The University combines the Jesuit tradition of academic excellence, a history of service, and an ideal campus location to produce successful students who seek to make a good world even better. An academically rigorous and supportive commu- nity, Saint Joseph's challenges its students to exceed their highest profes- sional and personal ambitions, fosters the mature development of values, and deepens a desire to help shape the world.

INTELLECT Saint Joseph's nationally recognized academic reputation is confirmed by ongoing acknowledgment in Barron's, U.S. News & World Report, Forbes and Peterson's. The Jesuit tradition of intellectual inquiry and per- sonal concern manifests itself in small, challenging classes taught by a car- ing faculty. Graduate assistants do not teach, so undergraduates receive the very best educational experience. One-on-one interaction among stu- dents and faculty is a reality at Saint Joseph's. A solid liberal arts curriculum provides across-the-board learning for every student. Supporting that curriculum are comprehensive academic majors and learning facilities. The result is a broad education that prepares students not only for employment and graduate school, but also for life itself. In the fall of 1998, SJU opened the $25 million Owen A. Mandeville Hall, which houses the Erivan K. Haub School of Business, the Center for Food Marketing and Wolfington Teletorium, the region's only "Teletorium" and "Moot Boardrooms." An 87,000-square-foot international academic center featuring state-of-the-art distance learning technology, it is located near the corner of 54th Street and City Avenue.

College of Arts and Sciences Students enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences pursue a major course of study in one of the college’s three divisions: humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences and mathematics (see below for a complete list of majors). Students who wish to explore intellectual questions and themes embodied in the intersection of two disciplines may create an inter- departmental major. The College of Arts and Sciences is also home to many special academ- ic programs designed to enrich the undergraduate experience and under- score a commitment to experiential learning. These offerings include serv- ice-learning programs, study abroad, internships, and R.O.T.C. Through these opportunities, Saint Joseph's students gain valuable experience that coincides with the Jesuit tradition of making a difference in the world through the spread and pursuit of knowledge – in the classroom and beyond.

Erivan K. Haub School of Business Students in the Erivan K. Haub School of Business approach their pro- fessional curriculum with the valuable skills of a strong liberal arts founda- tion. This component of their education ensures that students can enter the business world as analytical and critical thinkers, well practiced in oral and written self-expression. Every course is influenced by the Haub School’s location in state-of-the-art Mandeville Hall, a building that set a national standard for classroom technology. Students and faculty plug laptops into network ports in any seat, and classes are taught from computer-driven podiums networked directly to student computers. Experiential learning is as fundamental to the Haub School of Business as in the College of Arts and Sciences. This includes service projects such Majors in the College of as developing a financial plan for a Philadelphia area not-for-profit and internships selected in conjunction with faculty and Career Development Arts and Sciences Center advisors.

Campus Life at Saint Joseph’s University The culture of Saint Joseph's invites students to give fully of themselves and be actively involved in all aspects of campus life. Most take advantage of the opportunities available to them to grow intellectually, socially, physi- cally, morally, ethically, and spiritually. This infectious spirit of positive engagement creates a highly dynamic and interactive community, built upon Catholic, Jesuit values. Personal integrity and concern for others distinguish campus life. Students support one another, respect differences, discover common bonds and build lifelong friendships during their years at the University. Their attachment to the extended Saint Joseph's community remains strong throughout their lives and serves as a guiding example for how to live in a wider world as caring family members and engaged citizens.

An Expansive Metropolitan Experience Saint Joseph’s University is closely allied with the entire Philadelphia region. Due to its unique City Line location, students enjoy both a tranquil campus and ready access to the city’s diverse population, vibrant cultural life, major-league sports and entertainment, rich history and abundant pro- fessional opportunities. Philadelphia – the nation’s sixth largest city and hub of the – serves as a kind of alternate campus for Saint Joseph’s students. Students take advantage of the city in many ways.

Since that time, SJSN’s coverage of Hawk athletics has grown and current- ly includes live coverage of all Hawk men’s and women’s basketball games, Phil Martelli’s HawkTalk radio program, the nationally- renowned HawkTalk television show and Courtside, the Saint Joseph’s women’s basketball show. All of SJU’s women’s games can also be heard via audio streaming on the internet at the Hawks’ official athletics site, www.sjuhawks.com. Video streaming of selected games will also be available on www.sjuhawks.com as part of the Hawks All- Access package. Saint Joseph’s pioneered commercial radio of women’s college basketball in the area with a NCAA tournament game in March 1989 and followed that up with a package of regular season games ever since. The Cindy Griffin pregame show kicks-off game broadcasts.

The Hawks will again have a presence on television in 2008-09. Saint Joseph’s game versus St. Bonaventure on February 8 will be nationally televised on CBS College Sports Network. Saint Joseph’s affiliation with the Atlantic 10 Conference plays an integral role in the exposure received by the Hawks and the other A- 10 schools. CBS College Sports Network (formerly CSTV Networks, Inc.) entered into a long-term, comprehensive agreement with the Atlantic 10 Conference, including all 21 of the Conference's sports, prior to the start of the 2006-07 season. The agreement consists of all conference-related media and mar- keting rights including television, national over-the-air and satellite radio, video-on-demand, internet, broadband, wireless, and exclu- sive corporate sponsorship and licensing rights to all Atlantic 10 sports during the regular season and postseason championships, including the women's and men's basketball championships. It also covers the rights for all regular season, postseason, and Conference championships. CBS College Sports Network is the nation's leading digital sports media company and was the first company dedicated to the cover- age of college sports. Through an array of platforms, CBS College Sports Network connects more college sports fans to their favorite schools and sports in more ways than any other media company. In addition to its national television network, which broadcasts 35 women's and men's college sports, CBS College Sports also has a network of nearly 250 official collegiate athletic websites, including Saint Joseph's and all of the Atlantic 10's member schools. CBS College Sports Network recently launched more than 100 broadband channels dedicated to college sports. These are all avail- able through CSTVXXL.com or the individual school sites. The entire CBS College Sports Network XXL package will include more than 10,000 live events this year. Saint Joseph's is among the 100- plus schools with All-Access broadband channels which will offer audio and video of live games, archived games, coaches shows, press conferences, ticketing and e-commerce.

Why S-a-i-n-t Joseph’s University?

The corporate title “S-a-i-n-t” Joseph’s University, which has been in place since Saint Joseph’s was granted univer- sity status by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in 1979, is now the public title of the institution for all aspects of its operations. Previously, the abbreviation “St.” Joseph’s University was permitted in a number of alumni and athlet- SJUHawks.com (above) is home to Saint Joseph’s athletics. Fans can follow their favorite ic contexts. Hawk teams live during games using the Gametracker function (below) on the schedule page. The vast majority of academic and government publica- tions have referred to Saint Joseph’s University since at least 1986, as have most campus references with the excep- tion of athletics. However, university-wide “image cam- paign” has revealed the need to clarify this policy both inter- nally and externally. According to the most recent edition of the Higher Education Directory, there are at least nine recognized “St. Joseph’s” among the nation’s colleges and universities. Only one of them - Saint Joseph’s University, Philadelphia - is a university-level, Master’s I, NCAA Division I institution. A complete spelling of Saint Joseph’s University in all con- texts will help eliminate any confusion among higher educa- tion and other public constituencies. Style information for print, electronic and digital media is available. It includes accepted abbreviations of the corpo- rate name (e.g., “SJU” or “St. Joe’s” in headlines or certain informal references) as well as prohibited usages (e.g., par- tial abbreviations such as “St. Joseph’s” or “Saint Joe’s”).

2008-09 Saint Joseph’s University Women’s Basketball 149 Tradition & Spirit

Why Hawk Hill? In the early 1920’s, former University president Albert G. Brown, S.J., decided to move the college campus from its location just north of the city at 17th and Stiles to its current site on Philadelphia’s city line. He selected the location in part because its hilltop perch overlooking downtown Philadelphia provided a dramatic setting for the construction of the col- lege’s main building, Barbelin Hall. In fact, for many years Barbelin’s signature carillon tower ranked as the highest point from sea level in the city of Philadelphia. Later, according to oral tradition, students and faculty frequently saw real hawks circling the skies above Barbelin, before swooping down on their prey. The familiar scene eventually led to the coining of the moniker “Hawk Hill.” Crimson and Gray The college colors of crimson and gray date back to the 1890’s when it is related that a young seminarian leading a The Saint Joseph’s University Pep Band, under pep rally saw the colors on a book he was holding. Thinking the direction of Tim Laushey (photo at right), is they looked attractive together, he announced that these made up of students from every class. They are would be the school colors. often joined by other musicians who are alumni, friends and fans of the Hawks.

The constant flapping, coupled with the scrappy play of the University’s athletic teams, helped to spawn the school’s famil- iar slogan “The Hawk Will Never Die!”

150 2008-09 Saint Joseph’s University Women’s Basketball The Hawk

The Saint Joseph’s “Hawk” has been flapping its wings for over half a century, celebrating its gold- en anniversary in 2004-05. The Hawk is one of the most famous mascots in college sports best known for staying in con- stant motion by flapping its “wings” from tip-off to the final buzzer of every game, as well as for “flying” in figure eights around the court during timeouts. The constant flapping, coupled with the scrappy play of the University’s athletic teams, helped to spawn the school’s familiar slo- gan “The Hawk Will Never Die!” ESPN used a “flap-o-meter” on a national telecast of a Saint Joseph’s game to estimate that the Hawk flaps its wings 3,500 times during a regulation Kevin Hensler, The Hawk game. The most decorated mascot in the country, the Hawk has garnered numerous accolades in its 50-year history. It has been selected as the nation’s top mascot by The Sporting News, Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated for Kids, Street & Smith’s Basketball Yearbook and ESPN College Basketball mag- azine. Eastern Basketball tabbed The Hawk as the Atlantic 10 Conference’s best mascot, while The Hawk won a “Best of Philly” award in 2003-04. Saint Joseph’s University athletic teams have been recognized with the nickname “Hawks” since 1929. At that time, the school’s yearbook editor, Charlie Dunn, initiated a contest among the student body for a symbol. More than 100 submissions were narrowed to two, with “Hawks” winning out over “Grenadiers” (World War I soldiers who specialized in tossing grenades) by a slim margin in the final vote. The winning suggestion was submit- ted by John Gallagher, Class of ‘31, who was a catcher on the Saint Joseph’s baseball team. He won a sweater with a special Saint Joseph’s monogram for selecting the winning name. According to the student annual, the name was appropriate because it typified “the fighting spirit of our crimson and gray athletes and it is suggestive of the aerial attack which has made our football team famous.” Football, ironically, was discon- tinued at Saint Joseph’s following the 1939 season. The idea for the Hawk as a mascot was originated by Jim Brennan during the 1954- 55 season. Brennan, an ex-Marine and SJU cheerleader, at first wanted to secure an actual hawk, but later switched to the costume idea. The student government raised the 120 dol- lars needed to buy the initial costume, which Brennan donned for three years. He made his debut as the Hawk on January 4, 1956, a 69-56 win over La Salle at the Palestra. The Hawk, who was present at most women’s basketball games, became a main-stay in 1989. Since then, nine SJU students have donned the costume.
