Becker has launched a major strategic planning initiative focused on positioning the university, as it sets its sights on its second century, to become one of the nation’s premier urban universities. Embracing its commitments to recognized excellence in education and research, as well as its unique location in and commitment to Atlanta, the university is poised to rise to new levels of accomplishment and impact. Under Becker’s leadership, GSU in 2011 approved and began implementation of its 10-year Strategic Plan, whose mission is to position Georgia State “as a dynamic academic community where teaching and research combine to produce leaders and create solutions to conquer the challenges of the 21s century.” In 2010 Becker oversaw the launching of the Second Century Initiative for faculty excellence, most often referred to as “2CI.” This initiative is recruiting 100 additional faculty members to Georgia State over five years to build internationally recognized scholarly strength and critical mass in areas of priority. Seeking to recognize the importance and influence of international commerce and technology for Georgia State students and researchers, Becker has worked to enhance Georgia State Uni- 14 versity’s global reach, the cornerstone of which was the opening of GSU’s Confucius Institute in 2010, a partnership with the Beijing Language and Culture University and one of the first business-oriented Confucius Institutes in the United States. In addition, Becker leads a diverse university whose undergraduate academic profile continues to rise, and a number of the university’s excellent graduate programs enjoy strong national rankings. Becker also has overseen a number of physical improvements and enhancements including: the opening of the Parker H. “Pete” Petit Science Center; the university’s first freshman housing and dining complex, to be followed by the Piedmont North housing and dining complex coming on line this fall; the construction of on-campus Greek housing; and the purchasing of land for future growth and expansion in downtown Atlanta. Prior to his appointment to Georgia State, Becker served as executive vice president for academic affairs and provost at the University of South Carolina. Before assuming that role, Becker spent three years at the University of Minnesota as a biostatistics professor, dean of the School of Public Health and assistant vice president of Public Health, Preparedness and Emergency Response. 2011-12 GEORGIA STATE WOMEN’S TENNIS From 1989 to 2000, Becker was a professor and associate dean for academic affairs at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health. He also has held academic appointments at the University of Washington, the University of Florida and Cornell University. Becker earned his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Towson State University and his doctorate in statistics from the Pennsylvania State University. Active in the Atlanta community, Becker is a member of the Central Atlanta Progress Executive Committee; Atlanta Committee for Progress Board of Directors; Georgia Aquarium Board; Woodruff Arts Center Board of Trustees; Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors; Georgia Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors; Georgia Research Alliance Board of Trustees; Commerce Club Operating Board; ARCHE (Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education) Board; the Coalition of Urban Serving Universities Board of Directors; and the World Affairs Council of Atlanta Board of Directors. During his career, Becker has been involved in several professional associations, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the International Biometric Society and the American Statistical Association, where he is a fellow. He has been principal investigator on research grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, and he has published extensively in leading journals of medicine, public health, and statistics. Becker has served on a number of editorial boards, was co-editor of Sociological Methodology, and was a guest editor for Sociological Methods and Research and for the Journal of the American Statistical Association. Becker and his wife, Laura Voisinet, have two grown children, Matthew and Julia. PANTHERS C harged with leading Georgia State University athletics in an era of unprecedented growth, Director of Athletics Cheryl L. Levick is changing the face of Panther athletics with the historic launch of Georgia State football and the development of the overall program. Under Levick’s leadership, the inaugural football season of 2010 was an unqualified success as the first-year team posted a winning record on the field while averaging nearly 17,000 fans for home games at the Georgia Dome. As a result, Georgia State received tremendous positive exposure, both locally and nationally. Levick’s first two-plus years on the job have been marked by dramatic upgrades in facilities and fund-raising. Annual giving to the Panther Athletic Club has increased more than ten-fold, and the two largest gifts in the history of GSU athletics have been secured. Construction projects include the GSU Football Practice Complex, new facilities for strength and conditioning and sports medicine, and upgrades to every venue used by the Panthers. Her forward thinking is evident in her reorganization of the GSU Athletics Association and the ambitious, six-year strategic plan she has developed for the future of Georgia State athletics. With Levick at the helm, Georgia State’s athletic programs are rising in stature in the Colonial Athletic Association. Since her arrival, GSU has claimed six CAA team titles and 16 individual conference crowns while boasting nine CAA Scholar-Athlete of the Year honorees. GSU student-athletes have also excelled in the classroom, maintaining a cumulative grade point average over 3.0 while completing more than 5,000 hours of community service in 2010-11. With a resume of experience and success at prestigious athletics programs across the nation, Levick came to Georgia State in March 2009 from the University of Maryland, where she served as chief of staff/ executive senior athletic director, overseeing daily management of the 27-sport program. Her impressive career includes seven years as director of athletics at Santa Clara University and Saint Louis University as well as nearly two decades in senior administrative positions at Maryland and Stanford University and stints with the Pacific 10 Conference and the NCAA headquarters. Levick was named the 2001 Division I Athletic Administrator of the Year by the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators (NACWAA). In 2005-06, she received the General Sports TURF Systems Athletic Director of the Year Award for the NCAA Division I Central Region, and she was recognized in both 1998 and 1999 as one of the nation’s Top 25 Female Sports Executives by Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal. She is a past president of the NCAA Division I-AAA Athletic Directors Association. Before going to Maryland in 2007, she served three years (2004-07) as director of athletics at Saint Louis, where she led the transition from Conference USA to the Atlantic 10 Conference and served as the lead fund-raiser for a new $80 million on-campus arena and practice complex. In 2006, she received the Carl O. Bauer Award as the top amateur sports figure in the St. Louis area. Levick also spent four years (2000-04) as director of athletics and recreation at Santa Clara University, where she oversaw a major renovation of the school’s basketball arena. The Broncos’ women’s soccer team captured the 2001 national championship, still the only NCAA title in school history. Prior to Santa Clara, Levick worked 12 years at Stanford as senior associate athletic director and senior woman administrator. She served as the primary administrator for 33 varsity programs that won 44 national championships and six straight Sears Cup titles during her tenure. Levick previously served as assistant commissioner of the Pac-10 Conference, assistant director of communications and women’s programs at the NCAA, women’s gymnastics coach and associate athletic director at Slippery Rock University, and assistant gymnastics coach and synchronized swim coach at Indiana University. She began her career at Pattonville Senior High School in St. Louis, Mo., coaching gymnastics and women’s track. Levick is a 1974 graduate of the University of Missouri, and she holds a masters degree in athletic administration from Indiana University. She has two daughters: Heather, who is married to Michael Klass, and Melissa.

The team recorded a school-record nine consecutive victories to open last season on the way to the 15 wins. The Tribe are ranked No. 43 to start the 2012 spring, so the Panthers know what their challenge is this year. “Our goals are very clear: we want to end this season in the top 40 rankings and win the Colonial Athletic Association championship,” Lisac said, “Both of those goals would qualify us for NCAA nationals. We don’t just want to go to nationals, we want to win in the first round of nationals. This hasn’t ever been accomplished by the Georgia State program.” Several players stood out last year as the team featured four All-CAA performers. Leading the effort was 32 sophomore Abigail Tere-Apisah who took home CAA Rookie of the Year, All-CAA Singles first team, All-CAA Doubles first team and CAA Championship Most Outstanding Performer honors last year. Other standouts included senior Tereza Lerova (AllCAA Singles second team) and sophomore Maryna Kozachenko (All-CAA Doubles first team).

Stepping into the void will be sophomore Maryna Kozachenko who notched a 10-6 overall record last season.

Byrd went 6-5 in singles for Georgia State in the fall, including a first round victory at the ITA Regionals in Gainesville, Fla. “Even though she is an upper-classmen, we almost feel like we have another newcomer,” Lisac said of Byrd. “She will be new to the lineup, but we don’t expect her to be in the freshmen waters as far as inexperience. We think Whitney will step in and show what she’s capable of right from the start.” Grgan arrived at Georgia State from Maribor, Slovenia prior to the fall semester. She posted solid numbers in the fall for GSU, going 4-1 in singles throughout the fall season. She posted a perfect 3-0 record to win her singles flight against SEC and Atlantic Sun competition in her first collegiate action at the Roberta Allison Fall Classic hosted by the University of Alabama.

The Panthers also welcome walk on Megan Nelms, who was a four-year starter and star at nearby Parkview High School in Gwinnnett County. “We were fortunate to add Masa in the fall semester,” Lisac said, “She has provided a stable point so far. She adapted pretty well to the team and we’re looking forward to seeing what she can contribute in the spring.” “Chaimaa has been doing some very good things in practice and we’re looking forward to having her contribute,” Lisac said, “We expect all of our newcomers, which include Alex and Megan, to contribute this season. GSU will add two signees to its spring lineup in Chaimaa Roudami and Alexandra Brouillette. Roudami hails from Casablanca, Morocco and won the U16 doubles title at the International Junior Championships of Botswana.
