AmericanAmericanUniversityUniversity

Situated within the northwest quadrant of Washington, D.C., American University’s traditional-style campus has much to offer students in the way of comfort, modern conveniences, and quick, easy access to city life.

Our 84-acre, tree-lined campus, which was designated as a National Arboretum, is located at the top of Embassy Row in one of the most attractive, safe, and residential areas of our nation’s capital.

The center of campus, also referred to as “the quad,” is a focal point of student life not only because our academic buildings line its grassy borders, but also because it’s a place to meet-and-greet with friends and student groups, catch an impromptu game of ultimate frisbee or take part in an after-class debrief with professors.

Another favorite spot on campus is the beach volleyball pit located between the athletics fi elds. The adjacent grassy hillside is also a well known hangout for students on game days.

“The Olympic Games in Beijing were an incredible experience -- both as an opportunity to compete against the world’s best in the biggest arena sport has to offer and as a culmination of years of intense training and preparation. From the lighting of the Olympic torch in the Birds Nest to the atmosphere in the Olympic village to the daily chance to play and coach the game at its highest level, the games were a total thrill. While we did not leave China with a medal around our necks, an entire team without Olympic experience embraced the true spirit of the moment -- while other teams played it safe, we played to win -- each and every game. In the end, the team’s efforts made all of us, and hopefully an entire nation, proud.”

Steve Jennings has been a well-known fi gure in national and international fi eld hockey for two decades both as a coach and player, including serving as a coach on the 2008 United States Olympic Field Hockey Team.

Jennings is entering his 12th season as the head coach of AU’s women’s fi eld hockey program, where he has amassed a 145-72 (.668) career record. Under Jennings’ leadership, the Eagles have claimed an unprecedented seven consecutive Patriot League Championships and enjoyed a 46-game win streak against Patriot League opponents. Jennings has been named Patriot League Coach of the Year six times, including each of the past fi ve seasons.

Living the Olympic Dream

Prior to the 2008 AU fi eld hockey season, Jennings performed on fi eld hockey’s grandest stage – the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. He served as assistant coach for the U.S. National Women’s Field Hockey team, which captured eighth place in the event.

Jennings helped guide the U.S. team to a 6-0 record in winning the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Kazan, Russia. In the title match, the U.S. team defeated Belgium, 3-1, to clinch a berth to Beijing.

“Being involved in the Olympic team is such a tremendous honor – defi nitely a peak life experience that is hard to put into words,” Jennings said. “In the end, it meant getting a chance to see if you can be the absolute best and the power of being surrounded by people who have given literally everything they have to be there.”

International Coaching Experience

In addition to the Beijing Olympics, Jennings has assisted in two World Cups helping the U.S. in 2002 to a ninth place fi nish in Perth, Australia, and earning a sixth place fi nish

in 2006 in Madrid, Spain. At the 2007 Pan American Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Jennings helped the U.S. earn a

silver medal after falling to No. 2 world-ranked Argentina 4-2 in the title match. An international coaching career that began in 2000 has also seen him travel with the national program to Holland, Germany, New Zealand, India, Argentina, Chile, Japan, Bermuda, England and

Italy.

Jennings also holds a Level III coaching certifi cation – the highest level for fi eld hockey in the United States. In May 2008, he became the fi rst U.S. citizen to be awarded the title of FIH Coach – High Performance after an FIH fi nals course held in conjunction with the Champions Trophy in Monchengladbach, Germany.

2009: Another Patriot League Championship

The 2009 season was another stellar campaign for Jennings’ Eagles. AU claimed the Patriot League Championship with a 2-0 victory over Lafayette. The Eagles went on to defeat Lock Haven, 2-1, in the NCAA Play-In Game to earn a trip to the NCAA Tournament Round of

16, where they were defeated by number one ranked Maryland.

In addition to the team’s success, many of Jennings’ student-athletes took home individual honors for their efforts during the 2009 season. Senior Anne-Meike de Wiljes was named a

Under her tutelage, Denise Infante, ‘08, garnered back-to-back All-America honors in 2006 and 2007 while Anne-Meike de Wiljes, ‘10, was named an All-American in 2009. Since joining the Patriot League in 2001, American has earned seven conference defensive player of the year honors.

In a memorable 2005 season, Krombolz helped American University’s defense rank seventh in the country in scoring defense, holding opponents to an average of 1.22 goals per game. The 2005 team achieved national rankings as high as fourth in the country, eventually fi nishing the season sixth.

Krombolz directed her own camp through Revolution Camps at Jacobs Field for fi ve seasons, spreading her extensive knowledge and expertise to high schoolers. Krombolz also formerly served as the head coach and site director for the USFHA Futures Northern Virginia Site at American and spent two seasons as an assistant coach with the Maryland High Performance Team.

Playing Career

As a four-year starter at Iowa, Krombolz was an All-America selection in 1999, a two time All-Region honoree (1998, 1999) and a three-time All-Big Ten selection. As a senior captain and the team’s co-MVP, Krombolz was named to the Big Ten All-Tournament Team on the way to leading her squad to the 1999 NCAA Final Four. The Hawkeyes went 9-0 overall and 5-0 in the Big Ten on their home turf at Grant Field in that season, just one win away from matching the perfect 10-0 record set in 1992.

Krombolz currently resides in Washington, D.C., with her husband, Steve, and their two daughters, Hayden and Elle.

• American will look to capture its eighth consecutive Patriot League Regular Season and Tournament Championship in 2010 while also seeking its seventh NCAA Tournament appearance in eight years.

• Christine Fingerhuth, a 2008 Third Team All-American and three-time All-Mid-Atlantic Region honoree, will lead the Eagles on the fi eld in 2010. Last season Fingerhuth totaled a career-high 29 points on 13 goals and three assists, and was named Patriot League Offensive Player of the Year. Fingerhuth currently ranks 10th all-time at American with 34 career goals and 13th with 78 career points.

• Anne van Erp, a two-time All-Mid-Atlantic Region and All-Patriot League Second Team selection, will anchor American’s midfi eld in 2010. Van Erp’s ten assists last season ranked second in the Patriot League as she added two goals to fi nish the year with 14 points.

• Kirstin Gebhart, an All-Mid-Atlantic Region selection in 2008 and two-time All-Patriot League Second Team selection, will also star in the midfi eld in 2010. Gebhart recorded two goals, eight assists, and a team-high four defensive saves last season, while helping American record the conference’s highest scoring margin at +1.54 goals per game.

• On defense, 2008 Patriot League Rookie of the Year Tatum Dyer will look to improve upon her stellar sophomore campaign. Dyer was an All-Patriot League Second Team selection in 2009 and helped anchor an Eagles defensive unit which allowed only 1.62 goals per game, the 13th best mark in the country.

• Melissa Casale will pair with Fingerhuth at forward looking to continue her strong play from a season ago. Casale contributed 11 goals and fi ve assists during

the 2009 season, tying for second on the team with 27 points. Her 1.35 points per game average ranked third in the Patriot League.

• Jenn Bradley and Natalie Ellenberger will also play key roles at forward and midfi eld for the Eagles. Bradley started 20 of 21 games at midfi eld last season and scored one goal with one assist. Ellenberger, also a midfi elder, tallied 10 points as a freshman in 2008 but was limited in 2009 after returning from an injury.

• Newcommers Jaclyn Anspach, Keelin Bannon, Jaclyn Beasley, Stephanie Burry, Ashley Dalisera, Gina Hofmann, Alex McMackin, Shelly Montgomery, Costanza Palma and Lotte van de Mierop will add both depth and talent to American’s squad in 2010. Anspach, Bannon, Beasley, Burry, Dalisera and Montgomery combined for 12 state championships, three regional All-America selections and two Junior Olympic Team selections in high school. Hofmann and Palma, who hail from Germany and Chile, respectively, were both members of their country’s U-18 national teams while Palma also competed for the Chilaen U-21 team and senior team.

Cornelius Kerwin was named president in the 2007-08 academic year after serving as acting and interim president since August 24, 2005. Dr. Kerwin is a longstanding member of the AU community. He earned a BA from American University in 1971 (followed by an MA in political science from the University of Rhode Island in 1973, and a PhD in political science from Johns Hopkins University in 1978) and has been a member of the AU faculty since 1975. He held a number of prominent leadership positions within the School of Public Affairs, including serving as dean from 1989 to 1997, acting provost from 1997 to 1998, and provost from 1998 to 2005.

A longtime supporter of AU athletics, Dr. Kerwin endorsed AU’s decision to move to the Patriot League in 2001, joining Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Army, and Navy in athletic competition that has resulted in 30 Patriot League championships (fi eld hockey, men’s cross country, women’s cross country, women’s lacrosse, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and women’s volleyball, and men’s basketball). Since fall 2005, the Department of Athletics and Recreation has reported directly to Dr. Kerwin, a move that refl ects the strong relationship between academic and athletic achievement at AU.

As provost, Dr. Kerwin was the university’s chief academic offi cer, leading approximately 475 full-time teaching faculty in AU’s six schools and colleges (College of Arts and Sciences, Kogod School of Business, School of Communication, School of International Service, School of Public Affairs, and Washington College of Law). Among the offi ces he supervised are: admissions, fi nancial aid, the Offi ce of Institutional Research and Assessment, the University Library, the Offi ce of the Registrar, and the Washington Semester Program and those reporting to the Dean of Academic Affairs (including the General Education and Honors Programs). His accomplishments as provost

include: working with deans and faculty to complete AU’s master’s and doctoral program reviews; overseeing creation of the University College Program for fi rst-year undergraduate students; leading the process to restructure faculty governance and create a new Faculty Senate; and overseeing AU’s decennial self-study that resulted in the Middle States Association Commission’s unconditional reaccreditation. Dr. Kerwin also advanced major efforts to support faculty scholarship, teaching, service, and diversity; bring faculty salaries to the AAUP–Level 1 standard; and develop plans for assessing student learning.

A professor of public administration in the School of Public Affairs, Dr. Kerwin is a nationally recognized specialist in public policy, with emphasis on the regulatory process. He teaches courses in administrative process, policy implementation, and American government and is actively engaged in research. Dr. Kerwin founded and directs AU’s Center for the Study of Rulemaking. He is the author of Rulemaking: How Government Agencies Write Law and Make Policy (3rd ed., 2003, Congressional Quarterly Press) and the coauthor of How Washington Works: The Executives Guide to Government (3rd ed., 1996). His scholarly articles have appeared in Public Administration Review, Journal of Politics, Policy Studies Review, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory, Judicature, Justice System Journal, and Harvard Journal on Legislation.

American University named Keith Gill its seventh Director of Athletics and Recreation on June 1, 2007.

As Director of Athletics, Gill oversees the operations of all American University intercollegiate and intramural athletic programs, including more than 250 student-athletes participating in 16 varsity sports, the majority of which compete in the Patriot League Conference.

In three years at American, Gill has helped to lead the athletics department to never before seen successes including back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Tournament. Since his arrival Gill has also seen the volleyball team win a record eighth Patriot League Championship, the fi eld hockey team win a record seventh straight Patriot League Championship and the women’s basketball team make three consecutive postseason appearances for the fi rst time in program history. Individually, American has crowned 14 All-Americans over the past three seasons.

The Eagles have fl ourished in the classroom as well under Gill’s guidance as American’s 16 teams have

continued their streak of 20 consecutive semesters with a combined GPA over 3.0. During the 2009-10 academic year, 159 student-athletes were named to the university’s Dean’s List and the department recorded a record 3.37 combined GPA.

Prior to coming to American, Gill spent three years at the University of Oklahoma. He oversaw a major portion of OU athletics, including men’s basketball, women’s soccer and baseball, and the supervision of personnel, budgets, facilities, fundraising, student-athlete issues and the selection and evaluation of coaches for these sports. He worked with the AD and staff in overseeing the strategic and annual planning process for the department.

Gill was the director of membership services at the NCAA from 2000 to 2004. He developed and communicated policies related to Division I intercollegiate athletics, including governance, rules compliance, diversity, gender equity, academic integrity, student-athlete welfare, fi scal integrity, strategic planning, sportsmanship and legislation.
