Formal statistics have evolved slowly in the sport of collegiate volleyball since the sport was sanctioned by the NCAA in 1970. Unfortunately, the accuracy and defi nitions of such statistics kept by member schools was not ensured until 1986. Th e record-keeping for certain categories, for example, set assists and blocking, only has been required in the last 18 years. With due respect to the legends of UCLA Men’s Volleyball, their names are not listed because our records are incomplete. Paul Nihipali, four-time All-American

UCLA’S 18 NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

Kirk Kilgour played on the Bruins’ fi rst two NCAA title teams.

Since 1970, UCLA has won 18 NCAA volleyball titles, all under the direction of coach Al Scates. Among UCLA sports, that total is a school record. Scates leads all collegiate coaches with his 18 NCAA championships in a single sport.Below are capsule summaries of UCLA’s 18 NCAA title teams.

1970 — AT UCLATh e Bruins won the fi rst NCAA champion-ship in Pauley Pavilion by surviving a round-robin tournament and easily sweeping Long Beach State in the fi nal. Th e Bruins’ Dane Holtzman (MVP), and All-Tournament selec-tions Kirk Kilgour and Ed Becker gave coach Al Scates the fi rst of 18 title trophies.

1971 — AT UCLAAgain UCLA played host and repeated as champion. Th e Bruins, despite an easy victory in their fi rst match, survived the tough round-robin pool play format where they were extended to three games twice. In the fi nals, UCLA defeated UC Santa Barbara in fi ve games. Kirk Kilgour ended a brilliant UCLA career by sharing Co-MVP honors with the Gauchos’ Tim Bonynge. Th e Bruins’ Larry Griebenow and Ed Machado were All-Tournament selections.

1972 — AT BALL STATE

Th e Bruins won their third consecutive title as heavy underdogs to San Diego State and UC Santa Barbara at Ball State. Th e Bruins, who received an at-large bid, were routed by SDSU in round robin play, but an upset against UCSB gave them a fi nal match showdown against the Aztecs. SDSU appeared ready for a three-game sweep, winning the fi rst two games, 15-10, 15-9, and opening an 8-3 lead in Game 3. But the Bruins rallied after Scates called a timeout. MVP Dick Irvin and All-Tournament selection John Zajec sparked the comeback.

1974 — AT UC SANTA BARBARA

UC Santa Barbara was the heavy favorite to win at home and easily beat the Bruins in Games 1 and 3 in the title match. With the Gauchos ahead 6-1 in the fi fth game, Scates inserted seldom-used freshman Sabin Perkins, who served six straight points, including three aces, to reverse the momentum and give UCLA its fourth championship in fi ve years. UCLA’s Bob Leonard was named

MVP, and Mike Normand and Jim Menges were named to the All-Tournament squad.

1975 — AT UCLAUC Santa Barbara invaded Pauley Pavilion unbeaten and with the reputation as the best collegiate volleyball team in history. Before more than 8,000 fans, Scates received a great fi nal match performance from MVP John Bekins and fi ne hitting and block-ing from All-Tournament members John Herron and Joe Mica, as well as Chris Irvin, Fred Sturm and Denny Cline.

1976 — AT BALL STATE

Down 15-14 in Game 1 against Pepperdine at Ball State, the Bruins staged another of their patented comebacks after backup setter Steve Suttich made a diving save off what appeared to be the game point. Th e Bruins went on to easily win Games 2 and 3 and their sixth title of the decade.

1979 — AT UCLAAfter a two-year title drought, the Bruins returned to the NCAA Championships on their home court un-beaten and primed to become collegiate volleyball’s fi rst unde-feated team. Despite dropping the first game, 12-15 to USC, Joe Mica sparked the comeback that gave UCLA its historic 31-0 season. Sinjin Smith was voted MVP and Steve Salmons, Peter Eh-rman and Mica were named to the All-Tournament team.

1981 — AT UC SANTA BARBARA

UCLA overcame in-juries to win a fi ve-game match against arch rival USC. Th e Trojans led 5-1 and 9-7 in the fi fth game, but All-Tournament selection Steve Salmons, who spent most of the season rehabilitating his knee, rallied the Bruins this time. MVP Karch Kiraly set brilliantly and Steve Gulnac earned All-Tourna-ment honors. Th e victory avenged the previous year’s four-game loss to USC in the fi nals at Ball State.

1982 — AT PENN STATE

Ranked No. 1 and undefeated, the Bruins entered the NCAA Tournament as heavy favorites. UCLA swept Ohio State in the semifi nals. Th e next night the Bruins downed host Penn State, 15-4, 15-9, 15-7. Kiraly became the fi rst player in collegiate

volleyball history to receive MVP honors two straight years, and Doug Partie, Mark Kinnison and Dave Mochalski were All-Tournament selections.

1983 — AT OHIO STATE

Despite losing three of their fi rst six conference matches, the Bruins rolled to their second straight league title, forcing Pepperdine, which had beaten UCLA in two of three meetings, into the gruel-ing regionals. Th e Waves won the wildcard spot, setting the stage for another UCLA-Pepperdine battle. In the semifi nals, UCLA cruised to a three-game victory over Ohio State, and the Waves obliged by beating Penn State. In the fi nal, UCLA dominated play at the net and limited the Waves to a .099 hitting percent-age. Th e three-game sweep gave coach Al Scates his 10th NCAA title, tying him with John Wooden. Ricci Luyties was voted Most Outstanding Player and Wally Martin, Doug Partie and Steve Gulnac joined him on the All-Tournament Team.

1984 — AT UCLASeveral milestones were achieved during this historic season. In addition to an un-defeated season, the Bruins’ 38 victories were an NCAA men’s volleyball record as well as a school record. Scates guided UCLA to an unprecedented fourth consecutive national championship, his 11th in the 15-year history of the sport, moving him ahead of Wooden. Th e title match drew a record 9,809 spectators, and UCLA’s Ricci Luyties earned Most Outstanding Player honors for the second straight year. Other Bruins named to the All-Tournament Team were seniors Doug Partie and Roger Clark, plus freshman Ozzie Volstad, who would be instrumental in the Bruins’ next title season.

1987 — AT UCLATh e Bruins stormed into the NCAA Tournament with all the advantages: a 25-match winning streak, a No. 1 seeding, two weeks of rest, the country’s best record, the home court crowd and a wealth of tradition. In typical Al Scates fashion, UCLA breezed past Ohio State in the semifi nals, while USC needed fi ve games to outlast a tough Penn State team. A crowd of 8,952, third largest in collegiate volleyball history, cheered as the Bruins swept past their arch rivals in a two-hour, three-game match, 15-11, 15-2, 16-14. UCLA tied its school record for single season victories by fi nishing with a 38-3 record, and senior All-American Ozzie Volstad capped an outstanding career by earning Most Outstand-

ing Player honors. Seniors Jeff Williams and Arne Lamberg also were named to the All-Tournament Team.

1989 — AT UCLATh e Bruins were hosts for the 20th annual tournament, featuring a fi nal match showdown between a veteran coach and his young understudy. Fred Sturm, a member of the Bruins’ 1976 NCAA title team, entered Pauley Pavilion as head coach of Stan-ford, playing in its first title match. In the semifi nals, the Bruins swept Penn State, while the Cardinal got a scare from Ball State before winning in four. In the fi nal, the Bruins jumped off to a quick start and won Games 1 and 2, 15-1, 15-13. Stanford appeared to have regrouped in Game 3 by stomp-ing the Bruins 15-4, but Scates and MVP Matt Sonnichsen hung on to win Game 4, 15-12. Bruins named to the All-Tournament team were Trevor Schirman, who shut down Stanford Olympian Scott Fortune, and seniors Anthony Curci and Matt Whitaker.

1993 — AT UCLAUCLA ended a three-year championship drought by sweeping Ohio State in the semifi nals and upstart Cal State Northridge in the fi nals. Th e Bruins continued several championship streaks: they extended their Pauley Pavilion NCAA post-season winning string to 20 consecutive matches and ran their record in home court NCAA fi nals to 14-0. Scates’ 14th NCAA title inched him closer to the national record. Senior setter Mike Sealy and sophomore quick hitter Jeff Nygaard earned co-Most Outstanding Player honors. Senior Dan Landry and sophomore Kevin Wong also were voted to the NCAA All-Tournament Team. Th e Bruins set a two-match NCAA Tournament record by hitting .463, and Nygaard set a single match championship record by hitting .867 (13-0-15) against Ohio State.

1995 — AT SPRINGFIELD, MATh e championship returned to volleyball’s birthplace and the kingpin of the sport reclaimed its crown. Following the second-place fi nish to Penn State the previous year, UCLA’s four fi fth-year seniors vowed revenge in earnest. UCLA avenged a shocking 3-0 mid-season loss to Ball State by spanking the Cardinals 3-0

in the semifi nals. Revenge also served as the major motivation against Penn State. Th e Bruins swept them in the fi nals to restore order to the collegiate volleyball world. Along the way the Bruins established some impressive records: 34 straight weeks as the nation’s No.1 ranked team, a string of 34 home victories and three consecutive 19-0 MPSF title seasons. Senior Jeff Nygaard won his second straight AVCA and Volleyball Magazine Player of the Year awards, and Stein Metzger, John Speraw and Nygaard were named to the NCAA All-Tournament Team, the latter selected as Most Outstanding Player.

1996 — AT UCLATh e improbable championship proved one of the most exciting and gratifying for coach Al Scates. “Th is one was special because we had to work so hard for it,” said Scates, whose 16th title tied him with former Houston golf coach Dave Williams for the NCAA lead. With four starters gone from the previous season, the Bruins gutted out No.16 in a thrilling fi ve-game, three-hour and twenty-seven minute fi nal against Hawaii, the preseason favorite. Th e victory raised the Bruins’ intimidating post-season

home-court record to 24-0 and improved their overall NCAA playoff record to 43-4. UCLA’s Stein Metzger, the AVCA co-Player of the Year, earned All-Tournament honors along with the Bruins’ Tom Stillwell, who led the country in blocking average.

1998 — AT HAWAII

Th e Bruins saved their best for last in winning for Scates a re-cord-breaking 17th title. After outlasting Lewis University 3-2 in the semifi nals, the fi nal against Pepperdine on a hostile court proved to be a match of veterans vs. inexperience. With fi ve of six starters boasting NCAA championship match experience, the Bruins cruised to a 3-0 victory over the Waves, who claimed just one starter with previous championship experience. Scates saved his best game plan for the fi nal, which produced a Bruin hitting percentage of .454 and nine aces. Adam Naeve, who spiked 23 kills on .629 hitting and added three aces and fi ve blocks, was named Most Outstanding Player. Setter Brandon Taliaferro and outside hitter Fred Robins also were named to the All-Tourna-ment Team.

2000—AT IPFWTh is championship was all about avenging past demons. Th e coaches were determined to eradicate all the bad memories of losing the 1994 championship match to Penn State at IPFW and the players wanted to redeem themselves after losing in the fi rst round of the 1999 league playoff s. Senior setter Brandon Taliaferro guided UCLA to a pair of sweeps over Penn State in the semifi nals and Ohio State in the fi nals. Against OSU, the Bruins hit .459 for the match, served eight aces, and out-blocked the Buckeyes, 12-6. Senior Evan Th atcher led all players with 25 kills (.468). Taliaferro and junior Mark Williams added three aces apiece and sophomore Matt Komer led the team with six blocks. Th e turning point in the match came in Game 3 when senior Ed Ratledge rallied the Bruins from a 13-8 defi cit by serving two points, including an ace. Taliaferro earned Most Outstanding Player honors and seniors Seth Burnham and Th atcher were named to the All-Tournament Team.

UCLA’S VOLLEYBALL HALL OF FAMERS


Denny Cline (45) lettered at UCLA from 1974-76 and was, in Al Scates’ words, “a player who got more produc-tion out of less talent than any I’ve ever coached.” After being cut as a freshman, Cline fought his way into the lineup and the Bruins won three straight NCAA titles.

Cline earned NCAA All-Tournament honors as a senior captain in 1976. He went on to play for the

U.S. National Team that year and graduated from UCLA in 1977 with a 3.6 grade point average in Political Science. During the 1977 season, he served as a graduate assistant coach, and in 1978 Scates elevated him to full-time status. Cline served two stints and eight seasons as an assistant coach. As a player and assistant coach, he was involved in seven of the Bruins’ fi rst 11 NCAA

titles. He coached all three of UCLA’s undefeated teams, played on the Bruins’ second three-peat championship run (1974-76), and coached three-straight national championship teams (1982-84).


Sinjin Smith (22) began his UCLA career in 1976 with an NCAA title and fi nished it by leading the Bruins to their fi rst

undefeated season in 1979, for which he was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player. Smith was a three-time all-conference

player, two-time All-American and led the Bruins to a record of 85-9. Smith earned a spot on the 1980 U.S. Olympic Team, but did not compete when the United States boycotted. He then dedicated the rest of

his athletic career to beach volleyball, where he ruled the sand with partner Randy Stoklos

for more than a decade. Th e pair won a record 114 open beach tournaments together, more than $1.6 million and was responsible for the tremendous popularity of the sport. In 1996 at age 39, Smith and former Bruin Carl Henkel qualifi ed for the Olympic beach competition and

advanced to the semifi nals before losing in an epic battle to eventual gold medalists Karch Kiraly and Kent Steff es. In August 2001, Smith retired from the game at the Manhattan Open, a tournament he had won fi ve times. Today, he serves as an ambassador for the game and administrator for the FIVB.

Doug Partie (20) played alongside Ricci Luyties and formed an unbeatable combination. Th e Bruins won 126 of 133 matches with each of his four seasons resulting in an NCAA title. Partie controlled the net as one of collegiate volleyball’s

most feared blockers—the Bru-ins established blocking records

during his tenure that still stand. He was a three-time all-conference

and All-America selection. On the U.S. National Team, he won a gold

medal in 1988 and a bronze in 1992. He played professionally in the prestigious Italian League for two seasons and earned league all-star recognition. On the four-man pro beach circuit he earned league all-star honors, and in 1995 led Team Sideout to the regular season champion-

ship for which he won MVP honors.

Larry Rundle (43) and Ernie Suwara (54) were All-Americans together on some of the

great UCLA teams of the 1960s before volleyball became an NCAA sport. Suwara

was an Olympian in 1964 before playing at UCLA from 1965-67, and Rundle served as

captain of the U.S. Olympic Team in 1968 after his success with the Bruins from 1965-66.

Rundle, who played for a pair of UCLA conference championship teams, also played on the U.S. Pan American and World Games teams and was a fi ve-time

MVP in the USVBA national championshps from 1966-72. Suwara served as captain of the Bruins in 1967, played for three league championship teams

and the Bruins were 72-8 during his college career. On the sand, Rundle won 13 beach tournaments and Suwara won two.

Ricci Luyties (11) played for the Bruins from 1981-84 and fi nished every season with a national championship ring. During two of those seasons, 1982 and 1984, the Bruins went undefeated. Th ey also won 83 straight home

matches during his career, compiled a record of 126-7 and won three- straight league titles. Individually, Luyties earned All-America honors twice, all-conference honors

three times, and was selected Volleyball Magazine’s Player of the Year and the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player two straight years. He is the only player to receive both of the

aforementioned awards two straight seasons. As a member of the U.S. National Team, he played on the 1988 team that won a gold medal in Seoul. On the pro beach circuit, Luyties won seven tour-

naments, including the 1991 U.S. Championships at Hermosa Beach. Currently, he is the head women’s volleyball coach at the University of Southern Mississippi.

Steve Salmons (29) was a three-time All-American, who was selected the Player of the Year in 1978. In 1979, he played on the fi rst undefeated volleyball team in NCAA

history alongside fellow Hall of Famer Sinjin Smith. In 1981, after rehabilitating an injury during the regular season, he earned NCAA

All-Tournament honors and led the Bruins to their eighth NCAA title. After leaving UCLA, he played for the U.S. National Team with Karch Kiraly until 1986 and helped lead the

United States to the triple crown of international volleyball — the Olympic gold medal in 1984, the World Cup Championship in 1985, and the World Championship title in 1986. As a professional beach player, he was a member of the team that won the 1993 Japan Open. His teams also won 12 tournaments on the Budweiser 4-Man Tour from 1993-97. He earned all-league and Best Middle Blocker honors in 1994.


Kirk Kilgour (13) was the fi rst volleyball player inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame as a charter member in 1984. As a player, Kilgour enjoyed the distinction of play-ing on Al Scates’ fi rst two NCAA championship teams.

A three-time All-American (USVBA and NCAA), Kilgour’s record was 80-5, including a record of 29-1 in 1971 when he was selected as the NCAA Tournament’s co-Most Outstanding Player. After college, he played for several years on the U.S. National Team and in the Italian professional league before a tragic accident in 1976 ended his volleyball career. Kilgour’s accident did not diminish his enthusiasm for the game. He was an assistant coach at Pepperdine when the Waves won the NCAA title in 1985 and served as head coach from 1979-82. He also worked as a volleyball broadcaster for all the major networks and cable out-

lets, working several Olympiads, most recently 1996. In 1977, Dr. Paul Berns and Al Scates organized the Kilgour Cup in his honor, and today the match is the longest-running benefi t of its kind. Kilgour died July 10, 2002 but his legacy continues. Proceeds from the Kilgour Cup benefi t a scholarship in Kilgour’s name for a disabled UCLA student.

Recruited entirely from a videotape, Asbjorn (Ozzie) Volstad (24) became one of the greatest volleyball players in UCLA history. He

arrived on campus from Forde, Norway and quickly earned a starting spot on the three-time defending NCAA championship team in 1984. As a freshman quick hitter, Volstad played on a team that recorded a 38-0 record and captured its fourth consecutive NCAA

title. In his career, he was selected an All-America and all-conference player four times (equalled

only by Karch Kiraly), and led the Bruins to a pair of NCAA titles. In 1987, his senior season, he swept player of the year honors

for Volleyball Magazine, the conference, and the NCAA Tournament as the Bruins boasted

an overall record of 38-3, 18-0 in conference play. He also held the UCLA career records for digs (746), kills (1,237) and blocks (337) for several years. Until the Libero position was created, he held the single season digs record of 308 set in 1986. A standout in the classroom, Volstad earned Academic All-America honors twice and was awarded an NCAA Postgradu-

ate Scholarship for the 1986-87 year.

Considered America’s greatest volleyball player, Karch Kiraly (31) has earned nearly every award imaginable in his sport. In addition to being inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 1993, he

also was inducted into the Volleyball Hall of Fame in Springfi eld, MA, on Oct. 19, 2001. In Dec. 2000, he was voted Male Volleyball

Player of the Century by the FIVB. In 2005, he was inducted into the AVCA Hall of Fame and in January, 2006, he was voted the most infl uential person in the sport’s fi rst 100 years. In 1984 and ’88, he led the U.S. Olympic Team to a pair of volleyball gold medals and

kept the team atop the world rankings for sev-eral years with victories in the World Cup, World

Championships, and USA Cup. He was voted Most Valuable Player in the Olympics, World Cup, and USA Cup as well as the FIVB’s MVP twice. On the sand, Kiraly was a three-time Beach Volleyball World

Champion and won the Olympic gold medal in the inaugural beach volleyball competition in Atlanta. His 148 career open beach victories and his career winnings of more than $3 million rank fi rst on the all-time lists. At UCLA, Kiraly led the Bruins to three NCAA titles, two undefeated seasons, and a record of 126-5. He was a four-time All-American and two-time NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player. In the classroom, he earned Academic All-America honors and the NCAA Top Five Award.

Mike O’Hara, an outstanding outside hitter, was UCLA’s earliest pioneer in the sport and was instrumental in making volleyball a varsity sport at UCLA. In 1953, with Athletic Director Wilbur Johns’ permission, O’Hara’s champi-onship fraternity volleyball team rep-resented UCLA and won the National Collegiate Championship in Omaha, Nebraska. Th e following year, Johns elevated men’s volleyball to varsity status and the Bruins once again captured the national championship. In both seasons, O’Hara was named All-American. After graduating from UCLA, O’Hara played

on the USA National Team in 1959, ‘63 and ‘64. He was a member of the 1959 gold medal team at the Pan Am Games and a member of the 1964 Olympic team. O’Hara also competed in U.S. Volleyball Association national tournaments and was named USVBA MVP in 1961 and ‘63. O’Hara and teammate Mike Bright dominated beach tournaments in the 1960s, winning the fi rst fi ve Manhattan Beach Opens. To this day, O’Hara continues to promote the sport and still actively competes in USA Volleyball tournaments and beach competi-tions, including recently being named MVP in the master’s division of the USVBA Nationals. O’Hara was elected to the USA Volleyball Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Beach Volleyball Hall of Fame in 1996. Additionally, O’Hara was Vice-President of the L.A. Olympic Orga-nizing Committee for the 1984 Olympics, and helped negotiate the location of the Olympic Organizing Committee headquarters, later known as the Peter V. Ueberroth building on campus.

FOURTH YEAR

Petrina Long enters her second year as associate athletic director/senior woman admin-istrator at UCLA, having joined the staff in June 2004. Long supervises several men’s and women’s sports, including men’s and women’s volleyball, as well as several administrative areas. Long came to UCLA from UC Irvine, where she served as senior associate athletic direc-tor/SWA since 1993, working closely with Bruin athletic director Dan Guerrero. She also served as interim athletic director following Guerrero’s departure to UCLA. During her 11 years at UCI, Long supervised several of the university’s 23 sports teams, as well as academic and student support, compliance and sports medicine. In addition, she was active in numerous groups on campus and in the community. Her campus activities included serving on the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics (CACIA), and recently chairing the Diversity Development Program Board for two years. She was a board member of the Irvine Chamber of Commerce for several years and has been a school volunteer in the city of Tustin. Long was a member of the Big West Council and previously chaired the Big West Compliance Committee for two years.

KEY ADMINISTRATORS

In three years as UCLA’s Director of Ath-letics, Daniel G. Guerrero has presided over 11 NCAA team titles, and has the program poised to reach the century mark in 2005-06.

A former Bruin baseball player, Guerrero exudes the pride of a student-athlete who is now calling the shots at his alma mater. Calling his current position his dream job, his goal is to help each sport at UCLA maximize its potential and contend for a national championship.

Guerrero is serving his fi rst year as a member of the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Com-mittee and “Th e College Basketball Partnership,” a group that includes many of the most infl uential people in the sport.

In 2004-05, UCLA won three NCAA team championships — men’s and women’s water polo and men’s tennis. Overall, UCLA leads the nation with 97 NCAA team titles.

In 2002-03, Guerrero earned numerous honors, including: 2002 UCLA Latino Alumnus of the Year (October); 2003 Cal State University Dominguez Hills Alumnus of the Year (March); and 2003 “Father of the Year” by the Father’s Day Council of the American Diabetes Assn. (June). He also became the fi rst athlete in any sport at Banning High School to have his jersey (No. 8 in baseball) retired, and on Sept. 10, 2002, the Los Angeles City Council honored him with Dan Guerrero Day.

In addition, the May 5, 2003 issue of Sports Illustrated listed him No. 28 among the 101 Most Infl uential Minorities in Sports. He was one of 28 people whose photo was on that issue’s cover. He also served as a member of the NCAA Baseball Committee during the 2002-2003 year.

Guerrero came to UCLA from UC Irvine, where he had served as UCI’s fi fth permanent Di-rector of Athletics since December 17, 1992.

Guerrero, 54, received his Bachelor’s degree from UCLA in 1974 and played second base for the Bruins for four years. Born on November 10, 1951 in Tucson, AZ, he is married to the former Anne Marie Aniello and they have two daughters: Jenna and Katie.

Albert Carnesale, who became the eighth chief executive of UCLA in 1997, announced his retirement eff ective June 30, 2006 after a nine-year tenure. Following a one-year sabbatical, he will return to his joint-tenured faculty appointment in UCLA’s Department of Policy Studies and the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. Before joining UCLA, Carnesale was at Harvard University for 23 years. In 1974, he became the Lucius N. Littauer Professor of Public Policy & Administration at Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government. In July 1994, Carnesale was appointed as provost, coordinating Harvard’s central administration, supervising its information technology activities and overseeing academic programs that involved two or more of the University’s schools. Carnesale was born July 2, 1936 in the Bronx, New York. He earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in mechanical engineering at Cooper Union (1957) and Drexel University (1961) and a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering at North Carolina State (1966). In addition, he is a member of Phi Kappa Phi, Sigma Pi Sigma and Sigma Xi honorary societies. In academia, Carnesale was a professor at North Carolina State University from 1962-69 and 1972-74. He began at Harvard in 1974. In addition to teaching and research, he served at the John F. Kennedy School of Government as academic dean from 1981-91, and dean from 1991-1995. He participated in the U.S. delegation to the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT I, 1970-72) and led the U.S. delegation to the International Nuclear Fuel Cycle Evaluation (1978-80), a 66-nation study of the relationship between civilian nuclear power and proliferation of nuclear weapons. Carnesale has written extensively on inter-national aff airs, defense policy, and nuclear energy issues. He was a founding editor of the quarterly journal International Security. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and of the International Institute for Strategic Studies. Dr. Carnesale and his wife, Robin, live in the Chancellor’s residence on campus.
