THE UNIVERSITY SAINT JOSEPH’S UNIVERSITY

Spirit • Intellect • Purpose

Founded in 1851, Saint Joseph's is an independent, Catholic, Jesuit university teaching disciplined reasoning, effective communication, and a love of learning. From Willings Alley in Old City Philadelphia to Stiles Street in North Philadelphia to its current location on City Avenue, Saint Joseph's has continued to grow and change with the times. 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 rig- orous and supportive community, Saint Joseph's challenges its students to exceed their highest professional and personal ambitions, fosters the mature development of values, and deepens a desire to help shape the world. These characteristics are reflective of the University's core values of Spirit • Intellect • Purpose. Full-time, undergraduate day enrollment is approximately 4,150. Graduate, evening and executive programs push total enrollment to more than 7,000.

SPIRIT Men and women leave Saint Joseph's prepared. The University boasts an excellent record of its graduates earning initial employment, enrollment in professional schools, and other advanced-degree programs. Part-time work and internships provide real-world experiences, the kind which delight future employers. And with its many diverse student organizations, SJU offers ample opportunities to assume leadership positions. An extensive on-campus recruitment program provides graduates with a head start in their employment search. Regular meetings with faculty advisors - along with advisory programs in the health professions and in pre-law - assist students who wish to further their schooling. SJU's City Avenue location combines the best of dynamic Philadelphia with the suburban, residential setting of the elegant Main Line. Saint Joseph's 65 acres span two counties, allowing students to literally enjoy the best of both worlds. The city of Philadelphia, with its tremendous wealth of historical, cultural, social, and athletic attractions, is easily accessible, while the safety, serenity, and greenery of a suburban campus are right at hand. The friendly atmosphere and close-knit campus ensure that students don't get lost literally or figuratively at Saint Joseph's.

INTELLECT Saint Joseph's nationally recognized academic reputation is con- firmed by ongoing acknowledgment in Barron's, U.S. News & World Report, and Peterson's. The Jesuit tradition of intellectual inquiry and personal concern manifests itself in small, challenging classes taught by a caring faculty. Graduate assistants do not teach, so undergraduates receive the very best educational experience. One-on-one interaction among students 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 pre- pares 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 science, and natural sciences and mathematics (see below for a com- plete list of majors). Students who wish to explore intellectual questions and themes embodied in the intersection of two disciplines may create an interdepartmental major. The College of Arts and Sciences is also home to many special academic programs designed to enrich the undergraduate experience and underscore a commitment to experiential learning. These offerings include service-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 professional curriculum with the valuable skills of a strong liberal arts foun- dation. 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 Majors in the College of projects such as developing a financial plan for a Philadelphia area not- for-profit and internships selected in conjunction with faculty and Career Arts and Sciences Development Center advisors.

Campus Life at Saint Joseph’s University The culture of Saint Joseph's invites students to give fully to them- selves and be actively involved in all aspects of campus life. Most take advantage of the opportunities available to them to grow intellectually, socially, physically, morally, ethically, and spiritually. This infectious spirit of positive engagement creates a highly dynamic and interactive community, built upon Jesuit, Catholic 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 tran- quil campus and ready access to the city’s diverse population, vibrant cultural life, major-league entertainment and sports, rich history and abundant professional opportunities. Philadelphia – the nation’s fifth largest city and hub of the Northeast corridor – serves as a kind of alter- nate campus for Saint Joseph’s students. 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, govern- ment, and service sectors.

The campus resembles a park, surrounded by the stately homes of Philadelphia's historic Main Line suburbs. Center City’s cultural, commer- cial, and recreational activities are only a short ride away. SJU students take frequent advantage of the artistic and cultural resources Philadelphia offers – the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Franklin Institute Science Museum, and the new Kimmel Center, to name a few. In addition to rooting for their beloved Hawks, SJU students can be found cheering on the eight professional sports teams in the city, particu- larly the Eagles, Flyers, Phillies and 76ers.

2007-08 SAINT JOSEPH’S BASKETBALL• 189 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 dramatic 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 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 pep rally saw the colors on a book he was holding. Thinking they looked attractive together, he announced that these would be the The Saint Joseph’s University Pep Band, under school colors. the direction of Tim Laushey (photo at right), is made up of students from every class.

2007-08 SAINT JOSEPH’S BASKETBALL• 190 COACHES VS. CANCER

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 everyone has, in some way, 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.
