Olivia Loeffler, junior Olivia Reed and junior Kati Stammen and sophomore middle blocker Cassidy Stephenson.

THE NEWCOMERSThe Mountaineers gained two freshman for the 2014 campaign, including middle blocker Cassidy Stephenson and libero/defensive specialist Olivia Loeffler.

Stephenson hails from Wilmington, N.C. where she attended Hoggard High School. Despite orginally committing to play soccer at UNC, Stephenson changed her mind and decided volleyball was the sport she wanted to continue to play. The 6-1 player led Hoggard to a conference championship with 197 kills, 51 blocks and a hitting percentage over .400. She was named All-Area three times and Mideastern Conference Player of the Year in 2013.

Loeffler joins the Mountaineers after prepping at North Lincoln High in Lincolnton, N.C. Leoffler has been named the team MVP twice, all-conference twice and the Denver Weekly’s Player of the Year in 2013 and 2012. She helped lead her team to a conference championship during her junior season while also being named to Lake Norman’s all-tournament team twice.

The Mountaineer coaching staff brought in nine new student-athletes for the 2015 campaign over the off-season. Highlighing that bunch for the Mountaineers is junior transfer Ashton Gregory. A transfer from Furman University, Gregory spent the past two seasons dominating the Southern Conference. As a freshman, she was named SoCon Freshman of the Year and only turned it up as a sophomore.

SEASON PREVIEWGregory started all 29 matches a year ago, averaging 3.39 kills per set and posting a .376 hitting percentage. She led the team in blocks per set with 1.27, including 44 solo touches, ranking second in the NCAA. She was named SoCon Player of the Year for her play during the 2014 season and was tabbed as an All-American Honorable Mention award recipient.

Freshman Brooke Royals comes to Boone after leading her high school (Steinbrenner HS in Tampa, Fla.) in assists for three-straight years and leading her team to two state semifinals, two regional championships and four district championships.

The Mountaineers have also added transfers’ Courtney Sullivan (UNCG) and Vera Horstmann (Northwest College), as well as, freshmen Savana Gandy, Eden Hilbert, Melissa McMath, Alana Shoff and Jenna Talbert.

THE COACHESThe Mountaineers return nine student-athletes, while doubling that number in terms of newcomers. Appalachian State returns Matt Ginipro for his ninth season at the helm of Mountaineer volleyball, as well as, associate head coach Chad Willis for his third campaign for the Black and Gold.

In his ninth year, Ginipro led the program to the most wins under his tutelege (21) and an 11-9 mark in the program’s first season in the Sun Belt Conference. In 2014, the Mountaineers opened the season on a 13-game winning streak, including a 3-1 victory over a then No. 24 nationall ranked Louisville Cardinal program. Ginipro now holds a 126-125 overall record as the head coach at Appalachian and saw three players earn all-conference honors a season ago. Paige Brown earned first-team honors, while also being awarded with Sun Belt Setter of the Year. Both Emily Corrigan (first-team) and Lauren Gray (second-team) were recognized by the coaches.

Chad Willis is set to begin his third year in the High Country as Ginipro’s associate head coach. Willis, primarily in charge of leading the setters and coordinating the Mountaineers’ offense, helped Paige Brown top her career-high assist total (1,324) and assists per set total (11.70) en route to her postseason Setter of the Year honor.

Willis also serves as the program’s recruiting coordinator. The 2015 Mountaineer recruiting class was tabbed by PrepVolleyball as an honorable mention for the nation’s top class.

With Anna Wagner accepting the head coaching position at Brevard College over the summer, it left a void for Ginipro to fill. He found the perfect fit and added Amber Miehlke to the staff as an assistant coach. Miehlke comes to Boone from Oakland University where she was a standout player from 2009-12. She was a volunteer assistant for the Golden Grizzlies in 2014 and helped them to a 22-10 overall record, the program’s first 20-win season, as well as, Horizon League regular season and tournament championships.

Also new to the bench this season is volunteer assistant coach, Efrain Negron. After spending one season in the same role at Western Texas, Negron makes his way back to western Carolina. Negron was a four-year starter at the libero position on the men’s team at nearby Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C. He was a three-time all-conference player, while also being the all-time leader in program history for digs and digs per set. He traveled to Hawaii and Japan to compete in the 24th Asian Pacific Cup as member of the USA volleyball team.

THE SCHEDULEAppalachian 2015 schedule features 13 home matches and 16 regular-season conference matches. The Mountaineers kick off their season at Clemson for the Big Orange Bash that features matchups with Charleston Southern (Aug. 28), UNCW (Aug. 29) and host Clemson (Aug. 29). The following weekend, the Mountaineers will compete at the Fairfield Inn and Suites Cavalier Classic hosted by Virginia. App State will play Iowa State (Sept. 4), Virginia (Sept. 5) and VCU (Sept. 5).

In between both of those tournaments, the Mountaineers will host its first home match of the season against Gardner-Webb at the Holmes Center on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 6:30 p.m. Following the tournament in Charlottesville, Va., App State hosts its own - the Appalachian Invitational. The Black and Gold will face-off against Missouri (Sept. 11), Liberty (Sept. 12) and Charlotte (Sept. 12). The Apps will close out non-conference play with a match against former Southern Conference foe Western Carolina on Sept. 15 from the Holmes Center at 6:30 p.m.

Ginipro’s squad will open up conference play on the road in the state of Alabama with matches at Troy (Sept. 18) and South Alabama (Sept. 19). They return home for a single match against Texas State (Sept. 26) before heading down to the Bayou to challenge UL Monroe (Oct. 2) and UL Lafayette (Oct. 3).

App State will have their first of two eight-plus day home stands beginning on Oct. 9 when they host Little Rock - followed by UT Arlington (Oct. 10) and Georgia State (Oct. 17). The Mountaineers make their trip to Georgia beginning on Oct. 23 against Georgia State and then at Georgia Southern (Oct. 24).

The Apps return home for four-straight against UL Lafayette the night before Halloween (Oct. 30), South Alabama (Nov. 1), Georgia Southern (Nov. 6) and Arkansas State (Nov. 8).

SEASON PREVIEW

MEET THE COACHES

Matt Ginipro became the eighth volleyball head coach in Appalachian State University volleyball history on June 2, 2007 and has seen a vast amount of success in his first eight seasons in the High Country, including a successful transition to the Sun Belt Conference in 2014.

During his tenure with the Mountaineers, he has posted 126 victories, including 60 in Southern Conference play and 11 in the inaugural Sun Belt Conference slate – Ginipro has won the fourth-highest number of

matches in Appalachian State coaching history.

The 2014 season was an historic one for the Mountaineers. App state opened the season with 13 consecutive victories, including a top-25 win over a 24th ranked Louisville Cardinal opponent en route to a tournament win at Louisville. Appalachian finished 21-10 overall, it’s best finish under Ginipro, while also finished 11-9 in the Sun Belt Conference. Setter Paige Brown won Sun Belt Setter of the Year after earning Setter of the Week six times. Emily Corrigan earned a first-team all-conference nod after leading the Apps in kills and earning Offensive Player of the Week three times.

The Mountaineers have reached the semifinals of the SoCon Tournament three times during Ginipro’s tenure, most recently in 2013 when the squad finished 19--13 and 9-7 in league play. He has coached seven players to all-SoCon honors and saw one of his student-athletes, Brittany Zahn, named as the 2007 SoCon Player of the Year.

In just his first year at the helm, Ginipro earned SoCon Coach of the Year honors for guiding his squad to a 14-4 league record and an appearance in the semifinal round of the 2007 SoCon Tournament.

During his time in the High Country, Ginipro has seen two of his players set school records. Dianna Thomas ended her career as Appalachian’s all-time kills leader in 2007 while Courtney Rhein broke the school record for digs during the 2012 season.

His program’s efforts have not gone unnoticed on the recruiting trail either, as his 2010, 2011 and 2013 recruiting classes were ranked among one of the nation’s best, earning an honorable mention among top recruiting classes in the country from PrepVolleyball.com.

In addition to his team’s success on the court, Ginipro’s squads have been highly successful in the classroom. During his tenure, Ginipro has seen two players (Dianna Thomas and Maggie Seeds) earn first-team Capital One/CoSIDA academic all-district honors.

In March of 2007, he was promoted to associate head coach at UVa. At Virginia, Ginipro was responsible for coaching the Cavaliers’ setters and outside hitters and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. During his six seasons at UVa., the team went a combined 105-82 and posted 19-plus win seasons in his final four years. His 2006 squad finished second in the ACC with a school-record 16 conference wins at 16-6 and posted a 23-8 overall record as Ginipro’s 2007 recruiting class earned Highest Honorable Mention ranking from PrepVolleyball.com.

Ginipro joined the Virginia coaching staff in May of 2001 after serving as an assistant coach at the University of Mississippi during the 2000 season. At Mississippi, Ginipro was responsible for coaching the outside hitters and primary passers, as well as serving as the recruiting

coordinator. He helped Ole Miss earn one of eight spots in the SEC tournament after the team won only one conference match during the 1999 season.

Prior to coaching at Ole Miss, Ginipro spent four years as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech, serving as the first assistant coach for the 1997, 1998 and 1999 seasons. His duties included coaching the setters, right-side hitters, recruiting and coordinating the team’s offense.

Ginipro graduated from Virginia Tech in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a minor in sociology. He earned a master’s in counselor education from Radford in 1996. Ginipro was a member of Virginia Tech’s men’s club volleyball team and served as captain and coach for three seasons. He helped lead the Hokies to the 1992 and 1993 Collegiate Club Championships as the starting setter.

A native of Smithtown, N.Y., Ginipro is married to the former Roxanne Furey of Blacksburg, Va. The couple has two children, Kirsten Nicole and Nicholas Kyle.

Savana Gandy will attend App State in the Fall of 2015 after prepping at the Cannon School. Gandy was named the team’s Most Valuable Defensive Player during her freshman, sophomore and junior seasons and has been team captain the past two years. Gandy averaged 5.2 digs per set during her junior campaign and played club ball for the Carolina Union.

Ginipro’s Comments: “I first met Savana when I was doing a defensive clinic at her club just this past summer. She had great technique, went after every ball, and was extremely coachable which is why I let her know that I wanted her to come to App. Savana will add a ton to our already very strong ball control group.”

Ashton Gregory will attend Appalachian in the fall after spending the past two seasons at former Southern Conference opponent Furman. Gregory started all 28 matches as a freshman and was named SoCon Freshman of the Year and to the SoCon All-Freshmen team. As a sophomore Gregory started all 29 matches, averaging 3.39 kills per set and posting a .376 hitting percentage. She led the team in blocks per set with 1.27, including 44 solo touches, ranking her second in the NCAA. Gregory was named SoCon Player of the Year for her play during the 2014 season and was tabbed as an All-American Honorable Mention award recipient.

Ginipro’s Comments: “When you get to bring in a player who was Freshman of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, and an Honorable Mention All-American, it’s just a great day. We got to recruit Ashton twice and I’m glad we are finally getting her in a black & gold jersey. She has the potential to be an impact player for us immediately and I’m ecstatic that she will be a Mountaineer.

Vera Horstmann arrives in Boone after spending two seasons at Northwest College, a junior college in Powell, Wyoming. While at Northwest, Horstmann was named to the All-Region Team and All-Tournament Team, while earning second-team All-Conference honors in 2013. This past season, Horstmann tabbed NJCAA National All-Tournament Team honors as her team made it to the final four of the NJCAA National Championships before falling to Miami Dade.

Ginipro’s Comments: “When we moved Jess Keller to the left side, it left us without a scoring right side hitter. Vera will step into that position for us. She’s coming from a junior college team that finished fourth in the NJCAA National Championships so I’m looking forward to what she will bring to the gym in terms of work ethic and competitiveness. When she committed, she was already talking about winning a championship and you can’t ask for anything more from an incoming player.”

Ginipro’s Comments: “With Lauren Gray graduating, we were in need of finding a scoring middle hitter. I believe Courtney can fill that role for us. She is very good off one foot and will fit in our offensive system right away. I’m excited to get her in the gym this summer and see what she can do.”

HALL OF FAME

Traci Blankenship became the only Mountaineer volleyball player to have her uniform No. 9 retired on November 4, 1985. The recognition is a special one at Appalachian, as Blankenship is one of only five student-athletes in App State history to have their number retired. A standout player, she garnered all-Southern Conference acclaim all four seasons. She received first-team all-league plaudits her final three campaigns, and was an all-SoCon Tournament selection all four years. Blankenship was named Southern Conference Player-of-the-Year in 1982, ‘83 and ‘85. She was the Mountaineers’ team MVP as a junior and senior and the Appalachian State Athlete-of-the-Year for the 1984-85 academic year. She earned USVBA Regionals Most Valuable Player accolades in 1984.

A fine all-around player Blankenship set school single-season records in digs and service aces. She still ranks among the program’s all-time top leaders in several categories including an Appalachian record 937 career digs. A handful of years beyond her final match, Blankenship’s impressive career continued to collect her plaudits. Following the 1989 season she was named to both the App State all-Decade team as well as to the Southern Conference all-decade team. She served as a team captain from her sophomore through her senior campaign. Noted to be a fine setter and attacker during her four-year career, the Mountaineers posted an 89-34 record with Blankenship on the court. Her junior season the Mountaineers dominated the league, winning both the regular season and tournament crowns. Blankenship graduated in 1986, but remained a part of the volleyball program as assistant coach. In her first season on the bench, App State suffered only one league blemish during the regular season and earned the conference title. She was elevated to head coach of the Mountaineers the following year. From 1987 to 1991 Blankenship guided the Mountaineers

to a 79-76 mark. A patient teacher of the game, in only her second season at the helm, Blankenship was chosen Southern Conference Coach-of-the-Year. In 1989, her team ranked No. 6 in the nation in service aces (3.01 per game). The following year the Mountaineers returned to the top of the league, by winning the regular season championship. The squad came one game away from the conference tournament the same season. 1991 saw Appalachian claim the Southern Conference tournament championship and make its first-ever national post-season appearance in the NIVC tournament.

Traci Blankenship concluded her career at Appalachian following the 1991 season. She finished with a record of 79-72 as head coach of the Mountaineers. Her legacy of excellence continued on following her departure from her alma mater. The program won three regular-season and two tournament championships over the next four years. On September 5, 1998, Blankenship was one of three inducted in to the Appalachian State Athletic Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame presented the plaudit before a crowd of more than 13,000 at Kidd Brewer Stadium.

Blankenship spoke at the Southern Conference Women’s 25th Anniversary Banquet at the 2008 SoCon basketball tournament.

As Appalachian’s head coach, Traci Blankenship (center) led the Mountaineers to the 1990 SoCon regular-season title, the 1991 SoCon Tournament championship and the program's first-ever national post-season appearance.

SUN BELT

The Sun Belt Conference mantra “Together We Rise” exemplifies what has quickly become America’s most up-and-coming collegiate athletics conference.

Founded in 1976, the Sun Belt has adapted and evolved in its nearly 40 year existence. The league was originally formed as a home for some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams and it wasn’t until a number of changes and the demand for a higher national profile that the league began sponsoring football in 2001. Because of this decision to move the league in to the group of football playing conferences, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics.

With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA.

With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the 2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl.

The influx of bowl game opportunities comes at a time when the Sun Belt Conference is breaking win records year after year and the league is continually exceeding expectations.

The Sun Belt’s 21 non-conference football wins in the 2013 season was a new record for the league - eclipsing the mark of 19 set the year prior. Additionally of note for the league’s non-conference win total was that the Sun Belt fared well against its peer opponents in the non-AQ BCS ranks. The Sun Belt finished a combined 8-1 against members of Conference-USA (4-1), the Mid-American Conference (3-0) and the Mountain West Conference (1-0). The Sun Belt also had the best overall non-conference win percentage when comparing the four non-AQ conferences.

The 2013 football season also saw two teams take home bowl championship trophies, as UL Lafayette won its third consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Arkansas State won its second consecutive GoDaddy Bowl.

Of course, football wasn’t the only sport that has seen recent success and all of the league’s sports have contributed to the “Rise” of the Sun Belt Conference.

In men’s basketball, league newcomer Georgia State put together one of the best conference performances in league history in winning the 2013-14 Sun Belt regular season championship. UL Lafayette captured the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in what was one of the most thrilling finishes to the Sun Belt championship game in recent memory.

An influx of young coaches mixed with proven veterans makes both Sun Belt men’s and women’s basketball an exciting brand with vast potential.

The Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships were played in the hometown of the Sun Belt at Lakefront Arena this past March in what was the first of a three year deal that will have Sun Belt hoops in the “Big Easy” each March.

SUN BELT/COMMISIONER KARL BENSON

Baseball and softball continue to be among the league’s standard-bearers for success as each continues to send teams on deep postseason runs and teams are easy to find in the national polls.

In baseball, UL Lafayette held a unanimous No. 1 national ranking during the 2014 season and hosted an NCAA Tournament Regional and Super Regional. Not to be outdone, the UL Lafayette softball team also hosted the NCAA Tournament rounds and qualified for the 2014 edition of the Women’s College World Series.

In recent years as many as four Sun Belt teams have advanced to the baseball postseason in a single year, while as many as three Sun Belt softball teams have accomplished that feat.

While the accomplishments of the Sun Belt’s student-athletes and coaches deserve great praise, so to do the league’s administrators who have helped set the tone for the future of the conference.

“We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” former Sun Belt Conference President and Troy University Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. said recently. “I truly believe that the best is yet to come.”

The Sun Belt Conference’s membership consists of 11 football members for 2014 – Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. UALR and UT Arlington compete in all-sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football only members.

Prominent Sun Belt alumni include Lyndon B. Johnson, former President of the United States (Texas State), former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (UL Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (UL Monroe), CEO of Duck Commander and Buck Commander Willie Robertson (UL Monroe) and DeMarcus Ware, an All-Pro NFL linebacker (Troy).

Karl Benson was named the fifth commissioner of the Sun Belt Conference on Thursday, February 16, 2012 and officially began his tenure on March 15, 2012. Under Benson’s leadership, the Sun Belt has added five new full-time members — Appalachian State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Texas-Arlington and Texas State — and two football-only partners — Idaho and New Mexico State — to give the league a strong membership of 11 full-time members and 11 football-playing institutions. A respected leader in the college athletics community, Benson has served as the President of the NCAA Football Board of Directors and on the NCAA Management Council and the NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee from 2002-06.

Benson came to the Sun Belt after serving as the commissioner of the Western Athletic Conference since 1994. During his time at the WAC, Benson developed numerous multi-year agreements with postseason football games, including the Holiday Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Las Vegas Bowl, Silicon Valley Football Classic, GMAC Bowl, New Mexico Bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl, Sheraton Hawai’i Bowl, Poinsettia Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. Under Benson’s leadership, the WAC achieved noted success by sending multiple teams to Bowl Championship Series (BCS) games as well as having sent a total of 38 teams to bowl games since 2001. In men’s basketball, the WAC has sent at least two teams to the NCAA Tournament in 24 of the past 28 seasons. Prior to his time at the WAC, Benson served as the commissioner of the Mid-American Conference for four years. There, he implemented several innovative projects and was instrumental in the formation of the Las Vegas Bowl. Prior to taking the reins of the MAC, Benson served on the NCAA staff for more than four years where he was the director of NCAA championships when selected as MAC commissioner. Benson joined the NCAA staff in January 1986, as a compliance representative and was appointed assistant director of championships in June 1987. He was promoted to director of championships in 1988. In that position, Benson actively supervised eight assistant directors in their administration of 68 NCAA championships. A native of the state of Washington, Benson graduated from high school in Pullman in 1970, attended Spokane Falls Community College and then received a bachelor of science degree in physical education from Boise State University in 1975. He has also completed course work toward his master’s degree in athletics administration at the University of Utah. Benson played baseball at both Spokane Falls Community College and Boise State University before serving as the baseball coach at Fort Steilacoom Community College in Tacoma, Wash., for eight years and as the director of athletics at Fort Steilacoom from 1979-84. From 1984-86, he was an assistant baseball coach and an administrative assistant in the athletics department at Utah. He received the Distinguished Alumni Award from Boise State in April of 2006. Benson was born on December 1, 1951 and has one daughter, Jessie, who graduated from the University of Southern California in 2014 after majoring in broadcast journalism in the Annenberg School of Communication.

DOUG GILLINDIRECTOR OF ATHLETICSFIRST YEAR AT APPALACHIAN STATEALMA MATER: SUNY CORTLAND, 1991

Doug Gillin was named director of athletics at Appalachian State University on Feb. 27, 2015. He officially began in the role on April 6, 2015. Gillin, 46, possesses more than two decades of professional experience in collegiate athletics, most recently as deputy director of athletics at the University of Missouri. He spent three years at Missouri and played a prominent role in the Tigers’ transition to the Southeastern Conference. At Mizzou, Gillin was involved in all facets of the athletics department’s financial planning and budget development, was a member of the department’s strategic plan development team and oversaw all external operations, including the Tiger Scholarship Fund development unit, Mizzou Sports Properties, strategic communications and game operations. Most notably, he helped lead the University’s athletics capital campaign and was involved in a $102 million facilities enhancement plan for football, baseball, softball, golf, tennis and track and field. Additionally, he was responsible for all facets of Missouri’s day-to-day operations in the absence of the athletics director, had direct oversight over men’s basketball and was part of a three-person administrative team that oversaw the Tigers’ football program. Prior to his arrival at Missouri in 2012, Gillin spent a decade in North Carolina in various roles with ISP Sports/IMG College, the country’s leading collegiate multimedia, marketing and licensing/brand management company. During his 10-year stint with Winston-Salem-based ISP/IMG, he served as the company’s senior vice president (2002-07), executive vice president/chief sales officer (2007-10) and senior vice president for college properties (2010-12). In those roles, he managed the company’s entire sales force, which included approximately 350 employees and more than 90 university and conference partnerships. Before joining the ISP/IMG corporate headquarters, Gillin spent the first nine years of his athletics career on college campuses. He began as an assistant ticketing/business office director at Lehigh (1993-94) then served as an assistant marketing director at New Mexico (1994-95) and Missouri (1995-97). In 1997, he became the general manager of Mizzou Sports Properties before taking the same position with Syracuse Sports Properties in 1999. The Binghamton, N.Y. native was a four-year letterwinner in ice hockey at SUNY Cortland from 1987-91. He was a two-time team MVP and was selected as the squad’s co-captain in 1990. He graduated from SUNY Cortland in 1991 with a B.S. in physical education (sports management

concentration). He went on to earn a master’s degree in physical education from Ohio University in 1993. GIllin and his wife, Leslie, have three children: daughters Shea and Lia and son Chase.

FACILITIES Appalachian volleyball enters its 15th season in the George M. Holmes Convocation Center. The Holmes Center serves as the home of Mountaineer volleyball, as well as Appalachian’s men’s and women’s basketball and indoor track and field programs. Standing on Rivers Street at Appalachian State University, the 200,840-square foot Holmes Center serves as the cornerstone to the entry to campus and houses App State’s Department of Health, Leisure and Exercise Science. The structure also includes the 8,325-seat Seby Jones Arena, which hosts a number of community and cultural events in addition to Appalachian athletics, including graduation and convocation ceremonies, trade shows and concerts. The facility opened on November 17, 2000 with a celebration followed by a men’s basketball contest between Appalachian and the University of North Carolina. With much anticipation, every seat for the App State-UNC showdown was sold in advance, marking the first pre-gameday sellout in school history for any sporting event.

The athletics ticket office sold the full allotment of tickets for the inaugural contest at the Holmes Center in just 12 minutes. In addition to the state-of-the-art amenities that the Holmes Center has to offer, the atmosphere for Appalachian sporting events remains one of the most spirited in the Southern Conference. The Appalachian student section is a priority at the Holmes Center, as student seating is located at mid-court for both volleyball and basketball. Public service, a cornerstone upon which Appalachian was founded, is the hallmark of the two individuals whose names adorn the university’s convocation center. Former App State Chancellor, Francis T. Borkowski announced that the center would be called the George M. Holmes Convocation Center and its arena the Seby Jones Arena on March 20, 1999. Holmes was a Republican member of the North Carolina House of Representatives, representing the 92nd district (Surry, Iredell and Yadkin counties). He was the senior

co-chair of the North Carolina House of Appropriations Committee. A native of Mount Airy, N.C., Holmes attended Appalachian on a football scholarship from 1950-57. Holmes first entered political office from 1975-76 and served nearly 16 full terms before his death in 2009. He served on the Governor’s Advisory Budget Commission, the Joint Legislative Commission on Governmental Operations and the Joint Legislative

Transportation Oversight Committee. Holmes was instrumental in securing the bulk of the $36.8 million needed to build the convocation center. Jones served as mayor and a council member of Raleigh from 1967-71. He also served on App State’s Board of Trustees for eight years, chairing the Board in 1990-91. His philanthropy, including establishing Appalachian’s Alumni Memorial Scholarship and a scholarship for students from Wake County, has made it

Though the Mountaineers compete exclusively in the Holmes Center, the team often practices in the spacious Varsity Gym on campus as well. Five adjacent courts can be set up on the floor to allow for maximum utilization of practice time. In addition to the SportCourt surface at the HCC, Varsity Gym’s floor also received a facelift in 2008, as a new hardwood surface was installed.

The athletic department as a whole has teamed up to participate in several events around the community, including the annual ‘Celebrity Serve’ which features student-athletes from several Mountaineer athletic teams along with administrators as they serve diners in local Boone restaurants in order to raise money for various charitable organizations. Other community events that the Mountaineers participate in include the Walk for Awareness, a rally to increase awareness and help eliminate incidents of rape and sexual assault in the Appalachian community.

UNIVERSITY

Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who first explored the area in the 1760s. Boone now at-tracts those seeking a breathtaking location, adventure and a quality education. Appalachian is one of the 17 institutions in the University of North Carolina system and offers a challenging learning experience. The university combines a small-town atmosphere with a strong academic reputation. Appalachian’s academics are supported by an accomplished faculty, close, personal interaction between students and faculty, and intimate class sizes that average 26 students. Originally founded as a teachers college, Appalachian now cultivates leaders in business, science, the arts, communication, music, nursing, education and other careers. Innovation and creativity are hallmarks of Appalachian graduates, who are leaders in communities in North Carolina and around the world. Ap-palachian also emphasizes the importance of sustainability and service to com-munities, both locally and globally. Today, Appalachian is a leader in the fields of energy-focused sustainable technology and the health sciences. Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universi-ties in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian’s 410-acre main campus includes 22 academic buildings, a 210,000-square-foot library, 19 residence halls, three dining facilities and 11 recre-ational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City and off-campus programs in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges.

ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE More than 450 student-athletes compete in 20 NCAA Division 1 varsity sports at Appalachian State University, 10 for men and 10 for women. Appalachian was a dominant force in the Southern Conference for more than 40 years before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014 – one of 10 conferences that are members of the Division 1 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Appalachian student-athletes work just as hard in the classroom: • * In May 2015, Appalachian athletics was awarded the Sun Belt’s 2015 Institu-tional Graduation Rate Award for 2013-14. The award is given to the school with the highest Federal Graduation Rate among all current Sun Belt members. • * 101 Appalachian student-athletes were named to the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner’s List in fall 2014, an honor given to student-athletes with a GPA of 3.5 or higher. • * 109 Appalachian student-athletes were named to the Sun Belt’s Academic Honor Roll in fall 2014, an honor given to student-athletes with a GPA of 3.0-3.49. • * 210 student-athletes were awarded academic honors, making Appalachian the school with the most students to do so.

Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its

athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative.

The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its ef-fects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthu-siasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.APPALACHIAN STATE ATHLETICS DIVERSITY STATEMENT Appalachian athletics promotes an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and equitable career opportunities for coaches, administrators and support staff from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.

Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Boone’s accolades include National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Outside magazine’s top 10 “Best Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards,” ”U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” and TripAdvisor’s “Hidden Gems: 13 U.S. Towns That Are Diamonds in the Rough.” Boone is also ranked the 10th safest place in North Carolina by Movoto.com and 19th in SafeWise.com’s “50 Safest Cities in North Carolina,” based on the latest FBI crime report data. Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orches-tra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra.

Our remarkable students, faculty and staff, combined with an engaged community, make this a very special place to live and work. The passion for teaching, learning, innovation, creativity and service is palpable on this campus and each day I am renewed by our community’s dedication to making a difference in the world.”

ABOUT APPALACHIANAppalachian State University prepares students to lead purposeful lives as engaged global citizens who understand their responsibili-

ties in creating a sustainable future for all. The transformational Appalachian experience promotes a spirit of inclusion that brings

people together in inspiring ways to acquire and create knowledge, to grow holistically, to act with passion and determination, and em-brace diversity and difference. Our students become agile learners who think critically, communicate effectively, make local to global

connections, and understand the responsibilities of community en-gagement. We embrace our obligation to help create healthy, just,

and sustainable societies by equipping our students to live with knowledge, compassion, dedication, humility, and dignity.

MORE THAN A LOCATIONAppalachian’s beautiful setting in the Blue Ridge Mountains is more

than a location – it profoundly shapes how our community lives, works and learns together. Our commitment to sustainability is a

tradition, not a trend, and Appalachian is an active steward of North Carolina’s interconnected financial, cultural and natural resources. This commitment shows in many ways, including our tuition rates, textbook rental program, commitment to energy efficiency, eco-

nomic viability and equitable citizenship. Because of this and much more, Appalachian ranks No. 7 out of 592 schools in MyPlan.com’s student rankings for “Overall Satisfaction & Happiness with Choice.”

Dr. Sheri Noren Everts serves as Appalachian’s chancellor. Dr. Darrell Kruger is provost and executive vice chancellor. The university is

governed by the university’s Board of Trustees and the University of North Carolina system’s Board of Governors.
