Dr. Roger G. Brown, a proven academic leader and native Tennessean, is the fifteenth head of The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. His appointment as Chancellor was celebrated by the campus in February of 2006.

Under Brown’s leadership, the campus has experienced record enrollment growth at all levels, reaching the significant milestone of surpassing more than 11,000 students in fall 2011. Since taking the helm of the Chattanooga campus, he has promoted UTC’s mission as a metropolitan university with special emphasis in the fields of science, mathematics and tech-nology. Brown has also pledged the campus’ commitment to teacher preparation, healthcare professions, business and commerce and cultural appreciation.

UTC recently completed a strategic planning initiative that focuses campus efforts on the power of partnerships, especially relationships within the learning laboratory of Chattanooga. In 2008, Chattanooga earned the Commu-nity Engagement designation by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in recognition of its many successful partnerships in the community.

Brown came to Chattanooga from the Uni-versity of North Carolina at Pembroke, where he served as Provost and Vice Chancellor for

MOCs radiO netWOrK Fans and football enthusiasts can listen to the crystal-clear au-dio broadcast of each Chattanooga Mocs football game on the Home of the Mocs, ESPN Radio 105.1 WALV FM. All games will also broadcast online at www.GoMocs.com. All broadcasts begin one hour prior to kickoff and are followed by a comprehensive postgame show which features a game recap, sta-tistics and interviews with head coach Russ Huesman and Mocs players. The radio broadcast team of Jim Reynolds and Todd Agne, together for their 16th season of Mocs’ Foot-ball, will bring fans all 11 regular-season games. Reynolds is the Dean of Southern Conference broadcasters. His exper-tise is play-by-play announcing, and he returns for his 33rd season behind the microphone at Chattanooga football games. The Chicago native is one of the hosts of the city’s popular radio talk show, “The Morning Press,” on WGOW 102.3 FM. After receiving his bachelor’s degree in Speech Communications in 1977 from Illinois State, he began his career at WAKC-AM Radio in Bloomington, Ill., where he served as the play-by-play announcer for the Illinois Wesleyan football and basketball teams. He also worked at Bloomington station WRBA where he did some play-by-play for Illinois State football and basketball. Reynolds also spent time as the play-by-play announcer for the Univer-sity of Illinois basketball team while working with BRO-MAR Sports Net-work in Chicago. Currently, he is also the play-by-play voice for Mocs basketball games. Agne joins Reynolds to add color analysis, features and commentary, and a national scoreboard update to the broadcast. Agne, who attended Marshall University, has spent parts of the past 25 years covering Southern Conference athletics for radio, print and television in four different media markets. He enters his 16th season with the football broadcast team. Will Poindexter, the current color analyst for the Chattanooga Lookouts, returns to the team for his sixth sea-son as the sideline reporter.
