Paul DeeDirector ofAthleticsPaul Dee has served as Director

of Athletics since June of 1993.Prior to his appointment, Dee hadserved the University as its VicePresident and General Counselbeginning in 1981.

During his tenure as Directorof Athletics, Dee has focused the

efforts of the Athletic Department on four major points ofemphasis: 1) the success of its programs; 2) the developmentof its student-athletes, both athletically and academically; 3)the quality of life of its staff; 4) improvement of facilities.The department has achieved success in each of these areas.

Program SuccessThe University of Miami has won three team national

championships (Baseball in 1999 and 2001; Football in2001) during Dee s tenure as Director of Athletics.

Miami has been a dominant program in the BIG EASTConference winning 25 team championships since 1993including: seven BIG EAST Football titles, seven BIGEAST Men s Tennis titles, five BIG EAST W omen s Tennistitles, four BIG EAST W omen s Outdoor Track & Fieldtitles, one BIG EAST Men s Swimming & Diving champi-onship, and one BIG EAST men s basketball title.

fieldand Human Services (HHS) and served for eight years,becoming the nation s longest-serving HHS Secretary. Shewas an active member of the W ashington, D.C., community,participating in events to benefit the arts including serving asa member of the Kennedy Center Board of Trustees.

In 1999 she spearheaded the United W ay campaign forfederal employees that raised a record $44 million for localand national charities. Last year she led the official U.S. del-egation to the 2000 Olympics in Sydney, Australia. At theend of her tenure as HHS Secretary, The Washington Postdescribed her as one of the most successful governmentmanagers of modern times.

As president of the University of Miami, PresidentShalala presides over one of the most successful college ath-

letic programs in the country. The Hurricanes football pro-gram consistently ranks in the top of the polls. In 2001 thebaseball team won its fourth College W orld Series. And, in2003 the men and women s basketball team will play in anew, on-campus facility, the Convocation Center. OtherHurricane sports from golf to tennis have also earnednational recognition.

The University of Miami has no better friends than Sueand Chuck Cobb, said University President Edward T.Foote II. From anyone, such a splendid commitment wouldbe extremely welcome. From the Cobbs, it takes on a specialsignificance. On behalf of the entire University community,and especially our students, I express heartfelt appreciation.

I am very pleased that our family is able to recognizeChuck s many years of service to the University of Miami inthis manner, Mrs. Cobb said. We have long felt that theUniversity, by its natural location, is perfectly situated to be agreat venue for these two sports. W e hope this facility will bea catalyst for new traditions of excellence, commensuratewith other University of Miami programs, and that it willalso encourage increased participation in soccer, track andfield by youngsters in our community.

In addition to providing a first class facility for theHurricane soccer and track and field programs, the stadium isavailable to host soccer and track and field events for schooland youth groups. Miami-Dade County has been invited tohold future County Junior High School Soccer and Track andField Championships at Cobb Stadium.

A s head coach Mike W ard builds the University of Miamimen s track program to one of the BIG EAST s elite, the

dedication of the Cobb Stadium for Soccer, Track and Fieldon March 31, 1999 marked a major step in that process.

Located adjacent to the Hecht Athletic Center and pro-viding seating for 500 people, the facility is named afterAmbassador and Mrs. Charles E. Cobb. The Cobb familydonated the leadership gift for the reconstruction and expan-sion of the University track and the construction of the newsoccer field.

The building of a facility like Cobb Stadium is some-thing the University, the track and field program and theentire South Florida community can be proud of, said W ard.Due to the generosity and continued support fromAmbassador and Mrs. Cobb and the Cobb Family, theUniversity of Miami will continue to compete with thenation s elite track and field programs.

Ambassador Cobb was captain of the StanfordUniversity track team and a member of the 1960 UnitedStates Olympic team as a high hurdler. He has been a mem-ber of the University of Miami Board of Trustees and itsExecutive Committee for over 20 years and is the formerChairman of the Board of Trustees.
