Coach Terry Bocian AQ Athletic Hall of Fame
Tamra Harig arrived on the Aquinas College campus in 1983 and immediately became a mainstay on the volleyball
team. Tammy was at the forefront in establishing a competitive and successful Saints program under the tutelage of
Coach Sharon Schatz. She was a four-year starter and captained the squad for two years. "[Tammy was] one of the
most driven athletes I have ever coached," said Coach Schatz. "She expected no less from her teammates, which made
her a great leader an role model both on and off the court." Tammy led the Saints to three NAIA post-season
appearances. For her efforts, Tammy was named NAIA All-State team on two occasions and was also on the AllAcademic
teams. In 1986, she made history by becoming the first Aquinas volleyball player to earn All-American
honors. After graduating cum laude from Aquinas with a double major in accounting and business administration,
Tammy was hired by the Internal Revenue Service and is celebrating 25 years with the IRS. She has earned several
performance awards from the IRS, including the Director's Excellence Award. Currently a senior team coordinator,
Tammy examines large multinational corporations while coordinating numerous tax law specialists. She has been a
registered CPA in the State of Michigan for more than 20 years. A life-long Westside Grand Rapids resident, Tammy
resides in Walker.
