Corwin was
named NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year in
1997 and Midwest Regional Coach of the Year in 1999.
Corwin has
been a part of Kalamazoo College's prestigious tennis
tradition as a player and coach. As a player under legendary
coach George Acker, Corwin helped the Hornets win the
1986 NCAA Division III team championship and won the
Division III singles championship in the process. In
1993, he was an assistant coach under Acker, helping
the Hornets capture their third consecutive national
championship.
Corwin also
serves as director of the United States Tennis Association
Boys 18 and 16 Super National Championships, which have
been held in Kalamazoo every August since 1943. Corwin
took over the USTA post after long-time director Rolla

tournament's assistant director in 1993.
He also
serves as a member of the board of directors for the
Western Michigan Tennis Association and the Kalamazoo
YMCA. Corwin also serves on USTA committees at the Sectional
and National levels.
Corwin is
a full-time faculty member at Kalamazoo, teaching in
the physical education department. He also serves as
the director of men's athletics.
A 1991 Kalamazoo
College Athletic Hall of Fame inductee, he achieved
All-America honors eight times during his four-year
career as a Hornet, taking the honor in both singles
and doubles all four seasons. A native of Milwaukee,
Wis., Corwin was also named to the All-Michigan Intercollegiate
Athletic Association First Team all four years.
As a senior
Corwin was awarded the prestigious Arthur Ashe Award,
presented to the player who best combines athletic ability,
sportsmanship and scholarship. He also became the first
person in MIAA history to win both the league MVP award
and the Allen B. Stowe award for sportsmanship in the
same season.
The Hornet
head coach competed professionally in the United States
and in Europe from 1987 to 1989 and has served as a
tennis instructor and coach at the Hockey-Tennis Club
Schwarz-Weiss Bonn in Bonn, Germany.
Corwin received
his bachelor of arts degree from Kalamazoo College in
1986 and completed a post-graduate fellowship at Rheinische
Friedrich-Wilhelms University in Bonn, Germany, in 1987.
He earned a degree from the Marquette University Law
School in May of 1992.
