Lenny WagnerSRJC Coach, Instructor Wagner Named Educator of the Year Congratulations are being extended to Santa Rosa Junior College instructor and head football coach Leonard “Lenny” Wagner for being named a California Community College Physical Educators’ Educator of the Year for 2013. The award is given annually to faculty, administrators, deans and advocates for Physical Education. Only seven recipients are chosen for this award statewide, and Wagner has won the award as a faculty member. The awards ceremony will take place at the California Community College Athletic Association’s spring luncheon at the San Mateo Marriot on March 28 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. As Department Chair of the Kinesiology, Athletics, and Dance Department, Lenny Wagner has proved to be instrumental. Several months ago, Lenny was involved in creating a series of informative posters benefiting the KAD department. The posters helped define Kinesiology as a discipline and aided in the highlighting of the importance of routine exercise. These posters were eventually adopted for use in colleges statewide. Wagner has also contributed to the field of Physical Education through an extensive study explaining the relationship between the KAD department and SRJC as a whole. The study examined the financial and social benefits the department contributes to the college. The resulting report has been cited for keeping the KAD department alive and well at SRJC during a time of budget woes. In December, Wagner was named as the new head coach for SRJC’s football program, stepping up from his previous role as defensive coordinator. James Forkum, Dean of Kinesiology, Athletics and Dance, has said “as nominator for Lenny, and as a former CCCPE Health Educator of the Year award winner, I fully recognize the significance of this award for Lenny, for our department, the college community and for the greater community at large. The work Lenny has done has had an impact on our discipline throughout the state.”

BraceletBear Cubs for NATE Nathan Wagner is the son of Assistant Head Football Coach Lenny Wagner and wife Catrina. He is four years old and in February of 2010 was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer and tumor. During the last six months Nate has undergone numerous surgeries to remove the tumor as well as extensive radiation and chemotherapy treatments to kill any remaining cancer cells that may exist. In addition to the cancer, Nate is currently battling numerous side effects from a variety of medications that he has to take daily. Despite all that he has gone through, and all that he is currently going through, he remains strong, upbeat and an inspiration to everyone he meets. As a result SRJC Athletics has begun to sell "Bear Cubs for Nate" bracelets to increase awareness and support the Wagner family. All proceeds from the bracelets will be donated to the Nathan Wagner Fund. The "Bear Cubs for Nate" bracelets can be purchased in the SRJC Sports Medicine/Training room for $5.00 each. For more information contact Monica Ohkubo at mohkubo@santarosa.edu or 707-527-4457.

Message from the Wagner Family We would like to thank SRJC and the entire community of Sonoma County for the support, prayers and positive energy they have provided for our family. It has been a difference maker for us and we greatly appreciate it. -Lenny, Catrina & Nathan Wagner
