GAMPEL PAVILIONThe UConn Huskies play all of their home matches in Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, a

spacious, state-of-the-art building that opened in January of 1990 and houses more than 10,000 spectators. Gampel Pavilion was a $28 million project and totals more than 171,000 square feet in the domed area. The brilliant aluminum dome of the building towers more than 130 feet in the air from ground level. Following the 2009 season of volleyball, new scoreboards and video boards were installed, along with separate displays that show-case team and individual statistics.

The 2014 season marks the 21st year in Gampel for the UConn volleyball team, which has compiled an impressive overall record of 190-74 since beginning play in the Pavilion in 1993. This season, Connecticut will play at least 16 matches in front of a home crowd at Gampel Pavilion. The home slate includes American Athletic Conference matches against all nine of UConn’s league counterparts.

The UConn volleyball team has access to two different weight rooms in Gampel Pavilion along with the Hugh S. Greer Field House Weight Room for use during their strength and conditioning workouts. The weight rooms feature custom made multi-use racks and plat-forms, dumbbell racks, cable machines and various Cybex Machines.

Preview

NEW MAN AT THE HELMUConn Volleyball has a new face at the helm of the program. Kris Grun-wald was named the head coach on April 2, 2014 after serving as an as-sistant coach at Auburn for the last two seasons.Grunwald, who has a coaching career that dates back to 1991, led Auburn to a 41-20 record as head coach in 1998-99 and helped pace the Tigers to eight winning seasons during his two stints. As a player at George Mason from 1988-91, Grunwald was a three-time Honorable Mention All-American and three-time All-East First Team performer. In the Patriot career records book, he is second in kills (1,764), fourth in digs (676) and seventh in blocks (394).

PREPARINg TO DO BATTLEEast Carolina, Tulsa, and Tulane are set to join The American in 2014 as the Huskies prepare to face each of these teams twice in conference play. There are four teams on the schedule that the Huskies have never played before, including ECU and Tulsa. The slate features 20 conference matchups via home-and-home series with each league member, as well as 12 non-conference contests spread throughout four in-season tournaments.

WELCOME TO THE BLOCK PARTYThe Huskies’ 2014 roster features two of the most prolific blockers in the American Athletic Conference. Juniors Erika Thom-as (Ocoee, Fla.) and Immanuella Anagu (Culver City, Calif.) combined for 265 total blocks in 2013 and helped lead the Huskies to a 2.33 block/set mark that ranked fourth in the conference and 94th in the nation.

PUTTINg IN THE WORKSenior libero Brianna Datti (Durham, N.H.) etched her name into the UConn history books last season, finishing with the sixth-most digs in Husky single season history (541). Datti’s 127 sets played was also the seventh highest mark in UConn history. The Husky standout needs just 121 digs in 2014 to crack into UConn’s top-10 all-time leaders and can reach the top-five with 526. In addition to her work on defense, Datti led the 2013 squad with a career-best 29 service aces.

STAYINg TOgETHERThe Huskies return 12 letterwinners from last year’s 14-19 squad and are anchored by five seniors. Overall, seven of UConn’s 15 players will be upperclassmen during the 2014 season.

FRESH FACESUConn’s 12 returning letterwinners will be bolstered by Grunwald’s strong incoming three-member freshman class. The bal-anced crop of rookies includes middle blocker Tosin Adeniyi (Springfield, Ill.), and outsider hitters Kenya Cason (Colum-bus, Ohio) and Katherine Towslee (Woodinville, Wash.). Each comes to Storrs after decorated prep and club careers and will look to make immediate impacts for the Huskies. Transfers Jessika Long (Sandy, Utah) and Rebecca Rivera (Mississauga, Ontario) will look to make a mark as they battle for time as the setter.

Kris Grunwald, who spent 2012 and 2013 as an assistant coach at Auburn and was the Tigers’ head coach from 1998-99, was named the head coach of the University of Connecticut volleyball team on April 2, 2014.

A native of Germantown, N.Y., Grunwald was an assistant coach at Auburn from 1994-97 then took over the head coaching reigns for two years. As an assistant coach, he led Auburn to an SEC Western Division championship in 1996. In his two years back at Auburn as an assistant coach, the Tigers had a 17-13 mark in ‘12 and was 19-11 in ‘13.

Auburn has had a winning record in all eight years that Grunwald had been on the Tiger staff. “I am incredibly excited to become the head volleyball coach at UConn and I consider it an amazing opportunity,” said Grun-wald. “I am looking forward to being part of this amaz-ing University with its rich tradition in athletics and such a strong academic reputation. I think we have a very tal-ented roster of current student-athletes in this program already and I look forward to getting to know them and develop their skills. As a native of the Northeast, I think this school and this program is a great fit for me.”

“I am very pleased to welcome Kris to our UConn fam-ily and am extremely excited about the direction of our volleyball program,” said UConn Director of Athletics Warde Manuel. “Kris brings a wide variety of collegiate athletics experience to our program, including many years of coaching the sport at the highest level. I believe that Kris will be an excellent mentor for both the athletic and academic success of our volleyball student-athletes.”

Grunwald returned to Auburn in 2012 after spending the previous four years as an assistant at Arkansas. Under Grunwald’s leadership as head coach, Auburn amassed a 41-20 record over two seasons, posting a 22-win cam-paign in 1998 and 19 wins the following season.

Grunwald was a three-time Honorable Mention All-American and three-time All-East First Team performer for the George Mason volleyball team (1988-91), which reached the national semifinals in 1988. In the George

Mason career records book, he is second in kills (1,764), fourth in digs (676) and seventh in blocks (394).

He moved on to Florida State for his graduate work where he served as an assistant coach for three seasons (1991-93). He assumed a larger role as the recruiting coordinator when he joined the Auburn staff as an as-sistant in 1994.

Grunwald was the compliance service coordinator at Michigan from 2000-02, assisting with student-athlete certification, eligibility and NCAA rules interpretation. He returned to coaching in 2002 as an assistant coach at Mississippi, a position he held through the 2005 season. From his spot with the Rebels, Grunwald became the asso-ciate head coach at Morehead State until accepting the position at Arkansas prior to the 2008 season.

Grunwald is a 1991 graduate of George Mason Univer-sity with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics. He earned his master’s degree in mathematics education at Florida State in 1993.

Sarah Cullen joins the UConn coaching staff in 2014 after spending the past three seasons as an assistant at Georgetown.

In her three-year stint with the Hoyas, Cullen helped mentor a pair of All-Conference performers and guided the Hoyas to a three-game improvement between her second and third seasons on staff.

Prior to her time at GU, Cullen worked for two seasons as a volunteer assistant at the University of Pittsburgh. In two years at Pitts-burgh, Cullen worked specifically with the defense and outside hitters. Other responsibilities included recording stats on the bench and Cullen was also instrumental with the 2011 summer camps, serving as Camp Director.

Before she began her coaching career, Cullen spent four years as a starter on the volleyball team at DePaul University. As a Blue De-mon, Cullen was named the program’s Most Outstanding Player in 2009, leading the team in both kills and digs. Cullen immediately demonstrated her versatility on the court and served as DePaul’s starting setter as a freshman, eventually moving back to the outside hitter position for her remaining three years. Having recorded an impressive 36 career double-doubles (kills-digs), Cullen finished her collegiate volleyball campaign with 1,151 digs, 964 kills, and 509 assists.

In the classroom, Cullen also held high academic standards while balancing collegiate athletics. She was named to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team and the DePaul Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll all four years. She finished her undergraduate study with a 3.68 grade-point average, earning a degree in communications. During her time at Georgetown, Cullen earned her master’s degree in professional studies in sports industries management in August 2013.

Ellen Herman is entering the first year of her second stint with the Huskies, re-joining the Huskies in 2014 after also serving as an assistant in 2011. Herman joins the UConn staff after playing professionally in Europe and after a standout career at Ohio University.

The Toledo, Ohio native most recently played professionally with Sagres NUC, one of the top teams in the LNA, the top professional league in Switzerland. During the 2011-2012 season, she was match MVP three times, and helped them out of Neuchatel, Switzerland club finish second in the league. Sagres also reached the Swiss Cup final and the quarterfinals of the CEV Challenge Cup, a European-wide Championship. Re-turning to Neuchatel the following season, she was awarded match MVP five times and the team finished third place in the LNA.

In 2010, she competed for VT Aurubis Hamburg, a member of Germany’s 14-team premier league, the Bundesliga. During her brief stint in Germany, she received MVP honors during two matches.

Prior to her professional career, Herman trained with the U.S. National Team during the summer of 2009 and competed with the U.S. National Team on their Tour of China during February of 2010. She also competed with the U.S. A2 Team, earning Most Valuable Player honors at the Adult Open Championship in 2008.

Herman, a two-time All-American, led the Bobcats to four successful seasons during her collegiate career, including three Mid American Confer-ence regular season championships, three MAC tournament championships and four NCAA tournament berths. She was named the MAC Player of the Year as a junior and senior and also earned MAC Freshman of the Year accolades during her rookie campaign. The four-time first team All-MAC selection left Ohio University as the OU and MAC all-time leader in kills, as well as OU’s all-time leader in points and attacks.

Herman, who earned Academic All-MAC honors three times during her collegiate career, graduated with a Bachelor of health administration from Ohio University in June 2010.

AMERICAN RISINgAfter more than 30 years in the Big East, the Huskies transitioned to the American Athletic Conference for the 2013 season. UConn picked up its first American win in a four-set thriller vs. Rutgers on Oct. 11.

FINISHINg STRONgDespite finishing under .500 for the first time since 2011, the Hus-kies won three of their final five matches, including a 3-2 victory over Cincinnati in the season finale. Three Huskies eclipsed 10 kills in the match, with Karson Ratliff leading the team with 16.

DATTI SHINESBrianna Datti put together an excellent junior campaign in 2013, tallying 541 total digs which was sixth-most in UConn single-season history. Her 4.26 digs/set ranked eighth best in The American and was 135th nationally. In addition, Datti posted a team-best 29 service aces.

RATLIFF BREAKS OUTJunior outside hitter Karson Ratliff had a breakout season for the Huskies, playing in 32-of-33 matches and compiling a team-high 365 kills, good for 3.0/set in 122 sets. She more than doubled her previous career output after coming into 2013 with 165 kills during her first two seasons in Storrs. Ratliff finished 11th in the league in kills and 20th with a .215 attack percentage. She earned a spot on the All-Conference Second Team, marking the third consecutive season that the Huskies have been represented on at least one all-con-ference squad.

#BLOCKPARTY DUOImmanuella Anagu and Erika Thomas were forces at the net in 2013, combining for 265 blocks. Overall, UConn’s 2.33 blocks/set mark was 94th best in the country and fourth in the conference.

STAYINg NEUTRALThe Huskies finished the year with a 5-3 record on neutral courts and now sport a 13-8 neutral mark over the past three seasons.

Only six players in the history of Connecticut volleyball have collected both 1,000 kills and

1,000 digs during their Husky careers, including two members of the class of 1998. Kim Lobach was the first to accomplish such a feat when she collected 1,189 kills and 1,332 digs from 1990-93. Jennifer Halusek became the second member of the elite group after just three seasons at UConn, and upon finishing her four-year career, she totaled 1,165 kills and 1,393 digs from 1993-96. Heather Sokol joined the group in 1996, finishing a stellar career with 1,005 kills and 1,729 digs from 1993-96. Annette Rynn (1995-98) became the fourth Husky to reach the milestone, accomplishing the feat as a junior in 1997, and recorded 1,508 kills and 1,722 digs by graduation. Jenelle Koester (1995-98) became UConn’s all-time career kills leader as a junior, finishing her collegiate career with a total of 1,724, and joined this elite group when she completed her senior season with an even 1,000 digs. Most recently, Jamie Hadenfeldt (2001-04) joined the list her senior season, totaling 1,357 kills and 1,399 digs.

SPORTS MEDICINE //////The Department of Sports Medicine in the University of Connecticut Division of athletics works as an integrated multidisciplinary team

whose purpose is to provide the optimal, safe environment for each of UConn’s intercollegiate student-athletes to train and participate in their respective sports. The staff takes great pride in the individual attention paid to each student-athlete.

The sports medicine staff is devoted to preventing injury, rapidly diagnosing and treating injury and maximizing athletic performance. The disciplines of athletic training, strength and conditioning, sports medicine, orthopedic sports medicine, optometry, nutrition, exercise physiology and psychology work in concert to provide comprehensive care for the student-athlete.

The Orthopedic Sports Medicine Specialists for the team include: Dr. Michael Joyce of the Orthopedic Sports Specialists in Glastonbury; Dr. Robert Arciero, Dr. Thomas DeBerardino, and Dr. Augustus Mazzocca of the New England Musculoskeletal Institute at the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington.

The Department of Sports Medicine works intimately with the Departments of Kinesiology and Nutritional Sciences on the University of Connecticut campus. This working relationship affords the student-athletes with the input of several nationally recognized exercise scientists. This cooperation also keeps the sports medicine staff on the cutting edge of developments in the fields of human performance and sports nutrition. Members of the sports medicine staff are actively engaged in research that directly benefits the care of each student-athlete.

The UConn Sports Medicine team is housed in state-of-the-art facilities in the Hugh S. Greer Field House and the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion, as well as a new and expanded sports medicine treatment center located in the Burton Family Football Complex.

The Department of Sports Medicine at the University of Connecticut administers to the daily needs of 650 male and female intercollegiate student-athletes, who are a part of 24 different varsity programs.

The Department of Sports Medicine at Connecticut plays a critical role in assuring that all UConn student-athletes have access to the best medical support and health care possible. Through patient care and ongoing research and education, the department continues to provide Husky teams a competitive edge from the medical perspective.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING //////The Strength and Conditioning staff, under the direction of Jerry Martin, provides services for all 24 of the University of Connecticut’s

intercollegiate sports.UConn volleyball players have the use of two different weight rooms in the Harry A. Gampel Pavilion and Hugh S. Greer Field

House. In all, there are over 8,000 square feet of weight training facilities available to all UConn athletes.The weight room in Gampel is a free weight facility and supplies the team areas in which to perform their power and Olympic lifts.

The facility in the Greer Field House is fitted with more free weights so that the UConn players can incorporate circuit training, speed training and heavy negative workouts into their total strength program.

Each program can be manipulated in order to fulfill the specific needs of the individual athlete. Specific testing is done to each student-athlete to monitor progress in strength, power, body composition, anaerobic conditioning and flexibility. These tests provide coaches and the medical staff with an accurate athletic program of each player.amaNda Kimball

the aMerican athletic CONFERENCENot entirely unlike the nation that provides its namesake, the American Athletic Conference was born from an ideal in which members with ambitious goals are provided with the means to succeed in their quests for excellence.

With roots that extend to three conferences, the American Athletic Conference membership in 2014-15 consists of 11 institutions: the University of Central Florida, the University of Cincinnati, East Carolina University, the University of Connecticut, the University of Houston, the University of Memphis, the University of South Florida, Southern Methodist University, Temple University, Tulane University and the University of Tulsa.

The 2015-16 season sees the U.S. Naval Academy join the ranks in football only.

Under the leadership of commissioner Mike Aresco, The American, which operated as the Big East Conference from 1979 to 2013, has immediately taken a place at the forefront of Division I athletics, with schools that have played in four Bowl Championship Series games, won four NCAA men’s basketball titles since 1999, and won nine NCAA women’s basketball cham-pionships since 1995.

The American Athletic Conference holds television partnerships with ESPN and CBS Sports which will give the conference unprecedented national exposure. The football portion of the contract, which begins in the 2014 season, calls for nearly 90 percent of conference-controlled games on national broadcast or national cable platforms. The first American Athletic Conference Football Championship, which will be played in 2015, will be carried either on ABC or ESPN on Championship Saturday.

The American Athletic Conference administers to its membership from a state-of-the-art office located in Providence, R.I. The location of the confer-ence headquarters – just steps from the city’s Amtrak station and 10 minutes from T.F. Green International Airport – gives the conference easy access to its member schools.

Our Campus is ConnecticutIn addition to the main campus in Storrs, the University of Connecticut has a number of other campuses and schools around the state, which truly makes the state into the campus.

The UConn Health Center and John Dempsey Hospital is located in Farmington, just west of Hartford. Today, Bioscience Connecticut, an $864 million initiative, is transforming the campus of the UConn Health Center. Bioscience Connecticut is a forward-thinking plan to create thousands of construction and related jobs in the short-term and generate long-term, sustainable economic growth based on bioscience research, innovation, entrepreneurship and commercialization. It is a multifaceted plan that also includes initiatives to improve access to healthcare services in the region and beyond.

Renovations have begun in the original research tower and work is underway to build the new outpatient care center and the new hospital tower. In addition, groundbreaking ceremonies were held in January 2013 for the new $1.1 billion Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, the first return on the state’s Bioscience Connecticut investment, which will be housed on the UConn Health Center campus. The Jackson initiative is a collaboration between the globally prominent Jackson Laboratory, UConn, the Health Center and leading academic and healthcare institutions in the region.

The UConn School of Law is one of the leading public law schools in the country. Its campus, listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, is among the most beautiful of any law school in the United States. The newly-completed law library is perhaps the finest facility of its kind in the world. Two miles from the center of Hartford, the Law School is located in a neighborhood of large Victorian homes.

UConn has long had an undergraduate campus in the Greater Hartford region and plans have been announced to relocate that campus to downtown Hartford in the former home of the The Hartford Times. That campus is expected to open in 2017.

The UConn campus in downtown Stamford is surrounded by a cluster of corporate headquarters including a number of Fortune 500 companies, such as Pitney-Bowes and Charter Communications.

The UConn campus in Waterbury is housed in a new state-of the-art facility. Options exist to transfer to the Storrs campus after two years or earn a degree right in Waterbury.

UConn’s “campus by the ocean” is located at Avery Point in the southern portion of the state in Groton. Avery Point is the home to the Connecticut Sea Grant Program in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Project Oceanography, and education program for middle school and high school students, is also on the Avery Point campus.

The Torrington campus, located in the hills of the western portion of the state, is home to the famed Litchfield County Writers Program. The program attracts visits by some of the country’s most pre-eminent writers including Roxana Robinson and the late Madeline L’Engle and Arthur Miller.

“If You Can Make It There, You’ll Make It Anywhere”

The University of Connecticut does make it in New York City and has a strong foothold on the entire Metropolitan Region. When the Huskies are in town – the “city that never sleeps” certainly takes notice.

The UConn men’s basketball team has long considered Madison Square Garden a home-away-from-home. This was proved yet against when the Huskies won the NCAA East Region there in 2014 en route to a national championship. UConn fans dominated the MSG crowd and filled the city’s hotels and restaurants with Husky pride.

UConn football makes its debut in New York City when the Huskies play Army at Yankee Stadium on Nov. 8.

“A lot of people don’t understand what makes New York tick. The two schools with the biggest impact in the New York market have been Syracuse and Connecticut.

W arde J. Manuel, who has had a distinguished career in intercollegiate

athletics that ranges from being a student-athlete to a director of athletics, became the Director of Athletics at the University of Connecticut in March of 2012.

Manuel, a 1990 graduate of the University of Michigan where he played both football and track and field, had most recently been the Director of Athletics at the University at Buffalo for six years.

His first academic year of 2012-13 was a highly successful one for UConn teams, highlighted by the women’s basketball team winning the NCAA Championship. In addition, UConn teams from men’s soccer, field hockey, women’s lacrosse and baseball all took part in NCAA tournament play while the women’s diving and men’s and women’s track and field pro-grams were all represented in NCAA individual championships.

This success more than continued into the 2013-14 academic year as UConn won three national championships for the first time in school histo-ry – men’s basketball, women’s basketball and field hockey. In addition, the men’s soccer team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals.

UConn was just one of four schools nationally that finished in the top ten of the Capital One Cup on both the men’s and women’s side.

Manuel directed UConn’s acceptance into membership of Hockey East, the nation’s premier men’s ice hockey conference, as the Huskies begin play in the league in 2014-15.

Ground was broken for the UConn Basketball Champions Center in the spring of 2013 and the facility opened in the summer of 2014 to service both the Huskies’ men’s and women’s championship basketball teams.

Manuel oversaw a coaching transition in men’s basketball with the retire-ment of Hall of Fame coach Jim Calhoun and the hiring of former Husky student-athlete, NBA player and UConn assistant coach Kevin Ollie.

In December of 2013, Manuel hired former Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco as UConn’s new football coach.

During his tenure, Manuel also hired new head coaches for the UConn men’s and women’s ice hockey, volleyball, women’s track and field and soft-ball program.

The UConn Division of Athletics once again had an outstanding rate performance in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) in 2014 as all three national championship teams posted a perfect 1000 single-year score while field hockey also had a perfect 1000 four-year score. A total of 14 UConn teams posted perfect single-year scores of 1000 and five had multi-year scores of 1000.

The men’s basketball team has had APR scores of 978, 947 and 1000 in the past three years as Manuel has helped develop a comprehensive academic plan for all UConn programs.

Manuel has already become a key leader in the American Athletic Conference and has been named a member of the league’s Finance Committee.

Manuel led a 20-sport program at Buffalo, an institution that is a mem-ber of the prestigious American Association of Universities. Buffalo enjoyed an unparalleled period of success during his time there from an athletic, aca-demic and community service perspective.

From an academic standpoint, teams at Buffalo enjoyed incredible suc-cess. When Manuel arrived at UB, there were four programs - football, men’s basketball, wrestling, and baseball - that fell far below the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) cut score of 925. With a focused academic plan, all four teams posted a four-year APR rate above the cut score and at the end of 2009-10, 10 of UB’s 20 sports had scores of 975 or above.

Buffalo enjoyed great on-field success during Manuel’s time as the football team participated in the 2009 International Bowl and the men’s basketball team made postseason appearances in three of the past seven years. Olympic sports also thrived under Manuel’s leadership with accomplishments such as three-straight Dad Vail Regatta titles by the rowing team, six wrestlers earning spots at the 2011 NCAA Championship and the women’s tennis team making an appearance in the 2008 NCAA tournament. The sports of baseball and softball won a record number of games during his tenure and stu-dent-athletes earned All-American and all-conference honors at record rates.

Manuel was honored by Sports Business Journal as a 2008 national 40-Under-40 honoree after receiving the same honor from Business First of Buffalo in Fall of 2007. Manuel has served on a number of national and conference committees and boards.

In September of 2011, he was one of only three Athletic Directors asked to serve on the Collegiate Model Rules committee, a working group of the Division I Committee on Academic Performance, charged with broad over-view of the current NCAA Rules Manual.

He also currently serves on the NCAA Division I Championships/Sports Management Cabinet and served for four years as a member of the NCAA’s Academic Cabinet. During that time, he was selected as Chair of the NCAA Academic Eligibility & Compliance Transfer Ad Hoc Committee. He is a member of the Boards of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the D1A Athletic Directors Association. He also serves as a member of the Council of Presidents Budget & Finance Committee and served for three years as the Chair of the Mid-American Conference Director of Athletics Finance Committee.

In June of 2007, Manuel accepted the Opportunity Award by all-time tennis great Billie Jean King, as Buffalo was recognized by the Women’s Sports Foundation as one of four “standout” colleges and universities in the nation for outstanding achievement in providing equitable athletic opportu-nities for its female student-athletes.

Prior to his time at Buffalo, he was the assistant and associate director of athletics for the University of Michigan, where he oversaw that school’s football and men’s basketball programs. In February 1998, he was named an assistant athletic director at Michigan with responsibilities for overseeing oper-ational facets of the university’s athletic program. He was named an associate athletic director in September 2000.

Born May 22, 1968, Manuel is a native of New Orleans, who was a high school All-American football player and played for the University of Michigan under its legendary coach, Bo Schembechler. Manuel earned multiple letters and started at defensive end in his sophomore year. His football career was cut short by a neck injury and he subsequently earned two letters on the Wolverines’ track and field team.

After graduating from Michigan, Manuel was coordinator of the univer-sity’s Wade H. McCree, Jr., Incentive Scholars Program from June 1990 to August 1993. The program is a partnership with The President’s Council of State Universities and Detroit Public Schools that helps students prepare for higher education at public universities in Michigan. He subsequently worked briefly as an academic advisor with the Georgia Tech Athletic Association before being named assistant athletic director of academic affairs.

In the course of working on a PhD in social work and psychology at Michigan, he earned a master’s degree in social work in 1993 and an MBA from Michigan’s Ross School of Business in April 2005.

Manuel and his wife, Chrislan, have a daughter, Emma (19), who is in her junior year at UConn, and a son, Evan (15).

In addition to all that the city of Hartford and the state of Connecticut has to offer, the region within two hours of Storrs is ripe with cultural and entertainment possibilities.

NEW YORK CITY (142 miles)

The largest city in the country and the “media capital of the world” is a UConn city. New York City is located approximately two hours from Storrs and when the Huskies are in town, they make their presence known. UConn took over Madison Square Garden in March 2014 when the Huskies won the NCAA East Regional on their way to the national championship. The Huskies make their football debut in the Big Apple this year when they play Army in November at the new Yankee Stadium. From the glimmer of Times Square, to the vast expanse of Central Park, to the majestic skyline, New York City can be easily reached by the Metro-North train lines that run into southern Connecticut. The metro New York area also boasts 10 major professional sports franchises.

SPRINGFIELD (47 miles)

The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is located less than an hour from Storrs in Springfield, Mass., just minutes from the YMCA where Dr. James Naismith invented the game in 1891. A must-see for any fan of the hardwood, the Hall of Fame reopened in the fall of 2002 in a $45 million home just off of Interstate 91 in Springfield. The pinnacle of any basketball career, the hall’s long list of inductees now includes UConn men’s basketball coach Jim Calhoun, a 2005 inductee, and women’s basketball coach Geno Auriemma, a 2006 inductee. Once you finish your tour of the Hall of Fame, Springfield’s neighboring suburb of Agawam is the home of Six Flags New England, the region’s largest amusement park.

BOSTON (86 miles)

The birthplace of the American Revolution, Boston’s historic Freedom Trail is a living history textbook, covering everything from the Battle of Bunker Hill to the midnight ride of Paul Revere. Meanwhile, the city blends its old world charm with a cosmopolitan new world attitude that is evidenced by some of the trendier shops and restaurants that line both historic Faneuil Hall Marketplace and the Back Bay’s Newbury Street. One of the world’s foremost centers of education, Boston is home to over 50 colleges and universities; perhaps the entire world’s most concentrated collection of colleges. The greater Boston area also includes the summer beach resorts on Cape Cod and the islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard. A hub of sporting activity, the 2004, 2007 and 2013 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox have called fabled Fenway Park home since 1912. The 2008 NBA Champion Boston Celtics and the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions Boston Bruins also call Beantown home, while the 2002, 2004 and 2005 Super Bowl Champion New England Patriots and MLS’ New England Revolution play outside of the city in Foxboro’s Gillette Stadium.

PROVIDENCE (51 miles)

Rhode Island’s capital city shows that one of the nation’s smallest states also has plenty to offer its visitors. The multi-cultural capital city, which dates back to 1636, is the Ocean State’s centerpiece. The best known hamlet on the Rhode Island shore, the ocean town of Newport is world famous for its mansions and is a popular vacation destination for those seeking aquatic activities. Newport’s renowned music festival is also a well-attended annual event.

T he sights and sounds of more than a century of intercollegiate athletics

competition come alive during a visit to the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum.

Located in the UConn Alumni Center in the heart of the University of Connecticut’s main campus in Storrs, the Husky Heritage Sports Museum is the ultimate library documenting the wide-ranging successes of Connecticut’s athletic programs.

The state-of-the-art design and layout of the 2,700 square foot Husky Heritage Sports Museum, named after benefactor and 1940 Connecticut basket-ball and football captain J. Robert (Bob) Donnelly (shown above with wife M.J.), vividly captures all of the energy, excitement and enthusiasm that is associated with “Huskymania”. Donnelly passed away on Sept. 26, 2005.

The visitors’ UConn experience begins with the University of Connecticut “National Champions” Gallery. This unique museum addition, located in the entrance foyer of the Husky Heritage Sports Museum, was unveiled in December of 2004 and will serve as a permanent tribute to all University of Connecticut varsity teams that climbed to the mountaintop and earned the right to be called National Champions.

Currently, a total of 17 national champion squads, representing four differ-ent UConn sports, have team photos and national championship logos on display in the National Champions gallery.

Included in the National Champions Gallery is the unbeaten 1948 men’s soccer team of Coach John Squires, the 1981 and 1985 UConn women’s field hockey teams of Coach Diane Wright, the 2013 field hockey team of Coach Nancy Stevens, the 1981 men’s soccer team of Coach Joe Morrone, the 2000 men’s soccer team of Coach Ray Reid, the eight national championship women’s basketball teams of Coach Geno Auriemma (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014), the 1999, 2004 and 2011 UConn men’s basketball teams of Coach Jim Calhoun, and the 2014 UConn men’s basketball team of Coach Kevin Ollie.

Upon entering the Husky Heritage Sports Museum, visitors are greeted by a full figure statue of Jonathan, the legendary mascot of all Husky athletic teams.

Oversized banners proudly hang from the ceiling, displaying action images that feature 88 of Connecticut’s All-American stars representing 17 different intercollegiate sports.

A tour of the various sections of the Husky Heritage Sports Museum is a walk down memory lane for long-time followers of Connecticut athletics. For fans just becoming acquainted with UConn’s tradition of excellence, the various themes and areas of the museum, when woven together, narrate a com-plete and compelling sport-by-sport story line. The growth and development of Connecticut athletics is traced via text, photographs and select artifacts from its humble beginnings in the 1890s to its present day ranking among the elite major college athletic programs in the nation.

Included among the “must see” memorabilia in the Husky Heritage Sports Museum main concourse are the 1981 and 2000 NCAA National Championship Men’s Soccer trophies; the 1981 and 1985 NCAA National Championship

Women’s Field Hockey trophies; the 1950s era baseball gloves belonging to Connecticut’s three Dropo brothers-including Walt Dropo’s first baseman’s mitt when he was the American League Rookie of the Year with the Boston Red Sox in 1950; the 1935 Ramnapping Trophy, awarded annually to the winner of the Connecticut-Rhode Island football game; a 1931 football signed by the entire Connecticut squad; team photos of Connecticut’s first men’s (1901) and women’s (1902) basketball squads; and the Waterford Crystal NCAA National Championship trophies won by UConn Women’s Basketball (1995, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010, 2013, 2014) and UConn Men’s Basketball (1999, 2004, 2011, 2014).

The pinnacle achievement of UConn’s 13 NCAA National Championships in both men’s and women’s basketball is preserved and promoted in a unique circular sanctuary–the Connecticut Basketball Rotunda, a gift of Herb and Marcia Dunn.

Championship trophies and related artifacts that chronicle UConn’s men’s and women’s national titles are prominently featured in the rotunda, as are life-size cutouts of Husky All-American stars Ray Allen and Rebecca Lobo. Celebratory paintings of head coaches Jim Calhoun and Geno Auriemma are on display along with a one-of-a-kind watercolor team photo of the 25-member UConn Men’s Basketball All-Century team.

Also within the Husky Heritage Sports Museum experience is a video wall featuring a 65-inch high definition television. Visitors can view numerous histor-ical moments in UConn history as captured on a variety of highlight films and documentaries.

Each display case of memorabilia and every historical photograph located within the walls of the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum describe a portion of a truly remarkable story.

That story of the teams, the coaches, and student-athletes who have been part of the rich history that constitutes the University of Connecticut athletic experience is now being told on a daily basis at UConn’s Husky Heritage Sports Museum.

In addition, there is a display on the history of football at UConn – from its starts in 1897, to its time in Division I-AA and now as a team that has played in a Bowl Championship Series game.

The J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum is open free of charge to the general public during regular business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) of the UConn Alumni Center.

Since the Husky Heritage Sports Museum opened in January of 2002, sev-eral important artifacts have been donated from UConn loyalists to help expand the scope of the Connecticut Athletics storyline.

The University of Connecticut Division of Athletics continues to seek additional memorabilia/artifacts to help expand the story of the UConn Huskies. Anyone wish-ing to donate specific Connecticut Athletics items to the J. Robert Donnelly Husky Heritage Sports Museum should contact: Tim Tolokan, Phone: (860) 486-1500, e-mail: [email protected].
