In addition, each of the par 3 holes has offered automobile prizes such as BMW, Mercedes, Jeep, Cadillac, and a Ford Explorer as a hole in one prize. The sponsor, who reserves the option of obtaining hole-in-one insurance, usually donates these prize offerings. The day includes breakfast, lunch and a President's Buffet Reception, door prizes, tournament prizes for men and
women, and an excellent opportunity to network yourself and/or your business. For more information on the Golf Tournament, either to participate as a golfer or sponsor, contact the Office of Institutional Advancement at 845-398-4020.

ATHLETICS

ST. THOMAS' FITZPATRICK NAMED TO NCAA DII PRESIDENT'S COUNCIL
(Spring 2003) - Dr. Margaret M. Fitzpatrick, S.C., president of St. Thomas Aquinas College, was appointed to serve as a Region 1 representative on the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division II Presidents Council, announced Kay Schallenkamp, President of Emporia State University, and chair of the 14 member council which represents the 300 NCAA DII colleges and universities and more than 75,000 student athletes.

"I am very happy to be selected to represent our region. This appointment speaks volumes about the NCAA's respect for our institution. I am happy to represent our student athletes, but I am equally happy for the vote of confidence in our institution by the NCAA's Presidents Council," said Dr. Fitzpatrick.

75,000 student athletes compete at 300 colleges and universities in the NCAA Division II. Only 14 presidents are members of the Presidents Council and Dr. Fitzpatrick's appointment to this policy-setting board is unprecedented at the 51 year-old institution, since it just recently became an active member of the NCAA.

The NCAA D II has two governing groups: the policy-setting Presidents Council and the Management Council. The Presidents Council oversees the Management Council, which consists of 25 athletics administrators and faculty representatives. Below these two bodies is a committee structure that focuses on issues relating specifically to Division II. Legislation in Division II is considered and approved through a traditional one-school, one-vote process at an annual Convention. In this way, Division II institutions make their own rules, independent of the other two divisions.

St. Thomas Aquinas College was twice named the recipient of a USA Today/NCAA Foundation Division II Academic Achievement Award, one in 2001 and the second in 2002. Both awards were keyed to academic achievement by student athletes at the College.

The College earned one of the $25,000 Awards for having the highest student-athlete graduation rate above the student body graduation rate in the NCAA Division II, according to the National Collegiate Athletic Association, which compiles information on its member institutions.

The College has demonstrated a commitment to excellence across the board and expanding its participation in intercollegiate athletics has been a factor in its growth. In 1997, prior to entry into the NCAA, St. Thomas fielded 9 sports and 125 student athletes. It now fields 14 sports, is an active member of the NCAA, and supports 200 student athletes. The teams compete in more than 300 contests annually and the athletic department is researching additional sports for expansion.

Currently, the Spartans and Lady Spartans compete in men's and women's basketball, men's baseball, men's and women's soccer, women's volleyball, men's and women's cross country, men's golf (women compete individually), women's softball, men's and women's tennis and men's and women's track & field.

COMMUNITY EVENTS

SPEAKERS OFFER VARIETY
(Spring 2003) - Dr. Neerja Chaturvedi, an Assistant Professor of History at St. Thomas Aquinas College, can speak to the issue of East-West Global Relations and is one of 21 speakers available to the community as part of the College's Speakers Bureau, announced Dr. L. John Durney, Senior Vice President at the College and organizer of the Speakers Bureau. "We formalized what we have been doing for several years and that is offering a service to civic, school groups, PTAs, rotary clubs and other charitable organizations in the region who are seeking a speaker for a monthly meeting or annual event," Dr. Durney said. For more information on the STAC Speakers Bureau, contact Dr. Durney at 845-398-4020 or email him at ldurney@stac.edu.

FEATURE STORY
DONATIONS FROM THE HEART GET FACULTY A TECHNOLOGY UPGRADE
By Amanda Scarpone and Vin Crapanzano

(Spring 2003) – Sunny Anthwal, Baljit Patter, and Siyong Yu, three members of the College’s Information Technology Team, made an offer the College could not refuse. Together they custom built two state-of-the-art Pentium IV computers for the faculty resource room at the College.

“We wanted to give back to the school,” said Siyong Yu, a Network and Systems Administrator who initiated the idea of creating their own computer and donating it to the faculty.

“We knew that we could improve upon the computers currently used, based on our knowledge of the specific needs of the faculty that used them. We simply wanted to collectively give back to the institution and the people that have been so good to each of us,” said Patter, a Network Web Specialist.

The three men, Patter is single, Anthwal is married, and Yu is married with two children, donated the time and the funds to make the newest edition happen.

“They did this on their own time, with their own money, and I shouldn’t have been, since I know their character, but I was shocked and overwhelmed by their generosity,” said Anne Donini, the Vice President who oversees the IT team.

Adding intrigue to the story line is these three men hail from regions thousands of miles from Sparkill. Anthwal, a Network Manager, was born and raised in India. Patter was born and raised in England and Yu was born and raised in Korea.

Anthwal and Yu both attended the Chubb Institute (NJ). Patter studied at Langley College (England), and Rutgers University. Prior to joining the College’s IT team, Anthwal was an owner of a computer business, Yu ran a family clothing store in New York City’s garment district, and Patter worked in promotions for different Manhattan nightclubs.

“We owe a lot to STAC, we’ve learned a lot here,” Anthwal said. “It is very important to give back to the college community. This way both the faculty and students can benefit.”
