As the Mercer baseball program enters its 10th season under head coach Craig Gibson, the time is now for the Bears to elevate their play to the next level. With three-straight seasons of 38-plus wins and top-125 RPI’s (2012 – #83, 2011 – #56, 2010 – #124), Mercer has all the tools to make 2013 a season to remember. With all nine starting position players back in the fold and an abundance of arms returning to Macon, the Bears have their eyes set on returning to the NCAA Tournament for the fi rst time since 2010.

“We are just very excited to get things going here because the guys have worked so hard over the winter and played well as a whole in our preseason intersquad games,” Gibson said. “We have been picked to win our league by a few diff erent people early on and while the recognition is fl attering we know we haven’t done anything yet. We have a veteran group of guys back this year and I think we will defi nitely have the right mind-set collectively when we take on Ohio State on Feb. 15.”

PITCHERS

With two weekend starters and most of the squads’ relievers back in the fold, the Mercer pitching staff looks to equal all the success it had in 2012, when it set a new program record for the lowest team ERA (3.32) in a season.

Senior David Randall and junior Brandon Barker are both back for 2013 and will anchor the Bears weekend rotation, while A-Sun All-Freshman team selection Dimitri Kourtis and A-Sun All-Conference second team member David Teasley also return from last year’s record-setting pitching staff .

Randall made a full recovery from a back injury that sidelined him all last of 2011 and stepped right into the Bears weekend rotation as a junior. The Lawrenceville, Ga. native made 15 starts for the season, compiling a 4-4 record and a sparkling 2.51 ERA that was the fi fth-lowest in the A-Sun Conference.

Barker was rotated all season long between being a weekend starter to serving as the Bears closer, making 22 appearances and 12 starts. He had a 5-5 overall record with a 3.47 ERA and fi nished third on the team in both innings pitched (72.2) and strikeouts (57).

Kourtis made an immediate impact on the Bears pitching staff as both a starter and reliever as a true freshman. The Alpharetta, Ga. product fi nished tied for third on the team with 25 appearances, eight of which coming as a starting pitcher. He compiled a 3.90 ERA and a sparkling 6-2 record while fi nishing fourth on the team with 64.2 innings pitched.

Teasley elevated his level of play and turned in one of the best seasons by a reliever in the nation as a junior. The side-armer posted a 2.49 ERA and led the A-Sun Conference with 40 relief appearances while ranking fourth in the league with fi ve saves and tied for sixth with seven wins.

Also back for their second season with the Bears is the sophomore quartet of relievers Grant Papelian, Morgan Pittman, Eric Nyquist and Ben Lumsden.

Papelian and Pittman teamed up to form a legitimate one-two punch as left-handed relievers out of the bullpen. Papelian fi nished second on the team and ninth in the A-Sun Conference with 27 appearances and fourth on the squad with a 2.66 ERA. Pittman was not far behind, ranking tied for third on the team with 25 appearances while striking out 29 batters in 27.1 innings pitched.

Nyquist and Lumsden provided Coach Gibson with a pair of power right-handed arms needed to get tough outs in late game relief situations. Nyquist made 23 appearances and put together a 2-1 record with a 5.84 ERA while striking out 23 batters in 24.2 innings pitched. Lumsden found his form towards the end of 2012, making 14 appearances, posting a 2-0 overall record and striking out 19 batters in 19.2 innings pitched.

Junior DJ Johnson looks to expand his role this season after making just eight appearances on the mound due to his responsibilities serving as the Bears everyday second baseman in 2012.

Mercer will also be expecting contributions from four newcomers on the mound in 2013 in junior college transfers Forrest Garrett (Chipola College) and Stephen Glaze (Middle Georgia College) and high school talents Corey Kafka and Ben Spears.

CATCHERS

Junior David Reid-Foley has been penciled in as the opening day catcher by Coach Gibson after rotating in and out of the starting line-up last season mainly due to his work defensively behind the plate. Reid-Foley appeared in 43 games, making 34 starts , and hit .252 on the year with two home runs and 15 RBI while ranking sixth in the A-Sun Conference by throwing out 14 would-be base stealers.

Backing up Reid-Foley will be freshmen Michael Rainwater from Wayne Co. HS and Robert Sanchez from Peach Tree Ridge.

INFIELDERS

The Bears infi eld returns a wealth of talent from last year’s squad including seniors Evan Boyd and Travis Benn, juniors Austin Barrett and Nick Backlund and sophomore Chesny Young.

Boyd enters 2013 as the most experienced position player in the A-Sun Conference, having trotted out as the starting shortstop for the Orange and Black in 174 out of a possible 179 games over his fi rst three seasons in Macon. The Albany, Ga. native hit a career-best .335 in 2012, good for 11th-best in the A-Sun, while leading the league with 42 walks and 20 doubles on his way to being named an A-Sun All-Conference second team selection.

Benn is expected to log time at catcher and fi rst base in 2013 after stepping into a starting role at fi rst base last season and fi lling in beautifully with his defense and his bat. Benn appeared in a career-high 49 games, including 35 starts, and hit .230 for the season while accumulating four doubles, nine home runs and 30 RBI.

Barrett is projected to once again start 2013 as the Bears everyday fi rst baseman for the second-straight season. After missing the fi rst three weeks of last season due to a leg injury, Barrett came back to fi nish strong hitting an even .300 for the year with a .421 on-base percentage, fi ve home runs and 26 RBI.

All Backlund did during his fi rst year at Mercer was Turn in one of the best all-around campaigns in the country and immediately prove himself as one of the most feared hitters in all of collegiate baseball. Backlund led the A-Sun Conference with a .381 batting average, a .668 slugging percentage, 85 hits and 149 total bases and was recognized with several awards including a Louisville Slugger All-American fi rst team selection and an NCBWA All-American second team nod.

Young was hands down one of the best freshman at any position in the country last season due to his phenomenal numbers at the plate. The Atlanta, Ga. native ranked in the top-10 in the A-Sun Conference in sacrifi ce bunts (1st - 18), batting average (3rd - .367) on-base percentage (4th - .443), doubles (T-5th - 16) and hits (7th - 79) and was therefore voted the A-Sun Conference Freshman of the Year.

Volunteer State junior college transfer Michael Massi is slated as the new everyday second baseman for the Bears due to Johnson’s full-time move to the mound.

Freshmen Joe Koehler, Howard Joe, Spencer Duffi e and Daniel Payne add infi eld depth both up the middle and on the corners and will be battling it out for at-bats throughout the season.

OUTFIELDERS

Mercer also return all three starting outfi elders from 2012 in senior Logan Gaines and juniors Derrick Workman and Nate Moorhouse providing the team with a potent mixture of off ense, speed and defense.

Gaines provided Coach Gibson with the type of power bat he was looking for in his fi rst year with the Bears. The Augusta, Ga. native fi nished with a .261 batting average and ranked in the top-10 in the A-Sun Conference in runs scored (49 - 4th), walks (34 - 4th), and home runs (11 - 6th).

Workman followed up an impressive freshman season with an equally stellar sophomore campaign, showing he is one of the top outfi eld talents in the country. Workman fi nished ninth in the A-Sun Conference with a .422 on-base percentage, 12th in the league with a .333 batting average and incredibly didn’t make an error in center fi eld all season long, converting all 112 of his chances.

Moorhouse made the switch from second base to everyday left fi elder as a sophomore and provided the Bears with an aggressive approach both in the batters box and on the base paths. Moorhouse hit .279 for the season with 35 runs scored and was a force once he reached base, fi nishing the season ranking tied for fourth in the A-Sun Conference with 20 stolen bases.

Junior college transfer Sasha LaGarde will push for a starting spot in the outfi eld as well after batting .307 at Chipola College in 2012.

Junior Kelcey Butts and sophomore CJ Reed also look to break into the outfi eld rotation after serving as late game subs last season.

With a philosophy based on the concepts of striving for excellence in the classroom, reaching out in the community and team achievement on the fi eld, 10th-year head coach Craig Gibson has led the Mercer baseball program to great success during his tenure.

Since taking over for long-time skipper Barry Myers in 2004, Gibson has guided the Bears from the depths of the A-Sun Conference to one of the most respected programs in the southeast. With a career 277-233 record, Gibson once again has the Bears poised for success on the national stage in 2013 thanks to his prowess in player development and recruiting.

The Bears kept their string of recent success going in 2012 with yet another stellar season on the diamond. The squad fi nished with a 38-21 overall record and in the process set a new program record for most regular season wins, with 37, breaking the old mark of 36 back in 1981. The Orange and Black clinched a spot in the A-Sun Championship on the fi nal day of the regular season, marking Mercer’s seventh-straight appearance in the conference postseason tournament. The young 2012 Bears squad also showed they aren’t afraid of the big boys, notching wins over eventual ACC and SEC champions Georgia Tech and Mississippi State, respectively.

2012 also brought multiple individual awards for players coach by Gibson. Redshirt sophomore Nick Backlund shined in his fi rst year at Mercer and was named to the Louisville Slugger All-American fi rst team, the A-Sun All-Conference fi rst team and the ABCA/Rawlings All-South Region fi rst team. Freshman Chesny Young made history as he was the fi rst Mercer player named the A-Sun Conference Freshman of the Year. Young was also named to the Louisville Slugger Freshmen All-American Team while sophomore Derrick Workman was voted onto the A-Sun All-Conference fi rst team and A-Sun Academic All-Conference fi rst team.

After all the success the Bears had in 2010, you would think 2011 would be destined to be a down year for Mercer, but that was hardly the case. Mercer fi nished the campaign with a 39-20 overall record and a runner-up fi nish in the A-Sun Championship. The Bears 39 wins tied a program record for most wins in a single-season and their 77 wins over the past two campaigns puts the Orange and Black in a tie for the 28th most wins in the nation over that two-year period.

Despite losing to Belmont in the Championship round of the 2011 A-Sun Championship, Mercer fi nished its season with a No. 56 ranking in the National Ratings Percentage Index (RPI). Under Gibson, multiple Bears received postseason distinction including juniors Jacob Tanis and Brandon Love who were named to the A-Sun All-Conference fi rst team. Tanis was also named a National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) second team All-American while catcher Austin Barrett and outfi elder Derrick Workman were tabbed Freshman All-Americans.

After a steady climb during the fi rst six seasons of his tenure, Gibson’s eff orts fi nally came to fruition in 2010 as he has guided the Bears to a 38-win season and the program’s fi rst-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Despite the preseason doubters, the 2010 season proved to be the most storied of the program’s 62-year history. Predicted to fi nish tied for sixth in the A-Sun Baseball Preseason Poll, Gibson guided Mercer to a 38-24 overall record and a 16-11 mark in conference play. The 38 wins were the second-most in program history while Mercer’s 16 conference victories were the most since a 19-11 A-Sun mark in 1999.

Gibson, who garnered 2010 Georgia Dugout Club Division I Coach of the Year and 2010 SoutheasternBaseball.com Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year honors, directed the Orange and Black to their fourth Atlantic Sun Championship in program history and a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Atlanta Regional. The Bears didn’t stop there, however, as they defeated No. 3 seed Elon for their fi rst-ever NCAA Tournament victory and took eventual Atlanta Regional champion Alabama down to the wire in a 5-3 defeat.

Along the way, the 2010 Bears set numerous team records, including batting average (.340), runs per game (8.9) and hits (770). Gibson also tutored Consensus All-American Jacob Tanis and a total of four All A-Sun performers. 15 Bears earned A-Sun All-Academic honors in 2010, while sophomore Billy Burns garnered a CoSIDA ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District second team selection.

After a nine and eight-game improvement in 2004 and 2005, Gibson’s fi rst two years as head coach, the Bears 2006 season is the year that began the programs turnaround. Mercer catapulted from cellar-dweller to among the conference elite, fi nishing the season in third place in the standings at

34-26 overall and 19-11 in A-Sun play. The 2006 campaign produced the fi rst 30-win season for Mercer since 1999, tied the school record for most A-Sun wins in school history and ended a seven-year postseason drought at the same time.

Gibson and the Bears didn’t waste time dwelling on the success of the 2006 season. The program continued its momentum the next year, winning 33 games and fi nishing second in the A-Sun regular season standings in 2007. Despite a nine-game drop off in 2008, theBears still managed 17 wins in conference play, helping them earn a third consecutive No. 2 seed in the A-Sun Tournament. The 2009 edition of the Bears fi nished with a 23-23 record and secured the programs fourth-straight A-Sun Tournament appearance.

While riding the recent wave of success, the Bears have captured a number of program-defi ning victories over some of the nation’s elite. Mercer secured road wins at then No. 20 ranked UCF in 2004 and toppled No. 22 College of Charleston in 2005. In 2006, Mercer knocked off a pair of elite squads beating then No. 1 ranked Florida and No. 1 ranked Clemson in back-to-back weeks. The next year brought more of the same, as the men from Macon swept a two-game series from No. 2 ranked Miami, Fla. in Coral Gables to start the 2007 season. The Bears took down another SEC giant in 2009 when it defeated #6 Ole Miss in the Coca Cola Classic.

Just as the Bears have excelled as a team under Gibson, there has been no shortage of individual achievements. Since 2006, eight Bears earned A-Sun All-Conference fi rst team selections, with a total of 24 All-Conference honors given to players under Gibson’s watch. Two of those selections, 2006 closer Andrew Urena and 2010-2011 third baseman Jacob Tanis earned consensus All-American honors from several publications.

A total of 14 players under Gibson’s tutelage have been drafted since the 2006 season. Urena (11th round, Chicago White Sox) and teammate Brantley New (27th round, Boston Red Sox) went in the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft. Reliever Cory Gearrin (4th round, Atlanta Braves) and catcher Josh Thompson (32nd round, Florida Marlins) were selected in the 2007 Draft. Outfi elders Billy Burns (16th round, Atlanta Braves) and Matthew Crawford (23rd round, Anaheim Angels) along with pitcher Lath Guyer (48th round, Tampa Bay Rays) each had their names chosen in June of 2008. Starter Dan April (39th round, Tampa Bay Rays) was the Bears lone draftee in 2009, third baseman Jacob Tanis (26th round, Colorado Rockies) and second baseman DJ Johnson (21st round, New York Mets) were taken in the 2010 Draft, while third baseman Jacob Tanis (13th round, Oakland Athletics), starting pitcher Justice French (25th round, Cincinnati Reds), outfi elder Joseph Winker (28th round, Los Angeles Dodgers) and outfi elder Billy Burns (32nd round, Washington Nationals) were selected in the 2011 MLB Draft.

While his dedication on the fi eld is without question, it’s Gibson’s ability to push his players in the classroom that separates him from the rest. Mercer’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) has steadily improved under Gibson, now refl ecting an outstanding four-year average of 974.

Gibson started his career at Mercer as a player. In his junior year of 1985, the hard-hitting fi rst baseman earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year honors, while leading the Bears to an Atlantic Sun Championship. Gibson is one of only three Bears to earn A-Sun Player of the Year honors and the last Mercer player to claim the distinction. He still ranks in the Mercer single-season Top-10 in multiple statistical categories including batting average (T-8th), doubles (T-6th), home runs (8th), RBI (8th) and total bases (7th).

Following his playing career, Gibson served as a graduate assistant coach on Myers’ Mercer staff for two years. He then took over as the head baseball coach at Jupiter Community High School in Jupiter, Fla. for two years before moving over to Suncoast Community High School in Riviera Beach, Fla., for one season. Gibson wrapped up his high school coaching career in 1993 as the head coach at Palm Beach Gardens High School in Palm Beach, Fla.

In August 1993, Gibson got the call to come home and serve as a full-time assistant under Myers. With his strong ties to Mercer and a wealth of coaching experience, it made former Athletics Director Bobby Pope’s choice an easy one when he elevated Gibson to the head job following Myers resignation.

On top of his victories on the fi eld, Gibson was a winner in the classroom, earning a bachelor’s degree in history and health, physical education and recreation in 1986, and a master’s of education in social science from Mercer in 1988.

A native of Macon, Ga., Gibson and his wife Diane have two children, Lindsey (22) and Tyler (19).

Dedication and passion are two words that can be used to describe associate head Brent Shade, who is entering his fi fth season mentoring Mercer’s pitching staff and his fourth as the Bears’ recruiting coordinator.

Shade, who spent the previous four years in a similar duel role at Furman, joined Mercer’s staff for his fi rst season in 2009.

Under his guidance, the Orange and Black’s pitching staff has grown by leaps and bounds in his fi rst four years. The quality of player signing with Mercer has also greatly improved, with his recruiting classes ranking among the best in the competitive southeast region.

2012 was Shade’s best year yet in command of a Mercer pitching staff that arguably had its best collective season in program history. Despite having just one senior who threw a considerable amount of innings, Shade guided the Bears to a new program record 3.32 team ERA. Mercer fi nished the season ranked second in the A-Sun Conference in both team ERA and strikeouts (448) despite having six freshman pitchers throw 19.0 innings or more. The Orange and Black fi nished 2012 ranked 38th in the nation in team ERA and 23rd with a 2.6-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Junior David Teasley was named an A-Sun All-Conference second team member while freshman Dimitri Kourtis was voted onto the A-Sun All-Freshman team under Shade’s watch.

Mercer’s pitching staff , led by a core group of veterans, took another big step under Shade proving to be one of the best in the country. The Bears not only fi nished fi rst in the Atlantic Sun Conference in team ERA (3.58) and second in strikeouts (452), they ranked 52nd and 32nd in the nation in each respective statistic. Mercer’s 3.58 ERA at the end of the 2011 campaign ranked as the fourth lowest team ERA in program history. Under Shade’s guidance, junior Brandon Love was selected to the A-Sun All-Conference fi rst team while DJ Johnson and Brandon Barker were named A-Sun All-Freshman selections. Shade also saw his second pitcher drafted while in Macon, when senior Justice French was selected in the 25th round of the 2011 MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds.

In 2010, Shade managed one of the best pitching staff s in the conference, utilizing a young but talented group of hurlers. The Bears posted a team 5.76 ERA in 2010, ranking third in the conference and 124th in the nation. The 5.76 ERA was the lowest mark posted by the Orange and Black since the 2007 season. Using Shade’s aggressive approach on the mound, Mercer ranked in the Top-100 nationally in three more statistical categories including 7.1 strikeouts per nine innings (99th), 10.4 hits allowed per nine innings (99th) and just 3.4 walks allowed per nine innings (79th).

The Bears improved pitching was never more evident than in the 2010 Atlantic Sun Tournament. Mercer pitching allowed just 12 runs throughout the entire tournament, the fewest by a champion since FAU allowed only 11 runs in four contests in 2004. Individually, two of Shade’s recruits in freshman David Teasley and Matt McCall were rewarded for their individual accomplishments by being named to the 2010 A-Sun All-Freshman team.

Shade’s fi rst season at Mercer was marked with progress both on and off the fi eld. Under Shade’s guidance, the Mercer pitching staff fi nished seventh in the Atlantic Sun with a team ERA of 6.39. Shade also came through big time off the fi eld, bringing in a stellar 2010 recruiting class that should help keep Mercer among the A-Sun’s elite for years to come. Shade also produced his fi rst draftee at Mercer when senior starter Dan April was taken in the 39th round of the 2009 MLB Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays.

Before coming to Macon, Shade helped guide the Paladins to school-record 33 wins in 2008 as Furman fi nished third in the regular season in the competitive Southern Conference. During the Toledo, Ohio, native’s tenure in Greenville, S.C., the Paladins topped the 30-win plateau three times – which has only happened a total of fi ve times in school history.

Under Shade’s leadership in 2008, the Furman pitching staff issued the fewest number of walks in the SoCon for the fi fth consecutive season. Two hurlers from that team are currently in the minor leagues as junior right-hander Jay Jackson was selected in the ninth round of the MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs while senior right-hander Mason Smith graduated and signed a free agent contract with Washington Nationals.

As pitching coach, Shade played an integral part in Furman’s 2005 SoCon Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament campaign that included victories over nationally 18th-ranked College World Series participant Tennessee, and a pair of victories over South Carolina for the program’s fi rst regular-season sweep of the Gamecocks since 1953. In 2006,Furman recorded the SoCon’s third-best ERA (4.45), matched a then-school record with 32 wins and fi nished third in the regular conference standings.

In 2007, another Shade student, right-hander Matt Klinker, headlined Furman’s pitching staff and was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the 15th round of the Major League Draft.

Prior to arriving at Furman in 2005, Shade served as pitching coach at Heidelberg (Ohio) College for two seasons, helping the Student Princes to a 64-26 record, including a 2003 Ohio Athletic Conference regular- season crown and 2004 OAC Tournament title. The 2004 squad also made the school’s fi rst-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament.

“Brent will not only add to our program on the fi eld but he also has a fi rm grasp of our academic environment,” added Gibson. “He understands the academic profi le of our student-athletes and the importance we place on that area. We are certainly excited about the future of our pitching staff in Brent’s hands.”

Shade played at Missouri Valley College and lettered three seasons as a starting pitcher. He transferred to Defi ance (Ohio) College, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business management. He was awarded an MBA from Heidelberg in 2004.

On August 18, 2012, Shade married Whitney Harden in her hometown of Thomasville, Ga.

Junior Jacob Tanis was named an Atlantic Sun All-Conference while outfi elders Joe Winker, Thomas Carroll and Billy Burns were selected to the A-Sun All-Conference second team. Holmes also had three of his players taken in the 2011 MLB Draft including Tanis (13th round, Oakland Athletics), Winker (28th round, Los Angeles Dodgers) and Burns (32nd round, Washington Nationals).

A native of Oviedo, Fla., Holmes spent four years playing professional baseball before returning to Georgia to begin his coaching career. He holds the Bulldog record for best career fi elding percentage by a shortstop at .951. He works with the infi elders and serves as the fi rst base coach.

As a junior, he hit .301-1-16 and ranked second among SEC shortstops with a .971 Fielding Percentage. For his career, Holmes hit .319 with nine home runs, 94 RBI and 34 stolen bases.

Holmes was a 26th round draft pick of the Cleveland Indians in 2004. He played in the Indians organization for two years, spending time in Burlington, N.C. in the Appalachian League, and Eastlake, Ohio for Lake County in the South Atlantic League. Also, he played for the Traverse City (Mich.) Beach Bums of the Frontier League. Holmes was a two-time All-Star selection for the Bums.

Holmes began his collegiate career at the University of South Florida, playing one season with the Bulls before transferring to Georgia in 2002. He is a 2005 graduate of UGA with a degree in Classical Culture.

INSIDE:-Mercer University and City of Macon Snapshots

What distinguishes a good university from a great universityextends far beyond the boundaries of its curriculum and its campus.The competence and character of an institution’s graduates are, more often than not, the hallmarks by which its reputation is both earned and measured.

As a private, co-educational institution, Mercer University has emerged as one of the premier universities in the Southeast and the nation.

Mercer is truly a dynamic and comprehensive center of undergraduate, graduate and professional education. Mercer’s outstanding faculty take students beyond the rigors of academic programs to explore the challengesof reason, responsibility, compassion and character. Through learning, living and leading, Mercer students are prepared not only to confront, but also to embrace the challenges of their future. Under the leadership of promi-nent Georgia Baptist leader Jesse Mercer, Mercer University was founded in Penfi eld, Ga., in 1833 and later moved to Macon in 1871. From its humble beginnings as a small liberal arts college, Mercer now offers pro-grams in 11 schools and colleges. Conveniently located in the middle of the state, Macon serves as the educa-tional, medical, cultural and commercial hub of central Georgia. Located just one hour from Atlanta - one of

THIS IS MERCE

ER...

the nation’s most popular international cities - and two hours from the Atlantic coast, Macon is easily accessible from two interstate highways - I-75 and I-16. Consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report and The Princ-eton Review among the nation’s leading universities, Mercer considers one of its strengths to be its superior fac-ulty, who “teach from the heart.” At Mercer, students benefi t from learning experiences guided by caring faculty, not teaching assistants found at many universities as is the case at many universities. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA recently named Mercer as a “highly selective” university, and The Princeton Review has placed Mercer among the Best 351 Colleges in North America.

The University is comprised of the College of Liberal Arts, the Walter F. George School of Law, the School of Phar-macy and Health Services, the School of Medicine, the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics,

the School of Engineering, the James and Carolyn McAfee School of Theology, the Tift College of Education, the Georgia Baptist Col-lege of Nursing, the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, and the Townsend School of Music. The University also operates the Mercer University Press in Macon and the Mercer Engineering Research Center in Warner Robins.

Mercer’s enrollment is nearly 8,100 students. While many students come from the Southeast, more than 38 states and 30 countries are represented among the student body. The average class size at Mercer is 21, with a student/faculty ratio of 13:1 - unusually low for a major university.

The benefi ts of campus living are numerous - the development of life-long friendships, a sense of community, enhanc-ing campus involvement and higher academic performance. For many new students, this is the fi rst time they have lived away from home, and the community that develops on campus and in residence halls becomes a second family.

All freshman and sophomores (fi rst-year and/or transfer students) are required to live on campus, with the exception of married students, students above the age of 21, students with children and/or students who live at home with a parent or guardian within reasonable commuting distance. In each of Mercer’s residence halls, safety comes fi rst and foremost. The exterior doors are locked at all times, and students use their identifi cation cards to gain ac-cess into their residence hall.

Even with its picturesque setting, the spirit of Mercer is not in the grandeur of its buildings, but in the gracious-ness of its people - a friendly, family-like community of faculty, staff and students who strive for excellence in all that they do.

The University off ers a wealth of fascinating experi-ences and activities both in and outside the classroom. From academic clubs and honor societies, to perform-ing arts and special interest groups, to 16 national fraternities and sororities on campus, students can choose from more than 80 on-campus organiza-tions to discover new talents and interests and to gain important leadership skills they will need for life after college.

WILLIAM D. UNDERWOODPresident Underwood has led Mercer during a period of dynamic growth and development for the University. Since his arrival as Mercer’s 18th President in 2006, enrollment has increased by ap-proximately 15 percent to more than 8,000 students. Mercer has launched a second medical school campus (in Savannah), initiated a master’s-level physician assistant program, announced a doctoral-level program in physical therapy that will begin in 2010, and added Ph.D. programs in Educational

Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, and Nursing.

Refl ecting an increased emphasis on research, Mercer will meet the criteria established by the Carnegie Foundation for reclassifi cation as a research-doctoral university during the 2009-10 academic year. Over the past three years, the number of Ph.D. students has increased from fewer than 25 to approx-imately 200, while the amount of externally funded research expenditures has grown to nearly $25 million. In addition to increased levels of funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, Mercer scien-tists have for the fi rst time been funded as eminent cancer scientists by the Georgia Cancer Coalition, while other Mercer scientists are now receiving funding to support their research through the Georgia Research Alliance.

The University has intensifi ed its longstanding commitment to service-learning and community engagement under President Underwood’s leadership. During the spring of 2009, Mercer announced a $5 million grant from the John S. and

MERCER UNIVERSITYPRESIDENT

James L. Knight Foundation to support continued revital-ization of the College Hill Corridor between campus and downtown Macon. The groundbreaking Mercer On Mis-sion program, launched in 2007, has been recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative as “an exemplary approach to addressing a specifi c global challenge.” Mercer earned the highest federal recognition for community engagement by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2009, and in 2008 became the only university in Geor-gia to receive the Carnegie Foundation’s designation for “Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships.”

Prior to joining Mercer, President Underwood served at Baylor University as Interim President and held the pres-tigious Leon Jaworski Chair at the Baylor School of Law. President Underwood is an accomplished educator and scholar. He was designated a Master Teacher at Baylor in recognition of extraordinary classroom teaching over an extended period. He is an elected member of the Ameri-can Law Institute and the American Bar Foundation.

President Underwood was awarded the J.D. degree sum-ma cum laude by the University of Illinois College of Law

in 1985, where he graduated as class salu-tatorian and was an editor of the University of Illinois Law Review. Following gradua-tion, he clerked for the Honorable Sam D. Johnson of the United States Court of Ap-peals for the Fifth Circuit, prior to practicing law for several years with a large law fi rm in Dallas. He also holds an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, where he met his spouse, Lesli. They have two children, Jessica and William.

DIRECTOR OFATHLETICS

JIM COLEJim Cole assumed the duties of Director of Athletics for Mercer University on July 1, 2010. Prior to that, he served as MU’s Senior Associate Di-rector of Athletics for External Aff airs, heading up the Mercer Athletics Foundation (the fund-raising arm for Bears’ athletics) concurrent with his time as a State Representative in Georgia.

A native of Augusta, Cole entered Mercer on an academic scholarship in 1990 and lettered in baseball from 1990 to 1993. He was recipient of the Charles C. Morgan Outstand-ing Student-Athlete Award and graduated with honors from the University in 1993.

Cole was drafted as a pitcher by the Milwaukee Brewers in 1993 and was named the franchise’s “Organizational Player of the Year” and a fi nalist for the TOPPS Minor League “Player of the Year Award” in 1994.

After an injury ended his professional baseball career, he returned to Mercer in 1997 to earn his MBA while serving as a graduate assistant and pitching coach for the baseball team. In 1998 he served as pitching coach for the Madison Black Wolves minor league team in Madison, Wis. Cole then entered private business before being elected to the Geor-gia House of Representatives in 2004 (and serving in that capacity until 2010).

Cole served as the legislative voice under the Gold Dome for the constituents of House District 125 - which includes Jasper County and parts of Monroe, Jones and Lamar Coun-ties. His legislative duties included membership on the Appropriations Economic Development Sub-Committee (to oversees important areas of the budget that deal with agriculture, community aff airs, economic development and transportation). In addition, Cole served on the Rules, Judi-ciary Non-Civil and State Planning and Community Aff airs Committees.

Gov. Sonny Perdue appointed Cole to serve as senior administration fl oor leader in early 2009, having served formerly as assistant fl oor leader from 2007-2008.

Even after leaving the political arena to assume the role as Mercers A.D., Cole was called on to continue his commit-ment of service to the people of the state of Georgia. In 2010, he was elected by his former constituents in Georgia’s House and Senate to represent the 8th Congressional Dis-

trict on the state’s Department of Transportation Board.

Cole is an active community leader throughout the state. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Georgia Chamber of Commerce. A graduate of Leadership Georgia, he is a member of Forsyth United Methodist Church.

Cole is married to the former Gaylyn Lawson of Forsyth, where they live with their two children, Caroline and Lawson.

The strength and conditioning program at Mercer has three primary goals. These goals are to maximize athleticism, minimize injuries and increase mental/physical toughness. The way this is accomplished is by primarily utilizing ground based, multi-joint, triple extension, explosive exercises. Athletes will perform exercises of all types but focus is put on three main exercise styles: Olympic lifting, power lifting and plyometrics. The goal is to try and replicate the movements, velocities and forces that are experienced during competition of the athlete's sport.

Served by a professional full-time strength and conditioning coach as well as an assistant coach, Mercer Athletics provides a full range of weight training and exercise equipment to assist Mercer’s approximately 250 student-athletes in reaching their athletic potential through strength training and conditioning.

Easily accessible from anywhere in the University Center, the equipment includes the following:• three top of the line power lift full racks• over 3,000 pounds of plates • a line of variable resistant machines• three sets of Iron Grip dumbbells

• fi ve free standing adjustable benches

The Mercer Athletics Foundation was created in 2007 as the fund-raising arm for Mercer Uni-versity Athletics. Since its inception, members of the foundation have contributed over $1.5 million. These funds have been used to under-take such projects as hiring a full-time strength and conditioning coach, enhancing recruiting budgets, providing additional scholarships and to help increase salaries to attract and retain outstanding coaches.

Mission Statement:

2012-13 MAF President

John W. Collier John graduated from Mercer University in 1966 where he played baseball and was captain his senior year. He received his J.D. in 1971 from the Walter F. George School of Law, Mercer University, where he served on Law Review, and is a member of the Georgia and Florida Bar. He is a past member of Mercer Board of Trustees.

After serving as an institutional consultant at Smith Barney, John joined Merrill Lynch in 2007. He is currently an Institutional Money Manager at Merrill Lynch.

Message from the MAF President:

“It’s a great time to ‘Be the Bear’ as a part of the Mercer University athletics family! There are many exciting things currently going on in Bears Athletics...with even more on the horizon!

“The experiences I gained as a Mercer student and athlete have proven invaluable in both my personal and professional life. Mercer off ers its students an education - both on and off the fi eld - that is as functional as it is respected in today’s world. A Mercer degree tells people that you have been a part of something special.

“The Mercer Athletic Foundation’s goal is to enhance and grow the ‘athletic experience’ for the student-athletes who follow in the footsteps of those who, like myself, were fortunate enough to represent the Orange & Black in intercol-legiate athletics competition. Your gifts and contributions to the MAF are what make it possible for this to happen, so please consider how you can ‘Be the Bear’ today!”
