As president, he led a population of more than 14,600 students and nearly 1,700 employees; oversaw an annual university budget of $220 million; and supported six academic colleges and the School of Graduate Studies and Research. He also directed operations at three regional campuses.

Prior to serving as IUP president, he served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Youngstown State University in Ohio. In this capacity, he oversaw academic programs, academic policy and academic assessment.

Throughout his career, Atwater has assumed significant community leadership roles. These efforts include serving on the Governor’s Task Force on Youth and Substance Abuse Prevention in Kentucky; the Board of Trustees of the Northwest Ohio Public Television Foundation; and the Indiana County Chamber of Commerce.

NORFOLK STATE UNIVERSITY 2011 VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDEAD MARTY MILLER

Marty Miller Director of Athletics

Marty Miller has been called many things during his tenure at Norfolk State University. Some have called him a rock. Others have referred to him as one of Norfolk State’s greatest ambassadors. Regardless of the label, what’s clear is that Miller has served his alma mater in various capacities for nearly 40 years, providing NSU with stability in times of need.

His professional career at Norfolk State has included stints in the areas of financial aid, career services, student affairs and athletics. After winning more than 700 games as the school’s baseball coach, Miller was named NSU’s acting athletics director on December 16, 2004. He was appointed to the permanent athlet-ics director post on March 18, 2005.

Early in Miller’s tenure, he was con-fronted with many challenges, the biggest one being the hiring of a football coach. Miller and his search committee worked during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays to find a football coach. The hard work paid off when the decision was made to hire Pete Adrian from Bethune-Cook-man. With approval of then-President Dr.

Marie V. McDemmond, Adrian became the first white head coach in any major sport at NSU and the second in MEAC football history.

Shortly thereafter, with help from alumni, fans, friends and the Department of Facilities Management, the athletics department was able to raise funds to renovate and purchase new equipment for the weight room. In 2007, the school completed a major renovation of the NSU Softball Field, which included the installa-tion of new team dugouts and a press box. Bleacher renovations to Joseph Echols Hall were completed for the 2008-09 bas-ketball season. A new track surface was completed in the summer of 2010.

Another highlight of his tenure as ath-letics director includes NSU capturing the last seven Talmadge Layman Hill awards, given annually to the top men’s sports pro-gram in the conference. NSU has received a total of $165,000 for winning the awards. Miller was also presented in March 2006 with the Tom Fergusson Memorial Award, given annually to the area’s top sportsman by the Norfolk Sports Club.

Miller is no stranger to winning. His career record as baseball coach was 718-543-3. Miller first started making a name for himself as a player at NSU from 1965-68. He hit .380 as a sophomore; .438 with eight doubles, two triples, three hom-ers and 27 RBI as a junior; and .406 as a senior, when he became the first Spartan player to be named an NCAA College Divi-sion All-American. Miller was an All-CIAA baseball selection in 1967 and 1968, and led the nation in doubles in 1968.

Miller graduated with a bachelor’s degree in mathematics in 1969. An ROTC member in college, Miller was commis-sioned a second lieutenant in the U.S. Army after he graduated. While on active duty, Miller was signed by the Minnesota Twins. Miller returned to his alma mater in 1972 as an assistant to baseball coach Bob Andrews. The next season, Miller inherited

the head-coaching job, which he held until early in 2005.

Miller is the winningest baseball coach in CIAA history, having led the Spar-tans to a 584-374-3 record in their years in the league. Miller’s ledger in the CIAA includes 17 conference championships, including seven in a row from 1987-93; 12 post-season appearances; 15 CIAA Coach of the Year awards; six All-Americans and 22 players signed to pro contracts. He also won the 1980 NAIA District 19 Coach of the Year award after his team won the District 19 title. Between 1993-97, Miller won five consecutive Louisville Slugger Awards, given to championship coaches. He was one of a select few baseball coaches to receive the award for five consecutive years.

In 1997, NSU honored Miller by build-ing the Marty L. Miller Baseball Field. One year later, Miller led NSU to the MEAC Tournament championship round in the Spartans’ first year in the league. He was named the MEAC Coach of the Year in 2000, and NSU reached the championship round again in 2001.

The year 2003 was also a special one for Miller. In February, Miller was inducted into the CIAA’s John B. McLendon Hall of Fame. In May, Miller earned his 700th career win with the Spartans when sixth-seeded NSU upset No. 2 Delaware State in the MEAC tournament. In August, Miller the player was honored as one of eight inductees into the Norfolk State University Athletics Foundation Sports Hall of Fame.

Miller was inducted into the Hampton Roads African American Sports Hall of Fame in 2010. He was also chosen to serve in March 2011 to serve on the Hampton Roads Sports Hall of Fame Committee and is also a member of the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame Honors Court.

Miller, a native of Danville, Va., also serves as president of the Norfolk Sports Club. He and his wife Liz have one son, Marty Eric, a former NSU outfielder.

. With.a.roster.of.17.players,.including.nine.returning.letterwinners.and.six.newcomers,.Duvall.has.been.able.to.put.together.a.program.that.has.quality.depth.at.all.posi-tions,.something.NSU.has.lacked.for.more.than.10.years.

.

. “Both.will.battle.for.time,”.said.Duvall..“Kristen.has.more.experience.in.the.program.and.is.able.to.do.the.job.very.well.from.a.physical.standpoint..Megan.is.a.very.capable.setter.who.understands.the.game.and.has.a.good.volleyball.IQ.”

.

what.we.need.”

. Junior.college.transfer.Beatriz Ferreira.and.freshman.Adriana Ramos.provide.plenty.more.firepower.for.NSU’s.frontcourt.attack.and.will.look.to.replace.the.production.of.departed.players.Arielle.Knafel.and.Ellica.Morris,.who.combined.for.nearly.4.5.kills.per.set.in.2010..Ramos.will.play.exclusively.at.outside.hitter,.while.Ferreira.will.man.the.right.side.and.provide.some.solid.blocking.for.the.Spartans.

. “Both.have.a.great.attitude.and.expect.a.lot.out.of.their.teammates,”.Duvall.said..“They.each.have.a.heavy.arm,.they.are.working.extremely.hard,.and.they.want.to.start..Once.they.get.up.to.game.speed.and.improve.in.that.area,.they.have.the.potential.to.be.permanent.start-ers.”

. Duvall.is.also.expecting.big.things.this.year.out.of.freshman.middle.blocker.Jasmin Flow-ers,.NSU’s.tallest.player.at.6-foot-2.and.an.all-state.performer.out.of.Texas..Flowers,.the.5-11.Ferreira.and.Bridgewater.College.transfer.Ashley Scott,.a.6-0.junior.right.side.hitter.and.middle.blocker,.will.give.NSU.more.size.up.front,.an.area.that.was.one.of.NSU’s.biggest.weak-nesses.last.year.

. “They.give.us.the.size.and.physical.presence.we.haven’t.seen.since.I’ve.been.here,”.said.Duvall..“They.are.big.defensive.threats.with.their.net.presence,.and.now.it’s.just.a.matter.of.getting.them.up.to.speed.on.of-fense.
