In its inaugural season of competition the Stetson lacrosse team enjoyed a number of successes on and off the fi eld in 2013. The Hatters won their fi rst game ever in a 19-7 home victory over Kennesaw State on Apr. 14, they went 2-2 in Atlantic Sun Conference play, and the program reached the conference semifi nals in its fi rst year of existence.

With 16 letter-winners returning, 11 of 12 starters back from a year ago, and a crop of 11 newcomers, the 2014 version of the Stetson lacrosse team is prepared to take big strides in the development of the program.

“The experience of that fi rst year for the coaching staff helped us work out many kinks with logistics, the processes in place here at Stetson, and to get a feel for what works and what doesn’t work for our program,” second-year head coach Nicole Moore said. “This year we have more insight to help us prepare our stu-dent-athletes for success.

“Every year holds its unique set of challenges, and that is what can make each individual year special and memorable with the right mindset,” Moore went on to say. “We are building the mindset of our team to see challenges as opportunities for growth and achievement of excellence.”

The 2013 season provided many challenges for the fi rst-year program that started the year with 13 straight losses, but the Hatters excelled during A-Sun play, winning their fi nal two games to earn the third seed in the conference tournament.

A number of Stetson’s student-athletes earned individual accolades for their efforts as well. Five returning sophomores – Maylis Broderick, Cai-li Guilday, Danielle Horgan, Paige Levesque, and Mary Kate O’Sullivan – were named to the A-Sun All-Freshman Team, Horgan and O’Sullivan earned All-Conference Second Team honors, and an additional sophomore

was recently named to the Preseason All-Conference Team in Amanda Parker.

“Our returners were all part of building the foundation that we are continuing to build,” Moore said. “We are learning every day, and that is something special. As a coaching staff, we are grateful for those team players who come to practice or to train, day in and day out, ready to learn, ready to compete, and ready to be great team-mates. It makes this experience the worthwhile experience that coach-ing can be.”

More important than successes on the fi eld, though, for Moore, is what her student-athletes get out of the experience playing lacrosse and being a part of this program.

“I want this team to realize that this experience is more than just win-ning,” she said. “Yes, we go hard every day to prepare to win, and we have that inner burning, desire, and intensity to win, but what is even more precious than a win is seeing the potential, the growth, the goodness, and the ability in themselves and in their teammates. I want for them to put themselves on the line for their teammates, to play for each other, to work for each other, to support one another, and at the end of the day, to know that the connections they have made with their teammates and coaches are special and will empower them in their future endeavors. When this is achieved, winning comes much more easily.”

Stetson, which plays 12 of its 17 regular season games at home, begins its 2014 journey on Friday at 7:00 p.m., taking on the fi rst of two [also Florida] nationally ranked opponents this year. The Hatters will play Syracuse at ESPN Wide World of Sports as a part of U.S. Lacrosse’s Champion Challenge.

“It is always an amazing opportunity to play the highest caliber teams in our sport,” Moore concluded. “Syracuse and Florida exhibit the characteristics that we are building towards. To open up against Syr-acuse down at ESPN Wide World of Sports is an exclusive one, and the experience is special for our student athletes. Every opportunity that we step out on the fi eld together, as one, is an opportunity to get better, grow, go after our goals, and in the end, make some amazing memories.”

NICOLE MOORE

Stetson University Director of Athletics Jeff Altier announced the appoinitment of Nicole Moore as the head coach of the Hatters’ new women’s lacrosse pro-gram in December of 2011.

“I am really excited about bringing Nicole in to be our fi rst women’s lacrosse coach,” Altier said in 2011. “She comes very highly recommended from some of the best coaches in the country and she has an abundance of experience as an assistant coach. I believe she is ready to make this step. It is time for her to be a head coach.

“I am confi dent that Nicole is the right choice to help Stetson University get its women’s lacrosse program off and running, and lead us into the Atlantic Sun Conference,” Altier went on to say.

During the program’s fi rst season of existence, Moore led Stetson to many milestones, including the Hatters’ fi rst goal, tallied by freshman Melanie Fredericks in the opener against Liberty, and the team’s fi rst win, a 19-7 victory over Kennesaw State.

Stetson fi nished year one with an overall record of 2-14, but went 2-2 in A-Sun play, securing the third seed in the

fi rst ever A-Sun Women’s Lacrosse Tournament. The Hatters fell to second seeded Detroit in the league semifi nals to end the season.

Under Moore’s tutelage, fi ve freshmen earned A-Sun All-Freshman Team honors in 2013, including two - Mary Kate O’Sullivan and Danielle Horgan - who were named Second Team All-Conference.

Moore came to Stetson from the University of Vermont, where she spent two seasons as an assistant coach. Prior to her time with the Catamounts, Moore spent four seasons as an assistant coach at Temple University (2007-10). She worked primarily with the Owl defenders and helped guide Temple to the A-10 Championship and a berth in the NCAA Tournament in 2008.

“I would like to thank Jeff Altier and the rest of the Stet-son Athletics Administration for the opportunity to join the Stetson family and build the Stetson Lacrosse program,” Moore said in 2011. “I would also like to thank the UVM administration for their support, and the great mentorship and support from both Bonnie Rosen (Temple) and Sandy Bridgeman (New Hampshire).

NICOLE MOORENICOLE MOOREHEAD COACH

“Once I stepped onto the beautiful campus at Stetson and met the admin-istrators and coaches of the Stetson Athletic department, I knew there was something very special here,” Moore continued. “The prestigious academics, coupled with a very successful vision of Stetson Lacrosse, were both huge draws for me to the university. There is a true feeling of pride, camaraderie and support, on campus and in the department. I knew I would fi t in perfectly and would help to contribute to the success of Stetson, both in the classroom and on the fi eld.”

Prior to joining the Owl coaching staff, Moore served as an assistant coach at Canisius (2004-06). During her stint with the Lady Griffi ns she coached four All-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference players, including an MAAC Offensive Player of the Year in 2006 and a Defensive Player of the Year in 2005.

In 2005, Moore helped the Lady Griffi ns to the program’s fi rst winning season in history with a 9-6 record. In 2006, the squad fi nished second in the MAAC with a 12-7 record. While at Canisius, Moore also served as an assistant coach and player on the MAAC All-Stars team in the International Friendship Games, held in Tokyo, Japan.

Upon graduating from the University of New Hampshire in 2002 with a degree in English, Moore took a job as the director of lacrosse at the Caster-ton School, an independent boarding school in Lancashire, England. She also worked as a coaching offi cer in the English Lacrosse Association.

In addition to her duties at Casterton, she was in charge of running elite performance centers for the ELA. While in England, she was a member of the Heaton Mersey and North England women’s lacrosse teams.

A native of Wilton, Maine, Moore was a three-year member of the New Hampshire women’s lacrosse team, where she led her squad to a 2002 Amer-ica East Conference Regular Season Title. Moore, an IWLCA/US Lacrosse Regional Second Team All-American, was a member of the 2001 and 2002 America East All-Championship teams, as well as an America East All-Con-ference First Team selection in 2002. During her senior season, she was voted UNH’s Defensive MVP.

She has also joined her college coach, Sandy Bridgeman, to coach the Dutch National Team.

“What a great hire by Stetson,” Bridgeman said. “Nicole is the perfect person to build and lead a new program. As a player and coach, Nicole has always demonstrated a genuine enthusiasm for the game and playing and coaching with integrity. She is a fantastic teacher of the game, has a tremendous work ethic and brings an unequaled enthusiasm to her teams.”

Moore also played fi eld hockey for the Wildcats, earning a spot on the America East Championship team and helping her team advance to the NCAA Tournament in 1998.

Moore’s experience also includes working as a director of various lacrosse camps. For the past 10 years she has been involved with some of the top Elite summer camps, including at the University of North Carolina.

A speaker at the 2009 US Lacrosse Convention, Moore sits on multiple IWLCA committees. She is currently on the IWLCA Outreach Committee that works with Project IRM, which identifi es, recruits and mentors minority coaches in the sport of lacrosse.

Moore earned a master of science degree with a concentration in sport psychology and sport coaching from Canisius in May of 2006.

BRITTANY DIPPER

BRITTANY DIPPERDIPPERAssistant Coach

Second Season

Maryland, 2012

Brittany Dipper joined the Stetson University lacrosse program on August 27, 2012, as assistant coach.

Dipper came to Stetson on the heels of a highly successful playing career at the University of Maryland where, over four years in goal, she led the Terrapins to four consecutive Atlantic Coast Conference titles. In addition, she made eight saves in goal in Maryland’s 2010 national championship game victory over Northwestern. “Hiring Brittany Dipper was an easy decision to make,” Hatters head coach Nicole Moore said. “From our fi rst conversa-tion, and her time on campus, I knew she would be an important asset to the start of this program at Stetson, and to our student-athletes. Her passion, drive, confi dence and positivity will help her to become an effective and successful coach. I am excited for us to work together in building Stetson lacrosse.” Dipper’s playing career at Maryland, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Family Science, includes a pair of fi rst team All-America seasons and a national Goalie of the Year award. She was named to the All-ACC Tournament team all four years of her career while posting a career record in goal of 75-8. A native of Clarksboro, N.J., Dipper not only excelled in lacrosse. She was also a member of Maryland’s 2008 national champion fi eld hockey team. “I am so privileged to be a part of the Stetson family and so grateful for the opportunity Nicole and the athletic de-partment have given me,” Dipper said. “It is an honor to be able to help establish the Stetson women’s lacrosse pro-gram and bring a hardworking, dedicated tradition to Stetson lacrosse. I cannot wait to get started working with the program.” While Stetson marks Dipper’s fi rst foray into full-time coaching, she is no stranger to teaching the game of lacrosse. While still a player at Maryland she worked as a coach and counselor at a number of camps and clinics. She has been an annual instructor at the Maryland Elevate Lacrosse Open Camp and has worked at elite camps in Salt Lake City, Atlanta and at Duke University. “Brittany will be a fantastic addition at Stetson,” Maryland coach Cathy Reese said. “She is both a hard worker and a valiant competitor who achieved a great deal of success during her time at Maryland. We are excited to have yet another Terp embark into a career in coaching and wish her nothing but the best.” Dipper said she was attracted to Stetson by the dedication she saw, from both the athletic department and the universi-ty, to building a championship caliber program. “As soon as I walked on to the Stetson campus and met Nicole, the Athletic Administrators and other coaches, I knew this was a perfect fi t,” Dipper said. “The opportunity to work with the Stetson family and the talented student-athletes is very rewarding. “I was fortunate enough to be a part of a national championship team, and I know the amount of commitment and effort needed to get there. I plan on bringing that drive to Stetson lacrosse from the very beginning. My objective is to bring what I have learned throughout my playing career to the student-athletes of Stetson lacrosse so they can thrive, not only on the fi eld, but off the fi eld as well.”

Much of his previous coaching experiences are in foot-ball. He was a head coach in the Mid-Michigan Rural Football League for the Flushing Raiders for two seasons (2009-10). During that time he compiled a 12-0 record and was the youngest coach in league history to win a championship.

“Mitch demonstrates intelligence, maturity and leader-ship qualities beyond his years when interacting not only with the young players he works with, but also the par-ents as well as league offi cials,” Tim Wilson, president of the Mid-Michigan League, said.

“He has always been a capable and responsible person who has the ability to think quickly on his feet with reasonable and sensible actions when dealing with the wide range of personalities of this program.”

After arriving in DeLand in 2011, VanSumeren accepted a job with St. Barnabas Episcopal School as an assistant football coach. The Crusaders went 8-0 and went on to win the Athens Athletic Conference title.

In addition to his duties with the Stetson lacrosse pro-gram, VanSumeren also works in the Stetson equipment room and has worked with the Hatters football pro-gram.

ATHLETIC TRAINING CENTER

During the spring of 2011, Stetson President Dr. Wendy Libby announced that the University was bringing football back for the fi rst time since 1956. More than a year later, a groundbreaking ceremony for Stetson’s $6.7 million fi eld house and fi eld renovation was held. The 25,000 square foot building on the corner of Minnesota and Amelia avenues houses locker rooms for lacrosse, men’s and women’s soccer, as well as football. Additionally, state-of-the-art sports medicine and strength and conditioning areas are also available to student-ath-letes at the Stetson University Athletics Training Center. The facility also includes offi ce and meeting room space for each of the four programs, as well as an equipment room. The VIP room on the second fl oor of the facility will be utilized during lacrosse games. On one side of the fi eld house are practice fi elds for the football team, on the other side are game and practice fi elds for Stetson lacrosse, men’s soccer, and women’s soccer teams.

Before the spring 2013 lacrosse season was set to begin, a brand new score-board was put in place on the south end of the Hatters’ game fi eld, for fans to easily read the time and score of each home contest.

ATHLETIC FACILITIESDown the street from the Athletic Training Facility is the Man-dy Stoll Tennis Center, home of the Stetson men’s and wom-en’s tennis programs. Located on the east-side of the DeLand campus, the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center was completed in late 1996. The state-of-the-art facility is named in honor of Mandy Marie Stoll who was the tennis team’s top player when she was killed in an automobile accident in April 1988 during her junior year. During her three years as a member of the Stetson tennis team, she set school records of 20 consecutive wins and 27 wins in one season. The facility includes six courts, with plans for six additional courts in the future, a kiosk, three gazebos, courtside bleachers and a new scoreboard. Three of the six courts have been named: one for Mary Estella Palmer McNamara, the late wife of SU trustee Dennis McNamara of Orlando and a Stetson graduate; one in honor of former Stet-son tennis coach Vicky Pate, also a Stetson alumna; and one in memory of Mandy Stoll. The Mandy Stoll Tennis Center has served as the host location for four Atlantic Sun Conference Men’s and Women’s Tennis Championships.

The Stetson softball team has played 10 seasons at Patricia Wilson Field with tremendous success. The Hatters won their fi rst 18 games on their home fi eld in 2003 and have a com-bined home record of 278-124 (.692). The sparkling facility features spacious dugouts, multiple bullpen and batting cage areas, a state-of-the-art scoreboard, a brilliant lighting sys-tem for playing night games, and a concession area. A team fi eld house and a press box were built in 2007-08. In 2010 Stetson hosted the A-Sun Tournament for the fourth year in a row.

One of the most picturesque, fan-friendly stadiums in the nation, Melching Field at Conrad Park will enter its 15th season as the home of Stetson Baseball in 2013. At a cost of $4.5 million, Melching Field was the result of a joint effort

between Stetson University, DeLand Sports Redevelopment Association and the City of DeLand. Built on the same site as old Conrad Park, Melching Field opened on Feb. 12, 1999. Hatter fans have fl ocked to Melching Field in record numbers. With more than half a million fans since the stadium opened in 1999, Stetson is often ranked nationally among college baseball attendance leaders. Melching Field features permanent seating for 2,500 spectators with grass berms holding approximately 500 additional fans. A full-service concessions area greets visitors upon their entrance to the park on Woodland Boulevard. The 2012 season marked the debut of a new high-tech scoreboard, which is located in left fi eld and is equipped with a state-of-the-art message center and graphics board.

The numerous golf courses in Florida provide the men’s and women’s golf teams with ample places to play. The Hatters host tournaments every year at the DeLand Country Club, Southridge Golf Club, and Victoria Hills Golf Club. Also, the cross country teams host a meet every October at the Sperling Sports Complex, and the crew team practices and competes at nearby Lake Beresford.

Along with Director of Athletics Jeff Altier, Libby was integral in bringing football back to Stetson for the fi rst time since 1956. The Hatters will play their fi rst season in the fall of 2013. Coming with the return of football was the construction of a state-of-the-art fi eld house for not only football, but also men’s and women’s soccer and the brand new women’s lacrosse team. The $6.7 million, 25,000 square foot facility was completed in August of 2012.

Formerly president of Stephens College in Columbia, Mo., the nation’s second-oldest women’s institution, Libby has had a broad career in higher education and private industry. An expert in strategic planning, she plans to build on Stetson’s values-centered heritage and tradition of academic excellence and communityengaged service learning while movingStetson forward.

She has 28 years of administrative and teaching experience in higher education, at institutions including Westbrook College (now part of the University of New England), the University of Hartford, the University of Connecticut Health Center in Farmington, The Ohio State University and Cornell University.

A native of Brooklyn, N.Y., Libby earned her doctorate in Educational Administration from the University of Con-necticut. Her undergraduate degree, in Biology with a concentration in Genetics, is from Cornell University. She earned an MBA, with a concentration in Finance, from Cornell’s Johnson Graduate Schoolof Management.

Libby is a member of numerous higher education organizations. Last fall, she led a delegation of six college presidents in a visit to Ewha University in Seoul, South Korea. In honor of her outstanding leadership, Libby re-ceived the 2007 Athena Award from the Columbia (Mo.) Chamber of Commerce Women’s Network for her sup-port of women in realizing their full leadership potential and for contributing to the quality of life in the communi ty. In May, she receivedthe 2009 Outstanding Higher Education Professional Alumni Award at the University of Connecticut.

She and her husband, Dr. Richard M. Libby, have two sons, Glenn and wife Ginger, and Gregg and wife Lori, four grandchildren, a great-granddaughter, and three dogs. An avid reader, she enjoys cooking and entertain-ing.

Jeff Altier, a 28-year veteran of the Stetson University athletic department, is in his 17th year as Director of Athletics. During his tenure, Altier has earned a reputation as an outstanding fundraiser and a leader with an eye on the future, and is noted for his active participation in the NCAA governance structure. Altier, captain of the nationally-ranked 1982 Hatter baseball team, earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Stetson. Upon wrapping up his Stetson baseball career, he spent two years as a player/coach developing the sport in Perth, Australia. He then returned to Stetson as an assistant coach before being promoted to Ticket Manager, Director of Athletic Promotions, and then Associate Athletic Director. In these rolls, he spearheaded the department’s development efforts as well as oversaw athletic marketing and promotions, concessions and travel coordination. He was named Director of Athletics in 1996. Altier also served as Tournament Manager for the NCAA Division I Southeast First and Second Round Men’s basketball tournament hosted by Stetson in 1993 and 1996 at the Orlando Arena, and as Tournament Director for the 1999 and 2004 tournament. Stetson has taken great strides in the area of gender equity under Altier, increasing scholarships, participation opportunities and staffi ng for women’s athletics. The unprecedented success of the women’s tennis, golf, soccer, basketball and softball teams in conference competition during Altier’s tenure are evidence of his commitment to women’s athletics. In fact, under his direction Stetson’s women’s and men’s teams have won an impressive 15 conference championships. A hallmark of Altier’s professional career was the building of Stetson’s $4.5 million baseball facility, Melching Field at Conrad Park. Built in conjunction with the City of DeLand, Melching Field is regarded as one of the nation’s premiere college baseball facilities. Altier then turned his attention to construction of an on-campus softball facility, which broke ground in 2002 and was ready for competition in February of 2003. Patricia Wilson Field has been named Collegiate Softball Field of the Year six times. He was also instrumental in securing new state-of-the-art fi eld lighting for both the softball and soccer fi elds in 2005. Under his guidance, the Athletic Department has also seen the addition of the Wilson Athletic Center, a $ 1.5 million health and wellness facility for the use of Stetson student-athletes. Stetson athletics has continued to grow under Altier’s guidance. Three new sports have recently been added - sand volleyball started competition in the spring of 2012, while women’s lacrosse will start in the spring of 2013 and football will return in the fall of 2013. The program is also growing in terms of staffi ng and facilities, with construction complete on the $6.7 million, 25,000 square-foot Athletic Training Facility that houses offi ces, locker rooms, and sports medicine facilities for the football, women’s lacrosse, and men’s and women’s soccer programs. Altier’s leadership has extended beyond campus, as he has taken on Atlantic Sun Conference leadership roles, chairing many committees and serving as conference vice-president. Additionally, he has served on the National Association of College Directors of Athletics Division IAAA board of directors, the NCAA A.E.C. Cabinet and is currently a member of the prestigious NCAA Leadership Council. Locally he has served as president of the DeLand Rotary Club, vice-president of the DeLand Sports Redevelopment Association, and is a graduate of Leadership DeLand and Leadership Orlando. He is currently a member of the board of directors of the Central Florida Sports Commission. Altier was honored as the West Volusia Sportsperson of the Year for 2004. In 2011 Altier was recognized by his peers in the National Association of Collegiate Director of Athletics as the Under Armour Southeast Region Division I Athletic Director of the Year. Altier’s family includes wife, Sarah (Booker) (Stetson B.A. ‘82, M.Ed. ‘96), and children Heath (Stetson M.B.A. ‘09), Brianne, and Garrett.

For 35 years, the Atlantic Sun Conference has supported its member institutions in providing inter-collegiate athletics programs committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun meets it mission by maintaining the highest standards in academic and athletic achievement, creating a balance between student and athlete. Adding an emphasis on sportsmanship in the competitive arena and fostering leadership opportunities through community service, the A-Sun, its member institutions and its student-athletes aim for an overall educational experience that is successful in Building Winners for Life.

BUILDINGThe student-athletes of the A-Sun consistently achieve academic accolades on a national level...

As a whole, the Atlantic Sun set a new record with more than 65 percent of all student-athletes earning All-Academic status after achieving at least a 3.0 GPA last year. ETSU’s Adam Solazzo and FGSU’s Sarah Hansen swept the Division I-AAA Men’s and Women’s Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards, while the A-Sun also claimed the men’s post-graduate scholarship from the association. FGCU’s Courtney Chihil garnered A-Sun Female Student-Athlete of the year honors, graduating with a 3.86 GPA in nursing while leading the team in minutes and helping her team to the fi fth best winning percentage in the nation. Also recognized as a Capital One All-District and DI-AAA ADA selection, she was the A-Sun’s candidate for the NCAA’s Woman of the Year award. For the sec-ond consecutive year, The A-Sun is one of only three conferences in NCAA Division I women’s soccer to have all of its teams win the NSCAA Team Academic Award for posting a team GPA of 3.0 or better. The Atlantic Sun Conference set a new high with seven teams receiving The American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award for the 2011-12 season by their maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10 cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale. The A-Sun’s total ranks it in a tie for second among the 31 NCAA Division I conferences.

WINNERS... while performing at a high level in the competitive arena ...

The A-Sun placed three men’s basketball teams in postseason play for the second consecutive season, with Mercer claiming the 2012 CIT Championship and giving the A-Sun its fi rst postseason championship in league history. The Jacksonville women’s track and fi eld team won a conference record seventh consecutive indoor and outdoor track and fi eld titles. In its fi rst year of eligibility for all sports, FGCU won a combined eight regular season and tournament titles, the most in the conference. Softball continues its pursuit to become a multi-bid sport as the league posted the 11th best RPI in the NCAA, its fi fth straight season being ranked in the top-12 and boasted six top-100 teams including conference champion Florida Gulf Coast (74). Men’s Golf continues to grow into one of the conference’s strongest national sports. North Florida earned a No. 2 seed at its regional while Kennesaw State earned at at-large beth to the championship. Representatives of six schools participated in NCAA Regional play in 2012, doubling last year’s numbers. Additionally, North Florida’s appearance in the NCAA Championship Round ups the A-Sun’s total to at least one team in the championship in eight of the last nine years. The A-Sun added sand volleyball and became the fi rst conference in NCAA history to host a conference championship in the emerging sport. Additionally, pairs from North Florida and Stetson advanced to compete in the AVCA Collegiate Sand Volleyball National Championship.

FOR LIFE!...and preparing themselves to become valuable members of their community .

The NCAA annual Federal Graduation Rate and Graduation Success Rate (GSR) report shows the A-Sun living its mission of Building Winners for Life as 12 A-Sun postseason teams equaled or bettered the national average. Resulting from a number of initiatives through-out 2011-12, the A-Sun SAAC raised more than $22,200 to benefi t organizations such as the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Cancer Society, Boys and Girls Club, and many more. In eight years of fundraising, the SAAC has accumulated more than $125,000 for local programs. Six Atlantic Sun Conference member institutions were named to the 2012 President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, two with distinction. That number also places the A-Sun among the top half of Division I conferences, as only 12 of 31 conferences had six or more schools recognized. The A-Sun has successfully placed 17 individuals on NCAA committees. The conference is the only one in the nation to post Facul-ty Athletics Representatives on both the Leadership and Legislative Councils. Since opening in 1997, Florida Gulf Coast University has amassed more than 1 million service-learning hours and earned national recognition for its program. In the latest periodic rankings by national publications, six Atlantic Sun member institutions have been named as one of the top colleges and universities across the country in the annual “America’s Best Colleges” 2012 list, created by Forbes Magazine. Stetson tops the list of the half-dozen A-Sun insti-tutions that rank in the top 15 to 23 percent of all colleges and universities granting four-year degrees. The list also includes North Florida, Mercer University, Northern Kentucky University, East Tennessee State University and Kennesaw State University.

Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun footprint reaches into seven six of the top media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun includes a blend of the most prestigious and dynamic private and public institutions in the region: East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mer-cer University, University of North Florida, Northern Kentucky University, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.
