The University of Texas at El Paso is paving the road to success for thousands of studentsin the region and mapping the future of higher education across the nation.

We’re no strangers to the task.In 1966, UTEP -- then named Texas Western College -- changed the face of collegiate

athletics.An upstart squad of five African-American players beat Kentucky to win the NCAA

basketball championship, breaking color barriers in college sports. This historical event is beingdepicted in the Disney/Jerry Bruckheimer movie Glory Road, expected in theaters in early2006.

Today’s UTEP, located in the heart of the U.S.-Mexico border, is again breaking barriersand, this time, changing the face of higher education.

Nearly 72 percent of our student body is Hispanic, and another 10 percent are Mexicannationals. The majority are first-generation college students.

UTEP has embraced this not as a challenge, but as an opportunity to provide accessand excellence in higher education. For many of our students, the road to glory begins here.

We rank second in the nation awarding undergraduate degrees to Hispanics. We arethe country’s only doctoral research intensive university with a student body that’s predominantlyMexican-American.

UTEP offers more than 80 bachelor’s degrees, more than 70 master’s-level degreesand programs and 13 doctoral degrees – and counting.

We’re experiencing unprecedented growth — record enrollments of nearly 20,000students, a $50 million building boom and nearly $35 million in research a year.

TOP-TIER RESEARCHWe rank second in federal research spending among all UT System academic institutions.

With new labs and classrooms to support our rapidly expanding academic and researchprograms, we’re gearing up for more.

That’s a solid start to UTEP’s goal of becoming a top-tier research university — exclusivemembership that requires world-class faculty, the latest in research equipment and facilities,and $100 million a year in research spending.

This spring alone, UTEP received a $169 million in-kind donation of computer-aidedengineering software and equipment and launched a new high-capacity network that opensthe door to unprecedented collaboration between numerous universities and research centersacross the U.S. and Mexico.

UTEP was one of only 11 universities nationwide to receive a $5 million “Teachers for aNew Era” research grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. The grant will help UTEPbecome a national model for teacher education programs.

CAMPUS SETTING: A HISTORYUTEP has long been a major player in the development of the El Paso community.The school started in 1914 as the Texas College of Mines and Metallurgy. After a fire

destroyed the school’s Main Buidling, a cluster of castles began to be built along El Paso’smountains. The buildings’ architecture was derived from an article on Bhutan in “NationalGeographic” and today, the campus continues to resemble the Himalayan kingdom.

In 1949, the school became Texas Western College and in 1967 – a year after TWCwon the 1966 NCAA basketball championship – the name was changed to the University ofTexas at El Paso.

Today, key university athletic and entertainment facilities include the 51,500-seat SunBowl Stadium; the 12,000-seat Don Haskins Center; the Swimming and Fitness Center; andthe Larry K. Durham Sports Center, a state-of-the-art athletics and kinesiology complex. Theuniversity also boasts a six-story University Library, a state-of-the-art Undergraduate LearningCenter, and the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts inaugurated in September2004.

A new Academic Services Building opened this spring, and a Biosciences Building, anaddition to the Engineering Building and the Paso del Norte Research and Business Complexare not far behind. A five-level garage east of the Union Building and Phase II of Miner Villagestudent housing are planned for the near future.

COUNTING TO 100 With these and many more accomplishments to boot, UTEP last year celebrated its90th anniversary. With that benchmark, the Centennial Commission was formed and chargedwith developing a vision for the university in 2014 – our 100th anniversary. The Commission of100 individuals this fall will present their report to the community and recommend long-rangegoals and strategies to achieve them. Over the past 90-plus years, we’ve paved the way to success for more than 76,500graduates.

Together we will continue to mine the way for the thousands more who will becomeproud UTEP alumni over the next decade.

Go Miners!

2005 PREVIEW

The 2005 season looks to be a fresh start for the UTEP volleyball program. Following threeinjury-mired rebuilding years, the Miners are in position to have one of the most successfulyears in school history.

The Miners joined Conference USA on July 1, 2005 along with former WAC brethren Rice,SMU and Tulsa. With a new conference and new opponents, head coach Scott Swansonsees the 2005 season as not only a fresh start, but also a new beginning.

“It will be a great conference for UTEP,” said Swanson. “Our goal is to finish in the top five inConference USA and win at least 18 matches this season. It’s a wide-open race as far as whowill win the conference.”

UTEP returns five starters, a libero and one additional letterwinner from the 2005 season, andlost just one starter (Cecilia Moreno) and one letterwinner (Paige Wawrzyniak). UTEP signedthree freshmen and added four walk-ons to the roster, adding much-needed depth to a teamthat had just three reserves last season.

But with just three players hitting the six-foot mark, defense at the net is a concern for Swanson.

“There’s no doubt that size could be a problem,” said Swanson, “but we have depth andathleticism in all positions.”

Leading the 2005 squad is team MVP Kari Stacy. A senior outside hitter from Duncan, Ariz.,she led the team in kills, attempts, digs and aces while breaking UTEP records during the2004 season. Sophomores Megan Maynard and Christie Murphy will also be vying for astarting spot at outside hitter.

“Kari improved tremendously and has become more of a complete player,” said Swanson.“Megan sat out this spring after having shoulder surgery, but she is one of the faster andstronger athletes on the team. Christie gained valuable experience in the fall and spring. Sheimproved her passing and is our toughest and most consistent server.”

NETTERS LOOK TO REBOUND IN A BIG WAY IN 2005

Quarterbacking the team is returning setter Katie Smith. As a sophomore, she totaled 947assists while averaging 11.01 per game.

“She is definitely our most improved player,” Swanson said. “Her leadership and setting abilitiescan take the team to the next level. It is her attitude that helps us to be successful.”

Fighting for a starting spot at the middle blocker position will be junior veteran Ashley Rippleand prep All-American freshman Brooke Peugh. Redshirt freshman Keisha Hyman-Gifth alsolooks to see time at the middle spot, as well as freshman Jessica Williams.

“Ashley has started the past two years, so she has experience,” said Swanson. “She is a low-error player who brings consistency to the court. Brooke came in during the spring, so shehas the mid-year experience of the spring season. She brings size and athleticism to ourlineup. Keisha was out last year with an abdominal injury. She improved during the spring.She’s fast and she jumps well. Jessica is a great athlete who will definitely be fighting for astarting spot.”

Senior Heather Brisnahan, who played at the middle blocker position the past three years, willbe making the move to opposite during the 2005 season. But she has competition fromfreshman Casey McAnelly.

“Heather will move from middle blocker to opposite. She has improved and is ready to have agreat senior season,” Swanson said. “Her hard work will definitely pay off next year. Caseywill contribute right away. She is valuable because she can play more than one position.”

Returning to the lineup at libero is Brittany Stowers, who injured her knee six games into the2004 season. The redshirt freshman averaged 6.79 digs per game with 129 and set UTEPand NCAA dig records. Backing up Stowers on defense is specialist Jaymie Swift, who tookover as libero following Stowers’ injury. She recorded 20 or more digs four times and hadthree games with 19 digs. Swift will also serve as a back-up setter. Sarah Renteria and ElsaReyes are walk-on freshmen who hope to compete for a defensive specialist spot oppositeSwift.

“Brittany raises the level of performance of the team because of her ball control and defense,”Swanson said. “Jaymie had a great spring season. She is one of our leaders who bringsexperience and consistency to the court. Elsa and Sarah will compete for defensive positionsas walk-ons.”

Swanson anticipates the team strengths will be depth and ball control on defense. “We shouldhave no problem with ball control which will allow us to run a really good offense, especiallywith Brittany coming back,” he said.

The Miners open the season on Aug. 26, when they travel to Murfreesboro, Tenn. to participatein the Middle Tennessee Invitational, the first of four tournaments. They head to Fullerton,Calif. for a Sept. 2-3 event.

“Cal State will be our toughest competition during the preseason, since they are from a strongconference in the Big West,” said Swanson. “I hope to be at a level where we can competewith them.”

The Miners return home to host the first annual Sun Bowl Invitational Sept. 9-10.

“The Sun Bowl tournament will give us an opportunity to get some wins at home,” said Swanson.“New Mexico State will be our biggest challenge in the field.”

The Miners wrap up tournament play Sept. 16-17 at the Fiesta Bowl Tournament in Flagstaff,Ariz., where they will face Northern Arizona, Baylor and Gonzaga. They open C-USA play atMarshall on Sept. 23 before heading home to face Eastern Carolina on Sept. 25.

“It will be a difficult opener because it is a split weekend for us [home and away],” Swansonsaid. “We travel to Marshall, only to turn around and come home to play East Carolina twodays later. That’s a tough start to the conference schedule.”

The Miners will also host Houston and Rice before traveling to I-10 rival New Mexico State.They return to El Paso to face Tulane, then play at Tulsa and SMU. UTEP plays UCF andSouthern Miss at home, then enters the toughest portion of its schedule with road dates atRice, Houston, Memphis and UAB. The Miners close out the regular season at home againstSMU and Tulsa.

“Anytime you travel it is difficult,” said Swanson. “We have never won at SMU or Tulsa, so Ihope to turn that around this year. By the time we travel to UCF and Southern Miss, we hopeto be in a good position to beat those teams. Traveling to Houston and Rice will be the toughestweekend, but ideally we will be peaking by that time. Memphis and UAB will be a new travelexperience. It will be good to end the year on our home court against Tulsa and SMU. We arehoping to be at least a fifth seed in the conference tournament.”
