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 entertain- ment and sports, rich history and abundant professional oppor- tunities. In fact, Philadelphia - the nation’s fifth largest city and hub of the Northeast corridor - serves as a kind of alternate cam- pus.

Students take advantage of the city in many ways. Thanks to an extensive and supportive alumni network, they obtain internships with leading companies and other regional employers, take part in cooperative learning programs and find rewarding positions in the corporate, government, and service sectors.

Center City

SJU's Philadelphia location gives students access to two worlds. The campus resembles a park, surrounded by the state- ly homes of Philadelphia's historic Main Line suburbs. Yet stu- dents have access to the cultural, commercial, and recreational activities of downtown Philadelphia -- only a short ride away.

SJU students take frequent advantage of the artistic and cultural resources Philadelphia offers, as well. They visit the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the Franklin Institute Science Museum; the Academy of Music, which houses ballet and opera; and the new Kimmel Center, home to the Philadelphia Orchestra. In addition, SJU students know they always have a good time rooting for Philadelphia or other hometown teams in the four major profes- sional sports.

DiJulia also spearheaded SJU’s hosting of various conference and national tournaments, including the 2000 NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four held at the First Union Center in Philadelphia.

He then went on to assistant coaching positions in basketball at Fairfield University, George Washington University and American University. During his first stint as Director of Athletics at Saint Joseph’s from 1976 to 1981, DiJulia was instrumental in the planning and construction of the $5 million athletic and recreation complex. He also oversaw the growth of women’s athletics as softball and cross country were added as varsity sports. DiJulia left Saint Joseph’s in 1981 to become commissioner of the East Coast Conference, a position he held for two years until leaving to become the commis- sioner of the Metro Atlantic from 1984 to1988.

2006-07 SAINT JOSEPH’S BASKETBALL• 187 SJU 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 dra- matic setting for the construction of the college’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 fac- ulty 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 pep rally saw the colors on a book he was holding. Thinking they looked attrac- tive together, he announced that these would be the school colors. The Saint Joseph’s University Pep Band, under the direction of Tim Laushey (photo at right), is “The Hawk Will Never Die!” made up of students from every class.

Phil Martelli serves as the co-chair for the Philadelphia chapter of Coaches vs. Cancer, which strives to increase awareness and resources to fight the disease. The Philadelphia group, comprised of the city’s six Division I coaches, is one of the highest fund-raising groups in the nation. The Philadelphia coaches hold a number events during the year, including the Jim Maloney Golf Classic (September), the March Madness Tip-Off Breakfast (March) and the “Basket Ball”, a black-tie gala (April). The group has set a goal of one million dollars to be raised this year. “The goal is that we will never again have to do events like these because cancer will be beaten. It keeps me going because everybody on this campus has been affected by this dreadful disease. My desire is that my small contribution can help lessen or eliminate the sorrow and great pain people have gone through,” said Martelli.

Philadelphia’s coaches have joined together in the fight against cancer - (left to right) (current Temple and former Penn coach), John Chaney (former Temple coach), (La Salle), Jay Wright (Villanova), Phil Martelli (Saint Joseph’s) and Bruiser Flint (Drexel).

Coaches vs. Cancer is the charity of choice of the National Basketball Coaches Association (NABC). Every season, to raise awareness, the NABC calls upon its coach- es to wear sneakers during a designated Martelli and the Philadelphia coaches and their wives host a black-tie game. event every year which raises hundreds of thousands of dollars for the American Cancer Society.
