The University
Founded in 1925 as a “Pan-American
University,” the University of Miami is the
largest independent teaching and research
university in the Southeast. The Coral Gables
campus, located 10 miles from Miami in
Miami-Dade County, is the site of most of the
University’s undergraduate and graduate programs. The University also operates a medical
center in downtown Miami, a world-renowned
marine and atmospheric science school on
Virginia Key in Biscayne Bay, and a biomedical
research and development center on its south
campus.
Meanwhile, the University’s proximity to
Latin America and the Caribbean make the
institution an ideal educational option for university-age students from those regions.
Enrollment: Total enrollment for the
2000-2001 academic year was 13,963 students. Of that number, 8,955 were undergraduate students, 3,246 were graduate students,
and 1,762 were professional students. In addition, international freshman applications
reached an all-time high of 1,110 that year. Of
that total, 580 students or 53 percent were
admitted. During the 1999-2000 academic
year, the University awarded 1,740 bachelor
degrees, 1,082 master degrees, 392 J.D.’s, 156

international recruitment program. The
University of Miami sends representatives
worldwide to seek qualified students. These
students represent 110 foreign countries, the
50 states, three territories, and the District of
Columbia.

ranked 44th of all universities and 21st among
private universities in expenditures of federal
funds for research and development.
The budget for 2000-2001 was $971 million, with $553.7 million projected for the
medical campus. At the end of the fiscal year
2000 the endowment was $465.2 million.
Philanthropic dollars to the University were
also up at $100.6 million.
Development: During fiscal year 2000
contributions reached a record-breaking
$100.6 million in gifts, ranking the University
21st among private research universities.

continues to experience tremendous growth.
Applications for the freshman class during
2000-2001 reached 13,080—the highest

diverse. White, non-Hispanic students account
for 60 percent of the incoming freshman class
in 2000-2001, Hispanics accounted for 24
percent, and African-Americans for 9 percent,
while Asian students accounted for 6 percent.
Women accounted for approximately 55
percent of the new freshman class that year,
about 55 percent of all undergraduates, and
50 percent of the graduate and professional

UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI
Administration
Dr. Donna E.
Shalala
President
onna E. Shalala became the fifth
President of the University of
Miami on June 1, 2001. President
Shalala is an accomplished scholar,
teacher, and administrator whose
career has been marked by a variety
of leadership positions reflecting her interest in young people.
She also is a big sports fan!
Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, Shalala was influenced by
her mother, Edna, a former nationally ranked tennis player.
While attending college, she played tennis and still plays a competitive game of doubles. She also enjoys golf, skiing and other
outdoor activities.
In 1987 President Shalala, a distinguished political scientist, became the first woman chancellor of a Big Ten university,
the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She led what was then the
nation’s largest public research university, raising more than
$400 million for the endowment, and spearheaded a $225 million state-private partnership program to renovate and add to
the university’s research facilities. In 1992 Business Week magazine named her one of the top five managers in higher education.
President Shalala’s success at Wisconsin was reflected in
athletics as well. She hired a new football coach, recruiting
D
Barry Alvarez from Notre Dame. Four years later, Wisconsin
won the Big Ten football championship and represented its conference in the Rose Bowl for the first time in 30 years. President
Shalala served on the first Knight Commission, a committee to
review college athletics, and has served on the board of the
National Collegiate Athletic Association Foundation.
In 1992 Shalala was named U.S. Secretary for Health and
Human Services (HHS) and served for eight years, becoming
the nation’s longest-serving HHS Secretary. She was an active
member of the Washington, D.C., community, participating in
events to benefit the arts including serving as a member of the
Kennedy Center Board of Trustees. In 1999 she spearheaded the
United Way campaign for federal employees that raised a record
$44 million for local and national charities. Last year she led the
official U.S. delegation to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney,
Australia. At the end of her tenure as HHS Secretary, The
Washington Post described her as “one of the most successful
government managers of modern times.”
As president of the University of Miami, President Shalala
presides over one of the most successful college athletic programs in the country. The Hurricanes football program consistently ranks in the top of the polls. Last spring the baseball team
won its fourth College World Series. And, in 2002 the men and
women’s basketball team will play in a new, on-campus facility,
the Ryder Center. Other Hurricane sports—from golf to tennis—have also earned national recognition. For a sports fan
like President Shalala, there is no better place to call home than
the University of Miami.

while studying at the University of Virginia, Duke University and
abroad at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia. She
most recently competed for three years at the University of Virginia while completing her master’s
degree in Marine Affairs.
Ewton comes to Miami after spending the past year and half as the sculling coordinator and

Following her undergraduate career at Duke, Ewton spent the following eight months in
Durham, NC, as the novice women’s coach. Her first eight claimed the 1996 ACC title and placed in
the finals at the national Dad Vail Regatta.
Ewton double-majored at Duke where she earned bachelor’s degrees in Environmental

NCAA team title was given to Brown, while Virginia was awarded the honor as second place team.

Virginia placed third as a team. In 1997, she assisted the second varsity eight to a Bronze Medal at
the inaugural NCAA Rowing Championships, while the team came in fourth. Other notable finishes

Championship Eights event, losing only to Denmark, Canada and the United States. She also won
the 1997 Princeton Chase in the open women’s fours and eights events. A three-time winner of the
women’s double at the Head of the Ohio, Ewton also captured the victory in the single in 1999.
In 2001, Ewton finished third in the Championship Women’s Single at the Royal Canadian

the novice program have the opportunity to become part of a
rowing program rich in tradition while attending an educational
institution with an outstanding reputation for higher learning.
“I had always been interested in the sport of rowing,
enjoyed physical fitness. What better way to work out than on
Miami Beach,” said current novice rower Michelle OwensWolcott. “Besides, it is a fun sport. I have found that rowing
has become the most relaxing part of the day for me.”
The 2001-2 season will be an exciting one. The program
has a new coaching staff and brand new racing shells. This
year’s novice class is fired up and ready to go.
“We have a great group of women,” said Novice Rowing
Coach Liz Payer, a former letterwinner on the Hurricanes’ varsity squad. “They are fit and motivated. This season will definitely be successful.”
“I am looking forward to the competitive season, as well as
improving myself as an athlete and rower,” said Owens-Wolcott.

Originally from Jacksonville, FL, Payer came to Miami as
one of the state’s top rowers from Stanton College Prep. She finished her high school career at West Potomac HS, in
Alexandria, VA, as her team’s MVP, as well as a Washington Post
All-Met selection.
At Miami, Payer, who earned her bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, was a familiar face in the varsity eight rowing
in nearly every seat. Along with being a very effective rower
whether in the stern or bow, Payer was able to row from either
side with positive result.
Her crews at Miami were consistently the top finishers at
the Florida and Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association
regattas, claiming back-to-back first-place titles in 1998 and
1999. Additionally, she assisted the varsity eight to its top two
finishes at the Head of the Charles Regatta in 1999 (13th) and
1998 (15th).

Ronald W. Shane Watersports Center
ocated on the east bank of Indian Creek in the heart of scenic Miami Beach, the 4,200 squarefoot Ronald W. Shane Watersports Center is the home for the University of Miami varsity
Lwomen’s
rowing team.
Not just the usual boathouse, the Shane Watersports Center is equipped with a fully functional
indoor and outdoor boat bay, which in total can shelter in excess of 75 shells. The boat bay also
contains a specialized work area for boat maintenance and repair.
On the inside, the Center holds two spacious locker rooms with shower facilities, coaches’
offices, a weight room with ergometers and a media/lounge room that can be used for film study
or to hold social occasions.
On the outside, the Center has a state-of-the-art 100-foot floating dock connected to a concrete launch platform in the back of the complex. The floating dock is large enough to launch four
eights at one time. UM Rowing owns four 15-foot motor boats to idle up and down Indian Creek
during practices.
The body of water, Indian Creek, is a three-mile sheltered body of water that is wide enough
for six boats. The Center, which is used exclusively for rowing-related activities, was dedicated in
October of 1993 and has 4,200 square feet of storage space for shells.
Beginning in 2002, a second level will be added to the center, with more space for meeting
rooms, ergs, weight room and an internet cafe.

belief that has made Miami the winningest collegiate rowing
program in the South.
The Hurricane Strength and Conditioning program operates under the guidance of head strength coach Andrew Swasey.
Swasey returned to Miami in 2000 after spending the 1999 season as the defensive backs coach at the University of Houston.
Before going to Houston, Swasey served as Assistant Strength
and Conditioning coach for two years at Miami.
Swasey is noted for his enthusiastic approach to weight
training and for developing year-round sports specific programs
for each student-athlete. Together with assistant strength coaches Dave Richardson, Mark Dziadek and Victor Ishmael,
Hurricane student-athletes are given the personalized instruction and tools to reach their full physical potential.
The goal of the Hurricane Strength and Conditioning program is to minimize injury risk and enhance all physical parameters, including strength, speed, power, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance.
To help achieve this goal the University recently completed
construction of a new $4.9 million weight room. The 12,000
square foot state-of-the-art facility houses 20 custom designed
weight lifting stations, 17 cardio-vascular machines, a stretching
area, a dumbbell and rehab area, and nearly 44,000 pounds of
weights.

UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI
Important Information From
University of Miami Compliance Office
Dear Prospective Student-Athlete:
As a prospective student-athlete, you may have the athletic potential to play college volleyball at the Division I level. If so, you probably will be
exposed to an enormous amount of recruitment activities from universities across the country. Throughout the recruitment process, coaches will reference various NCAA rules and regulations. The rules are designed for various reasons. The most important of which are to ease the pressures on
prospective student-athletes and to level the playing field so that all universities operate within the same guidelines.
During the recruiting process you may have the following questions:
•
•
•
•
When and how often can I visit an institutions campus?
When, where and how often can a coach telephone me?
How many times can a coach observe me in practice and/or competition?
What academic criteria must I meet to be eligible to play Division I college volleyball?
A Division I institution
may provide you with
the following printed
materials:
•
•
The answers to these questions and more can be obtained from the University of Miami compliance office or the NCAA by requesting the NCAA
Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete. The guide may be provided to a prospective student-athlete at any time. The guide addresses issues related to Divisions I, II and III academic eligibility, financial aid, recruitment and more. To receive a copy of the guide call the NCAA Hotline at 1-800-6383731, access the NCAA website at NCAA.org, or request it from the University of Miami coach who is recruiting you.
Please remember that since violations of NCAA rules during your recruitment could jeopardize your athletic eligibility, it is important for you and
your parents to be informed and to ask questions throughout the recruiting process.

Best of luck and GO CANES!

F.A.Q.’s
Who is a Prospective Student-Athlete
(Prospect)?
You are a prospect if you have started classes
for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade,
you may become a prospect if a university
provides you (or your family or friends) any
financial aid or other benefit that is not usually provided to prospective student-athletes.
How do I know if I’m being recruited?
A coach is recruiting you if they try to convince you directly, or through your family, to
attend their school and participate in intercollegiate athletics. There are several ways to
be recruited: (1) a coach may provide you
with an official paid visit to view the campus,
(2) a coach may arrange an in-person, offcampus encounter with you (or your family), or (3) a coach or staff member may call
you (or your family) on more than one
occasion for the purpose of recruitment.
Coaches and authorized institutional
staff members are the only individuals who
may recruit you. Representatives of athletic
interests (boosters) may not call, write or
make in-person contact with you for the purpose of recruiting you to a university and
participating in athletics.
When can a coach contact me?
Off Campus Contact: A coach can
arrange a face-to-face meeting, off the
University’s campus, with you beginning July
1st following the completion of your junior
year in high school.
Telephone Calls: In the sport of football, a coach may call a prospect once during your junior year of high school after May
1st. After that one phone contact, a coach
may not call you again until September 1st
following the completion of your junior year.
UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI
For all other sports, coaches may initiate
telephone contact with prospects after July
1st following completion of your junior year.
You may call a coach at your own expense at
any time. However, unless it is after July 1st
following your junior year, the coach may
not return your call. Generally, a coach may
only call you (or your parents or legal
guardians) once a week, however unlimited
phone calls are permitted under the following circumstances: (1) during the five days
before your official visit, (2) on the initial
date for signing the National Letter of Intent
and the two days following, (3) on the day of
a coach’s off-campus contact with you, and
(4) in the sport of football only, unlimited
phone calls may be made during permissible
off-campus contact periods and during the
two days before and after the initial signing
date for the National Letter of Intent.
Letters: Letters and recruiting information may be sent to you starting September
1st at the beginning of your junior year in
high school.
What is a Contact?
A contact is any face-to-face encounter
between a prospect or the prospect’s parent(s) or legal guardian and an institutional
staff member or athletic representative during which any dialogue occurs in excess of
an exchange of a greeting. NOTE: At the
Division I level, athletic representatives
(boosters) may not contact you for the purpose of recruiting.
General correspondence, including letters, U.S. Postal Service postcards and
institutional note cards;
Game programs which may not include
posters, and one Student-Athlete
Handbook;
NCAA educational information;
Pre-enrollment information subsequent
to signing a National Letter of Intent
with the university;
One athletic publication (e.g., media
guide or recruiting brochure);
Official academic, admissions and student services publications published or
videotapes produced by the institution
and available to all students;
Schedule and business cards;
Questionnaires which may be provided
prior to your junior year; and
Camp brochures which may be provided prior to your junior year.
What can a school offer me to attend their
University?
You (or your family) may not receive any
benefit, inducement or arrangements such
as cash, clothing, cars, gifts or loans to
encourage you to sign a National Letter of
Intent or to attend a NCAA school.
A University may offer you a one-year
scholarship that covers room and board,
tuition and fees, and required course-related
books, or any part of these. The institution
can recommend that this aid is renewed
each year, as is the general practice at the
University of Miami. In addition, they can
offer you quality academic and medical support, as well as the opportunity to compete
for one of the nation’s top programs.
What can I do during this process?
Enjoy your high school years—work hard
both in the classroom and in your sport. At
the beginning of your junior year, sign up for
the NCAA Clearinghouse. Your high school
guidance office can provide you with the
information.
Who can I contact with questions?
Call the NCAA at (317) 917-6222 with
questions regarding eligibility requirements
and recruiting.
