Fred Joseph is in his 16th season as head golf coach at IUP, directing one of the top programs in the East Region. Including three seasons as an assistant coach under Don White (1989 to 1992), Joseph has been involved with IUP golf for the past 19 years. Last October Joseph directed the Crimson Hawks to the PSAC title for the seventh time in his head coaching tenure, including four in a five-year span (1997-98 and 2000-01). Joseph has taken IUP to the NCAA Division II regional tournament each of the past 11 years, winning the championship in 2005 and finishing second five times. IUP has made the trip to the NCAA national tournament five times during Joseph's tenure, most recently in 2005, and placed as high as 12th in the nation in 1993. Joseph was selected the PSAC Coach of the Year seven times, earning the award in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2004, 2005 and 2007. He was also the GCAA District 2 Coach of the Year in 1998 and 1999 and the GCAA East Region Coach of the Year in 2005. Joseph is well known to IUP students beyond his capacity as golf coach, serving as the Director of Financial Aid for 29 years until retiring from that position in 2001. Joseph earned his bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics from Mount Union College and holds a master's degree in higher education from Kent State University. His wife, Candace, taught interior design at IUP, and his daughter, Jennifer, is an IUP graduate. |
