Emmalie (Gessner)
Cowherd, '61,
played an influential
role in beginning
Baker University's
softball and women's
basketball programs.
She was inducted
into Baker's Athletic
Hall of Fame in 2003 for her significant
contributions to the field of education,
recreational health, and sports, and
in her achievements in coaching
collegiate athletics at Baker. She
began her teaching and coaching
career at Baldwin High School. After
spending time at home with her two
sons, she returned to Baker University
in 1976 to teach and coach full time.
Her chief responsibility was to organize
and coach the university's first softball
and women's basketball programs.
She coached basketball from 1976 to
1978 and softball from 1976 to 1983.
At the 1981 National Association of
Intercollegiate Athletics for Women
Softball Tournament, Baker finished
ninth for Division III. The 1982
team finished third. Cowherd loved
teaching and coaching, providing the
educational and physical tools her
students and athletes needed. She
also knew that funding was essential
and put in place three scholarships
at Baker University that support
two of her passions: softball and
biology. She served on the Baker
Board of Trustees.
