15 In 1914, we were the future. Ninety years later, we still are. The University of Texas at El Paso began as a mining and metallurgy college in the remote West Texas desert in 1914, and has since become a major urban institution and model in the state and across the nation. Located on the border of Texas and Juárez, Mexico the world s largest binational metropolitan area with a population of more than two million people UTEP s student population mirrors the region it serves. Its more than 18,500 students are primarily Hispanic and firstgeneration college students. UTEP diversity is also reflected in its international population, about 12 percent of the student body. The achievements of the more than 76,500 students who have graduated from UTEP over its 90-year history are proof that a university fundamentally committed to its community and students can also achieve high levels of excellence in academic programs and research. UTEP is the largest Mexican-American majority university in the United States. As the principal institution of higher learning in West Texas, the university serves as a vital force for the economic, academic and cultural advancement of the bicultural region. The National Science Foundation designated UTEP a Model Institution for Excellence one of only six institutions nationwide, resulting in a multi-million dollar grant to support the university s science, computer science, engineering and mathematics programs. As UTEP continues to grow and develop, it will exert even more positive influence on economic, technological and social advancements in this region. Campus Setting UTEP s unique buildings are derived from the architecture, particularly monasteries, found in the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan. The campus includes 86 buildings on 366 acres and recently embarked on one of the largest construction projects in school history. A new Academic Services Building, Biosciences Building and an addition to the Engineering and Science Complex will be ready for students in A women s softball field will also be ready to showcase in 2005, and a 1927 building last used as a storage facility was inaugurated as the Stanlee and Gerald Rubin Center for the Visual Arts in fall Other notable facilities include the 51,500-seat Sun Bowl Stadium; the 12,000-seat Don Haskins Center; and the 65,000-square-foot Larry K.

UTEP also sports a modern fine arts complex with galleries; recital halls and theaters; a museum of natural and cultural history; a six-story University Library; and an Undergraduate Learning Center that features the latest in computer instructional technology. Academic Programs UTEP has an increasing portfolio of academic programs, offering students 81 bachelor s, 74 master s and 13 doctoral degrees with more on the way. Doctoral programs in nursing and pharmacy are also available through cooperative programs, as well as three Web-based master s degree programs. The university s six colleges business administration, education, engineering, liberal arts, health sciences and science also house an array of specialty programs aimed to develop students special skills. The Center for Law and Border Studies develops resources for legal research, education and outreach in the region. One of its major successes is the Law School Preparation Institute, which helps students prepare for and succeed in law school. About two-thirds of LSPI students who applied to law school enrolled in the top law schools in the nation. The Sam Donaldson Center for Communication Studies provides enrichment programs to print and broadcast journalism students. The recently established Ruben Salazar Spanish Language Media Program allows undergraduate students to take print and electronic media courses in Spanish to prepare them for the growing market. UTEP has an active honors program and students have the opportunity to earn the university honors certificate or honors degree. Research Capabilities UTEP is nationally recognized for the research opportunities it affords both undergraduate and graduate students. Faculty and students work together to develop and participate in research projects relevant and beneficial to this region. A Washington Advisory Group report commissioned by the UT System states UTEP is positioned to become a top-tier research university and praised the university for developing research programs and attracting federal funding over the last 15 years. UTEP has nearly $33 million in external research funding and ranks fifth in federal research funding expenditures among public colleges and universities in Texas. Funding comes from such agencies as the National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy, the Environmental Protection Agency and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Student Profile The university s student population closely mirrors the demographics of the region from which UTEP draws more than 90 percent of its students. 82 percent are from El Paso County and commute daily 71 percent are Hispanic 13 percent are Anglo 12 percent are international 10.6 percent are natives of Mexico 45 percent male, 55 percent female Average age: Undergraduate, 24; Graduate, 34 Faculty UTEP employs nearly 1,000 full-time and parttime faculty committed to fostering the achievement of students goals and aspirations. UTEP s top-notch educators (93 percent are tenured-track) are focused on student learning, development and success. UTEP also has one of the highest percentages of minority, primarily Hispanic, faculty among universities in the United States. Athletics Since 1967 UTEP has been a member of the Western Athletic Conference. UTEP has won 21 national championships, including 20 as WAC members. Most notably, the Miners won the 1966 NCAA men s basketball championship under Hall of Fame Coach Don Haskins and remain the only Texas school to have won an NCAA title. Starting in July 2005, UTEP will join the Conference USA family, a move that promises to elevate UTEP to a whole new playing field. Miner athletics were reinvigorated the past year with the hiring of Mike Price as head football coach and, after more than a decade s absence, the men s basketball team s return to the NCAA Tournament. UTEP student-athletes compete in football, men s and women s basketball, men s and women s indoor and outdoor track and field, men s and women s cross country, men s and women s golf, as well as women s volleyball, rifle, soccer, softball and tennis.

18 The MINER ATHLETE ACADEMIC CENTER (MAAC) is the first center of its kind at UTEP and is conveniently located in the center of campus. The MAAC was created to provide progressive academic services to student-athletes to ensure compliance with UTEP, WAC and NCAA academic eligibility standards. The MAAC has expanded its role to promote the individual and educational goals of each UTEP student-athlete. Each sport is assigned an athletic academic advisor whose primary responsibility is to serve as an advisor and mentor for student-athletes; to assist with educational goal setting, degree plans, and course selection; and to calculate and certify NCAA academic eligibility. Student-athletes are advised every semester by both their respective colleges and their athletic academic advisors in the MAAC. The MAAC recognizes that one of student-athletes' greatest challenges is to maintain the delicate balance between academics and athletics. In response to such challenges, the MAAC has implemented its Three-Part Academic Support Program to provide a solid foundation from which student-athletes will cultivate the skills needed to successfully complete their college experience. The program requires student-athletes to meet with their appointed advisor weekly; offers one-on-one tutoring; and provides a large study area and computer lab for study hall. The MAAC computer lab houses 25 state-of-the-art "thin client" computers with the latest software, complete internet access and two laser printers. Computer lab, tutoring and study hall hours are Monday through Thursday 7:30 a.m.- 9p.m.; Friday 7:30 a.m.-5 p.m.; and Sunday 2-7 p.m NCAA Team Titles

Named after UTEP (then Texas College of Mines and Metallurgy) professor and athletic booster John W. Kidd, the facility was shared with the UTEP football team until 1962, when the facility became sole home to the track and field team. The track features an eight-lane Mondo Track, the same surface used for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. The track was made possible by generous donations from Wayne and Russ Vandenburg of EPT Management and Mark Fry. In 2003, UTEP renovated its offices and locker room and also added a student-athlete lounge. The lit facility also houses throws and jumps arenas, making Kidd Field one of the top trackonly complexes in the country. Improvements continue to reshape the complex, as new aluminum bleachers were added in During the summer of 2004, the track was repainted. Kidd Field will be the site of two home meets this season. The Miners will open the outdoor campaign with the Springtime Invitational on April 2. Then the Miners will host the highly-regarded Spira Invitational on April 16. Record times have always been synonymous with Kidd Field. At the 1994 UTEP Invitational, former Miner Olapade Adeniken set the Kidd Field 100-meter record, a blazing 9.95 seconds. Obadele Thompson, then just a freshman, set the world junior 100 record in the same race with a time of In 1996, Thompson topped his mark in the 100 with a wind-aided 9.69, the fastest performance under any conditions in history. 499 NCAA All-Americans 3

67 Bob Kitchens Head Coach 17th Season At UTEP Texas Tech 68 The head man of the UTEP track and field program, Bob Kitchens enters his 36th year of coaching and continues to build one of the nation s top track programs, while developing champions both on and off the track. Kitchens has made studying and coaching the sprints his life work. The UTEP boss has tutored no less than five world record-holding sprinters and six different NCAA champion sprinters. His sprinters have also gained 63 All-American titles in the 16 years that he has been in El Paso - a rate of four All-Americans per year. Robert Lynn Kitchens was born in Plainview, a small community located on the high Texas plains. However, much of his childhood was spent on a ranch near Silverton, an even smaller community in the same general area. At Silverton High School, Kitchens lettered in both track and football. As a schoolboy athlete, he ran the 100 and 200 and was a member of both sprint relay teams-all races in which he has had a great impact as a coach. Not a highly-recruited athlete, Kitchens walked on at Texas Tech as a freshman and eventually earned a track scholarship. He was a member of the Red Raider track team for four years and earned letters three times in the same events in which he competed in his high school days. Bob Kitchens File Birthdate: July 8, 1944 Hometown: Silverton, Texas High School: Silverton H.S. College: B.S. Education Texas Tech 68 M.S. Education West Texas State 70 Family: Wife Shirley, daughters Candice, Morgandy, Kristy, Janet Coaching Career: Head Track & Field Coach UTEP, 1988-present Head Track & Field Coach Mississippi State, Head Track & Field Coach West Texas State, Track & Field Graduate Assistant Texas Tech, NCAA Team Titles

68 His eligibility complete, Kitchens remained in Lubbock, where he became a student assistant while finishing his degree in physical education. Soon after the completion of his degree at Texas Tech, he was recommended for the newly-created position of head track coach at West Texas State University (now West Texas A&M). Kitchens first track team was composed of mostly walk-ons, but before he finished his tenure with the Buffaloes, he had coached six All-Americans, won the 1976 Missouri Valley Conference Championship and was named coach of the year twice. In addition to his coaching duties, Kitchens taught physical education classes. In 1978 Kitchens began building a women s track program at West Texas State and was married to his wife Shirley. In 1979, Kitchens moved with his wife and daughter to Starkville, Miss., where he took the head coaching job at Mississippi State University. He remained with the Bulldogs for nine years, where he produced 28 All-Americans and three NCAA champions. His tenure at MSU was highlighted by leading the 1,600-meter relay team to the NCAA title (his first ever). In 1987, Kitchens coached shot-putter Gary Frank to a 67-foot plus effort to take the NCAA title. The following year Kitchens coached sprinter Lorenzo Daniel to an NCAA record-breaking time of in the 200 at the national meet. His record still stands today. Kitchens athletes have held both the NCAA indoor and outdoor meet records: Daniel at outdoors and UTEP standout Obadele Thompson at indoors (record broken in 2000). The August following Daniel s record, Kitchens was given the head coaching position at UTEP. Suddenly, Kitchens was back in west Texas and in charge of one of the most successful programs in NCAA track history. When he arrived at UTEP, he found the program a weak image of its former self. He discovered that the talent of the individual athletes was almost nonexistent compared to the world-beaters of years past. Kitchens gathered his resolve, and went about the task of rebuilding UTEP track and field from the ground up. He took a group of athletes that was short on talent but long on work ethic, and began the road back to the top. His first recruiting class would be a harbinger of the type of international talent that would come to define the Miner program. He brought in quality talent, including Olapade Adeniken of Nigeria, who remained listed in the world 100 rankings long after his graduation. Adeniken went on an NCAA tear, particularly in his senior year, winning two NCAA titles and setting the NCAA 100 meet record (9.97). Adeniken also is the former world record-holder in the indoor 100. Kitchens takes pride in the fact his former athletes own or have set NCAA meet records, but it only starts there.
