USAO is one of the most unique and progressive universities in the nation. It is Oklahoma’s only public liberal arts college. As a liberal arts institution, we believe it is important that students always have before them the simultaneous experience of specialized and general learning. We believe it is important that they be challenged to relate their academic concentration to the broader realm of knowledge and that they continually be encouraged to develop meaningful and useful associations between diverse bodies of information.

about the univerSity

Not for livelihood but for life.

This is the meaning of interdisciplinary education, and it is what truly distinguishes the learning experience at USAO. Many of the classes are taught by faculty teams, where two, three and sometimes four instructors plan the course and teach it together. For example, American Civilization may be taught by a historian, philosopher and artist. World Thought and Culture could include a philosopher, sociologist and a literature professor. Math in the Modern World might involve a mathematician, computer scientist and musician. Instructors interact in dealing with complex topics, all bringing his or her particular academic concentration into a conversation of perspectives. This form of education is not easy. We intend that the rigors students face in interdisciplinary learning will result in significant personal growth and development. Difficulty is a necessary prerequisite of growth and development. Challenge is what interdisciplinary education is all about. It is what USAO is all about. USAO has an extremely qualified faculty to offer and help conquer this challenge. Now, almost 90 percent of professors have earned the highest degree available in their field. In 2011, USAO joined the prestigious list of “National Liberal Arts Colleges” in the U.S. News and World Report’s annual ranking — the only institution in Oklahoma, public or private, to be included on this select, national list. The same list includes Trinity, Amherst, Swarthmore and hundreds of other respected, private liberal arts colleges. USAO also received an ‘A’ grade from the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) for the strength of its IDS curriculum, making it one of only 22 universities nationwide to earn this near perfect score. No institution in Oklahoma has higher admission standards. This is only one of the ways this institution is being transformed by its 10-year Mission Enhancement Plan. In addition to the unique curriculum, USAO is a National Historic District and is the only college or university in Oklahoma to be on the National Register of Historic Places. It was given this status because of its history and the preservation of numerous original buildings on campus. Originally founded as Oklahoma College for Women in 1908, the school was the first college created by Oklahoma’s first Legislature. Additionally, it was one of only seven colleges nationwide developed with the mission of catering to women. Along with a rich history, USAO has the oldest original mission of any state college of university. Its original motto states:

We take great pride in the accomplishments of our students outside the classroom — and athletics is a prime example. In 2012, three Drover teams made appearances in NAIA National Championship tournaments as men’s soccer, men’s basketball and baseball all represented our fine institution on a national stage. These are just three recent examples of the school’s achievements. Throughout its rich 41 years of Drover athletics, the university boasts 48 All-Americans, 66 national scholar-athletes and 243 All-Conference athletes and coaches. I know you take pride in the accomplishments of your Drover teams – setting records, graduating excellent student athletes and helping create a vibrant campus culture. USAO also competes aggressively on a national level with the finest schools, public and private, and we’ve racked up several other “titles” that should add to your pride as a Drover: • USAO ranks No. 4 in America among peer colleges for “promoting upward social mobility,” according to Washington Monthly. Its “upward social mobility” measure is based upon USAO’s ratio of graduation rate of Pell Grant recipients to net price.

• USAO is the only institution in Oklahoma — public or private — to be ranked on the exclusive “National Liberal Arts Colleges” list in U.S. News’ America’s Best Colleges Guide. • The American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA) includes USAO in a group of only 21 colleges and universities nationwide accorded with the highest accolade for the best quality and content of its core academic curriculum. • Kiplinger magazine lists USAO on its exclusive national role of the 100 “Best Values in Public Colleges” in America. Thank you to all our students, alumni, faculty, staff and friends who continue to work to better the university every day. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you! Best of luck to the Drovers this season! Keep driving to be the best – and so will we!

President John Feaver

The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma was well into its history before introducing its first sports teams in 1973 — teams that became known as the Drovers and the Droverettes, named after the rich heritage of cattle driving in the Chickasha area. Today, both teams are referred to as the Drovers. The athletic programs began when the school was still named Oklahoma College of Liberal Arts. It started with baseball games and golf and tennis matches scheduled in the spring of 1973. The Drovers’ most prominent sport — basketball — began in the fall of 1973. During that first year of basketball, the Drovers borrowed uniforms from Oral Roberts University in blue, gold and white. In the school’s second season, the OCLA Drov-ers became the USAO Drovers, and new uniforms in our trademark green and gold colors were acquired. The first Drover basketball games were set against Beth-any Nazarene College on Nov. 17, 1973. Two days later, on Nov. 19, then-Chickasha Mayor Samuel E. Evans declared “Drovers Day” as the university celebrated its first home game in Myers Fieldhouse, which is owned by Chickasha Public Schools. In 1981, the Drovers broke ground on the USAO Fieldhouse, which gave the teams a place to prac-tice and play in their own backyard. Phase I of the building was completed during the 1981-82 season. Three more phases added dressing rooms, training areas and a swim-ming pool. Long-time head basketball coach and now athletic di-rector Brisco McPherson played for the first Drover bas-ketball team and has been connected with the program ever since. In 1984, basketball star Gordon Musgrove earned the university’s first All-American honor. A few seasons later, in 1988, Herb Blunt became USAO’s first All-America First Team recipient and earned Player of the Year honors in the Sooner Athletic Conference and NAIA’s District 9. In 2002, the men’s basketball team went on to claim the Drovers first NAIA National Championship, beating out conference-rival Oklahoma Baptist 96-79. After a 17-year hiatus, baseball was re-born in 1994, when the USAO Board of Regents voted to expand USAO’s athlet-ics programs to include baseball, softball and cross country. Long-time Drover sup-porter and USAO administrator Bill Smith donated his personal baseball memorabil-ia to auction off for funds to help re-estab-lish the Drover baseball and softball pro-grams. In 1995, he became the namesake of the Drovers’ ballpark. Both baseball and softball programs have served the university well, with base-ball earning the Red River Conference North Division Championship in 1999 and softball claiming the Sooner Athletic Conference Championship in 2004. The

softball program earned three straight NAIA National Tour-nament appearances in the mid-2000s while the baseball program represented the university at the NAIA National Tournament in 2013. USAO proudly supported tennis teams for years. In 1999, the women’s tennis team became the first in school history to win a regional championship. That year, both the men’s and women’s teams qualified for the NAIA National Tournament. While the golf team served the college sporadically for many seasons, it, along with tennis, was discontinued in lean years. In 1998, the Drovers began the men’s and women’s soc-cer programs under Coach Jimmy Hampton. The Drover men have claimed numerous Sooner Athletic Conference championships and have been to the NAIA National Tour-nament six times. In 2010 and 2011, the Drover men made it all the way to the quarterfinals of the tournament, making history for the young program. In 2011, the Drover women’s soccer team competed in their first NAIA National Tournament and won the Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament title for the first time in the program’s history. In 2014, the Drovers went 18-2 to claim their first regular season title. Beginning in fall of 2012, the Drovers brought back cross country, which served the university a few seasons in the mid-1990s. USAO began play as part of a five-school group that started the Sooner Athletic Conference. USAO dropped out of the SAC in 1994 briefly while participating in the Oklahoma Intercollegiate and Red River Athletic confer-ences, but was granted re-admission in the SAC for the 2000-01 season. It is one of only two original members currently in the conference. The Drovers have a rich history of winning and pro-ducing quality student-athletes. The university boasts 48 All-Americans, 66 NAIA Scholar-Athletes and 243 All-Con-ference coaches and athletes throughout its history.

MiKe roSShead coach The kinks have been worked out. The newness has worn off. And the legacy has started. Now, it’s just about the baseball. Head Coach Mike Ross is now entering his seventh year at the helm of USAO’s baseball program and has been responsible for one of the best seasons in program history. In 2013, Coach Ross’ Drovers earned their first bid to the NAIA Baseball National Championship Opening Round, broke the all-time wins record with 41 and had two players who signed with professional baseball fran-chises. That season, Ross also earned his first Sooner Athletic Confer-ence Coach of the Year honor. The 2013 season just built on Ross’ previous success. Each year since being named head coach, Ross has logged a winning season. In February 2012, Ross celebrated his 100th win in a victory over No. 1 Oklahoma City at home at Bill Smith Ballpark. The following year, the Drovers attended their fourth straight SAC Tour-

nament while claiming 27 wins on the season, the sixth most in school history. Ross is responsible for five of the six winningest seasons in school history. During the 2009 season as a co-head coach with long-time coach L.J. Powell, Ross took the Drovers to their second best record in school history and followed it a year later with the program’s fourth best season. Nu-merous players set school records and two were named All-Sooner Ath-letic Conference athletes. As a head coach, Ross has seen three NAIA All-Americans, 15

All-Conference athletes, a Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete and an NAIA Champion of Character from the program. Ross began his career at USAO as a student assistant from 2000-02 and was an assistant from 2005-08. Before re-joining Powell at USAO in 2005, Ross spent three years as an assistant coach at Vernon College, where he helped lead the Chaparrals to 30-plus wins two seasons in a row. He had brief stints coaching a premier league summer team in Burkbur-nett, Texas, and as an assistant coach in the 2004 Junior Olympic trials before finding his way back to his alma mater. Ross is a 2002 USAO grad-uate. As a player at Redlands Community College, Ross’ team became con-ference and regional champions and finished fifth in the JUCO World Series in 1995. The following year, Ross moved to Graceland University, where he played for three seasons, two of which he served as team captain. He set the school record for saves in both the 1998 and 1999 seasons and was named All-Conference in 1999. Ross earned his bachelor’s degree in history from USAO in 2002 and achieved a master’s of sports science in sports coaching from the United States Sports Academy in 2009. He lives in Chickasha with his wife, Robyn, their 7-year-old son, Brody, and 3-year-old son, Bryce.

Born: Oct. 27, 1983Education: B.S., physical education, USAO, 2007; Master’s, health, physical education and recreation, Emporia State, 2010Playing Career: Catcher, Vernon College, 2002-04; Catcher, Wayland Baptist, 2005-06Coaching Career: Assistant, Sul Ross State, 2010-12; Assistant, Univ. of the Southwest, 2007-10; Student Assistant, USAO, 2006-07Interesting Fact: Has two daughters, Carlie and Camryn

Just seven years after he grad-uated from USAO, Sam Hayden returned to his alma mater as the assistant baseball coach and helped the Drovers to a record-breaking season in 2013 that saw the pro-gram’s first NAIA Baseball National Championship Opening Round ap-pearance. Hayden said he is eager to help the program continue to make a strong presence in one of the tough-est conferences in the league. Not only did he earn his bachelor’s degree from USAO, but also USAO provided him with his first coaching opportunity — something he imme-diately fell in love with. Hayden was a student assistant for the Drover baseball team in 2007 while he was finishing up his degree. Before that, he spent two years as

catcher at Wayland Baptist and two years at Vernon College. All-in-all, Hayden had seven years of coaching experience to bring to USAO. Hayden joined the Drovers from Sul Ross State University, where he served as the assistant baseball coach for two years. Prior to that po-sition, he was the baseball assistant at the University of the Southwest. Hayden earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from USAO in 2007 and his master’s de-gree in health, physical education and recreation from Emporia State University in 2010. Hayden is married to Jennifer Hayden, USAO’s head women’s basketball coach. Together, they have two daughters, Carlie and Camryn.
