SALLY MASON/GARY BARTA
Sally Mason became the 20th President of The University of Iowa on August 1, 2007. She holds a full professorship with tenure in the Department of Biological Sciences of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
President Mason served as Provost of Purdue University from 2001-2007, where she was responsible for planning, managing, and reviewing all academic programs at Purdue's West Lafayette and four affiliated branch campuses throughout Indiana. Her accomplishments as Provost included increasing diversity, recruiting top faculty, doubling the research program, advancing public engagement, and improving the learning environment for students. During President Mason's tenure as Provost, Purdue hired over 800 new faculty, 300 of which were new positions; 56% of those hires were women and/or minorities. She also formed a diversity leadership group while at Purdue. President Mason was instrumental in the development of Purdue's Discovery Park, an interdisciplinary research incubator focused on such topics as nanotechnology, entrepreneurship, and biosciences. The daughter of an immigrant family and the first child to attend college, President Mason received her B.S. in zoology from The University of Kentucky in 1972, her M.S. from Purdue University in 1974, and her Ph.D. in cellular, molecular, and developmental biology from The University of Arizona in 1978. She subsequently spent two years at Indiana University in Bloomington doing postdoctoral research before joining The University of Kansas in 1981. A strong advocate of undergraduate education, she received awards for outstanding undergraduate advising and teaching, and she was awarded a prestigious Kemper Teaching Fellowship. During her 21 years at Kansas, President Mason served as a full professor in the Department of Molecular Biosciences, Acting Chair of the Department of Physiology and Cell Biology, and Associate Dean in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. In 1995, she was appointed Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the largest academic unit on the University of Kansas campus. President Mason is the author of many scientific papers and has obtained a number of research grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the Wesley Research Foundation, and the Lilly Endowment. Her research interests have focused on the developmental biology, genetics, and biochemistry of pigment cells and pigments in the skin of vertebrates. She has served as President of both the PanAmerican Society for Pigment Cell Research and the Council of Colleges of Arts and Sciences, and has served as Chair of the Advisory Committee to the National Science Foundation Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) and the Executive Committee of the National Association of State Universities and Land-Grant Colleges (NASULGC) Chief Academic Officers Group. She also served on the Executive Committee of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) from 2003-2007 and was appointed to the National Medal of Science Selection Committee from 2006-2008. President Mason is married to Ken Mason, an educator and textbook author who teaches biological sciences at The University of Iowa.
Gary Barta is in his second year as the Athletic Director at The University of Iowa. He became the University's 11th Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on August 1, 2006. He succeeded Robert Bowlsby, who left after 15 years at Iowa to take over the program at Stanford.
A native Midwesterner, Barta signed a five-year contract to lead one of the most successful athletic programs in the nation.
Barta has already put his stamp on Hawkeye Athletics during his first year in Iowa City. He oversaw the final stages of the $89 million renovation at Kinnick Stadium and the new Paul W. Brechler Press Box. He officially opened Iowa's new Hawkeye Tennis and Recreation Center. In the spring of 2007, he hired new Head Men's Basketball Coach Todd Lickliter from Butler University. Lickliter's hiring came on the heels of his team's "Sweet 16" appearance and his being named the NABC Division I Coach of the Year. Basketball experts from around the country are touting this as an outstanding hire. Several other initiatives were set in motion during Barta's first year. An Athletic Department Strategic Plan has been launched mapping out the vision and goals for the future. Plans are underway to build a new $6.1 million boathouse for the rowing program. Construction begins this fall on a new Campus Wellness and Recreation Center which includes a first-class aquatic center. It will serve as the new home to the Hawkeye men and women's swimming teams. Carver-Hawkeye Arena is in the early planning stage of a $30-$40 million renovation that will add a practice facility, improve the fan experience, and renovate and add office space. In addition to facilities, the Strategic Plan lays out goals for academic achievement, championship success, fiscal growth, and overall student-athlete, coach, and staff performance. Barta has over 20 years of university and athletic administration experience. Before taking over at Iowa he had been the Wyoming Athletic Director since October of 2003. From November 1996 to October 2003, he was Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Relations and Sports Programs at the University of Washington in Seattle. From 1990 to 1996, he was associated with the University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, where he was the Director of Athletic Development and External Relations. He also served as Associate Director of Development at North Dakota State University in Fargo, from 1988-90, where he was involved in fundraising for athletics, the colleges of business and engineering, and the University's annual fund. Wyoming received the NCAA Division IA Program of Excellence Award in 2006 during Barta's tenure there, which honors athletic programs that are superior athletically, academically, and in student-athlete life skills preparation. The Barta led program at Wyoming was credited with a number of significant accomplishments. The Cowboys played in the 2004 Las Vegas Bowl and posted a victory over UCLA. The women's basketball team won 21 games during the 200506 season, a top 20 placing by the women's track team at the NCAA meet in 2005, and a top 25 finish in men's NCAA swimming in 2004. Barta has been a successful fundraiser throughout his career, having helped secure more than $150 million in private contributions and corporate sponsorships over the past 10 years. In less than two years, he helped Wyoming raise more than $22 million, including $11 million in private contributions and $11 million in matching state funds. He was directly involved in major fundraising programs at Washington, including a $100 million plan for facility renovations. Prior to taking over at Wyoming, he served as Washington's Senior Associate Athletic Director for External Relations and Sports Programs. He was responsible for generating revenue to fund Washington's $40 million annual intercollegiate athletics budget. While at Washington, Barta was directly involved in a variety of duties including: hiring of coaches and administrative staff, coordinating the schedule for men's basketball, initiating and managing sponsor relationships, and negotiating radio network contracts. Barta earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Mass Communication and Broadcast Journalism from North Dakota State University in 1987. He was an option quarterback for Bison football squads that won the Division II NCAA National Championship in 1983, 1985, and 1986. He returned to NDSU to begin his career in 1988 as an Associate Director of Development and later became the Director of Development. He served as Director of Athletic Development and External Relations at the University of Northern Iowa (1990-96). There he managed all fund raising, marketing and promotions, and media relations activities for the school's 17sport program. Barta, and his wife, Connie, have a son, Luke (9) and a daughter, Madison (7). He was born September 4, 1963, in Minneapolis, MN.

KIRK FERENTZ
Kirk Ferentz
Head Football Coach Ninth Year at Iowa
Kirk Ferentz is in his ninth year as head football coach at the University of Iowa. He's taken the Hawkeyes to six straight bowl games, including a string of four straight January games from 2002-05. The six straight bowl appearances is the second longest streak in school history. Hayden Fry took the Hawkeyes to eight straight (1981-88) bowl games.
Iowa concluded the 2006 season with an appearance in the Alamo Bowl, dropping a 26-24 decision to defending national champion Texas. Iowa climbed as high as 12th in the 2006 polls while winning five of its first six games. Injuries and inopportune mistakes played a role as the Hawkeyes struggled for consistency during the second half of the season. Still, a 24-21 loss to 15th-ranked Wisconsin and the two-point loss to 16thranked Texas in the Alamo Bowl provide reasons for optimism in 2007.
Prior to last season the Hawkeyes, under Ferentz, had put together the greatest run in school history. Iowa had a 7-5 record in 2005 and a 10-2 mark in 2004. Add that to 10-3 in 2003 and 11-2 in 2002 and you have the best four-year run in Iowa history (38-12). And, Iowa's 25 Big Ten wins were the most ever by a Hawkeye team in a four year span. No other Big Ten team won more league games in that four-year span.
The two-time Big Ten Coach of the Year led the Hawkeyes to a third place Big Ten finish in 2005. An overtime loss to Michigan and a last-minute, one point loss at Northwestern is all that kept the Hawkeyes out of contention for a third Big Ten title in four years. Following the 2005 season Iowa was one of four teams (Southern Cal, Georgia, Florida State) in the nation to play in four consecutive January bowl games.
Iowa won a Kinnick Stadium record 22 straight home games before an overtime loss to Michigan in 2005. The home streak was the fourth longest in the nation. Iowa has won 30 of its last 33 games in Kinnick. The Hawkeyes sold out their entire home schedule the past three years and have strung together 24 straight home sellouts. The 70,585 average for six home games in 2005 and seven games in 2006 is an Iowa record for average home attendance.
Ferentz led the 2004 Hawkeyes to their second Big Ten title in three years and won the league's Coach of the Year honors for the second time. Iowa's 10-2 (7-1 in the Big Ten) record was expected by very few. After opening conference play with a loss at Michigan, Iowa won its final seven regular season games to earn the title share.
The Hawkeyes capped the season with their eighth straight victory, earning a 30-25 win over defending national champion LSU. Iowa scored on a 56-yard pass play on the final play of the Capital One Bowl in probably the most exciting, and dramatic, win in Iowa history. Seven of Iowa's 12 opponents were ranked at some point during the season as Iowa earned a third straight appearance in a January bowl game.
In addition to Ferentz being named Big Ten Coach of the Year in 2004, the Hawkeyes finished eighth in the final polls and five Hawkeyes were named first team all-Big Ten.
Lightly regarded by the so-called "experts" heading into the 2003 season, the Hawkeyes fooled prognosticators by rising into the nation's top 10 four times during the year, getting as high as eighth in the seasonending poll. Iowa put the topping on the 2003 season by beating a favored Florida team (37-17) in the Outback Bowl, in Tampa, FL, on New Year's Day.
The 2003 Hawkeyes were the only Big Ten team to beat league champion Michigan (30-27). And, five Iowa players were named to the 2003 first all-Big Ten team and two were named first team all-America. Hawkeye offensive lineman Robert Gallery was named winner of the 2003 Outland Trophy, which goes to the nation's top collegiate interior lineman.
The 2002 team was probably the most decorated in Iowa football history.
Kirk was named 2002 Associated Press and The Walter Camp Football Foundation's Coach of the Year in college football. He was also named Big Ten Coach of the Year in a season that saw his team climb as high as third in the national rankings.
Ferentz led the 2002 Iowa football team to its first Big Ten title since 1990 and the most wins (11) in school history. The Hawkeyes also played in the BCS's FedEx Orange Bowl for the first time.
The only losses during the 2002 season came at the hands of Iowa State and Southern Cal. Iowa posted impressive road wins at Penn State and Michigan on its way to the school's first undefeated Big Ten campaign since 1922. The win over Michigan was the most convincing by a Wolverine opponent, in Ann Arbor, since 1967.
The Hawkeyes finished eighth nationally in the final rankings in 2002, 2003 and 2004, joining Southern Cal, Oklahoma and Georgia as the only teams to rank in the top 10 all three seasons. The Hawkeyes were the highest rated Big Ten Conference team at the end of the 2005 bowl season. On a national scale, Iowa's record over that three year span ranked eighth best in the nation.
The Orange Bowl appearance at the conclusion of the 2002 season followed a successful 2001 season that saw Iowa win three of its final four games. Iowa earned an invitation to the Sylvania Alamo Bowl in San Antonio, TX, where the Hawkeyes defeated Texas Tech 19-16.
The foundation of Kirk's program at Iowa was established in his first two seasons and began to pay dividends late in the 2000 season when the Hawkeyes won in double overtime at Penn State. Iowa returned home the following week to post a 27-17 win over Big Ten co-champion Northwestern, ranked 12th in the nation at the time. That late-season success carried over into the winning campaign of 2001.
At Iowa, Ferentz has an overall record of 55-43, including a 51-24 mark over the last six seasons. He has posted a 34-30 record in Big Ten play. He has a career record of 67-63 in 11 years as a collegiate head coach. His Iowa contract carries through the 2012 season. Ferentz is one of just seven Big Ten coaches ever to guide a team to 10 wins or more in three straight seasons.
And while Ferentz has guided the Iowa program to great success on the field, the Hawkeyes have also made their mark in the classroom. In 2005, Iowa tied Southern Cal and Virginia Tech with the best football studentathlete graduation rate (58%) among all Division I teams earning a bowl invitation. Among the teams which participated in bowl games following the 2002, 2003 and 2004 seasons, only Iowa and Southern Cal ranked in the top five in graduation rates in each of the three seasons. Among the 64 schools who participated in bowl games following the 2006 season, Iowa's graduation rate (72%) ranked ninth best.
Along with Ferentz earning conference and national Coach of the Year recognition, members of his staff have also been well recognized. Norm Parker, Iowa's defensive coordinator, was a finalist for the 2004 and 2005 Frank Broyles Award, which recognizes the top Division I assistant coach in the nation. Lester Erb, Iowa's receivers and special teams coach, was named by as one of the top 25 recruiters in 2005. Ron Aiken,
