2 Bucknell woMen’s Golf

Now entering his 13th season as the head coach of Bucknell’s women’s golf team, Kevin Jamieson has continued to elevate the relatively young program to one of the region’s best.

Only the second coach in the history of the Bucknell women’s golf program,

Jamieson is currently on a quest to become a PGA Professional, with a long-term goal to be a golf professional in a teaching and golf course management area. Coaching the Bison women’s golf team has been a different challenge for Jamieson, but one that has been extraordinarily fulfilling.

Jamieson has overseen his program’s transition into two different confer-ences during his tenure at Bucknell. In 2005, the Bison began play in the Big South Conference, and along with that move he upgraded the team’s schedule significantly. In their first two Big South Championship appearances, the Bison finished a solid sixth in a nine-team field, and in 2005 and 2006 the team moved up to fifth-place finishes with record-setting performances. In the spring of 2008, Bucknell finished fourth at the Big South Championship, and the Bison surpassed that performance with a third-place showing in 2011.

In 2012-13 women’s golf became a Patriot League-sponsored sport, and in April 2013 the Bison hosted the inaugural Patriot League Women’s Golf Cham-pionship at the Bucknell Golf Club. The Bison placed second in that event and had three players earn All-Patriot League honors, while Jamieson earned the very first Patriot League Coach of the Year award.

Under Jamieson’s watch, the Bison have consistently lowered their team and individual scoring records. In the spring of 2010, Minjoo Lee shot a then-school-record 2-under-par 70 and the team produced a best-ever 303 at the Big South Championship. In the fall of 2011 freshman Bridget Wilcox posted a 3-under 69 at the Nittany Lion Invitational for the first sub-70 round in program history. Bucknell then had three sub-300 rounds in 2011-12, two of them coming at the prestigious Kiawah Island Intercollegiate, where the Bison qualified for the championship flight for the first time.

Prior to the 2000-01 season, Jamieson succeeded Brad Tufts, who retired from Bucknell after more than 41 years of service to the University.

In addition to his duties as coach of the women’s golf team, Jamieson also serves as assistant golf professional at the Bucknell Golf Club. Prior to his stint at the BGC, Jamieson was the assistant pro at Williamsport Country Club under Professional Tom Cioffi.

Jamieson also picked up golf experience in the state of Florida, where he was the second assistant professional at Sanctuary Golf Club on Sanibel Island and the assistant pro at the Country Club of Naples.

Jamieson is a 1996 graduate of Western Maryland College (now McDaniel College), where he studied communications with an emphasis in interpersonal communication and a background in human resources. While at Western Mary-land he captained the golf team from 1993 to 1996. In the summer of 1992, he caddied for former professional Nicole Danforth on the Futures Tour.

His father, Sid, coached the Bucknell men’s lacrosse team from the program’s inception in 1968 until his retirement after the 2005 season. Kevin, his wife, Courtney, and their two young children, reside in Lewisburg.

2013-14 WOMEN’S GOLF ROSTER

Bison Golf

The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the cam-pus of Bucknell University.

Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of colle-giate athletics.

Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time man-agement, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, contribute to a well-rounded college experience.

At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-ath-lete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be reward-ed for a lifetime.

“... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s stud-ies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.”

— Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910

Bridget Wilcox joined teammate Kasha Scott on the inaugural 5-player Patriot League All-Academic Team in 2013.

Bucknell Bison Athleticssetting the stAndArd of excellence

Bucknell takes great pride in its commitment to excellence on and off the playing fields. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to gradua-tion rates that are ranked annually in the national top-10, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class when it comes to upholding the scholar-athlete ideal.

• According to federal data released by the NCAA each fall, Bucknell’s student-athlete graduation rate annually ranks in the top 10 among all Division I institutions. Bucknell has led the nation in graduation rates three times, including in the most recent survey in the fall of 2013.

• Bucknell has claimed a league-high 131 Patriot League Scholar-Ath-letes of the Year since the league’s inception as an all-sports conference in 1990-91.

• A total of 399 Bison appeared on the Patriot League Academic Hon-or Roll in 2012-13 after recording a GPA of 3.2 or better during their sport’s competition season. Among all BU student-athletes, 509 made the Dean’s List with GPAs of 3.5 or better during 2012-13.

• In addition to the 125 Capital One Academic All-Americans produced since 1970, Bucknell has also claimed 338 Academic All-District honor-ees over the same span, including nine in 2012-13.

• Bucknell has earned 95 Patriot League championships in 23 years in the league. In addition, Bucknell has had 120 conference players of the year, 103 PL coaches of the year and a whopping 570 individual league champions from sports such as cross country, track & field, swimming & diving, tennis and golf.

• 26 of Bucknell’s 27 varsity squads posted team GPAs of 3.0 or better in the spring of 2013.

• Bucknell has captured the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, signifying the league’s all-sports champion, 18 times in the 23-year history of the affiliation, including 14 of the last 16 years.

• Bucknell ranks FIFTH in the nation (to Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford) in total number of Capital One Academic All-Amer-ica selections with 125.

• A major element in ensuring Bucknell’s commitment to athletics excel-lence is the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics & Recreation Center, which opened fully in 2003. One of the finest collegiate athletics facilities of its kind, the center includes the 4,000-seat Sojka Pavilion, the Olym-pic class Kinney Natatorium, the Krebs Family Fitness Center and the Berger Family Weight Room. A Hall of Fame area, a display of Bucknell’s Medal of Honor recipients, an Academic All-America wall, a sports med-icine suite, modern offices for coaches and staff, and locker room and classroom space are also included in the facility’s layout.

Bucknell Bison AthleticsA nAtionAl Model in ProMoting the scholAr-Athlete ideAl

Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place.

BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. This program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come.

FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Buck-nell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy a full range of collegiate experiences.

SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is intro-duced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena.

ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. In addition, the Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for pro-moting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. Among the programs the Bucknell SAAC has undertaken in recent years are regular volunteer trips to the Lewisburg Food Bank, and involvement with the “Orange and Blue goes Green” sustainability program.

BISON GOOD SPORTS: Now in its seventh year, Bison Good Sports is a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. Bucknell teams have some of the best fan support in the Patriot League, and we encourage all fans to enthusiastically cheer on the Orange & Blue in a positive manner.


BachMan Golf center

The Bucknell campus community, and in particular the Bison varsity golf programs, now has a wonderful new addi-tion in the form of the new Bachman Golf Center. Ground was broken on the facility in September 2010, the indoor space was completed in the spring of 2011, and by the summer of 2011 the facility was fully functional, including the spacious new outdoor practice range and putting and short game areas.

The Bachman Golf Center is a multi-purpose, indoor/outdoor facility that is located adjacent to the existing prac-tice range, just across Smoketown Road from the 11th hole of the Bucknell Golf Club. The 5,600 square-foot building houses coaches’ offices and locker rooms for the Bison men’s and women’s teams, a video-equipped swing diagnostic area, indoor putting green and hitting bays, and a conference room.

Next to the building is a new 16,000-square-foot prac-tice tee, a 10,000-square-foot, two-tiered putting green and a 5,700-square-foot short-game practice green with bunkers.

The Bison varsity golf teams have full access to the facility, while Bucknell Golf Club members will have fee-for-use access outside the varsity playing seasons. The project was completely supported by donors.

“This wonderful new learning center is going to significant-ly enhance our ability to practice and prepare, both as a team and individually,” said Bucknell men’s golf coach Jim Cotner. “Today’s young players want to be able to work on their games all year round, and an indoor facility is essential to be able to attract top players to the Northeast. I also think the facility is going to play a big role in enhancing our team unity. It is going to provide us with a central location where our players can get together throughout the year.”

“This project has been a long time in the making, and it is a dream come true,” said Bucknell women’s golf coach Kevin Jamieson. “On behalf of the Bison golf programs, we thank every player, parent and friend that has paved the way for this project to become a reality. This facility will allow us to compete for some of the best players in the country that are looking for not only one of the best academic institutions, but one that can also offer wonderful practice facilities along with one of the nation’s best collegiate golf courses.”

The Bucknell varsity golf team has at its disposal one of the finest on-campus golf courses in the Northeast, the Bucknell Golf Club. The 18-hole course is complemented by a full-service restaurant and well-stocked pro shop, managed by veteran PGA Class A Professional Brian Kelly. The BGC also features a large practice range with both grass and artificial stalls, two large practice greens and additional short-game areas, including a practice bunker. The original nine holes were built in 1930 and designed by renowned course architect Emil Loeffler, who was the greens superintendent and architect of the famed Oakmont Country Club near Pittsburgh. Loeffler’s original nine was altered in 1947, and the course was expanded to 18 holes in 1964. Course architect Edward Ault of Silver Springs, Md., was hired to supervise the expansion. The course plays to a par 70 and is measured at 6,400 yards from the back of the championship tees. Despite the relative lack of length compared to many modern golf courses, the Bucknell layout presents a stern challenge to golfers of all abilities, playing to a rating of 70.0 and slope of 128 from the blue (back) tees. The club has hosted numerous U.S. Open local qualifiers and annually hosts the North Central Pennsylvania Golf Association’s Men’s and Women’s Amateur Championship. It is also in the regular rotation to host the Patriot League Championship, and has done so in 1994, 2000, 2005 and 2007.

school history to qualify for the state tourna-ment, and she was a four-year all-conference honoree.

Jamieson will learn a lot about his team at the Bison Invitational, and he is looking for steady improvement throughout the fall, with Penn State’s Nittany Lion Invitational at the end of September a target.

“We’d like to be peaking in the fall around Penn State,” said Jamieson. “There will be a good field there and we have some players who feel comfortable on that course. A good perfor-mance there would give us some momentum going into Rutgers, where we have also played well historically.”

The Bison will also play in the Yale Invi-tational and the Palmetto Intercollegiate at Kiawah Island this fall, all in preparation for the Patriot League Tournament, which will be at Saucon Valley Country Club on April 19-20.

“Boston University brings a new element to the Patriot League,” said Jamieson. “They are a scholarship program, and we know how strong they are after seeing them win our tournament last year. But we go into the season fully expect-ing to compete to win the championship, and we will be disappointed if we don’t. I really like our depth this year, and I think the 6-count-4 format will help us this year. How quickly the four freshmen adapt will be a major factor. They want to play well and make a strong first impression.”

Motivated by a narrow three-stroke defeat at last spring’s inaugural Patriot League Cham-pionship, the Bucknell women’s golf team will be counting on both veteran and young talent in 2013-14.

Three very familiar faces are back to lead the Bison. Lauren Bernard, Kasha Scott and Bridget Wilcox have all been starters since day one in the program, and now this decorated group is entering their final season. All three have some rust to shake off after doing com-petitive internships this summer, and Bernard is still closing in on 100 percent after suffering a broken foot last winter, but this trio will be driven to go out on top with a league champi-onship next spring.

All three seniors earned all-conference hon-ors after finishing in the top five at the Patriot League Championship at BGC last year. They all came right in as first-year players firing scores in the 70s, and their names are scattered across the Bucknell record books.

“It’s really hard to separate these three,” said Jamieson. “They have meant so much to the program. I think they are all back in better shape both mentally and physically than at this time last year. Because of last year’s letdown, after riding two years of high success, their mindset is in the right place. Last year was their first year really having to carry the load. It was their ship to steer, and that put a lot of pressure on them. It was a good learning experience and will help them this year.”

Long bomber Emily Timmons is the lone ju-nior on the squad. Timmons was a lineup regu-

lar last season and had some good moments. She posted three straight 82s and finished ninth at the Patriot League Championship. Jamieson thinks she has room to improve if she can eliminate a few big numbers each round.

“Emily is always one of our team leaders in pars,” said Jamieson. “She has the length to handle any golf course we throw at her. Her next step is to get away from those big num-bers that can ruin a round.”

Sophomores Meghan Garanich and Jen Lee saw plenty of tournament action as rookies a year ago. Lee played in every event in 2012-13 and Garanich appeared in all but two. Lee had a great showing at the MAC Preview in Ohio last October, shooting 74-83 in a T-13th finish. Garanich carded a season-best 77 in Las Vegas in the spring.

“Meghan really hit the weights hard this summer and has added about 15 yards of length off the tee,” said Jamieson. “That is really going to help her at this level. When Lauren broke her foot last year that resulted in Meghan getting a ton of experience.

“Jen has been battling the injury bug over the last year, but she has played through it and done very well at times. We got her into some new equipment, and it has made a world of difference.”

Jamieson is very high on his first-year class, consisting of Emily Larson, Ellie McGuire, Nicole Mischler and Callie Nelson. McGuire and Nel-son were teammates at New Trier High School in the Chicago area, while Larson hails from Arlington, Va., and Mischler from Ambler, Pa. All come with strong credentials, and now they will be in trying to play through that college adjustment period, particularly when it comes to the increased length of the courses.

Larson, the 2013 Middle Atlantic Golf As-sociation Player of the Year in the 15-18 age division, will be in the starting five at the Bison Invitational, along with Lee and three seniors. Jamieson thinks Larson has one of the best short games of anyone he has coached at Bucknell. She drives the ball well, and now they are working on trying to get more distance off the tee.

McGuire and Nelson were co-captains and co-MVPs at New Trier, where they captured Illi-nois state championships in 2010 and 2012 and runner-up finishes in 2009 and 2011. Both can bomb the ball, and now they are working with Jamieson on the tactical side of collegiate golf.

Jamieson says that Mischler is one of the best ball-strikers in the group and is a good pitcher and chipper. Improved putting is the one facet that could put her over the top to becoming a very strong player. At Mount St. Joseph Academy in the Philadelphia Catholic League, Mischler became the first freshman in

Postseason

PATRIOT LEAGUE WOMEN’S GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPAPRIL 20-21, 2013bUCKNELL GOLF CLUb, LEWISbURG, PA.

In 2012-13 women’s golf became the 24th sport sponsored by the Patriot League. After competing as a member of the Big South Conference for 10 years, Bucknell was selected to host the inaugural Patriot League Championship at the Bucknell Golf Club on Apr. 20-21. Lehigh, Navy and Holy Cross joined the Bison for the inaugural event (Boston University will be the next addition in 2013-14), and quickly it became a two-team race between Bucknell and Lehigh.

After 36 holes of golf on the opening day, the Mountain Hawks took a slim five-stroke lead. The Bison cut into that margin with a season-best 307 in the final round, but Lehigh shot 309 to claim the title by just three shots, 941 to 944. The top 11 individual finishers came from Bucknell and Lehigh, with Bridget Wilcox (2nd), Lauren Bernard (T3rd) and Kasha Scott (5th) all earning All-Patriot League honors for the Bison.

Kevin Jamieson receives the 2013 Patriot League Coach of the Year Award


Women’s golf at Bucknell began at the varsity level in 1998, as longtime administrator and former men’s coach Brad Tufts guided the fledgling program through its infancy.

Under the leadership of Tufts, a member of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, the first-year program won 3 of 4 dual matches and posted solid showings at four tournaments, including the prestigious ECAC Championship.

Bucknell’s inaugural team consisted primarily of women on campus who had previously expressed an interest in the sport, although it was two prominent freshmen that had previously played on boys teams in high school that led the team week after week — Hilary Mainka and Bridget O’Mara.

Mainka was the top Bison finisher in 10 of 11 events, and her final-round 80 at the ECAC Championship was the lowest of that inaugural season. O’Mara

recorded the program’s first hole-in-one at the Princeton Invitational.

In 1999 the scores continued to improve as the Bucknell program solidified. An outstanding freshman class, featuring Jess Hetrich, Molly Campbell, Amy Jones and Catherine Crews, infused even more talent into the young program. Mainka became the first Bison to break 80 in a com-petitive round, shooting 78 in the first round of the Rutgers Invitational, lead-ing Bucknell to a fourth-place finish.

Taking advantage of its outstand-ing home course, the Bucknell Golf Club, the Bison hosted the ECAC Championship for the first time in 1999, placing 13th out of 22 teams.

Bucknell also played a spring schedule for the first time in 1999-2000, participating in five events,

including two in North Carolina and one in South Carolina.In the fall of 2000, Tufts handed the program over to Lewisburg native Kevin

Jamieson, who had been serving as Tufts’ assistant coach, and the development of the program did not skip a beat.

The Bison hosted their first invitational tournament in the spring of 2001, finishing a strong third out of eight teams. Bucknell’s team total of 650 broke the school 36-hole record by 22 shots, while the second-round score of 321 was also a record. Mainka’s second-round 77 broke her own school individual record.

In 2001-02, the Bucknell women’s golf program moved into its “senior year.” Led by veterans Mainka and O’Mara, and the well-established Hetrich and Campbell, Bucknell enjoyed its best-ever season in the fall. The Bison tied for fifth on their home course at the ECAC Championship, while eight of the

top 11 team rounds to that point in program history were recorded during that campaign.

With several key players studying abroad in the spring of 2002, the Bison struggled a bit, but Hetrich reached a milestone in early April, becoming Bucknell’s first tournament medalist by winning the Bucknell Invitational by a two-stroke margin.

In the fall of 2002, Jaime Hays carded a 74 in the first round of the Yale Invitational, which stood as the school record for one year, until Frenchwoman Celine Herbin shot 73 at Yale.

The evolution of the program took another turn in December 2002, when the Bison joined a conference for the first time, affiliating with the

Big South. Bucknell took sixth in its first Big South Championship appearance in April 2003.

During the 2003-04 season the team was led by Herbin, a French foreign exchange student, who took advantage of her single year at Bucknell to re-write the golf team’s record book. Herbin averaged a 77.8 in the spring of 2004 and shot a school-record 73 twice. She won the Georgetown Invitational, had four

top-10 finishes and placed 11th at the Big South Championship.

In 2005 the Bison posted their then-best-ever finish (fifth) at the Big South Championship, and they claimed their first All-Big South per-former when then-freshman Amy Loughney posted 77-76-76 and tied for fifth place. Bucknell’s opening-round 315 at the event shattered the school 18-hole team record by four shots.

The Bison made even more his-tory in the fall of 2006, claiming their first-ever tournament title on Sept. 30-Oct. 1 at the Bison Fall Classic. Teri Schlang became the team’s first individual winner since Herbin in the spring of 2004, and she earned Buck-nell’s first-ever Big South Golfer of the Week honor.

In the spring of 2008 the Bison set 18, 36 and 54-hole records with rounds of 316-308-319 at the Susie Maxwell Berning Classic at Oklahoma, while Emily Chiodo and Kristen Phalen both lowered the individual scoring record to 73. Then at the Big South Championships a week later, Bucknell finished a best-ever fourth, with freshman Katie Jurenovich finishing in the top 10 (T-8th).

At the 2010 Big South Championship, Minjoo Lee opened 70-74, setting a new school mark with the opening 2-under 70, and she held the individual lead after 36 holes. She would end up finishing fourth.

Bucknell reached even more milestones in 2010-11. The Bison began the year with a win at the Bucknell Invitational, and then they closed the fall by win-ning the Wendy’s Invitational in Charleston, S.C., marking the first team title in program history on an away course. Lee was the medalist there, with freshman Kasha Scott finishing second. In the spring, Bucknell hit a new high-water mark with a third-place finish at the Big South Championship, with freshman Lauren Bernard claiming runner-up honors.

The Bison posted the first three sub-300 rounds in program history in 2010-11, and freshman Bridget Wilcox recorded Bucknell’s first competitive round in the 60s when she posted a 3-under 69 at Nittany Lion Invitational at the Penn State Blue Course.

Bucknell won its own event again in the fall of 2011. The Bison would later finish seventh at the 2012 Big South Championship, and that would end up being the team’s final appearance in that event. The Patriot League began sponsoring women’s golf in 2012-13, and Bucknell joined Lehigh, Holy Cross and Navy for the league’s inaugural season. The Bison hosted the 2013 Patriot League Championship and placed second to Lehigh by just three strokes.

Bucknell Athletics Facilities

Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium: The home of Bison men’s lacrosse, football and track & field.

The Bucknell University Department of Ath-letics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 18 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 23 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 125 Aca-demic All-Americans in 43 years and 131 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 23 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of uphold-ing the scholar-athlete model.

The addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success.

The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni.

Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Na-tatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a brand new display highlighting Bucknell’s all-time Academic All-Americans, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes.

The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell gradu-ate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996.

One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison wrestling and volleyball teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities.

As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center becomes the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club and brand new Bachman Golf Center; the newly refurbished Depew Field (baseball) and Becker Field (softball); and Emmitt Field and Graham Field at Holmes Stadium, the new portion of the West Fields project that includes covered grandstand seats, ticket and concession areas, team rooms, a training room and a press box area for soccer, field hockey and women’s lacrosse.

Bucknell is a unique national university where liberal arts and professional pro-grams complement each other, where 3,350 full-time students are educated for a lifetime of critical thinking and strong leadership. For 160 years, the University has remained true to its fundamental purpose: to educate and prepare students for lives that make a difference and have a positive impact on the world.

In keeping with that purpose, the University has developed The Plan for Buck-nell, which includes its collective vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education.” Students helped shape this vision because of their confidence in the University.

The Plan comprises five strategies:Strengthen the Academic Core aims to ensure that a Bucknell education is

challenging and engaging, with openness to new ideas and a culture of innova-tion;

Deepen the Residential Learning Experience will provide a residential learn-ing and living experience that complements the academic program, integrates the athletics and recreation program and promotes personal growth and development and civic and ethical responsibility;

Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and supportive environment of open exchange to prepare Bucknell graduates to live and work in a globally integrated and intercultural world;

Build Bridges will bring the world to Bucknell — through visiting scholars and sports teams, international students and alumni, guest speakers, international focus semesters, and electronic communications — and bring Bucknell to the world through strategic partnerships and community engagement activities as well as opportunities for off-campus study and faculty research;

Secure Our Financial Future will secure resources necessary to engage new opportunities, lessen dependence on tuition, and ensure our financial future.

The Plan for Bucknell was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees on April 29, 2006, having previously been approved by the students and faculty. We have begun implementing it and are determined to make it a reality over the next decade. To read the complete version of The Plan for Bucknell or to request a published version, see http://www.bucknell.edu/ThePlanforBucknell

According to a Bucknell Career Development Center survey of the Class of 2008, 93 per-cent of the respondents were either employed or attending graduate school six months after graduation. Of Bucknell’s 897 graduates in that class, 868 (97 percent) responded to the survey. Of that portion of the class, 62 percent were employed, 21 percent were enrolled in graduate school, three percent were both employed and in graduate school, and seven percent were still seeking employment.

Of those attending graduate school, 22 percent are pursuing degrees in social sciences and the humanities, 16 percent are in medical school, 16 percent are studying science, 12 percent are in law school and 12 percent are pursuing advanced degrees in engineering.

The mean salary for the 2008 graduates responding to the survey was $47,865 and was highest for engineers. The mean salary for a graduate with a bachelor of science degree in engineering was $55,157, and the mean salary for a graduate with a bachelor of science degree in business administration was $53,945. Graduates from the College of Arts and Sciences had a mean salary of $41,506.

Most 2008 graduates (79 percent) were employed in the Northeast, with Pennsylvania (26 percent), New Jersey (16 percent) and New York City (15 percent) leading the way. Among the most popular employers of Bucknell graduates were firms such as Accenture, AmeriCorps, Deloitte, Ernst & Young, General Electric, JP Morgan Chase, KPMG, Northrop Grumman, Peace Corps, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Turner Construction and Whiting-Turner Contracting, Co.

THE AbC’S OF THE RECRUITING PROCESS

bUCKNELL DEPARTMENT OF ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT

The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, develop-ment, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relation-ships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the high-est extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Associa-tion (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracur-ricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.
