2 Coaches Head Coach Rudy Fuller James C. Gentle Head Coach of Men s Soccer 10th Season Georgetown 93 The James C. Gentle Head Coach of Men s Soccer, Rudy Fuller enters his 10th season at the helm of the University of Pennsylvania men s soccer program in In nine seasons at Penn, Fuller has elevated the Quakers notoriety in the Ivy League and nationally. From renovating Rhodes Field to recruiting some of the best players in the country and stacking the Quakers schedule with NCAA contenders, Fuller s club has established itself as one of the elite soccer programs in the country. In 2006, Penn finished and for second place in the Ivy League. The Quakers boasted the League s lowest goals-against average and return a solid core of defenders in Absent from the lineup will be goalkeeper Daniel Cepero who, after completing his time with the Quakers, was drafted by the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer. He is the second Quaker-turned-pro under Fuller. Keeper Matthew Haefner did the same in Each of Fuller s nine seasons has brought some new success. In 2005, the Quakers finished 9-6-1, were ranked as high as No. 18 nationally and won the Philadelphia Soccer Seven (PS7) title. Fuller was named the PS7 Coach of the Year an honor he had previously earned in 2001 and 2002 and received again in At the beginning of the decade, the program went from the basement of the Ivy League to champions in two seasons. The 2002 Penn squad finished with a record, captured its first Ivy League championship in 22 years, earned its first NCAA Tournament bid in 25 years and its first NCAA Tournament win in 29 years. Penn was ranked as high as 14th in the nation during the season and spent much of the year in the Top 25. Penn goalkeeper Haefner was named thirdteam NSCAA All-America, becoming Penn s first All- America since Haefner also became Penn s first men s soccer player to be named Ivy League Player of the Year. Following the season, Fuller was named the 2002 Mid-Atlantic Region Coach of the Year by the NSCAA and 2002 Men s Soccer Coach of the Year by the SEP- SCA. The Quakers set three program records in 2002 shutouts in a season (10), lowest goals-against average (0.45) and highest save percentage in a season (.923). The 2002 squad also allowed the second-fewest goals in the program s history in a single season with seven. Haefner also set individual goalkeeping records that reflected the team marks from One of Fuller s strongest attributes is his ability to develop players in his program and allow them to reach their potential on the soccer field. In 2001, the Quakers claimed their first-ever outright PS7 title. In 2002, the team had seven players earn All-Ivy honors, four players were named NSCAA All-Mid Atlantic Region, and four players were named to the PS7 All-Star Team. Penn also became the home to the PS7 Freshman of the Year (John Rhodes). All told Fuller has coached 21 players to 35 All-Ivy honors, nine NSCAA All-Mid Atlantic Region and 12 (17 honors) PS7 All-Stars. Fuller s student-athletes have also excelled in the classroom during his tenure. Penn has found itself among the best and brightest and has been honored with the National Soccer Coaches Association of America s Team Academic Award for the past eight seasons. The Quakers team GPA has been in the top- 10 nationwide in each of the past eight years, and in 2000, they earned the highest GPA of any Division I men s soccer program. Penn is one of just 14 institutions and the only Ivy League school to have both its men s and women s soccer teams honored by the NSCAA for its academics, and it has happened six times. Prior to Penn, Fuller played a major role as a student-athlete and coach in building a successful program at Georgetown University. While coaching at Georgetown, Fuller helped guide the Hoyas to the first two NCAA tournaments in their history and the NCAA Round of 16 in Fuller is a former member of the Maryland Olympic Development Program (ODP) Staff, and more recently, both the Region I ODP and the Eastern Pennsylvania (EPa) ODP. In 2002, Fuller helped lead the EPa 1984 Boys ODP team to the National Championship, and his EPa 1987 Boys ODP team was a Region I ODP Championship finalist. Fuller has now led the last six ODP teams he has coached to the Region I finals and has captured four titles. Prior to joining the Region I and Eastern Pennsylvania staffs, Fuller was a part of the Maryland ODP for 13 years, four as a player and nine as a coach. Fuller served on the NCAA Division I Men s Soccer Committee and was chair of the NCAA Division I Middle Atlantic Regional Advisory Committee. He also sat on the NSCAA/adidas College Ranking Committee for the Mid-Atlantic Region and is a member of the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. Fuller, a USSF A Licensed coached, graduated from Georgetown University with a bachelor of science in business administration in 1993 and earned his MBA degree at Villanova in He founded and currently serves as the director of the Elite 300 Soccer Academy.

Rob IRVINE Assistant Coach Second Season Syracuse 98 Michael O CONNOR Volunteer Goalkeeping Coach Third Season Penn 00 Robert Irvine enters his second season with the Quakers after joining the staff in August Irvine arrived in Philadelphia after a successful two-year stint at College of the Southwest an NAIA school located in Hobbs, N.M. as head coach of both the men s and women s teams. He led the Mustang men to back-to-back winning records and berths in the Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) tournament semifinal round. He compiled a two-year record of 22-14, and was the 2004 RRAC Men s Co- Coach of the Year. During his tenure, six players earned first-team all-conference and seven were second-team selections. On the women s side duties that he relinquished following the 2005 season Irvine put together consecutive winning seasons (a combined ) and RRAC tournament appearances. He was the conference s Coach of the Year in 2004 and followed that up with Co-Coach of the Year honors Irvine had women earn Red River Athletic Conference Offensive Player of the Year (2004), Defensive Player of the Year (2004 and 2005) and Newcomer of the Year (2005). Eight of Irvine s women were first-team All- RRAC selections, and seven were second-team picks, and he also had seven players earn NAIA Regional VI honors. At the Division I level, Irvine spent three seasons ( ) as an assistant coach for his alma mater, Syracuse University. During that time, he earned his masters in public administration at Syracuse. During his tenure, the Orange had a player earn Soccer America Freshman of the Year (Jarett Park in 2001) and another, Chris Aloisi, selected in the 2004 Major League Soccer (MLS) SuperDraft. In addition, Irvine coached three players who helped Canada to a quarterfinal berth at the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship. Irvine also has experience coaching at the Olympic Development Program (ODP) level, as he was a staff coach for the Region IV camp in He currently holds an A license from the United States Soccer Federation (USSF). Irvine enjoyed a successful playing career before he jumped into coaching. A two-time captain at Syracuse, he played for Canada s Under-17 national team at that age group s World Cup Qualifying Tournament in 1991, and in 1993 and 1994 he was in Canada s Olympic Soccer Team pool of players. Irvine also played professionally for a number of years. PennAthletics.com Michael O Connor is entering his third season as an assistant coach with the Penn men s soccer team. A veteran of Penn soccer, O Connor was a goalkeeper during his time in the Red and Blue uniform, and works primarily as the goalkeeping coach. In 2005, O Connor coached goalkeeper Dan Cepero to an outstanding season that included eight shutouts in 16 games. Cepero repeated the eight clean sheets in 2006 and was drafted to the MLS New York Red Bulls. O Connor brings a wealth of collegiate and professional soccer experience to the Quakers. He played at Penn from , earning All-Ivy honors all four years and capturing the Ivy League Rookie of the Year award in An All-Mid-Atlantic Region selection that year as well, O Connor went on to be a two-year captain and Academic All-Ivy honoree.

4 2007 Outlook Penn returns eight starters from its 2006 squad that finished second in the Ivy League (9-4-2, 5-1-1). Four of the team s top five scorers return, and five players who scored two or more goals last year are back. Eight of 10 goalscorers from last season, and 79.7 percent of Penn s point production (55 of 69 points) from a year ago, return for Of Penn s four losses last season, three were decided by one goal and one was an overtime decision. Penn played 72 extra minutes over five overtime games last season and came up with a record in those games. The Quakers stingy defense was the best in the Ivy League in They led the league in goals-against average (0.76), goals allowed (12) and shutouts (8). The returning cast of Quakers include a threeman senior class of All-Ivy selections Derek Hobson (3g,2a) and Keith Vereb (2g), along with Jeffrey Livingston. What s the best part about coaching at Penn? Above all else, I value the relationships I have with my student-athletes, our alumni, my colleagues in the Athletics Department, and the Penn community as a whole. The people on and around campus are what make Penn such a special place. In addition, I enjoy our campus environment and the city of Philadelphia. The University City and the greater West Philadelphia neighborhood are diverse communities with so much to offer someone socially and culturally. Last, but certainly not least, I appreciate the opportunity that the University and athletic administration have given our soccer program to compete at the highest level in the Ivy League and nationally. Our program has experienced tremendous growth in the past decade, and I look forward to continued growth and success in the years ahead. What do you tell prospective student-athletes about Penn and your program? Most importantly, we want people who are passionate about Penn. It is the key to our success. Penn students athletes and non-athletes alike truly enjoy themselves at Penn and I believe it is a direct result of that passion. It shows up in everything they do academically, athletically, and socially. Our soccer program is no different. We are very proud of our history, and look to our future with tremendous excitement. We want student-athletes who share our program s vision and are eager to be a part of it. 4 This season s junior class is loaded with a large nine-man returning class (including five 2006 starters) and three transfers. Mike Klein, Kevin Unger, Alex Grendi and Omid Shokoufandeh continued to impress in their sophomore season with Klein repeating as the team s leading scorer (three goals, eight assists). Unger boasted four goals, while Grendi contributed two goals and three assists. Shokoufandeh had six points (1g,4a). Rounding out the class of 2009 are the defenseminded John Elicker and Ryan Porch as well as off-the-bench contributors Andrew Ferry and Joshua Baugh. In addition, Georgetown transfers Alex Fairman (defender), Richard Frank (forward) and Brian Mascarenhas (midfield) will join the class. The most notable loss is goalkeeper Dan Cepero C 07 who played every minute of the last two seasons and stonewalled opponents in 23 career shutouts (a Penn record). He was a unanimous All-Ivy selection and named the PS7 Player of the Year. His solid play turned heads nationally and he was drafted by and later signed with the Red Bull New York of Major League Soccer. Quoting Rudy Fuller... we want people who are passionate about Penn. It is the key to our success. What is it like coaching in Philadelphia with six other Division I soccer programs in town? Philadelphia is a soccer city. It is one of the best soccer environments in the country, and college soccer is an important part of the soccer experience in Philadelphia. There are so many young men and women who attended one of the schools in the area and still follow and support their team enthusiastically. There is always a little more on the line when two Philadelphia teams play each other. There is a tremendous amount of passion and every team wants to be considered the best in the city. In addition, there are a number of strong DIII programs as well as historic amateur soccer clubs and nationally competitive youth clubs that play a significant role in the Philadelphia soccer community. When you put all of those pieces together, you get an impressive array of very sophisticated soccer fans. The Quakers will choose from three keepers currently vying for starting rights junior Drew Healy, sophomore Kevin Sweetland and newcomer Ben Berg. Part of Cepero s success was due to a solid backline, which returns three of its four members. Seniors Vereb and Livingston and juniors Elicker and Porch along with the graduated Andy Howard C 07 anchored the defense last year. Sophomore Lee Rubenstein saw time in three games in the backfield. This year, after opening on Labor Day at Seton Hall, the Quakers will head to California for the adidas Cal Legacy Classic. They will face host Cal as well as Stanford before returning home to host Hartwick and La Salle in search of their fourth consecutive Penn Soccer Classic title. Penn will take on tough regional competition, looking to avenge two losses from last season against Lehigh and American. The Red and Blue will travel to Penn State to add some Big Ten flavor in September and close out the month with a trip to City Line for a PS7 match vs. Saint Joseph s. Rutgers rounds out the non-league lineup in a rematch of last season s rained-out bout before Penn dives into the Ivy League slate. What does playing at a school with so much regional competition add to level of competition? We are fortunate to have so many quality teams in our region. It allows us to create a schedule each year that gives our team an opportunity to challenge itself against some of the top programs in the country. In addition, our program aspires to win championships and play in the NCAA Tournament. To make the NCAAs, we must either win the Ivy League championship and gain the automatic berth that goes along with it or earn one of the NCAA s at-large bids. Scheduling has taken on a greater importance in the at-large selections, and the strength of our region certainly gives us ample opportunity to test ourselves against the nation s best while positioning ourselves for an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. What makes Ivy League soccer special? History... Tradition... Passion. The Ivy League is certainly a special conference. The parity within the League and the fact that our regular-season champion gains the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament makes each and every game an enthralling affair. On top of that, we are annually rated one of the top soccer conferences in the country. In 2006, the Ivy League finished as one of the top four conferences in the country based on the RPI, ahead of scholarship conferences such as the Big East, Conference USA, West Coast Conference, Big West, Colonial and the Patriot League. When one considers the combination of a world-class education and nationally competitive soccer experience, it is easy to see what makes the Ivy League so unique Penn Men s Soccer

Led by one of the best goalkeepers in Penn s history, Daniel Cepero, the Red and Blue posted a record, went in Ivies (good for second place behind Harvard), and posted the lowest goals-against average in the League. The thrilling performances of the Quakers kept them at the top of the Ivy standings for most of the season, but they were nudged out of the title hunt in the final game of the season. As if having the Ivy title narrowly evade them was not cruel enough, adding insult to injury, Penn was overlooked for an at-large placement in the NCAA tournament. Still, the Red and Blue s second-place standing was its best finish since the winning the title in Just days before learning their post-season fate, the Quakers had done what no other Penn team had done in more than 20 years defeat Princeton, at Princeton. The brisk fall day, combined with the ageold Penn-Princeton rivalry and overtime drama, made the game one to remember. Sophomore Kevin Unger scored the final blow, with help from the season s top scorer, Mike Klein. Klein led the team in points and assists and marked a career night with five points off two goals and an assist against St. Joseph s at the Penn Soccer Classic in September. Six players gained recognition from the Ivy League at the end of the season. Cepero was a unanimous All-Ivy first team selection and junior Keith Vereb joined him on the top team. Derek Hobson, Klein and Alex Grendi were named to the second team and Ryan Tracy received note as an honorable mention. Penn went 4-2 in non-league play before rolling into the Ivies beginning with Harvard, the eventual champion, on Sept. 23. The Quakers handed the Crimson a 3-1 decision, one of just five losses Harvard would suffer in a 14-5 season. After a quick trip to Ithaca, N.Y., to defeat Cornell 1-0, Penn returned home to play the first of five overtime games on the season. A scoreless tie was the result after 110 minutes of action against a vigorous Seton Hall. Next up was an overtime win against Columbia, in eerily similar circumstances from the previous year in New York City a windy and rainy night game, and a Penn striker from Wisconsin nailed the overtime winner. Last season it was Klein; this season Unger was the hero with less than three minutes to go in the second overtime. Penn also played extra minutes against American (2-1 loss), Brown (0-0 tie) and Princeton (1-0 win). Penn nearly doubled its opponents goal production (23-12) thanks in large part to the superior goalkeeping of Cepero. The senior captain held steady in the goal for eight season shutouts. In his career, he became far and away the leader in Penn s history with 23 career clean sheets. Even prior to his final season, Cepero had etched his name in several places in the history book. Cepero s stellar career at Penn turned heads nationally and in January, he was selected by the New York Red Bulls in the fourth round of the Major League Soccer (MLS) Supplemental Draft and signed a developmental contract with the team in March. He is the second Quaker coached by Head Coach Rudy Fuller to be drafted to and play in the MLS.

20 Facilities Rhodes Field The athletic and academic successes of Fuller s teams, along with that of the women s soccer program, have energized the proud tradition of Penn soccer. The alumni of the Red and Blue showed their approval through support and generosity highlighted by the 2002 christening of Penn Soccer s new home Rhodes Field. The new stadium was dedicated at Homecoming on Nov. 2, 2002 after $1 million was raised in the three years prior. Rhodes Field s beautiful brick facade with elevated spectator seating for 650 and the Rapaport Family Suite makes the facility one of the top soccer facilities in the Ivy League and one of the best in the country. Lights were added at the during the 2005 season. The return of nighttime soccer brought rave reviews from the packed crowds in an exciting atmosphere at home games. The installation of the floodlights were made possible by the generosity of Marc Rapaport W 79. The grass playing surface is continuously and meticulously maintained with only collegiate soccer contests permitted on the field throughout the year. Set beneath the Philadelphia skyline on the west bank of the Schuylkill River, Rhodes Field is easy to walk to from Penn s main campus, as well as to drive to from various highways Penn Soccer Classic Penn again welcomes three of the region s best team to Rhodes Field for the 2007 Penn Soccer Classic on Sept. 15 and 17.

21 Penn Men s Soccer James D. Dunning, Jr. Coaches Center The James D. Dunning, Jr. Coaches Center, which was dedicated in 1999, houses the coaching offices of 18 intercollegiate sports programs at Penn, including men s soccer. Conveniently located adjacent to Franklin Field and Weightman Hall, the Dunning Coaches Center also provides invaluable space for team meetings, recruiting visits and alumni events for the entire Penn Athletic Department. The building was first built in 1906 for the University s first director of the department of physical education J. William White and served originally as a training facility and lounge for Penn athletes, their guests and alumni. In 1995, the University invested more than $1 million for the restoration of the exterior of the building, and in 1999 Penn alum James D. Dunning, Jr., W 70 was the lead donor in the restoration project that is now a first-class meeting and recruiting space. George A. Weiss Weightroom The 5,000 square-foot George A. Weiss Weight Room is equipped with more than nine tons of free weights and includes 15 Olympic lifting platforms, 14 freestanding rack areas and 11 flat benches. Sorinex, Pyramid, Nautilus, Eleiko, Ivanko, Paramount, King Fitness and York supply the weightlifting equipment. Aerobic equipment includes Tectrix and Star Trec stair climbers and stationary bikes and Pre Cor elliptical cross-trainers. Both floors of the complex feature Tufflex (rubber) flooring and the rooms are individually temperature controlled. In addition, windowed walls on both levels allow for natural sunlight. This fall, construction is expected to begin on a new, 22,000-square-foot weight room facility located within Franklin Field. The current weight room will be converted into a new, more expansive training room. George A. Munger Training Room The George A. Munger Training Room houses the Penn athletic department s six full-time and three part-time athletic trainers on a daily basis. These qualified professionals, who provide coverage at both home and away events, see more than 100 student-athletes per day and utilize advanced medical techniques to get them back to the track, courts, fields and pools as quickly as possible. A part of the Munger Complex, the Munger Training Room is located in the back of historic Franklin Field and is easily accessible during practice and intercollegiate contests. The training room is equipped with therapeutic modalities, hydrotherapy including two whirlpools, taping areas which also include the use of splinting and padding, and provides rehabilitation exercise space where studentathletes can use weights and therabands. The facility also contains a heart defibrillator that is easily accessible. The training room staff is on-site seven days a week during the school year to provide medical care. PennAthletics.com Sports Medicine The University of Pennsylvania Sports Medicine Center provides state-of-theart medical care to the student-athlete and the community. The center, which is located on the ground floor of Weightman Hall, approaches sports medicine with a multidisciplinary approach, providing services in orthopaedic surgery, family practice, podiatry, physiatry, radiology and physical therapy. The University of Pennsylvania Sports Medicine Center, which was established in 1978, is one of the oldest sports medicine centers in the nation and recently underwent a major renovation in Sports Psychology Training your mind, as well as your body, is important for Penn s 1,000 student-athletes. Dr. Joel Fish is entering his sixth year as a sport psychologist for the Penn Athletic Department. He and his staff are available to work with Penn student-athletes, teams, and coaches in order to develop their mental skills for peak performance. Strategies are designed to help student-athletes and teams improve skills related to relaxation, focus, clutch performance, mental preparation, a positive attitude, motivation, leadership and teamwork. In addition, Dr. Fish and his staff work individually with student-athletes on stress management, personal relationships, and other off-the-field issues that have an impact upon athletic performance. 21

22 Welcome to Penn BENJAMIN FRANKLIN is well-known for his many inventions, including bifocals, the lightning rod and the Franklin stove. We like to think of The University of Pennsylvania as one of Franklin's biggest and best inventions one that continues to flourish centuries after its founding. In his Proposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pensilvania (1749), Franklin outlined a progressive college: one that would offer practical as well as classical instruction in order to prepare youth for real-world pursuits. Franklin s spirit of free inquiry and learning in the service of society continues to guide the University today. Founder of The University of Pennsylvania and creator of many principles still in use today, Franklin stands in front of Weightman Hall, a 100-year-old building that houses the administrative offices for Penn s Athletic Department as well as the football offices.

24 You Can Afford Penn Financial Aid We urge you not to let financial concerns deter you from applying to Penn. We make every effort to help meet students financial needs, as illustrated by these facts: Almost 62 percent of Penn freshmen receive some form of financial assistance. Nearly 40 percent of Penn undergraduates are awarded need-based grant aid. Approximately 74 percent of the freshmen who applied for financial aid for the academic year received a need-based award. The average financial aid for incoming aided freshmen in 2007 was $32,243 (combination of grant, loan and work-study job). The average grant for incoming aided freshmen in 2007 was $27,512 For , Penn committed approximately $91.3 million of its resources for grant aid to undergraduate students. For , 45 percent of incoming freshmen do not have any loans in their financial aid package Eligibility There is no arbitrary income cut-off for financial aid eligibility. Because each family is different and financial aid is determined by many factors, we encourage you to apply even if you are concerned about your ability to pay. What is a Financial Aid Award? A financial aid award, or package, typically includes a federal work-study job, student loan and, in most cases, grant. Penn participates in all federal assistance and state programs to provide students with a comprehensive financial aid program to meet 100 percent of your determined need. Penn offers Annenberg, Trustee and Leadership Scholarships to students with extraordinary academic, leadership and/or extra-curricular experience who also have financial need. Recipients of these scholarships receive aid packages to meet their determined need without a student loan component. There is no separate application for these awards; all financial aid applicants will be considered. Your need is determined from data you provide on your financial aid application and your parents and your most recent tax returns.the following are considered in calculating financial need: Family size Your income and assets Your parents income and assets The number of family members enrolled in college Extraordinary or unusual family circumstances Penn does not rely on the federally-calculated family contribution, but instead carefully reviews all aid applications in order to allocate available aid resources as equitably and effectively as possible. Financial information from both parents, even if they are divorced or separated, is used to determine financial need. How Financial Aid is Determined Financial aid at Penn is awarded based on financial need as determined by Student Financial Services. Financial need is the difference between Penn s costs and the amount your family is expected to contribute (Educational Expense Budget - Family Contribution = Financial Need). Penn reviews all applications individually, and does not rely on the Federal EFC (Expected Family Contribution). How to Apply for Aid Complete the College Board PROFILE application, Penn s Form 6 and a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). Copies of your parents and your tax returns and W-2 forms will also be required. Details also are in the undergraduate admissions application. Students and their families are also encouraged to contact Student Financial Services at: 100 Franklin Building, 3451 Walnut Street Philadelphia, PA Phone: [email protected] For additional information on topics such as educational tax credits and current interest rates on parent and student loans, please visit Penn Men s Soccer

25 Focus on Academics The success of University of Pennsylvania athletic programs weighs largely on the academic progress of each student-athlete. In order to achieve excellence in all areas, Penn s student-athletes are encouraged to utilize services available through its academic services program, which is coordinated by Rosemarie Burnett. The Office of Academic Services works to ensure that all student-athletes maintain academic integrity while making satisfactory progress toward a degree. To this end, study sessions, tutoring in groups or on an individual basis, and counseling are made available to every student-athlete at the University. A student-athlete who is successful in the classroom is usually also a successful player on the field. The commitment to academic and athletic excellence requires discipline, dedication and motivation. These are the same characteristics needed for a Penn student-athlete to succeed beyond the walls of the University after earning a degree from one of the most prestigious institutions in the country. Grade-Tracking Program The Grade-Tracking Program is designed to monitor the academic progress of targeted student-athletes during the academic year. Student-athletes selected for this program include those on academic probation and those identified by their school eligibility officer, dean or coach. Information acquired from the faculty and deans is used as the basis of student-athlete referrals to the appropriate academic support service resources. CAAP... Collegiate Academic Achievement Program The Collegiate Academic Achievement Program (CAAP) is designed to provide student-athletes with supplemental study and tutoring opportunities as well as foster academic interaction with fellow student-athletes. In fact, some of our CAAP tutors are current student-athletes! During the academic year, classrooms are reserved for advising and tutoring sessions. Workshops are conducted in the beginning of the term on strategies for succeeding at Penn. In addition, graduate school and career informational sessions are organized during the academic year. CAAP sessions are held at a variety of times throughout the week. Laptop Computer Program Laptop computers are provided to student-athletes for use while they are away from campus for competition or while they are participating in required practices and competition during vacation periods. The laptop computers (as available) may be used by any in-season varsity student-athlete whose participation in the next scheduled competition has been confirmed by his or her coaching staff. Penn provides assistance with the student-athlete s academic progress by working with the University s support services to enable the student to excel academically. The Academic Services Office staff can provide valuable assistance with a wide variety of concerns including: University procedures Educational and career goals clarification Time management Referrals to University resources General strategies for succeeding at Penn 19 CoSIDA National Academic All-Americans Every year, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) elect Academic All-Americans in several sports.

27 Penn Traditions School Colors There are several stories concerning the origin of Penn s colors. One tale explains that George Washington, having been invited to a Pennsylvania Commencement to receive the first presidential honorary degree, donned his best uniform blue tunic trimmed in red. Mention of his attire was the first official recording of colors at a Penn function, and the use of red and blue continues as a mark of deference to our Founding Father. Another legend, perhaps more plausible, concerns an early track meet at Saratoga, N.Y., between Penn, Harvard and Yale. When asked by the meet s officials what colors would be representing the Penn faction, the Pennsylvania captain replied, we re going to be wearing the colors of the teams we beat, ie. Harvard Crimson and Yale Blue. We shall assume that Penn was victorious, and thus loyalty to the red and blue was sworn. In all seriousness, the University of Pennsylvania has used different shades of red and blue at different times over the past century. Yet the University has been faithful to a resolution adopted by the Trustees nearly a century ago, on May 17, 1910: The colors shall be red and blue...the colors shall conform to the present standards used by the United States Government in its flags. These are the colors used today. Ivy Day One of the oldest traditions at Penn is Ivy Day, when the graduating class plants Ivy by a building and an Ivy Stone is placed on a building to commemorate the occasion. In 1981, the day was officially moved to the Saturday preceeding Commencement. Also on this Saturday, the prestigious Spoon, Bowl, Spade and Cane awards are given to four senior men, while the Harnwell, Goddard, The Red and Blue By Harry E. Westervelt 1898 Music By William J. Goechel 1896 Come all ye loyal classmen now, in hall and campus through, Lift up your hearts and voices for the royal Red and Blue. Fair Harvard has her crimson, Old Yale her colors too. But for dear Pennsylvania, we wear the Red and Blue. Chorus: Hurrah! Hurrah! Pennsylvan-I-ah! Hurrah for the Red and Blue! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah for the Red and Blue! Brownlee and Hottel awards are presented to four senior women. During this celebration, an address is given by a prominent speaker chosen by the class recent Ivy Day addresses have been presented by Penn parent Joan Rivers and basketball great Julius Erving. The Penn Band The Penn Band, which proudly deems itself as the most dedicated and school spirited group on the Penn campus, has been a bastion of music and mirth at the University of Pennsylvania for more than a century. Win or lose, the members of the group are diehard fans of the athletic teams they support through performance. The organization is an extremely active one, performing several dozen times from late August through late May during each academic year. Unlike many collegiate band programs, the Penn Band is a volunteer organization no scholarships, stipends or academic credits are offered to its more than 100 members. The organization has a rich performance history. The Band was the last organization to be conducted by the great John Philip Sousa. The Penn Band was the first collegiate marching band to march in the Thanksgiving Macy s Day Parade. Past performances during the group s storied past also include the Rose Bowl, the 1954 World s Fair, and the Miss America Pageant Parade. The Band has also performed for former Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan, as well as former Vice President Al Gore. Recent Penn Band tours have included performances at Disney World s 20th Anniversary, Universal Studios Florida and the NCAA Men s and Women s Basketball Tournament, not to mention the countless football halftime shows over the past 105 years. Toast Throwing Toast throwing is one of the most unique sporting traditions at Penn which crowds of Quakers fans perform as a sign of school pride. After the third quarter of Penn football games at historic Franklin Field, the spirited fans unite in the singing of Drink a Highball. As the last line is sung Here s a toast to dear old Penn the fans send toasted bread hurtling through the air to the sidelines. Legend has it that this tradition began back in the mid-1970s, and after a couple of games where thousands of pieces of toast covered the track, a group of engineering students modified Penn s motorized turf cleaner so it would be able to pick up larger pieces of trash. These days, it is belovedly called the Toast Zamboni, and it is a permanent fixture at Penn football games. PennAthletics.com 27

28 Future Facilities Penn Connects Penn Connects, the Campus Development Planning Study for the University of Pennsylvania was submitted by Sasaki Associates in June The plan acknowledges the unprecedented opportunity to transform the Penn campus in response to the acquisition property along the Schuylkill River. This campus expansion of contiguous land will enable the University, for the first time in history, to establish a major physical presence along the Schuylkill River corridor, create new gateways to the campus from the city, and establish new connections with the surrounding communities. In terms of Penn Athletics, the planning study aims to create a signature new urban park to include sports and recreation fields east of Franklin Field on the site of the existing Bower Field and the surface parking areas of the postal lands. This once in a generation opportunity will also enable Penn Athletics to address many of its programmatic needs, as well as key priorities that may arise over the next several years. Though still in the planning stages and subject to change, Penn Athletics intends to create the Franklin Field Pavilion to house existing named spaces as well as some new construction and renovation of existing spaces. The north side of the stadium, inside the arcades, would include the Avery Blake Lacrosse Complex, the George A. Munger Complex, a new 15,000 square foot intercollegiate varsity weight room, a new recreational fitness center to complement the state of the art Pottruck Health and Fitness Centerbuilt in 2003, retail space, a renovated and enhanced training room and locker facilities. In addition, there are plans to build two synthetic turf fields and two smaller grass fields (all for intercollegiate and recreational use), a new softballspecific stadium, outdoor tennis complex and a seasonal air structure that will serve as an indoor practice facility that can be raised and lowered during the winter months. Another major change on the landscape of the athletics area of campus is the creation of the Palestra Green; a green quadrangle in front of the Palestra and adjacent to Franklin Field that would be part of the urban park extending along the banks of the river. The tennis courts, currently outside the Palestra, will be moved to a new outdoor tennis center on the existing Bower Field. These plans hope to provide for a series of new public gathering and circulation spaces in the Palestra and Franklin Field area that serve to link the newly acquired property, campus and community. 28 Proposed renderings on opposite page 1.

King Charles II granted him a parcel of land that included 1,280 acres between the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers. For Penn, this was the beginning of a new colony based on religious freedom. Philadelphia s history from 1774 to 1880 is linked to the American Revolution and the birth of a young nation. As the colonies grew, Philadelphia became the cradle of the nation s burgeoning quest for freedom. The First Continental Congress met at Carpenter s Hall in At the State House, later renamed Independence Hall, patriots declared their independence in Then in 1787, the Constitutional Convention was held at Independence Hall.
