A DISTINGUISHED PRIVATE UNIVERSITY

The founding of New York University in 1831 by a group of eminent private citizens was a historic event in American education. In the early 19th century, a major emphasis in higher education was on the study of Greek and Latin, with little attention to modern or contemporary subjects. The founders of New York University intended to enlarge the scope of higher education to meet the needs of persons aspiring to careers in business, industry, science, and the arts, as well as law, medicine, and the ministry. The opening of the University of London in 1828 convinced New Yorkers that their city, too, should have a university. The first president of New York University's governing council, Albert Gallatin, and his co-founders said that the new university was to be a "national university" that would provide a "rational and practical education for all." The result of the founders' foresight is today an institution of higher education at the forefront of America's urban research universities. Of the more than 3,000 colleges and universities in America, New York University is one of the 58 private institutions that are members of the distinguished Association of American Universities. Among its stellar – and accessible – faculty are recipients of the Nobel, Abel, and Pulitzer Prizes; the MacArthur, Guggenheim, and Fulbright Fellowships; and Academy and Emmy Awards. The University includes 14 schools, colleges, and divisions at six major centers in Manhattan. In addition, the University operates branch campus programs in Westchester County at Manhattanville College and in Rockland County at Dominican College. Students come to the University from all 50 states and 150 foreign countries, and when they arrive at NYU they find a remarkable "campus of the city." Twenty-six residence halls offer a warm and friendly home-away-from-home. In addition to encountering outstanding faculty in the classroom and an extraordinary range of academic resources, newcomers find themselves in a dynamic setting for study and learning. Violet banners colorfully mark the buildings housing NYU. Behind these banners are unsurpassed resources: eight libraries holding well over three million books; the Courant Institute of Mathematics; Tisch School of the Arts; the Institute of Fine Arts; cultural and foreign language centers; sophisticated computer facilities; and art galleries. These resources, among many others, blend with the educational environment of one of the greatest cities in the Western World. New York City – the international center of finance, culture and communications – offers unmatched internship possibilities and job opportunities. Student life centers around Washington Square in the heart of historic Greenwich Village. More than 350 NYU clubs and organizations provide students with the opportunity to share interests and discover new ones. When not busy with university life, students can also explore the narrow, winding streets of the Village and discover shops and boutiques, restaurants and cafes, theatres and galleries. The Jerome S. Coles Sports & Recreation Center and the Palladium Athletic Facility enable all NYU students – from varsity athletes to those wishing to swim or workout between classes – to take part in an active sports program. For those who are sports fans, these venues offer exciting athletic events pitting NYU teams against their competitors, many of whom are members of the University Athletic Association, a league of eight major urban research universities with an emphasis on academic achievement, stretching from Brandeis University in Boston to Emory University in Atlanta. The success of New York University graduates can be seen in their exceptional record of admission to the nation's most prestigious graduate and professional schools; in the number of careers launched; and in the achievements of alumni who are leaders in business, government and the arts - every sphere of public life. New York University graduates are represented in positions of leadership and influence throughout the nation: Jonas Salk, developer of the first polio vaccine; John J. Creedon, President of Metropolitan Life Insurance Company; Albert Sabin, developer of the oral polio vaccine; Lamar Alexander, former governor of Tennessee and one-time presidential candidate; Laurence A. Tisch, former Chief Executive Officer of CBS; Alan Greenspan, the long-time chair of the Federal Reserve; Dr. Robert K. Jarvik, developer of the first successful artificial heart; Joseph Heller, novelist; Larry Rivers, artist; film directors Spike Lee, Martin Scorcese and Oliver Stone; Henry A. Grunwald, former Ambassador to Austria; Constance Baker-Motley, the first black woman appointed as a United States district judge; and George D. Wald, Nobel laureate in biology.

Head Coach Joe Nesci

Another group that might see an increase in playing time this season will be the foursome of 6-2 sophomore guard Andrew Baker, 6-3 junior guard Danny McMahon, 6-3 junior guard Chip Borsi, and 6-8 junior center Clayton Taibi. All of them saw limited playing time last season. “My expectation is that this group will continue to improve and be ready to go at the start of the season,” Nesci noted. “They’ll have to play hard on both offense and defense. So far, I like what I see from our reserves.” The freshman class may also provide depth for the Violets. In the backcourt, 6-1 Jude Dworaczyk and 6-2 Allen Tate are “all-around solid guards who play hard and are ready to compete for possible playing time,” according to Nesci. Up front, 6-6 Ben Dorman is “a versatile forward who can play both inside and out,” while the 6-8 Andy Stein “is physically ready to compete every day in practice and will provide depth at center as the season begins,” Nesci suggested. The season opens on Nov. 15 when NYU takes on the University of Redlands at the Kean University Classic. The home schedule begins Nov. 22 as the Violets host Baruch College in the opening round of the annual NYU Tip-off Tournament. The team begins another grueling UAA season on Jan. 9 against Carnegie Mellon. In keeping with the theme of patience, Nesci won’t set any specific goals for this season, saying that simple progress is enough. “The goals for this season will be to show patience with this young team with an eye towards continuing to improve throughout the season,” Nesci revealed. “Though we are still a young team, we do have more experience this season than last and we will continue to work hard. I feel that we’ll be a good team and improve our play throughout the season.” Junior Keith Jensen is NYU’s leading returning scorer.

24 www.gonyuathletics.com 2008-09 NYU Men’s Basketball 2007-08: A LOOK BACK

The 2007-08 New York University men’s basketball team could best be characterized by its ability to defy the odds, skeptics and its own inexperience to earn its fourth postseason appearance in the past five seasons. While head coach Joe Nesci fielded one of the youngest teams of his 20-year tenure, the Violets managed to go 16-11, including a 6-8 mark against an arduous University Athletic Association (UAA) schedule, and reach the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Division III Metropolitan Tournament semifinals. Most importantly, Nesci saw significant growth from a roster possessing scant varsity experience. After averaging 6.7 minutes per game as a rookie, sophomore forward Keith Jensen (10.9 ppg, 4.1 rpg, 38.8 3FG%) emerged as one of the best young all-around talents in the UAA, earning Honorable Mention All-UAA notice after leading NYU in scoring. Junior center John Mish (9.8 ppg, 5.0 rpg, 56.4 FG%) might have been the biggest revelation of all the Violets, starting the final 11 games and eventually earning Honorable Mention All-UAA accolades after playing sparingly at the start of the season. He scored in double digits in 14 of his final 15 games, with his breakthrough performance coming when he netted 24 points as NYU overcame a 15-point deficit to defeat the #24 ranked Carnegie Mellon University, 63-58, on Jan. 20 in Pittsburgh. Joining Jensen and Mish among the starting five were sophomore guard Omar Meziab, who played just 19 minutes in 2006-07 after being promoted from the junior varsity, and freshman Richie Polan. Meziab (6.4 ppg, 83.6 FT%) provided steady play in the backcourt and tallied 17 points in his first collegiate start in a 61-53 win over Framingham State College on Nov. 17. Meanwhile, the 6-8 Polan emerged as one of the top newcomers in Division III with his sharp outside shooting and solid rebounding. Polan poured in 22 points against then-#2 ranked Brandeis University on Jan. 12, then scored 20 to spark a 92-85, double-overtime upset of then-#6 University of Rochester on Feb. 17 at the Jerome S. Coles Sports Center. Others who developed into valued contributors included 6-4 sophomore forward Zachary Kuba (6.3 ppg, 2.8 rpg), one of the few returning Violets who saw action in 2006-07. Kuba scored all 20 of his points after halftime in the thrilling victory over Rochester, including a three-pointer late in the first overtime to force Senior Charlie Parker ranked second in scoring on the Violets and earned Honorable Mention All-UAA accolades. the decisive second extra session. Meanwhile, freshmen guards D.J. Glavan (4.7 ppg, 50.0 FG%) and Derek Becker (2.0 ppg, 63.3 FG%) showed the type of defensive tenacity that became a trusted low-post option off the pine late in the season. inspired Nesci to keep them on the court late in games. Glavan also proved he Senior co-captains Charlie Parker and Michael Magee entered could score with the ball, as his 23-point performance in a 70-54 win over Endicott the campaign as the two Violets who had seen extended varsity action, and College on Dec. 9 attested. Junior Bill Morrissey (1.1 ppg, 1.3 rpg), a 6-8 center, they helped lead the team to respective winning streaks of seven and five games. An Honorable Mention All-UAA selection at guard, Parker (10.4 ppg, 83.3 FT%) was named the Most Valuable Player of the NYU Holiday Tournament (Dec. 29-30), hit for 18 points in the triumph over Rochester and ended up fifth all-time in three-point field-goal percentage (39.3). Meanwhile, Magee (7.8 ppg, 6.1 rpg), a 6-9 pivot, enjoyed his best season statistically before an injury sidelined him for the second half of the year.

New York University is a member of the University Athletic Association (UAA). Organized in 1986, the UAA is a unique group of universities dedicated to running competitive athletic programs while maintaining academic standards of the highest quality. The eight members of the UAA are committed to a philosophy that values athletics as an integral part of the student’s total education and believes that excellence in athletics and academics are not mutually exclusive. Accordingly, NYU student-athletes are treated the same as other students in admissions, financial aid, and academic policies. In addition, all men’s and women’s sports receive equal emphasis. The other members of the UAA, all private research universities with undergraduate, graduate, and professional programs, are: Brandeis University (Waltham, MA); Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA); Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH); the University of Chicago (Chicago, IL); Emory University (Atlanta, GA); the University of Rochester (Rochester, NY); and Washington University (St. Louis, MO). The University Athletic Association sponsors competition in 22 sports — 12 sports for men and 10 sports for women —- including football, soccer, cross country, volleyball, basketball, fencing, wrestling, swimming & diving, indoor track & field, outdoor track & field, tennis, golf, softball, and baseball. During the 2007-08 season, the NYU men’s cross country team won its second consecutive UAA Championship en route to capturing its first-ever NCAA Division III National Championship. The wrestling team earned its fourth UAA championship. The men’s golf team, as did both the men’s and women’s swimming & diving teams, placed third at their respective championship events. Overall, NYU has collected 38 UAA Championships in seven different sports since the Association’s inception in 1986.

JEROME S. COLES SPORTS CENTER

The Jerome S. Coles Sports and Recreation Center, which opened in September 1981, is the hub of recreational and athletic needs for the University’s students, faculty, staff, and alumni. Each year, the facilities accommodate a wide range of individual and group recreational sports and fitness activities, including over 1,000 different courses at various skill levels serving 11,000 participants, as well as club sports and an intramural program enjoyed by approximately 8,500 students. The Center also serves as the primary home of the University’s 21-sport intercollegiate athletic program. The operating schedule of the Center provides every member of the University community with an opportunity to participate in these activities, or to make use of open space for individual workouts. The Center also has played host to the following events: NCAA Basketball National Championships, NCAA Regional Wrestling Championships, NCAA Regional Fencing Championships, NCAA Regional Volleyball Championships, ECAC Regional Basketball Championships, Metropolitan Wrestling Championships, International Wrestling events, International Fencing Association Championships, University Athletic Association Championships in several sports, and the National Collegiate Tae Kwon Do Championships. The Center is located at 181 Mercer Street (between Bleecker and Houston streets), covers 142,000 square feet and has four levels (roof, lobby, natatorium, and fieldhouse). Recently, NYU undertook extensive renovations of the rooftop, including the removal of the previous roof system, replacement of the roof ’s water proofing membrane, installation of a new state-of-the-art tennis and track surface, and extension of the three-lane sprint running course. Up to 3,000 members use the facility daily. Approximately 1,900 spectators can be seated in the fieldhouse bleachers and 230 can be seated in the natatorium bleachers. The Center is barrier-free and accessible to physically challenged persons. Several of NYU's varsity teams play their home games/matches at Coles: men's & women's basketball, men's & women's fencing, men's & women's volleyball, and men's wrestling. PALLADIUM ATHLETIC FACILITY

The Palladium Athletic Facility (PAF), located on East 14th Street near Union Square, is the latest in cutting-edge sports complexes designed to feel like a private health club. The facility boasts an aerodynamically designed, L-shaped, deep-water pool, perfect for anything from swimming laps to varsity-level competition. Some of the highlights of the PAF, which opened in the fall of 2002, include a 3,140 square-foot weight room complete with free weights, selectorized machines and a FitLinxx workout system. The Fitlinxx system is a series of weight-lifting machines connected to a com- puter network that not only tells one how fast to pump, but also remembers previous workouts and weight-settings. The PAF also features a 3,433 square-foot aerobic fitness room dedicated to cardio equipment, which includes treadmills, elliptical trainers and exercycles. Each machine is outfit- ted with consoles into which patrons can plug their own headphones to receive audio from the nine TV stations playing in the room or the eight commercial-free cable radio stations. From this environment, one can move to the 30-foot-high climbing center or to the group cycling room. The main gym can be used for either volleyball or basketball. The auxiliary gym is outfitted with a high-tech sound system and progressive fitness equipment, such as exercise balls and body bars, making it the perfect haven for recreation classes. In addition, it has two half-sized basketball courts, which can be utilized when recreation classes are not in session.
