There is a lot to be excited about at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. Our campus is transforming as a state-of-the-art library grows right before our eyes, while the Aquatics and Recreation Center (ARC) has transformed the look and function of the north entrance to UTC. Things are well positioned to allow us to aggressively pursue our mission of becoming a top-five public master's university in the south. The progress is no different in the athletics program. Four teams won Southern Conference crowns and six were represented in NCAA postseason play. Over the last five years, our Mocs have captured 17 regular season and 19 tournament championships in SoCon action, far more than any other school in the league. The Mocs have been just as impressive in their academic endeavors. For six straight semesters, our student-athletes have increased their cumulative grade-point-average. That is an outstanding accomplishment and points toward their dedication to continuous improvement. This academic excellence, coupled with athletic dominance, is impressive. Even more so when you consider the amount of hours of community service they perform on their own time. One thing is for certain, your support is vital to our past, current and future success. My hope is that you will continue in helping Mocs Athletics establish comprehensive excellence as the UTC standard. Sincerely, Dr. Roger G. Brown Chancellor 2 2010-11 YEAR IN REVIEW CHATTANOOGA ATHLETICS This is a very exciting time for the Chattanooga Mocs as we have been working hard to prepare for the 2011-12 athletics season. We are always moving forward but it is important that we take time to celebrate our accomplishments, not only in 2010-11, but also over the last five years. One of the things that drew me to Chattanooga was the great tradition of the Mocs athletics programs and the potential for growth at UTC. Upon joining the Chattanooga community as your Director of Athletics, we quickly went to work to develop a plan for the future of the Mocs worthy of our potential. The resulting strategic plan identified eight areas of focus to help us advance toward the Vision of Mocs Athletics: to establish comprehensive excellence as the UTC standard. As you read through the pages of our Year in Review, you are going to see many of the accomplishments achieved over the last year; Academically, Athletically and Socially. You are also going to read about these eight areas and the progress we have made together over the last five years. I am fortunate to work with an extremely talented and dedicated group of student-athletes, coaches, staff, faculty and University administrators who have helped to advance our strategic plan at a faster pace than I ever could have anticipated. Of course, your support has also been instrumental in our success and for that we are grateful. I invite you to contact me if you have questions, suggestions or concerns regarding the direction of Chattanooga Athletics. Your feedback is important and appreciated. Go Mocs! Sincerely, Rick Hart Director of Intercollegiate Athletics 3 2010-11 YEAR IN REVIEW MOCS MISSION VISION & CORE VALUES OUR VISION To establish comprehensive excellence as the UTC standard. OUR MISSION We guide, encourage and support our student-athletes in their quest for comprehensive excellence - academically, athletically and socially. Above all else, we prepare students for productive and meaningful lives. OUR CORE VALUES Six core values guide and govern our actions at all times. Integrity: We can be counted upon to `do the right thing.' Respect: We treat ourselves and others with dignity and respect. Positive Attitude: We expect the best of ourselves and others. Premier Service: We work together to take care of people. Accountability: We are an important part of a great team. Continuous Improvement: We are always learning and seeking a `better way.' 4 2010-11 YEAR IN REVIEW STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES EXPLANATION OF THE FIVE-YEAR PLAN When Rick Hart came to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, he brought with him a vision and plan for the future of the Mocs. Since his hiring on May 23, 2006, Hart has changed the landscape of the UTC Athletics Department with his leadership, organizational skills and innovative ideas on how to fulfill the Mocs' mission of preparing students for productive and meaningful lives. This change was set in motion five years ago with the implementation of a Strategic Plan for Mocs Athletics. This plan focused on eight objectives that are detailed below. Throughout the 201011 Year in Review, you will see references to how the Mocs have improved over the last five years in these specific areas. Academics � The Value of a Quality Education Areas of focus include academic support facilities, learning and teaching resources, summer school and post-eligibility aid and relationships on campus. We provide an environment that fosters learning and challenges students to grow their intellectual interests and abilities. Athletics � Broad Competitive Excellence Areas of focus include championship-caliber facilities, scholarship support, recruiting resources and access to quality coaches. We compete for (move towards) and capture championships with integrity and sportsmanship. Social Development � Real-World Ready Areas of focus include life skills, personal development, leadership and career placement. We assist in the growth and development of our student-athletes and, in the process, they become better people. Compliance � Integrity of Actions Areas of focus include providing guidance to the entire UTC community with regard to the rules, regulations and standards which mandate integrity and fair play in all of our affairs. We exist to effectively promote and protect the health and wellbeing of our student-athletes, our department of athletics and the institution. Budget � Acquisition and Distribution of Resources Areas of focus include the student-athlete experience, risk management, equity and inclusion, operating support and revenue generation. We are responsible and accountable for the financial viability of our entire program. Support Services � Our People Areas of focus include facilities, organizational structure, professional development, competitive wages and access to technology. We serve as advocates and guardians to student-athletes and the Department of Athletics.

Looking back at the academic achievements last season, Continuous Improvement was certainly the theme for UTC student-athletes. New standards were set in grade-pointaverages, Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores and academic accolades throughout the entire program. The biggest story of the year was the Mocs improving their overall g.p.a. for the sixth semester in a row. UTC set a program high with a 2.95 g.p.a. in the fall and topped that with a 2.97 in the spring. In addition, for three straight semesters over half of all Chattanooga student-athletes made the Athletics Director's Honor Roll with a 3.0 g.p.a. or higher. "Our student-athletes continue to amaze me in the way they raise the bar every semester," stated Director of Athletics Rick Hart. "Each time our overall g.p.a. goes up, it gets harder and harder to increase, yet we continue to set records in the classroom. This is truly a testament of their hard work and dedication to achieving comprehensive excellence." Another big story in the classroom was Chattanooga's improvement in its APR performance. All 17 of the Mocs teams posted a single-year APR score of 933 or higher for the first time since the scores began six years ago. The football team is also clear of all penalties for the first time and had the highest single-season improvement in the Southern Conference. As you can see, Chattanooga's academic success is seen across the board. Of the 17 programs at UTC, 16 received some form of team or individual academic recognition during the year. "We have invested a lot of energy and resources into supporting our student-athletes in their academic endeavors," added Hart. "The response has been rewarding for everyone involved and I hope our academic achievements are a source of pride for our program, the University and the Chattanooga community." More Academic Honors in 2010-11 � School-record 78 student-athletes named to the fall, winter and spring Academic All-Southern Conference Teams. � Led the Southern Conference with seven Student-Athlete of the Week honors. � School-record 33 student-athletes made a 4.0 g.p.a. in the 2011 spring semester. � Both the men's and women's cross country teams were named USTFCCA All-Academic.

As a result, the academic performance of the Mocs' studentathletes has grown tremendously. Dr. Emily Blackman, Assistant Athletics Director for Student Support Services, has a dual reporting role to the Director of Athletics and Academic Affairs. This relationship has helped to strengthen the ties between athletics and the main campus and has been very beneficial to all of our student-athletes. Dr. Emily Blackman Assistant A.D. Student Support Services ACADEMICS Through fund raising and a strategic allocation of funds, more and more Mocs are able to attend summer school, continue to receive support after their eligibility expires and receive top-quality academic support during their academic careers. The 2008 women's cross country team personified comprehensive excellence, winning the SoCon title and posting the highest team g.p.a. in the NATION with a 3.55 cumulative mark. THE PUSH TO The Mocs began to officially track the overall grade-point-average of its student-athletes in the 2007 spring semester. As the chart to the left shows, UTC has increased its g.p.a. in each of the last six semesters. We are closing in on our goal of a 3.0 g.p.a. across the board. At the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, the Athletics Director's Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes with a 3.0 semester g.p.a. Over half of the Mocs have earned this distinction in each of the last four semesters. In addition, over 40% of all student-athletes at UTC made the Dean's List with a 3.2 g.p.a. in each of the last two semesters. 3.0 8 2010-11 YEAR IN REVIEW BROAD COMPETITIVE EXCELLENCE Since the start of the 2006-07 season, the Mocs have won far more Southern Conference Championships than any other school in the league. The chart to the left shows Chattanooga's 17 regular season and 19 tournament crowns in league play. Appalachian State is a distant second with nine regular season and 17 tournament trophies.

UTC advanced to the regional finals for the first time. � Softball senior Tiffany Baker became the SoCon all-time home run leader, finishing with 50 in her career. � Women's golf repeated as Southern Conference Champions in just the fourth year of the program. The Mocs made their fourth NCAA postseason appearance in as many seasons. � Wrestling won its seventh consecutive SoCon title. The Mocs have not lost a league match since Feb. 14, 2004, a streak of 35-straight regular season outings. The Chattanooga Mocs put together another impressive list of athletic accomplishments during the 2010-11 season. UTC won four Southern Conference titles, sent five teams to the NCAA Championships and had its third-best showing in the Learfield Sports NACDA Director's Cup in school history. Individually, UTC had one All-American, five SoCon Athletes of the Year, 11 SoCon Champions, one SoCon Tournament MVP, two SoCon Freshmen of the Year and three SoCon Coaches of the Year. The Mocs also brought home 43 All-SoCon honors while 13 student-athletes made various SoCon All-Freshmen teams. "I am very proud of the way our student-athletes and coaches conduct themselves in competition," stated Director of Athletics Rick Hart. "We win championships with Integrity and Respect while relaying a Positive Attitude to our fans." Over the last five years, UTC has dominated the SoCon when it comes to winning titles. The Mocs have scored 17 regular season and 19 tournament trophies since the start of the 2006-07 season, far more than any other school in the SoCon. Additionally, UTC placed 136th in the Directors' Cup standings. That is well into � Men's basketball won the SoCon North the top half of all 345 NCAA Division I athletics programs and tied for the Mocs' Division crown for the eighth time.

Chattanooga student-athletes have an established reputation of excelling in the classroom, being winners in competition and selflessly giving their time to volunteer efforts throughout the Scenic City. Each individual program involves itself as much as it can based on class, practice and competition schedules, while the Mocs' Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) takes a leadership role in organizing department-wide initiatives. "We have amazing community involvement among all of our programs and student-athletes," stated Director of Athletics Rick Hart. "There is a sense of civic responsibility among the Mocs that is not fabricated or manufactured.

Each year, SAAC pushes the Mocs' involvement and participation in a number of volunteer efforts. Nearly all of the available teams run in the annual Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, while the football and track & field programs help to administrate the event. SAAC was also the driving force behind many of the Lady Mocs' pink games promoting breast cancer awareness. Promotion of the Mocs' participation in "Read Across America" on March 2 was also spearheaded by SAAC. Another SAAC project was the organization of over three dozen student-athletes and coaches during National Volunteer Week April 10-16. The Mocs were seen throughout town helping clean up a city block, working the Special Olympics and conducting a clothing drive. UTC Athletics also set up future events and appearances as a part of the weeklong focus on volunteerism. Each Mocs squad also had its own volunteer and community projects. These ranged from working with Habitat for Humanity, to speaking to youth groups, to hosting the Girls Scouts' Sports-A-Thon. The Mocs were again well represented in the Susan G.

The Lady Mocs softball program adopted Amanda Swartout as an honorary teammate through the "Friends of Jaclyn Foundation." 13 2010-11 YEAR IN REVIEW SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT FIVE-YEAR REVIEW Part of the mission of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga is to be an engaged, metropolitan University. Over the last five years, the Mocs have reached out to the Scenic City through numerous volunteer efforts. Chattanooga student-athletes have fostered a reputation for being involved in many community projects. The football team's yearly involvement with Special Olympics, wrestling's effort to help clean up the 2010 Nashville floods and softball's clothing and supply drive for the April 2011 tornado victims are just some examples of how the Mocs give back. Community involvement also includes engagement in other areas. In 2009, the Mocs were adopted by NBC's Late Show as their team of the NCAA Tournament.
