After studying the needs of the region and the campus, Representative Mullins believed that a multi-purpose sports and convocation center was essential to the University’s growth. He enlisted the support of campus officials and legislative leaders and began building the momentum to fund the construction of this type of facility. Representative Mullins Died in 1986. Several of his colleagues in the legislature, as well as other supporters, carried on his commitment to this project. As a tribute to Representative Mullins’ dedication to higher education and his deep interest in athletics in general and the UMass sports program in particular, the facility was named in his memory. The University originally contracted with Ogden Entertainment Services to manage the William D. Mullins Center, and is now managed by SMG, the largest private management company in the world. The food and beverage concession was awarded to the Amherst Campus Auxiliary Services Division.

The Spring Valley Lake project was built upon Kalin Ranch, a former cattle ranch that was being utilized for alfalfa farming and lay serene and quiet on both sides of the Mojave River. The whole area was at one time called Rancho Verde Co., which was purchased in 1877. Lake construction began in June 1969, and was officially filled and completed in February 1970. The lake is one mile long and reaches a depth of 22 feet. Portions of the Sage Hen Ranch were also included in the Spring Valley Lake project. Sage Hen Ranch (which now overlooks the 18 th green and 10 th fairway of the country club) was a guest ranch established in 1936 that boasted such guests as Mary Aster and Betty Davis, who both made films there.

U.S. Olympic Education Training Center - Marquette, MI The U.S. Olympic Education Center, located on the campus of Northern Michigan University, is the first and only Olympic training program dedicated to providing educational opportunities for current and future U.S. Olympians. In 1985, the U.S. Olympic Committee originally designated NMU as an Olympic Training Center. In recognition of its special role in educating Olympic athletes, the university was re-designated, as the nation's only Olympic Education Center in 1989. The USOEC is situated in the scenic city of Marquette, Michigan, which is on the southern shores of Lake Superior. With its central location, abundant snowfall, and moderate summer temperatures, the USOEC has hosted resident programs in badminton, biathlon, boxing, cross-country skiing, Greco-roman wrestling, Nordic combined skiing, short and long track speedskating, ski jumping, and team handball. However, it is the educational focus of the USOEC, which makes it a unique Olympic training program. Most resident athletes attend either Marquette Senior High School or NMU and must maintain a minimum grade point average.

A University for Hartford, A University for the World A SHORT HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD Chapter Four. A National Institution Among those at the groundbreaking for Mortensen Library were librarian John Mcgavern (left), President Woodruff (third from left) and William H. Mortensen (third from right). Blessed with indefatigable energy and a keen eye for publicity, President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg set about his responsibilities with vigor. President Trachtenberg was as deeply committed to the academic and teaching side of the University as he was to its physical and financial development. He strengthened the requirements for both teaching and research credentials for faculty members and oversaw the development, and implementation, in 1987, of the All-University Curriculum, the University's most admired and emulated cross-disciplinary learning program and the undergraduate program that has probably had the most decisive effect on the current learning environment at the University. This program, as the University's undergraduate bulletin puts it, provides shared learning experiences for students in baccalaureate programs across the University through "a core of common studies." "Since faculty from all schools and colleges of the University teach these courses," the catalog description goes on, "the curriculum takes full advantage of the diverse resources of the institution. In addition to providing students breadth of knowledge in their liberal education, the All-University Curriculum makes clear the relationships among disciplinary areas of knowledge through integrative, cross-disciplinary courses. These courses also emphasize the development of written and oral communication, critical thinking and problem solving, values identification and independent decision making, social interaction, and responsibility for civic life."
