ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE MEDIA STRENGTH & CONDITIONING The main Arkansas State University strength and conditioning area features 70 work stations, flooring, flexibility area, power area, speed area, cardiovascular area, training equipment, Olympic weightlifting platforms, air and heating system and training security measures. The Convocation Center also includes the state-of-the-art Strength and Conditioning Room used by the A-State men’s basketball team, which was remodeled prior to the 2008-09 season. The upgrades included all new weights, new floor covering, wall covering, lighting and entrance doors. The project was completed at a cost of approximately $150,000 with a large portion of the funding coming from a generous contribution from the Clopton Clinic of Jonesboro. ATHLETIC TRAINING The A-State Sports Medicine Department operates five athletic training rooms on campus. The Convocation Center is the home for all men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, and indoor track competitions and practices. Located in the Convocation Center is a 2,000-square foot athletic training room which is fully equipped to provide all the necessary pre and post-practice treatment. The Tim and Terri Langford Sports Medicine area has undergone recent changes and construction such as new tables, flooring, ceiling, paint and offices. 114 ARKANSAS STATE MEN’S BASKETBALL MEDIA GUIDE >> 2016-17
ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE The Arkansas State University men’s basketball program’s commitment to academics is a significant one. All of the necessary tools and resources for A-State student-athletes to achieve academic success is provided. This includes academic tutoring and mentoring, learning skills assessments and strategies, course management assistance, degree program advisement and career development. The Arkansas State University Athletics Department announced the fourth largest single donation in its history, a $400,000 gift from Charles Luter that was used to enhance the athletics’ academic facility, at a press conference held at the newly named Charles Luter Family Academic Success Center in September of 2008. The Academic Success Center serves as a foundation for structure, discipline and organization for the education of all A-State student-athletes. The facility, coupled with innovative programs and equipment, currently houses the academic support staff, tutors, computer labs, a resource room, study areas, tutorial rooms, small group study centers, a large conference room, the compliance office and spring sports coaching offices. Among the most recent and noticeable modifications to the Charles Luter Family Academic Success Center is a new foyer housed in a brick and rock exterior that, along with new landscaping, gives the entrance to the building a modern look and creates a stronger image. The actual foyer has a large Red Wolves logo embedded in a terrazzo flooring that greets visitors as they enter the building. A receptionist office now also connects to the lobby area, which holds allnew furniture and a plaque recognizing Charles and his wife Kay. A restructuring of the academic resource center, now known as Dawson’s Den, has occurred, including a wallwrap celebrating academic success that is clearly visible for student-athletes working in the computer lab. Additionally, tutorial rooms and computer-work stations have been upgraded in this area, which also displays pictures of the most recent A-State graduates. The names of the latest members of the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll are also showcased in Dawson’s Den. The area is named after Scott and Kay Dawson, longtime supporters of Red Wolves’ athletics. Red Wolf Leadership Academy It is well-known that collegiate athletics departments across the country place a common emphasis on graduation, but Arkansas State has taken it a step further by already fulfilling a bold promise of 100 percent job placement for all its graduating student-athletes. A-State has met its job-placement goal through its newly-developed Red Wolves Leadership Academy, which continues to strengthen with a new study abroad component added to foster global awareness which is often cited by employers as a positive attribute they seek. In the summer of 2015, Arkansas State student-athletes took part in the first study abroad program offered by any university and their athletics department in the nation. The program goes hand-in-hand with the Red Wolves Leadership Academy, designed with the sole purpose to obtain 100 percent job placement for ALL student-athletes upon graduation. The Red Wolves took a ground-breaking step by sending the group of student-athletes to London on a faculty-led academic program. For A-State Director of Athletics Terry Mohajir, this is just one of the many ways it all comes back to providing the Red Wolves with the most comprehensive experiences possible to be successful in life. According to a recent CNN article (2014), titled “Studying abroad could give you an edge in the job market,” only one percent of U.S. college students manage to study abroad. The author can now count these and future Red Wolves among that one percent. Research conducted by UC Merced backs up what Mohajir and the A-State Athletics Department believes — adding the study abroad component to the Red Wolves Leadership Academy puts its student-athletes among the most desirable employees in the nation coming out of college and helps create global citizens. The UC Merced research also showed that 97 percent of study abroad students found employment within 12 months of graduation, while only 49 percent of college graduates found employment in the same period. Additionally, statistics revealed study abroad students had a 25 percent higher starting salary than those college graduates who did not study abroad. Graduate school also falls under the all-encompassing umbrella provided by the Red Wolves Leadership Academy and is included in its goal of 100 percent job placement since it has a significant impact on future employment. According to IES Abroad research (“Recent Graduates Survey: The Impact of Studying Abroad on Recent College Graduates’ Careers”, 2012), 90 percent of alumni who were accepted into one of their top two choices for graduate or professional school studied abroad. Like Mohajir, Director of the Office of Study Abroad at A-State, and Dr. Osa Amienyi, Chair of the Department of Media at Arkansas State University, were part of the study abroad vision and instrumental in bringing it to fruition.
