Wiseman, a native of Rogers, Ark., was the assistant women’s coach at NCAA Division II Arkansas Tech University from 2005-2007 where he helped with all aspects of the Golden Suns Tennis program. Wiseman made an immediate impact last season, nearly leading the women’s program to the playoffs. Wiseman had one player earn ESPN The

Magazine Academic All-America honors in 2009. A combined six players were on the American Southwest Conference All-Academic Team, and two of his women’s players earned All-Conference honors. Wiseman helped with the development of the junior tennis program in the River Valley community. He is a member of the Unit-ed States Professional Tennis Registry. He graduated from Arkansas Tech University in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in vocal music. Wiseman and his wife, Alicia, were married in 2008.

Wiseman Optimistic About 2010 Team Tennis at the University of the Ozarks is on the upward swing under head coach Shaun Wiseman. The men’s and women’s tennis program saw measurable growth un-der the helm of first-year head coach Shaun Wiseman in 2009. Wiseman sparked a quick turn-around for both programs. Most notably, Wise-man’s impact was seen in the women’s team as they made the largest stride finishing 2-9 overall and 2-3 in the conference, good enough for third-place with UT-Dallas and LeTourneau University. The Lady Eagles just missed a playoff berth by way of tiebreakers. The men finished 3-8 overall and 1-4 in conference play. In his second year, Wiseman is confi-dent that the upward trend of both programs will continue. “Both teams will remain competitive in the American Southwest Conference this season,” said Wiseman. “The women have a strong chance at finishing as high as second and qualifying for the playoffs. The men have a bigger talent gap to fill in relation to the other teams in the conference, but they will compete and be improved from last year’s results.” Wiseman will turn to a pair of veterans to anchor his men’s and women’s teams. Briar Vona is the top returner for the women. As a junior, Vona has been tabbed one of the team captains and is coming off of an ASC All-Conference Honorable Mention season a year ago. “Briar is the perfect D-III player,” says Wiseman. “She is the kind of player who has a very high tennis IQ and she will make you beat her, she doesn’t beat herself.” For the men, a new No. 1 will take the court in 2010. Senior Brandon Carlson gets the nod in his fourth year on the team. “Brandon did all the things he needed to do over the summer to jump into the No. 1 spot for the men,” said Wiseman. “He worked hard to fix his serve, and now he is a legitimate No. 1.”

As both teams continue to rebuild, a handful of young talent will be asked to gain collegiate experience as they go. The women’s team will feature a trio of impact freshmen. “Emily Drake will win a lot of matches in her four years on campus,” predicts Wiseman. “Her game reminds me a lot of former standout Lea Rana.” In terms of raw talent, Wiseman is excited about the potential of Tara Richards. “She is the kind of player that has no ceiling for her game,” said Wise-man. “With tons of raw talent, she has a world of potential.” Chelsea Glasscock highlights the incoming players for the women, and is a player that Wiseman believes will be “special” at Ozarks. “Chelsea is a special talent, she is relatively new to the sport of tennis, but she hits a consistent ball and will do very well in conference play.” On the men’s side of the court, first-year players Henry Stoltz and Jack Barry will have an immediate impact for Wiseman. “Henry has great game already as a freshman, but still has room to improve,” says Wiseman. “Jack’s tennis game can only be described as beautiful. His play is just so effortless.” A couple of players that Wiseman sees coming out from beyond the radar will be Jennifer Fretwell for the women, and Matthew Ede for the men. “I believe that a lot of our women’s matches will hinge on the success of Jennifer, she will be the ‘X-factor’ for the women all season,” said Wiseman. “Matthew is a freshman transfer that has great strokes and will have to mature as a tennis player and learn to control his game. He could rise up and make an impact this season.” Both teams open up the 2010 spring season on the road in Conway, Ark. to take on Hendrix College February 13th.

University of the Ozarks

For 175 years, University of the Ozarks has approached education with an unyielding search for truth.

That search led our founders to establish the first co-educational college west of the Mis-sissippi. It set the stage for the first Arkansas woman to receive a college degree. And because truth often defies convention, ours was the first historically white college in the state to admit African-Americans.

Every day, our history inspires Ozarks students to discover their own individual truths. But we won’t expect you to find the answers alone. Through every step of your search, we’ll stand by you as true scholars, mentors, and friends.

Founded in 1834 as Cane Hill School, Uni-versity of the Ozarks is a private, four-year comprehensive university affiliated with the Presbyterian Church. Located on 30 acres in Clarksville, Arkansas (pop. 7,500), Ozarks is home to about 675 students from 22 states and 20 countries.

More than 80 percent of our faculty hold the highest degrees in their fields. Because we’re small by design, our average class size is 14 and the student/ faculty ratio is 13:1.

More than 60 majors, minors, and preprofes- sional degrees, from Composite Science to Strategic Communications are offered. Many Ozarks graduates also go on to top graduate programs in law, medicine, and engineering.

The central mall of campus is flanked by historic Munger Chapel and Walker Hall, a $7 million facility that houses a television studio, radio station, and state-of-the art editing suites. The 38,000-square-foot Robson Library houses more than 175,000 items for reading and research.

Seventy-five percent of students live on campus in one of six residence halls that feature such perks as recreation rooms and in-room computer connections.

At roughly half the national average for a private, liberal arts education, University of the Ozarks’ tuition offers exceptional value. About 95 percent of students receive some type of financial aid, including scholarships, grants, loans, and work study. Over $7.7 mil-lion in financial aid is distributed annually. You may have heard that a liberal arts edu-cation is all about mental agility, intellec-tual prowess, service to others, and critical thinking. We couldn’t agree more. But at Ozarks, we’re also steeped in the tradition of preparedness – for your career, for graduate school, for life. A key part of being prepared is knowing when to ask for help. Ozarks’ Student Support Services (SSS) provides free tutoring, a 24-hour computer lab, resume as-sistance, career and grad school strategies, and more than a dozen other services to help students achieve their very best. Intern-ships are an essential part of the college ex-perience, allowing you to practice newfound skills “in the field” and try a career (or two) on for size. Ozarks interns are doing research in polymer chemistry, working with the for-est service, and volunteering for national political campaigns. Just how much can one student get involved? One Ozarks student landed internships at both the Brookings Insti-tution in Washington, D.C. and the FOX News Network in Manhattan and created films for Little Rock’s “48 Hour Film Festival” as well as the Cinequest Film Festival.

Once Ozarks graduates get out into the world, there’s no stopping them. Our alumni pursue a truly incredible array of careers, from writing for ad agencies and practicing clinical psychology to working for the Secret Service. And if you’re interested in further-ing your education, expect to be in good company. More than 85 percent of Ozarks students who apply are accepted to top graduate, medical, and law schools.

If you’re not accustomed to personal inter-action with your instructors, you’ll get used to it soon enough. Both in and out of class, Ozarks faculty demand accountability

(don’t be surprised if you get a phone call from your professor when you miss class). That sort of “personal attention” is just one example of our genuine concern for each individual student’s progress. Our faculty is known for inspiring remarkable acts. With their help, students are studying abroad in Strasburg, Florence, and Hong Kong. They’re learning about new forms of international currency trading from experts in the field, and using their Latin skills to enhance research papers on medieval drama. If this sounds more like master’s work than undergradu-ate, it’s no accident. Because University of the Ozarks is small by design, professors have the time to delve deeply into every student’s interests – and help make the most of their talents. In the political science program, Dr. Gil Parks’ students are researching national human rights legislation at American Univer-sity in D.C. and taking on internships with the National Republican Senatorial Committee. They’re also attending law schools nation-wide, including Notre Dame, Pepperdine, and Georgetown. Similarly, Dr. Sean Coleman encourages his pre-med students to take full advantage of the liberal arts, with foreign lan-guage minors, and immersion trips to coun-tries like Mexico and Italy. With over 40 clubs and organizations to choose from, it isn’t hard to find one you’re truly passionate about. For some, it’s a club with academic affiliations like Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) – a global, non-profit orga-nization that helps members develop leader-ship, teamwork, and communication skills by championing free enterprise and community service. Others pursue more personal passions by joining Amnesty International, College Re-publicans, or Young Democrats. And if you’re simply looking to have fun, you won’t be dis-appointed. In the student center, ping-pong matches have been known to go on for hours, and you never know when a soccer game might break out in the quad. Movie nights often hit the big screens in the residence halls, where camaraderie and community come together. Part of the campus charm is its family-like atmosphere.
