LBSU PRESIDENT Dr. JANE CLOSE CONOLEY

Jane Close Conoley, Ph.D. was selected by The California State University (CSU) Board of Trustees in January 2014 as the newest president of California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) and officially took office on July 15. Conoley is the first woman to be appointed president of CSULB and the seventh president overall in the 65-year history of the campus.

Immediately prior to coming to CSULB, Conoley served as dean of the Gevirtz Gradu-ate School of Education at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). She also served from November 2012 to August 2013 as the interim Chancellor of UC Riverside.

Since 2006, along with serving as dean, Conoley was a professor of counseling, clinical and school psychology. Prior to her service at UCSB, she served as dean and professor

of educational psychology at Texas A&M University (1996-2005) and associate dean for research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Teachers College (1989-94). In addition, she held faculty positions at Texas Woman’s University and Syracuse University.

Conoley earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the College of New Rochelle and a Ph.D. in school psychology from the Univer-sity of Texas at Austin.

Conoley is the author or editor of 21 books and more than 100 chapters, refereed journal articles and technical reports. Her areas of primary interest are interventions with children with disabilities—especially serious emotional disturbance and aggressive children and youth—and family intervention. Her most recent work investigates the application of the science of positive psychology to educational settings.

One example is her co-authorship with A. P. Goldstein, of Student Violence Intervention: A practical handbook and Student Aggression: Prevention, management and replacement training. She has also co-authored books concerning home/school collaboration (with S. Christenson), family assessment (with E. Werth), and school consultation (with C. Conoley). Her most recent book with Collie Conoley is Positive Psychology and Family Therapy (Wiley, 2009).

Conoley is also well known for her work in psychological and educational measurement and served for 12 years as an editor of the Mental Measurements Yearbook series published by the Buros Institute of Mental Measurements. She has been the principle investiga-tor (P.I.) on several federally funded projects aimed at developing better school-based approaches to helping children with emotional and behavioral disorders. She also has been the P.I. on federal and state initiatives to improve teacher quality especially in science and mathematics education. Conoley remains very interested in working with schools to increase the engagement of low income children of color with academic success and educational attainment. She has presented papers and lectured throughout the world to education-al and mental health professionals on these topics.

Conoley has won university-level teaching and professional organization service awards and has been very active in leadership posi-tions in the American Psychological Association (APA) and has served on national boards including teacher recruitment (College Board) and zero tolerance discipline policies (APA). She has also served on the executive committees of the national education deans’ associa-tions such as CADREI and LEARN.

In her role as dean of the Gevirtz Graduate School of Education, Conoley oversaw the APA accredited combined program in professional psychology—one of only a handful of such programs in the United States.

She was the chair of the UC System-wide Science and Mathematics Initiative Executive Committee and participated in the development of a UC Santa Barbara campus-wide strategy to increase the quality, quantity and diversity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics majors who choose to pursue a career in teaching. In this role she developed new links with regional community colleges, area business, industry, non-profits and philanthropy, and new relationships on campus among the colleges and the large UC Santa Barbara interdisciplinary science and engineering research centers.

Founded in 1949, CSULB enrolls some 35,500 students annually, making it one of the largest four-year universities in California and the nation. Students are served by more than 2,100 faculty members within the university’s eight colleges, which offer 85 baccalaureate degrees, 64 master’s degrees and four doctoral degrees.

WALTER PYRAMID

The Walter Pyramid has played host to several NCAA sponsored events including numer-

ous women’s volleyball matches, the 2001 and 2003 Men’s Volleyball Championships and the 2003 NCAA Women’s Volleyball Regionals. The venue has also served as the host site for the NBA Summer Pro League and CIF Basketball Playoffs. It’s also the site

of many commercials and feature films.

The Walter Pyramid is believed to be the largest space-frame structure in North America. The building’s infrastructure utilizes 18,000 steel

tubes and connection modules, joined by more than 160,000 three-quarter inch bolts. If the

tubes were laid end-to-end, they would form a pipe span 26 miles long.



71

ABOUT WALTER PYRAMIDThe home of Long Beach State basketball and volleyball for over 15 years, the Walter Pyra-mid has become a nationally recognized icon for the university and the city of Long Beach. Because of its dramatic appearance, its unique multi-purpose capability and its lure for tele-vision production, the Walter Pyramid is one of the finest collegiate athletic facilities in the western United States.

On March 5, 2005, the pyramid was officially named the Walter Pyramid, thanks to the gen-erous donations presented to the university by Dr. Mike and Arlene Walter. Long-time sup-porters of the school, the Walters gift to athlet-ics and academics was the largest single gift in LBSU Athletics history.

Officially opened on November 30, 1994, the Beach rolled to a 71-64 win over the University of Detroit before a crowd of 5,021 and an ESPN television audience.

The structure’s distinctive cobalt blue exterior has permanently altered the city’s skyline. It rises 18 stories above north campus and can be seen for miles in all directions. It has provided a quantum leap in both the image and effectiveness of the Long Beach State Athletics programs, with an immediate impact on LBSU’s fan base, scholarship fundraising, recruiting and revenue generation. Nearly 200,000 visitors pass through the Walter Pyramid’s entrances annually.

Designed by Long Beach architect Don Gibbs and built by the Nielson Construction Company of San Diego, The Walter Pyramid cost approximately $22 million. The ‘Myd (as it is affectionately referred to by loyal fans) measures 345 feet on each side of its perfectly square base. Its floor space accommodates nine volleyball courts or three full basketball courts and four additional half basketball courts on the “activity” level.

One of three true pyramids in the Unit-ed States (others are located in Las Vegas and Memphis), The Walter Pyramid’s most unique feature is its cantilevered seating system, mounted on moveable platforms. When use of the floor level is required for physical education classes, each 81-ton seating platform can be raised hydrauli-cally to expose over 39,000 square feet of flooring.

In the summer of 2014, the original beech-wood flooring in the Pyramid was replaced with maple flooring. The main court under-went a redesign with the new floor being laid down (rendering seen to the left).




72

Long Beach State’s facilities remain some of the best in the Big West and are competitive nationally while serving as the home of the LBSU sports teams. From the university’s enduring icon, the cobalt-blue Walter Pyramid to the history and tradition of Blair Field, athletes that come to play at The Beach will showcase

their skills in only the finest home stadiums.

WALTER PYRAMIDThe Walter Pyramid has become a nationally rec-ognized icon for the university and the city of Long Beach. Because of its dramatic appearance, its unique multi-purpose capability and its lure for television pro-duction, the Walter Pyramid is one of the finest colle-giate athletic facilities in the Western United States.

One of three true pyramids in the United States, the Walter Pyramid measures 345 feet on each side of its perfectly square base. The most unique feature is in-side, where its cantilevered seating system can be raised hydraulically to expose over 39,000 square feet of maple flooring.

RHODES TENNIS CENTERLong Beach State’s new tennis facility, opened in 2008, serves as the tennis team’s home and was remodeled following a gift from former 49er tennis player and alum Terry Rhodes.

GEORGE ALLEN FIELDNamed after former LBSU football coach George Allen, the field is the home of Long Beach State women’s soc-cer, and features lights and new scoreboard installed in 2012.

JACK ROSE TRACKLong Beach State’s Jack Rose Track recently underwent a multi-million dol-lar renovation. The completed project showcases a facility that is among the very best in the United States. The centerpiece is the track and its design features. When all phases are completed, the stadium will boast seating for 5,000 spectators and allow for additional team and student seating. With this, and other important elements accomplished, this redesign will complete the vision of a national-class facility that can play host to major invitational meets

as well as NCAA and U.S. Track and Field championships.

BLAIR FIELDHome of the Dirtbags since 1993, Long Beach’s Blair Field is a perfect combination of tradition and modern function. Built on the site of the former recreation park, home at times to the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Dodgers, Blair Field has hosted numerous teams and events such as the MTV Rock & Jock Softball Game and continues to receive start-of-the-art upgrades, including a new scoreboard installed in 2009.

A CHAMPIONSHIP EDUCATION

June 21, 2006 was the grand opening of the new Bicker-staff Student-Athlete Academic Center. Formerly known as the Center for Student-Athlete Academic Services, the new center nearly triples the size of the previous space. The center provides a top-of-the-line facility for our student-athletes to get the academic support and assistance they deserve.

The center is named after Glen and Debbie Bickerstaff of Los Alamitos (pictured at right), both loyal supporters of 49er athletics. The Bickerstaffs have been involved with Long Beach State for several years and have given nearly $1 million dollars in donations to the student-athlete scholarship program. They donated $625,000 for the Legacy campaign which went towards the naming of the new center. Their second legacy commitment was for $250,000 to help with the completion of the student-athlete strength and conditioning complex.

The Bickerstaff Academic Center provides quality academic services to 49er student-athletes. This includes advising, to ensure that each student-athlete is enrolled in the appropriate courses so they may earn their degrees while maintaining athletic eligibility. The Bickerstaff Academic Center is geared to maximize student-athletes’ chances for classroom success through a developmental advising program integrating academic, student, and athletic assistance. The opening of the center provides 49er student-athletes the best academic support facility in the Big West Conference.

• Directed by Sandra Shirley, the purpose of the Center is advising to ensure that each student-athlete is enrolled in appropriate courses leading to a degree while maintaining their eligibility.

• The Bickerstaff Center for Student-Athlete Academic Services has established itself as a unique and important asset in the lives of 49er student-athletes.

• The center’s “Career Connection” program spotlights internships in the sports industry. They also offer a freshmen mentoring program which connects freshmen with veteran student-athletes.

• Each student--athlete has a file created and their progress is monitored throughout their education. He or she is aided in choosing a degree, developing proper study habits and keeping a balance between personal, scholastic and athletic lives.

• Student-athletes can choose from a multitude of renowned academic schools and 81 undergraduate degree programs. Programs in the colleges of business, physical therapy, art and engineering are nationally famous. The schools of communications, radio/television and education are also strong.

BEACH STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

In 2012, Long Beach State Strength and Conditioning moved into the Walter Pyramid, providing a better and more cohesive training experience with a move into a larger and closer facility to the majority of the teams at Long Beach State.

Overseeing the program are head strength and condi-tioning coach Jamie Hiegel and assistant coaches Chris Whittle, Frank Ramirez and Keegan Knoll. At Long Beach State, athletes are exposed to techniques that will help build a character foundation necessary to succeed in life through hard work, pride, dedication, and a commitment to excellence. All training movements are sport specific to copy a student-athlete’s performance during competi-tion. Programs are specifically designed to promote inju-ry prevention by pre-habilitating the student athlete and allow them to match the demands of their sport.

SPORTS MEDICINE

Student-athletes’ medical and injury needs are the responsibility of a highly qualified and diverse professional staff. The daily injury evaluation, management, treatment, rehabilitation, and first aid of our student-athletes is the responsibility of both head athletic trainer Jarrod Spanjer and rest of the sports medicine staff. Assisting Spanjer are assistant athletic trainers Christine Turnbull, Jessica Jewell and Patrick Talley, along with three graduate students. There are also numerous athletic training students who work under the guidance of the Certified Athletic Trainers.

Since 1987, Dr. Larry Drum has been acting as the team physician for all LBSU student-athletes and Dr. Alexandra Chrysanthis joined in practice with Dr. Drum and assists him in providing care. Since 1992, Dr. Peter Kurzweil has served as our volunteer orthopedic surgeon for all student-athletes. The physicians attend many of our home competitions and are readily available for first aid and diagnostic needs on site. There are various other highly-skilled physicians, podiatrists, and dentists who regularly volunteer their services to our student-athletes.

Certified Athletic Trainers (ATC) are on hand for all home practices and competitions and, also, for many of the away competitions that our student-athletes participate in to assist in treatments should a problem occur. LBSU athletics provides student-athletes with a state-of-the-art athletic training facility located adjacent to the Gold Mine Gymnasium and an additional, smaller treatment facility located on the playing floor of the Walter Pyramid. With well-equipped facilities and knowledgeable and capable personnel on staff, a sick or injured student-athlete at Long Beach State is assured of quality treatment.
