BISONFACILITIES

Completed in the spring of 1997 at a cost of $2.3 million, the El-lig Sports Complex includes two

soccer fi elds, four softball fi elds, and the Schlanser Track. The complex is named for Renola and Sheldon Ellig, who were driving forces in getting the facility built. The track is named in memory of Fred Schlanser Sr. Seating capacity for soccer is 3,500 at the Ellig Sports Complex, where the NDSU soccer team plays its home games on a natural grass surface. Bleacher seating was transplanted from Dacotah Field, the former home fi eld of the Bison football team. A restroom and concession stand build-ing was completed in 2003 near the northwest corner of the fi eld. The facility has an enclosed press box atop the east grandstand that can hold about 20 media members and game day staff. A separate practice area is available on the west side of the complex.

The Ellig Sports Complex

The Bison hold a 69-23-4 all-time record at home, including a .740 mark at the Ellig Sports Complex where the Bison are 58-22-4 since its 1997 opening. NDSU had its best home campaign in 1996, one year before moving into The Ellig, when it went 8-0 at the Cardinal Muench Seminary grounds in north Fargo. The Bison also posted a perfect home record in 2005 when they went 7-0 at the Ellig Sports Com-plex. The Ellig Sports Complex has also hosted the North Dakota Special Olympics, NCAA softball regionals, and professional soccer exhibitions. The soccer team also has access to the new Dacotah Field, which has been redone with SprinTurf. The fi eld is regulation size and can be used for practices.

The 2009 North Dakota State soccer team brings a lot of experience to the fi eld. The Bison only lost one senior, Nicole Rand, from last year’s squad. The 2009 returnees include sec-ond team All-Summit League senior Lorraine Thompson as well as All-Newcomer picks sophomores Michelle Gaffaney and Danielle Boldenow. In all, 18 letterwinners will be back in action for the Bison. The 2008 season was tough for the Bison as they fi nished with a 5-12-2 record and were decimated by injuries. Junior Abbey Stratton thinks that last season’s experiences should help the Bison. “We worked through a lot of adversity last season. Our young players have an advantage because they played so much as fresh-men,” she said. “We have more confi dence going into this season so the expectation is there to get better results.” Head coach Pete Cuadrado expects his squad to rebound from last season and be competitive this year. “We want to com-pete for a conference championship. The standards have been set high at NDSU.” Seniors Becky Iwanicki and Laura Murphy, along with Stratton were voted team captains by their teammates. Thompson is the only other senior on the roster. “Their leadership will be important this season,” said Cuadra-do. “I expect them to be leaders both on and off the fi eld. The young players earned a lot of experience last year as well and that needs to show.”

FORWARDS Leading the Bison at forward will be Laura Murphy, who makes the transition from defender. Last season, Murphy stepped up her

offensive production, tallying three goals and three assists. “Laura’s got a fan-tastic work ethic and her physical presence really gives her an edge,” said Cuadrado. Joining Murphy up front will be junior Quin Ryan. Ryan con-tributed three goals and two assists for the Bison last season after racking up six goals as a sophomore. “She creates scoring chances with her craftiness,” said Cuadrado. “Quin is a player that other teams need to pay at-tention to.” Sophomore Emily Brostrom will also play up front for the Bison. She scored the game-winning goal against Austin Peay in the 2008 season opener. Her physicality and ability to win balls in the air makes her a threat. A trio of speedy freshmen will also compete for time. Em-ily Mizrahi, out of Cypress, California, is a two-time all-league selection and can use her speed to beat defenders one on one. Brooklyn Dyce of Winnipeg is extremely quick and can fi nish well. She has led her club team to three straight indoor and outdoor titles. Chelsea Reinhardt out of Lakeville, Minn., is a two-time all-conference pick who can strike the ball well and is a very versatile player. Both Dyce and Reinhardt can also play in the midfi eld.

MIDFIELD The midfi eld will be anchored by seniors Becky Iwanicki and Lorraine Thompson. Iwanicki is back in the Bison uniform after missing most of last season with a knee injury. “Becky provides outstanding leadership,” said Cuadrado. “She is a very consistent player and can be like a coach on the fi eld.” Thompson was a second team All-Summit League selection in 2008 after leading the team with six goals and four assists. She also has the potential to play forward this season. “She can shoot well with both feet and is a very versatile player,” said Cuadrado. Junior Candice D’Arcangeli will join the seniors in the mid-fi eld. She tallied three assists in the 2008 campaign. Her endur-ance and work ethic are assets to the team. Fellow junior Marissa Wolfgram will also play in the midfi eld after starting every game last season. Wolfgram brings athleti-cism and endurance to the Bison. After spending much of the 2008 season as a defender, soph-omore Michelle Gaffaney will move to the midfi eld. The Sum-mit League All-Newcomer pick is a smart player that is tactically sound. “She has a great presence in the air,” said Cuadrado. “She’s

Sophomore Danielle Boldenow was a Summit League All-Newcomer selection last season. She is capable of playing forward or midfi eld for the Bison.

2009PREVIEWespecially dangerous on set pieces.” Sophomore Danielle Bold-enow looks to pick up where she left off last season. An All-Newcomer pick, Boldenow can use her excellent vision on the fi eld to deceive defenders. Sophomore Laura Wagner is a technically solid midfi elder that can help settle a game down, while sophomore Morgan DeMike can use her speed to run at defenders. Fellow sophomore Katie Luce continues to improve af-ter joining the squad in the middle of the 2008 season. Freshman Shannon Brooks out of Monrovia, Calif., will also look to make her mark on the team. A two-time all-confer-ence honoree, she was named to the Guatemala Under-20 na-tional team over the summer.

DEFENSE The Bison return the entire defense from the 2008 squad. Junior captain Abbey Stratton will lead the back line. “Abbey always plays with a lot of heart,” said Cuadrado. “She’s a leader on the fi eld and makes sure that things get done the right way.” Sophomore Megan Dean was a starter in every game last year and uses her athleticism to her advantage. “Megan never stops going. She’s more than capable of mark-ing the other team’s best forward,” said Cuadrado. Sophomore Danielle DeMent made the transition from for-ward to defender last season. Her ability to go on the attack from a defensive position is an asset to the Bison. Fellow sophomore Aubrey Bot is a tough defender who can handle the physical game well. Sophomore Kristen Whipple is a strong player, who can use her throw-in as a weapon. After redshirting last season due to a knee injury, sophomore Holly Christian will join the Bison back line.

GOALKEEPERS Sophomore Kalani Bertsch returns for the Bison after play-ing every minute as a freshman last season. She will face tough competition from incoming freshmen Kathy Kelsey and Christie Stemple. Kelsey comes to NDSU after playing for the British Co-lumbia provincial team for six years. Stemple has been part of the Arizona Olympic Development program for fi ve years. “All three of our keepers are incredibly tough competitors,” said Cuadrado. “Each of them brings solid skills to the table and it will be a battle for playing time.”

SCHEDULE In the team’s second year of postseason tournament eligibil-ity, the Bison look to compete in the Summit League tournament for the fi rst time. This year’s schedule features fi ve fi rst-time opponents as well as a pair of games against Big Ten squads.Cuadrado thinks the non-conference slate will prepare the team for the rigors of league play. “We play a tough non-conference schedule. We have a long road stretch in September against some really strong teams and I think that will help get us ready for the league.” The Bison open the regular season with a home game against

Drake on Aug. 21. The team then travels to Waco, Texas, for a tournament to play fi rst-time opponents Baylor and Lamar Aug. 28 and 30. The squad returns to Fargo for a matchup with Creighton on Sept. 1 before embarking on a fi ve-game road trip. The Bison fi rst play at Minnesota on Sept. 6, then head to Wisconsin on Sept. 11 and Green Bay on Sept. 13. The Bison continue the road swing with a trip to Boise for the Soccer Etc./Nike Invitational where they will play host Boise State on Sept. 18 and Portland State on Sept. 20, both for the fi rst time. The team comes back to the Ellig Sports Complex to play host to Mary on Sept. 29 in the fi nal non-conference matchup of the season. Back on the road for the fi rst Summit League games of the year, the Bison travel to Oral Roberts on Oct. 2 and Centenary on Oct. 4. Returning to Fargo, the Bison will host IPFW and Oakland on Oct. 9 and 11, respectively. The team will then travel to league foes IUPUI on Oct. 16 and Western Illinois on Oct. 18. The fi nal home weekend of the year will see the Bison take on Southern Utah on Oct. 23 and league newcomer UMKC on Oct. 25 for senior day. The Bison play at defending league champion South Dakota State to close out the regular season on Oct. 31. The top four teams in the standings will make the league tournament, which will be hosted by South Dakota State Nov. 6-8. “The league is competitive across the board. The league lost a lot of good players to graduation last year, so it will be interest-ing to see who steps up,” said Cuadrado.

Sophomore Michelle Gaffaney (inset) and junior Marissa Wolfgram will contribute to the Bison midfi eld this fall.

THE NDSU EXPERIENCEBISONATHLETES

“I love the team and the commitment we all have to each oth-er and NDSU. We’re very close and we have a lot of fun, while still working hard to represent ourselves and our school in the best way possible.” - Sophomore Danielle DeMent

“I love the thrill of playing for the girls I call family and the school I love. I’m proud to be a Bison!”

- Sophomore Danielle Boldenow

“I chose NDSU be-cause it’s a different environment and a new experience. I was drawn here by the awesome coach-es and players. You can feel the passion they have for soc-cer.” - Freshman Shannon Brooks

“I chose North Dakota State because I want-ed a new experience in a state other than California. The school has a very promis-ing soccer program and good academics. I also loved all the coaches and girls on the team.” - Freshman Emily Mizrahi

“My teammates have become my ‘Fargo fam-ily’. We are all working for the same ultimate goal and get to play the game we love along the way. The coaches, team, staff and school make NDSU home away from home and are making college an un-forgettable and reward-ing time of my life.” - Sophomore Megan Dean

“The community here is about as good as it gets. Whether it’s the coaches, athletic directors, other department staff, fans or my teammates; every-one here is amazing. NDSU has become my new home and one I will never for-get.” - Senior Becky Iwanicki

Bison fi nish seventh in the Summit League North Dakota State fi nished the 2008 season with a 5-12-2 record. In the team’s second season in The Summit League, the Bison went 2-5-1 for seventh place. The Bison opened the season with two straight victories, but struggled through September with only one win. October saw the Bison take two wins out of a pos-sible eight. The squad was plagued by injuries; throughout the course of the season, the Bison lost fi ve players to knee injuries. The 2008 squad was one of the young-est teams in school history. Eleven fresh-men saw the fi eld for the Bison, while three of them became regular starters. The Bison started the season strong, going 2-0 on the road at Austin Peay and Murray State. Junior Lorraine Thompsonearned Summit League Offensive Player of the Week honors for her goal and assist in a 2-1 win over the Racers. A 2-0 road loss to Creighton was espe-cially diffi cult because the team lost senior midfi elder Becky Iwanicki for the year with a knee injury. The Bison opened their home slate against Big Ten foe Minnesota and were shut out for the second straight game, 3-0. The team bounced back with a re-sounding 4-1 win over Mary with Thompson again leading the way with two goals. At the Jackrabbit Invitational, the Bi-

son fell to Iowa State, 4-1, but bounced back to tie high-powered Eastern Washington, 1-1. A tough road swing to Ne-braska and Northern Iowa fol-lowed and the Bison dropped both contests. NDSU contin-ued their travels with a trip to Indiana to begin Summit League action. A 1-1 double-overtime tie with IPFW was followed by a 1-0 loss to IUPUI. The Bison ended September on a six game winless streak, but started October on the right note, earning their fi rst Sum-mit League win of the year against South-ern Utah, 2-0, behind goals from Quin Ryan and Thompson. On a rain-soaked Ellig fi eld, the Bison played host to league opponent Oral Rob-erts. With the game tied in double over-time, the Eagles found the back of the net to steal the 3-2 victory. Despite the heartbreaking loss to Oral Roberts, the Bison had no trouble fi nding the net against Centenary. Seven different players scored, while Thompson had three assists and Candice D’Arcangeli added two. Against Centenary, head coach Pete Cuadrado recorded his 56th victory at North Dakota State, making him the win-ningest coach in the program’s history. The Bison then hosted Seattle in their fi nal non-conference matchup of the year. After falling in a 3-0 hole in the fi rst half, the Bison tallied two second half goals, but could not complete the rally. The fi nal home game of the 2008 sea-

son was against South Dakota State. Lone senior Nicole Rand was honored before the game for her contributions to Bison soccer. The Jacks tallied two second half goals to shut out the Bison. With the loss, the Bison ended the season with a 3-4 re-cord at the Ellig Sports Complex. NDSU went into the fi nal stretch of the season needing victories in its fi nal two games to clinch a spot in the four-team Summit League tournament. First up was a game at Oakland. De-spite Rand putting NDSU on the board fi rst, the Grizzlies came back to score fi ve unan-swered goals to take a 5-1 win. A 3-2 loss to Western Illinois in the season fi nale ensured that the Bison would not make the league tournament with a 2-5-1 league record. Three Bison earned all-league honors. Thompson was named to the All-Summit League second team while freshmen Dani-elle Boldenow and Michelle Gaffaneyboth earned all-newcomer honors. Seven student-athletes were named to the Summit League Commissioner’s List of Academic Excellence, which honors stu-dents that have reached sophomore ath-letic status with a GPA of 3.00 or higher. 15 student-athletes were named to the Summit League Fall All-Academic Team.

Nicole Rand contributed three goals and two as-sists in her fi nal season as a Bison.

Lorraine Thompson led the Bison in points in 2008 and earned All-Summit League second team honors. Candice D’Arcangeli (inset) was second on the team in assists with three.

SUMMITLEAGUE

Now in its 28th year as an NCAA Division I athletics confer-ence, The Summit League continues its renaissance and ascent both on the playing fi eld and in the classroom. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Conti-nent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Confer-ence, The Summit League is in its third year of a rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on im-proving the academic and athletic performances of all league student-athletes. Included in the plan was the league’s new name, the creation of a new image and the addition of three member institutions. The 10 Summit League member institutions include Cente-nary College of Louisiana, IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue Uni-versity Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), North Dakota State University, Oakland University, Oral Roberts Univer-sity, South Dakota State University, Southern Utah University and Western Illinois University. In April 2009, the University of South Dakota accepted an invitation to join the league with full membership during the 2011-12 academic year and will begin as an associate member for swimming and diving in 2009-10. The league has one other associate member, Eastern Illinois University, which competes in swimming and diving. Centenary College will leave the league after the 2010-11 season. These member institutions pride themselves on provid-ing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports, which include: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swim-ming and diving, men’s and women’s indoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s outdoor track and fi eld, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The league champion receives automatic bids to the NCAA tournament in all applicable sports. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcendent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the fi rst round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament on its way to a berth in

The Summit League

the Sweet 16. A decade later, Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA fi rst-round game and spark its Sweet 16 run. More recently, the Oral Roberts baseball program fi nished the 2004 campaign with a national ranking and became the fi rst Summit League school to reach the NCAA Super Regionals in 2006. The league has produced four Olympic athletes, four NCAA champions and several All-Americans in the sports of track and fi eld, swimming and diving and cross country. Numerous professionals and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball fi rst round picks, a pair of NBA fi rst rounders and one WNBA selec-tion. Former Summit Leaguers Kevin Duckworth (NBA) and Kevin Seitzer (MLB) each were two-time all-stars during their profes-sional careers. Recent and historical success coupled with an increased growth among its membership base gives The Summit League a promising future on the landscape of college athletics.

BISONTRAVEL

The North Dakota State soccer team has traveled all over the country.

While playing games against top-fl ight competition, the Bison have also

taken advantage of the time to see the sights. In recent years, the team

has visited Mickey Mouse at Disneyland, walked down Bourbon Street in

New Orleans, hiked the Rocky Mountains, toured the nation’s capital,

strolled the streets of San Francisco and New York City, and much more.

North Dakota State University is a “place of impact” and an institution with both success and momentum, according to Presi-

dent Joseph A. Chapman. With growth to more than 13,200 students and annual research expenditures topping $100 million, NDSU has enjoyed a remarkable period of achievement. Shortly after Chapman’s arrival on campus in 1999, he challenged each college and department to advance to the next level. The results have led to increased educational programs, greater research opportunities and a growing, prospering university. During this extraor-dinary decade, Chapman said NDSU’s growth has meant an additional $1 billion to the state’s economy. There also has been tremendous growth in facilities in recent years, and two downtown Fargo buildings have joined the NDSU community. The former Pioneer Mutual Building is now Richard H. Barry Hall, has been converted into offi ces and classrooms for the College of Business and the Department of Agribusi-ness and Applied Economics. The former Lincoln National Life Building has be-come Klai Hall, and has been renovated into studio space for the Department of Architecture and Landscape Architec-ture. “We are part of a tradition of high quality education, cutting edge research and meaningful service to the people of North Dakota, the nation and the world,” he said during his 2008 State of the Uni-versity Address, noting the Land Grant ideal mandates preparation for society’s changes and NDSU is preparing students for and assisting business with the global marketplace. The state, nation and world can expect more in the years to come. NDSU has used these fi ve themes in its transformation: “It’s About People,” “Students are Paramount,” “Programs,” “Leveraging Support” and “Stature.” Now, Chapman said three qualitative principles are being added: “Inclusive,” “Responsive” and “Excellent.” Looking to the future, President Chapman has outlined several goals. They include: • NDSU will further raise the caliber of its research enterprise. • NDSU will be among the top 15 computer centers in the world, with computing power approaching 100 tera-fl ops. A terafl op is a computing speed equal to one trillion fl oating-point opera-tions per second. • NDSU will continue to be one of the leading agricultural research pro-grams in the world. • NDSU will make advance-ments in the arts, humanities,

health sciences, material science and science, and engineering and mathemat-ics educational programs. • NDSU will become one of the top 100 universities in the number of Na-tional Merit Scholars enrolled. “It is our responsibility to further the excellence of this institution. The people of NDSU are our greatest strength, the reason to be optimistic about continuing our transformational journey,” Chapman said to faculty, staff and students during his 2008 State of the University Address. “People are drawn to success. People are drawn to be part of something meaning-ful. You are our greatest asset and the enduring contribution of NDSU. You are carrying forward the best traditions of the best Land Grant institutions.”

NDSU: yesterday and today The state’s fi rst land-grant university was established as North Dakota Agricul-tural College on March 8, 1890, and or-ganized for educational work on Oct. 15, 1890. President Horace E. Stockbridge and a fi ve-member faculty welcomed the fi rst class of 30 students as they took a winter agricultural course. Old Main, the campus’ landmark building, was com-

pleted in 1892. Renamed in 1960 as North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Ap-plied Science, the institution educates students for a multitude of career op-portunities. The university is comprised of the College of Agriculture, Food Systems and Natural Resources; College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; College of Business; College of Engineer-ing and Architecture; College of Human Development and Education; College of Pharmacy, Nursing and Allied Sciences; College of Science and Mathematics; Col-lege of University Studies; and College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies. NDSU now offers 44 doctoral programs, 59 master’s programs, an educational specialist degree and eight certifi cate programs. Students work closely with NDSU’s chemists, engineers, architects, musi-cians, pharmacists, writers and other respected faculty who frequently are on the leading edge of research in their chosen areas. As of fall 2008, the univer-sity had 740 members of its instructional faculty, including 523 who have achieved the highest degrees in their fi elds.

The NDSU’s primary academic cam-pus includes 42 square blocks and 102 university buildings, 11 non-NDSU build-ings, nine leased buildings and seven leased spaces, with building, personal and outdoor property insured for a total value of $834 million. In all, NDSU is located on 18,746 acres of North Dakota land, which includes the main Agricultural Experiment Station at Fargo. There are 268 Agricul-tural Experiment Station buildings and storage facilities at the main station and eight research extension centers across the state, and 18,488 acres dedicated to agricultural research. Dedicated to outreach efforts, the NDSU Extension Service conducts a rigor-ous education program in agriculture, human development, nutrition and youth and community development through its county, area and state staff. During the fi scal year ending September 2008, the Extension Service’s ambitious 4-H Club activities, day camp and after school programs involved more than 27,170 face-to-face con-tacts with North Da-kota young people. A total of 7,086 youth are active in organized 4-H Clubs. During the same period, the Extension Service had 536,614 face-to-face contacts with adult learners across the state. Members of NCAA Division I, the talented Bison athletic teams have enjoyed a long tradition of excellence. The student-athletes compete in fi rst-class facilities—the Fargodome, Newman Outdoor Field, Ellig Sports Complex and Bison Sports Arena.

An energeticstudent body The NDSU student body is a talented, dedicated and enthusiastic blend of inter-national and ethnic backgrounds. Dur-ing the fall of 2008, undergraduate and graduate students came from all 53 North Dakota counties, 46 other states and the District of Columbia. The university cur-rently has more than 960 international students from 81 countries. NDSU has bilateral student exchange agreements with institutions in Australia, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. There also are memorandums of understanding with other countries such as Belize, China, Malaysia and Thailand. President Chapman lists international

programs as an institu-tional priority, and he is personally spreading the word about NDSU through recent travels to countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Korea and Uganda. NDSU students fi nd it is easy to make friends and get involved with campus life. They can participate in more than 200 stu-dent organizations to develop personal and social relationships, explore new ideas, learn about people from around the world and augment their coursework. The groups focus on academ-ics, special interests, service, performing and visual arts, religion and recreation. There also are intercultural groups, honor societies, fraternities and sororities.

Fargo: a great place to live, work and study The home of NDSU, Fargo is a bus-tling metropolitan area that is often listed as one of the best places to live in the country. Named an All-American City by the National Civic League in 2000, Fargo-Moorhead is the largest community between Minneapolis and Seattle. About 187,000 people make their home in Cass and Clay Counties. Accolades for the community come from a variety of sources. For instance, Forbes.com listed NDSU and Fargo as

number fi ve in an article called “Top Col-lege Towns for Jobs.” The research used U.S. metropolitan statistical area data and examined job growth using data from Moody’s Economy.com. A report from the American Lung Association names Fargo-Moorhead as the best city for ozone pollution, short-term particle pollution and long-term particle pollution. Fargo-Moorhead has topped a list of 72 areas studied by Earth Day Network and ranked for environmental health. Researchers looked at more than 200 indi-cators, with Fargo the best in air quality, drinking and surface water, and toxins and waste. In addition, the Fargo-Moorhead com-munity ranked number 15 on the “Best U.S. Cities for Job Growth” published on NewGeography.com.

A campus committed to the future Advances have come and continue on many fronts across the university, and the people of NDSU are optimistically looking to the challenges and opportunities of the future. The university has transformed, moved to the next level and its stature has increased among the nation’s land-grant universities. “NDSU has become the clear fi rst choice of students seeking a higher educa-tion in North Dakota. We have seen steady enrollment growth for the last 10 years. This will continue for the foreseeable fu-ture,” President Chapman said. “We have success. We have momentum.”

President Joseph A. Chapman

Joseph A. Chapman has led North Dakota State University since June 1999, and under his energetic and

visionary leadership, the university has transformed in a number of important measures. Student enrollment has grown each year of his tenure. Undergraduate students from around the region, the nation and the world have made NDSU their institution of choice. The uni-versity also added numerous master’s programs, and the number of doc-toral program offerings has more than doubled since 1999. Chapman also has energized the university’s research efforts, broaden-ing the portfolio from less than $50 million in research expenditures to more than $100 million for the past several years. This is an important and recognized indicator of the caliber of work conducted. In fact, NDSU is listed in the top 100 research universi-ties in the country in several National Science Foundation categories, and when ranked by research and develop-ment expenditures among 537 research universities without a medical school, NDSU is 41st in the National Science Foundation report. He sought partnerships from the private sector to enable expansion of NDSU’s Research and Technology Park, a catalyst for innovation in science and technology. The NDSU park is consid-ered a model for success by partner-ing with private sector companies to enhance the educational opportunities and economic activity in the state and region. Also under his guidance, the uni-

versity has transitioned to a Division I NCAA athletic program. The volleyball, men’s basketball and softball teams all were Summit League champions and competed in their postseason tourna-ments in 2008-09. On behalf of North Dakota State University, Chapman has traveled extensively in the state and around the world, to enhance the connections vital to a successful university. Each summer Chapman leads a tour to various loca-tions in the state called Conversations Across the Land, to listen to citizens and share information about education and research at NDSU. Before coming to NDSU, Chapman was senior vice president and provost at Montana State University, Bozeman, where he also served as a professor of biology. Among his responsibilities were a wide array of statewide initiatives, including a system of academic and out-

reach programs at Montana’s two-year and four-year campuses. Prior to joining Montana State in 1996, he was dean of the College of Natural Resources at Utah State University. From 1969 to 1983, he worked at the University of Maryland, College Park, advancing to head the Appalachian Environmen-tal Laboratory. He also was a wildlife biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from 1965 to 1967. Chapman earned his bachelor’s degree, master’s degree and doctorate from Oregon State University, Corval-lis. He lists 11 books and editorships, eight monographs, 31 book chapters and symposia proceedings, 67 journal publications and more than 100 reports and popular articles. He is active in a number of orga-nizations in the Fargo-Moorhead area, and is a member of the boards of direc-tors of US Bank, Fargo/Cass County Eco-nomic Development Corp., NDSU Alumni Association and the NDSU Research and Technology Park. He also is a trustee of the NDSU Development Foundation. Chapman is a fellow of the Explor-er’s Club and the Institute of Biology, London. He is a member of the Wildlife Society, American Society of Mammalo-gists and American Philatelic Society. He also is an honorary member of the Species Survival Commission, which has headquarters in Switzerland. In 2000, he was invited to join the Cosmos Club, a private social club founded in 1878 in Washington, D.C., and dedicated to science, literature and art. Joseph and Gale Chapman have two daughters, Valerie and Jennifer.

When he came to North Dakota State Uni-versity in the summer of 2001, Gene Taylor inherited a department surrounded by a whirlwind of questions. In his fi rst year as the director of athletics at North Dakota State, Taylor was asked to spearhead a comprehensive study and evalu-ation of the Bison athletic department. He has guided the athletics program through the unpredictable waters of reclassifi cation to NCAA Division I from Division II. One of most important pieces of the transi-tion was securing conference affi liations for all 16 sports. The Bison are currently mem-

bers of The Summit League, Missouri Valley Football Conference and Western Wrestling Conference. Taylor also played an instrumental part of forming the Great West Football Conference in February 2004, an affi liation that gave the Bison football program an immediate home in Division I. He served as chair of the coaches committee. Also on the reclassifi cation checklist: fundraising. Taylor spear-headed an increase in the Bison athletics budget, which has more than doubled from $5 million in his fi rst year to almost $12.5 million for the 2008-09 season. He was recognized for his success by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics in June 2008. Taylor was one of 29 recipients of the AstroTurf AD of the Year award as the Football Cham-pionship Subdivision Central Region winner. A student assistant to the associate athletic director in his under-graduate days at Arizona State University, Taylor came to NDSU after a 15-year stint at Navy (1986-2001) as an administrative assistant, assistant ticket manager, ticket manager, assistant athletic director for tickets and operations, and associate athletic director. Taylor is a 1980 business management graduate of Arizona State, and he received his master’s degree in sports administration in 1985 from St. Thomas University in Florida. He worked in the ticket offi ce at Southern Methodist University in 1985-86 directly before joining the Naval Academy and was in the pri-vate restaurant business before that for fi ve years. His tenure at Navy included serving as the commissioner of the fi ve-team Collegiate Sprint Football League that includes Army, Navy, Penn, Princeton and Cornell. Taylor and his wife, Cathy, are the parents of a daughter, Casey, and a son, Jared.

Student-Athlete Support

Sports Medicine Student-athletes at North Dakota State receive outstand-ing care for athletic-related injuries. The athletic training staff has fully-equipped facilities at the Bison Sports Arena, Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse, Fargodome and Newman Outdoor Field. Scott Woken, director of sports medicine, heads a staff of eight certifi ed athletic trainers who attend all practices and competitions, home and away. Plus, several talented and skilled Fargo-Moorhead area medical specialists assist in the diagnosis and treatment of Bison student-athletes.

Media Coverage The media spotlight shines on North Dakota State’s athletic teams from the opening of fall camps into the summer months. With four network television stations, three sports talk radio hosts, and the state’s largest daily newspaper all headquartered in Fargo, the Bison are continually a hot topic locally and in the region. Along with regular television news coverage on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX affi liates, the Bison receive expanded regional and national coverage of select regular-season games and champion-ship events on ESPN, Fox Sports Net, CBS College Sports, and other regional carriers.

GoBison.com GoBison.com is the online home of North Dakota State Uni-versity athletics. In 2004, NDSU partnered with JumpTV Sports to launch the most interactive Web site in the athletic depart-ment’s history. Beyond regular news releases, schedules, rosters, game recaps and statistics, fans can visit GoBison.com to watch live in-game stats of most home events, purchase tickets, buy photos and download graphics and ringtones for mobile handheld de-vices.

About 10 percent of North Dakota’s area, the band of rich soil 40 miles west of the Red River, is often called the “Breadbasket of the World.” Livestock production is second only to wheat in North Dakota’s agricultural economy. It is most important in western North Dakota where the land is less suited for grain crops. The main livestock are beef, dairy cattle and hogs. The importance of cattle ranching has been challenged in recent years by the development of North Dakota’s tremendous oil and coal reserves. Energy is the state’s third-largest industry. Since the late 1970s and the infamous Arab oil embargo, North Dakota has been in the forefront of the national effort to provide more oil and gas from domes-tic sources. North Dakota has one of the world’s largest deposits of lignite coal. Among coal-pro-ducing states, North Dakota

parks and recreation areas offer exciting opportunities while preserving the state’s natural and historic heri-tage. Hike in the Badlands as Roosevelt once did before he became our nation’s 26th president. Canoe the mighty Missouri River along Lewis and Clark’s trail as they did almost two centuries ago. Or catch record-breaking walleye on Lake Sakakawea. North Dakota’s invigo-rating winter days, plentiful snowfall and varied terrain have made it a winter play-ground. Activities such as snowmobiling, downhill and cross-country skiing, ice fi sh-ing, sledding and skating are favorite pastimes.

Wheat is big in North Dakota. Produc� on of this staple and other crops makes North Dakota one of the top agricultural areas in the world.

Alternately fl ooded by vast prehis-toric seas and scraped fl at by immense

glaciers, this region eventually became America’s bread basket and the center of high-tech, 21st-century agribusiness. Less than 10,000 years ago, the area that is now Fargo-Moorhead was 200 feet below the surface of Lake Agassiz, a huge inland sea formed at the edge of the ice age. Over centuries the waters receded, leaving 6 feet of rich, black soil that to-day makes the Red River Valley one of the world’s most fertile farmlands, with Fargo and Moorhead at its center. The Red River of the North separates the two cities and serves as the border between North Dakota and Minnesota. The city of Fargo was named for one of the owners of the Wells-Fargo Express Company, William G. Fargo. The city of Moorhead was named after William G. Moorhead, an executive of the Northern Pacifi c Railway. In fact, the Northern Pacifi c Railway had a pro-found impact on both the economy and population of the area. Origi-nally settled by Scandinavian and European immi-grants, Fargo and Moorhead became boom towns with the arrival of the NP in 1871. Under the Homestead Act, settlers were given 160 acres in exchange for living on the land and farming part of it for at least fi ve years. Suddenly, Fargo-Moorhead became a mecca for hopeful refugees from the overcrowded East. The railroad brought a con-stant stream of settlers seek-ing a new life on America’s newest frontier. The home of NDSU, Fargo is a bustling metropolitan area that is often listed as one of the best places to live in the country. Named an All-Ameri-

can City by the National Civic League in 2000, Fargo-Moorhead is the largest com-munity between Minneapolis and Seattle. More than 175,000 people make their home in Cass and Clay counties. There seems to be no end in sight to the persistent prosperity and growth of the twin cities on the Red. The community has recieved many accolades.

Fargo-Moorhead:An All-American City

Fargo-Moorhead was named the least stressful community in the nation by Self magazine. Money magazine included Fargo in a list of the top-10 best U.S. cit-

ies in which to start a business or get a job. In its 2004 ranking of “Best Performing Cities,” the Milken Institute rated Fargo-Moorhead 20th in job creation and economic growth among small metro areas in the country. The sixth annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study ranked North Dakota best in the nation in quality of hospital health care. Fargo-Moorhead made the “Cleanest U.S. Cities for Ozone Air Pollution” list, as reported by the American Lung Association’s State of the Air

The historic downtown Fargo Theatre, built in 1926 and fully restored in 1999, features independent fi lms and concerts.

Downtown Fargo offers a variety of entertainment and exquisite dining. The 21st century has brought multi-million dollar private and commercial re-development to the business district, including the establishment of NDSU’s downtown campus in three formerly vacant buildings.

Summertime tradition in Fargo includes “Rib Fest,” a celebration of the best barbecue in the world. Thousands of people attend each year to enjoy ribs, chicken, and live entertainment outside the Fargodome.

ARE YOU A REPRESENTATIVE OF NDSU’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?

You are a representative of NDSU’s athletics interests, more commonly known as a “booster”, if you meet any of the following conditions: You have been or are a member of any organization that promotes NDSU’s athletics program (e.g., NDSU Foundation, Team Makers). You have made a financial contribution to the NDSU athletics department or its booster organization. You have ever assisted in the recruitment of prospects for NDSU. You have provided benefits (e.g. summer jobs or occasional family meals) to enrolled student-athletes. You have arranged for or provided employment for enrolled student-athletes, or assisted in providing any benefit to enrolled student-athletes or their families. You have ever, in any way, promoted the athletics program at NDSU.

NOTE: Please remember that once you become a booster, you retain that identity indefinitely.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE?

A prospective student-athlete, commonly known as a “prospect,” is any individual who has started classes for the 9th grade. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospects. Ultimately, a student remains a prospect until enrollment at a four-year collegiate institution. It is possible for a younger student-athlete to be a prospect so it is a good idea to treat all athletes as prospects until they enroll.

WHO CAN RECRUIT FOR NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY?

Only North Dakota State University coaches who successfully complete the annual NCAA Coaches Certificate Exam, which tests their knowledge of NCAA recruitment legislation, are permitted to be involved in the recruiting process. As a booster, you are specifically prohibited from: Making any recruiting contacts with prospects or their relatives. This includes telephone calls, letters, e-mails, and facsimiles, along with any face-to-face contact either on or off campus. Assisting NDSU coaches by picking up transcripts, films, or any other information pertaining to a

prospect’s ability from the prospect’s educational institution. Providing a benefit to high school, prep school or community college coaches.

NCAA RULES REGARDING THE INTERNET

The internet is considered similar to e-mail, telephone calls, or general correspondence. Therefore, it should not be used by boosters to contact prospects, their families, or their coaches. Participation in “chat rooms” with prospects is strictly prohibited.

NCAA RULES REGARDING BOOSTER INVOLVEMENT WITH PROSPECTS

You may not provide financial aid or benefit of any kind (e.g., clothing, special discounts, lodging, meals, transportation, tickets, loans of money) to prospects or their relatives. You may not contact a prospective student-athlete to congratulate him/her on signing a National Letter of Intent to attend NDSU. You may not provide transportation or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect or his/her relatives or friends to visit campus. You may not earmark funds nor pay for specific prospects to attend an NDSU summer camp. You may not employ or arrange for employment of a prospect before the completion of his/her senior year. After graduation, a booster may employ a prospect as long as compensation is for work actually performed and at a rate commensurate with experience and the going rate. You may not provide anything to a prospect or the prospect’s family or friends without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

NCAA RULES REGARDING BOOSTER INVOLVEMENT WITH ENROLLED STUDENT-ATHLETES

You may not pay for or arrange for payment of room, board, or any type of transportation at any time for currently enrolled student-athletes, their relatives, or their friends. You may not provide student-athletes with any sort of extra benefit, which refers to any special arrangement provided a student-athlete or his/her relatives or friends with the benefit unavailable to the general student population. You may not provide student-athletes with any special discounts, payment arrangements (e.g., cosigning a loan), credits on a purchase (e.g.,

airline ticket, clothing), or services (e.g., dry cleaning, transportation). You may not allow student-athletes to use your telephone or make free calls. You may not provide awards or gifts to student-athletes for any reason. This also prohibits honorariums for speaking engagements. All awards to student-athletes must meet all NCAA legislation and be approved by the Compliance Office. You may not entertain student-athletes or their families and friends. You may not even buy them a cup of coffee or a can of soda. The only exception to this is that you may, on an occasional basis, provide a student-athlete or team (not family members or friends) with a meal. The meal can be catered, but it must be in your home. You may not use the name or picture of a student-athlete to advertise a commercial product. You may not purchase complimentary admissions from a current student-athlete. You may not provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for speaking engagement.

NOTE: These rules apply throughout the student-athlete’s entire enrollment at NDSU.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Forward information about prospects to the appropriate NDSU coaching staff member. View a prospect’s athletics contest on your own initiative, provided you do not contact the prospect or his/her relatives, coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the academic or athletic abilities of the prospect. You are responsible for all incurred costs or fees at a contest. Speak to a prospect on the telephone ONLY if the prospect initiates the call. You are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but you may exhibit normal civility. Under such circumstances, you must refer questions about the athletics program to the athletics department staff. Employ a prospect or student-athlete, provided permission has been granted by the athletics department. The student-athlete will ask you to provide employment information to the athletics department prior to employment.

North Dakota State University’s athletics program is rich in tradition. Its storied history includes national, regional, and conference championships and champions. On top of these athletic

achievements are numerous academic championships earned by our student-athletes.
