2 2010 RUTGERS TRACK & FIELD

HEAD COACH JAMES ROBINSONJames Robinson enters his fourth season as head coach of the Rutgers women’s track and field team. Robinson previously spent an 11-year stint as an assistant at Rutgers. With more than a decade of experience, Robinson brings enthusiasm and technical understanding to the sprints, hurdles, jumping events and multiple events. He has been an invaluable asset to an already successful program and looks to continue the strong tradition of Rutgers track and field.

Robinson began his coaching career in 1995 as a volunteer assistant coach with the Rutgers men’s track and field team. During that time, the staff received recogni-tion as the Co-BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year for the 1996 out-door season.

The following season, Robinson joined the women’s coaching staff as a full-time assis-tant coach under long-time Scarlet Knight mentor Roberta Anthes.

His responsibilities included coaching the sprints, hurdles, multis and jumping events.

As an assistant coach, Robinson helped guide several consistent scor-ers in the sprint, hurdle and jump groups. His tutelage yielded a pair of NCAA All-America certificates, 11 NCAA qualifiers and five NCAA All-East Regional Performances, including a championship title in the long jump at the 2005 regionals.

In addition, Robinson coached 11 BIG EAST Champions, seven ECAC Champions, 30 All-BIG EAST and 52 All-East (ECAC) selections. He also guided two Most Outstanding Performer award recipients at the ECAC Championships and has had 53 Metropolitan Conference Champions pass through the program.

Among the most notable of the numerous standouts Robinson has coached during his career was two-time All-American Shameka Marshall. One of the most decorated and accomplished athletes in Rutgers women’s track and field history, Marshall graduated in 2006 with nine school records. She also made five trips to the NCAA Championships and competed at the Olympic Trials in 2004. In 2005, she was named the Mondo Mid-Atlantic District Athlete of the Year and ranked ninth in the nation in the long jump. Most recently, Marshall competed at the 2007 Pan Am Games in Brazil, earning a

seventh-place finish in the long jump.

In 2005, Robinson was recognized for his outstanding track record as a coach. He was named the NCAA East Region Assistant Coach of the Year for Sprints/Hurdles by the US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The award was presented to only four coaches in the nation in that event area.

Robinson took over the reins of the women’s program in June of 2006 following Anthes’ retirement after a 23-year tenure as head coach. Upon his hire, Robinson continued to build on the excellence that came to define Rutgers women’s track and field.

In his first season as head coach, Robinson captured the 2007 Indoor and Outdoor Metropolitan Championship, produced two BIG EAST Conference champions, four NCAA Regional participants and a USATF Junior National All-American. His team also set three school records in his first year and since joining the Rutgers staff, Robinson’s athletes have established a total of 20 school records.

His athletes have secured 20 individual medals at the Met Championship as well as five All-BIG EAST and 17 All-East (ECAC) performances during his short time at the helm of the program. This past fall Cheyenne Ogeltree, a cross country and track standout, advanced to the NCAA Cross Country Champion-ships. It marked the first time since 2002 that a Rutgers runner qualified for the national champi-onship meet.

In addition to striving to achieve success in the track and field arena, Robinson continues to drive his student-athletes in the classroom as evident by his 30 BIG EAST Academic All-Star honorees.

A 1995 graduate of Rutgers University, Robinson was a consistent scorer and runner-up in both the long jump and triple jump at the Metropolitan and Atlantic 10 Conference Championships in each of his four seasons as a Scarlet Knight. He served as a team captain and was the recipient of the Colin D. McManus Award, which is presented to the student-athlete who has demonstrated tremendous improve-ment through self-sacrifice and dedication.

During his competitive years at Rutgers, Robinson was a nine-time qualifier for the IC4A Championships in both events and a member of three Metropolitan Championship teams.

Robinson currently resides in Trenton, N.J.

Richard L. McCormick is the 19th president of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. A scholar of American political history who began his academic career on the Rutgers faculty, he returned as president in 2002 after serving as provost of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and president of the University of Washington.

Dr. McCormick’s goal is to advance Rutgers within the top tier of American public research universities. His ambitions for the university include an enriched learning experience for every student; teaching and research focused on global human prob-lems; diversity of students, faculty, staff, and programs; and deeper connections with the people of New Jersey.

President McCormick led a major restructuring and reinvigoration of undergradu-ate education at Rutgers-New Brunswick, the university’s largest campus. The plan, approved in 2006, merged four undergraduate colleges into a School of Arts and Sciences, expanded access to academic programs and learning communities, and established a popular First-Year Seminar program that offers more than 100

courses – each with no more than 20 students – on a wide range of topics taught by top faculty.

Other initiatives undertaken during Dr. McCormick’s tenure include: • Establishment of the first-ever universitywide alumni body, the Rutgers University Alumni Association.• The Rutgers Faculty Traveling Seminar, an annual week-long tour of New Jersey for new faculty.• The Rutgers Future Scholars Program, a pilot project to encourage minority and low-income teenagers from the university’s host cities to pursue higher education by offering mentorship and college preparation support, and the promise of free tuition to those admitted to Rutgers.• Rutgers-Camden’s first-ever doctoral-level academic program, a Ph.D. in childhood studies – the first in the nation in this emerging discipline.• Establishment of the School of Public Affairs and Administration, Rutgers-Newark’s first new school in more than three decades.

Born in 1947, President McCormick earned a B.A. in American studies from Amherst College in 1969 and a Ph.D. in history from Yale University in 1976. He is married to Joan Barry McCor-mick, RU ’88. She is a Vice President at the Saint Peter’s Healthcare System in New Brunswick. Dr. McCormick has two children, Betsy and Michael.

A lifetime New Jersey native with a strong passion for his alma mater, Tim Pernetti has come full-circle in becoming one of the nation’s youngest leaders in college athletics. A former student-athlete “On the Banks”, Pernetti was named Rutgers’ sixth Director of Intercollegiate of Athletics on February 26, 2009. He will oversee 24 men’s and women’s intercolle-giate teams in New Brunswick, a larger number than fielded at most of the university’s peer institutions. The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics has 212 employees and an annual budget of approximately $56 million, roughly 3 percent of the university’s total $1.8 billion budget.

Pernetti has been influential in the world of college athletics since he received a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass media from Rutgers in 1993, and a master’s degree in communication in 1995.

Prior to returning to Rutgers, Pernetti was the Executive Vice President, Con-tent, for CBS College Sports Network. In that role, he oversaw the rights and relationship business, on-air talent, and all network programming and content on air, online and across all screens for the nation’s first company dedicated to college sports.

Pernetti helped to build the CBS College Sports Network, previously CSTV, prior to its launch in 2003, and has played a critical role in establishing it as the multi-media leader in college sports programming, content, news and information. He was a recipient of the prestigious Sports Business Journal Forty under Forty Award, and the Multichannel News 40 under 40 Award both in 2008.

Charged with developing relationships, acquiring rights and creating multi-platform original programming for the first ever 24-hour sports college sports network, Pernetti successfully navigated through a complicated web of media rights deals to come up with new ways to serve college sports fans. Pernetti worked closely with the NCAA and hundreds of schools in every major confer-ence, securing over 2,500 hours of event programming each year and multiple NCAA Championships across 35 men’s and women’s sports. Pernetti was in charge of the CBS College Sports Network exclusive long-term agreements with the US Naval Academy, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, and the Atlantic 10.

Further he managed company relationships with more than 30 conferences and thousands of institutions. Pernetti remains most proud of establishing a strong relationship in women’s collegiate sports including the establishment of a wom-en’s basketball game of the week package in 2004 with the Big East Conference.

In 2006, Pernetti spearheaded a landmark multi-media partnership with the NCAA to make CBS College Sports Network the home of Division II Sports. The innovative deal effectively increased the scope and reach of NCAA Division II sports with hundreds of games now available nationally via the broadcast network and online. Pernetti’s commitment to providing greater exposure to women’s and under-served sports is evidenced by the network’s unprecedented coverage of lacrosse and volleyball, among others. He has also been at the fore-front of the development and creation of the Collegiate Nationals, which crowns

champions in dozens of high endurance sports, and innovative original produc-tion including CBS College Sports Network’s groundbreaking NCAA March Madness Central, NCAA March Madness Highlights on CBS College Sports, and the WIRED franchise which gives viewers an inside look at games and events through wireless microphones on coaches during game action.

Prior to joining CBS College Sports Network, Pernetti served eight years at ABC-TV and ABC Sports most recently as Director of Programming, where he was integral in acquiring, managing and developing several ABC Sports properties including college football, the Bowl Championship Series, and college basketball. For five years, Pernetti handled relationships and negotiated television rights with all of the major collegiate conferences.

As a student at Rutgers, Pernetti was a four-year letterwinner at tight end on the Rutgers football squad. He was also the color commentator for Rutgers Football on the Rutgers Football Radio Network and announced weekly NFL games nationally on Sports USA Radio.

A resident of Oakland, N.J., Pernetti is married to the former Danielle Bahto. His wife also graduated from Rutgers and was a letterwinner on the women’s lacrosse team. Danielle and Tim are the proud parents of their three children – Max, Conor and Natalie.

18 2010 RUTGERS TRACK & FIELD

A BRIEF HISTORYRutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is one of the leading universities in the nation. The university is comprised of 27 degree-granting divisions; 10 undergraduate colleges, 11 graduate schools, and six schools offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Five are located in Camden, eight in Newark, and 13 in New Brunswick and one in Newark and New Brunswick.

Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. Chartered in 1766 as Queen’s College, the eighth institution of higher learning to be founded in the colonies, the school opened its doors in New Brunswick in 1771 with a handful of first-year students. During its early years, the college developed as a classic liberal arts institution. In 1825, the name of the college was changed to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers.

Rutgers College became the land-grant college of New Jersey in 1864, resulting in the establishment of the Rutgers Scientific School, featuring departments of agriculture, engineering, and chemistry. Further expansion in the sciences came with the founding of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station in 1880, the College of Engineering (now the School of Engineering) in 1914, and the College of Agriculture (now the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) in 1921. The precursors to several other Rutgers divisions were also established during this period: the College of Pharmacy (now the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy) in 1892, the New Jersey College for Women (now part of the School of Arts and Sciences) in 1918, and the School of Education in 1924.

In 1924, Rutgers College officially became Rutgers University, a reflection of the institution’s rapidly expanding number of schools and academic programs. Early in the century, Rutgers had begun offering educational opportunities to women when the New Jersey College for Women (later Douglass College) was founded in 1918, and to adult learners when University College was established in 1934. After World War II, enrollment exploded as Rutgers admitted all qualified candidates under the GI Bill. Rutgers was becoming an institution for all people, and in 1945 and 1956, state legislative acts formally designated Rutgers as The State University of New Jersey.

A flurry of expansion ensued. The University of Newark (now Rutgers–Newark) joined Rutgers in 1946, followed by the College of South Jersey (now Rutgers–Camden) in 1950. An ambi-tious building program added libraries, classrooms, and student housing across the three regional campuses. In 1969, Livingston College opened, providing a coeducational residential experience with a special commitment to diversity. Graduate education in the arts and sciences grew through the establishment of the Graduate School–New Brunswick, the Graduate School–Newark, and the Graduate School–Camden. Professional schools were formed to serve students in the fields of business; communication, information, and library studies; criminal justice; education; fine arts; law; management and labor relations; nursing; planning and public policy; psychology; public affairs and administration; and social work. Meanwhile, as industry and government sought partners in solving problems and advancing knowledge, the concept of the research university emerged.

In 1981, Rutgers adopted a blueprint for its transformation into a major public research university. With increased support from state, federal, and corporate partners, Rutgers’ strength in research grew dramatically. In 1989, in recognition of its enhanced stature, Rutgers was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an organization comprising the top 62 research universities in North America. Today, professors and students work in more than 180 specialized research centers, unraveling mysteries in marine sciences, early childhood education, neuroscience, advanced materials, climate change, nutrition, homeland security, transportation, stem cells, and many other areas that can improve life both in New Jersey and around the world.

A 2007 major reorganization of undergraduate education in New Brunswick reinvigorated the undergraduate experience for both students and faculty by combining the traditions and strengths of four undergraduate liberal arts colleges—Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and University—into a single School of Arts and Sciences.

With 27 schools and colleges, Rutgers offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 100 graduate and professional degree programs. The university graduates more than 10,000 students each year, and has more than 350,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states and on six continents. Rutgers also sponsors community initiatives in all 21 New Jersey counties. Universitywide, new degree programs, research endeavors, and community outreach are in development to meet the demands of the 21st century. Today, Rutgers continues to grow, both in its facilities and in the variety and depth of its educational and research programs. The university’s goals for the future include the continued provision of the highest quality education, along with the increased support of research and commitment to public service to meet the needs of society.
