HARTFORD MEN’S GOLF – 14 NCAA APPEARANCES
1
HEAD COACH
Pete
Stankevich
Former University of Hartford golfer Pete Stankevich enters his first season as head
coach at his alma mater. He was named to the position in June, the first head coaching job of his career.
Stankevich, a Class A PGA member for 15 years and golf professional for 19 years,
becomes the eighth head coach in the school’s history. He inherits a program rich in
tradition; the Hawks have made 14 NCAA appearances and produced six All-Americans
and three PGA Tour professionals.
A graduate of Hartford in 1989, Stankevich was a member of the 1987-88 men’s
golf team that won 10 tournaments—including NEIGA and New England Championships—
and qualified for the NCAA Championship. During that season he was a teammate of
Jerry Kelly, Tim Petrovic and Patrick Sheehan, all of whom went on to careers on the
PGA Tour.
“It’s especially gratifying when you can hire ‘one of your own’,” said Director of
Athletics Patricia Meiser at the time of the hiring. “Pete Stankevich was an important
part of one of the great men’s golf teams in the University’s history. Jerry Kelly, Tim
Petrovic and Patrick Sheehan have gone on to demonstrate the talent level of that era
at the professional level, and Pete has remained active in the golfing world in several
facets. He brings enormous talent and experience to the table.”
Stankevich has spent the past 11 years as a teaching professional. As the PGA
Director of Instruction at Golf Quest Family Sports Center in Brookfield, CT, he helped
to develop Golf Quest Academy into the state’s premier instruction program. The facility
has been consistently ranked in the top 100 in the United States and was voted best
practice facility in Connecticut.
Stankevich has also served as head or assistant golf professional at several
golf courses in the state of Connecticut, including Elmridge Golf Course (Pawcatuck),
Glastonbury Hills (South Glastonbury) and Clinton Country Club (Clinton).
Over the last nine years, Stankevich has also used his talents in independent
golf course design work. He got his start under renowned British golf course architect
Roy Case in 1996 as an associate at Case Golf Company in Lake Worth, FL.
Stankevich earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1989. He
returned to Hartford to complete his master’s degree in economics in 1995.

Head Coach
First Season
Hartford ’89
2008-09 SEASON OUTLOOK
The University of Hartford is celebrating its 25th season of Division I
competition in 2008-09. The men’s golf program has made quite a
splash since the school moved to the DI level in 1984-85, making 14
NCAA Tournament appearances while winning a dozen conference
championships. The Hawks have also seen four of their six All-Americans
come in the DI era.
As a Hartford graduate and former member of the men’s golf team,
first-year head coach Pete Stankevich is familiar with the program’s
history. He was a teammate of future PGA pros Jerry Kelly, Tim Petrovic
and Patrick Sheehan on the 1987-88 squad that won 10 tournaments—
including NEIGA and New England Championships—and qualified for the
NCAA Championship.
Stankevich takes over a deep and talented roster of players who
seek to keep the Hawks at the forefront of college golf. Senior captain
Kyle Parsons (Wethersfield, CT) will lead the way in his final season. Juniors Maki Kobayashi (Newington, CT), Nick MacDonald (Lebanon, NH),
Nick Pokora (Agawam, MA) and Zack Ungvarsky (Wilmington, MA) bring
experience to the group, and sophomore Brian Albertazzi (Killington, VT)
will look to improve even more after a solid rookie season. Stankevich
also adds two newcomers to the fold for 2008-09 in freshmen Jesse
DiBiasio (Warwick, RI) and Matt Smith (Thompson, CT).
Parsons will look to end his career on a high note. Last season he
ranked sixth on the team in scoring average (77.06) but worked hard on
his game over the summer. After starting the fall season slowly, he picked
things up before the winter break and will look to carry that momentum
into the spring.
As a whole, the junior class was extremely consistent during the fall.
All four players recorded scoring averages between 75 and 78, but rarely
did anyone run away from the pack. The focus for Kobayashi, MacDonald,
Pokora and Ungvarsky in the spring will be stringing two or three good
rounds together. If two or three players out of the group can achieve that
goal, the Hawks should reap the benefits on the team leader board.
Albertazzi enjoyed a breakout fall in which he played in four tournaments and led the team in scoring average (74.72). He notched top-10
finishes at the Hawks Invitational and the Columbia Invitational and was
the individual medalist at the 2008 America Sky Championship. Continued
strong play from Albertazzi throughout the spring would help ensure a
solid finish to the year for the Hawks.
DiBiasio and Smith each saw limited action in the fall. DiBiasio came
to Hartford following a four-year career at Toll Gate High School. Smith,
a product of Tourtellotte Memorial High School, joins the Hawks after a
successful prep and junior career. With a roster loaded with upperclassmen, the duo will look to compete for playing time in the spring.
Hartford’s season will conclude with five more tournaments in the
months of March and April. The Hawks, whose best finish during the fall
came as runner-up at the America Sky Championship, are still looking to
add a tournament title to their resume. Hartford has won tournaments in
each of the past two years and will look to keep the streak going in the
spring.
The remainder of the schedule will have the Hawks traveling all
over the country. Hartford, which played at the Olympic Club Invitational
(San Francisco, CA) and the Brickyard Collegiate (Macon, GA) during the
fall, will open the spring at the Triumph at Pauma Valley (San Diego, CA).
The Hawks will also play in the Mobile Bay Invitational (Mobile, AL), the
Yale Spring Opener (New Haven, CT) and the River Landing Intercollegiate
(Wallace, NC) before wrapping up the season at the URI Northeast Collegiate Invitational (Middletown, RI).

2007-08 SEASON REVIEW
The University of Hartford men’s golf team enjoyed quite a season
in 2007-08. The Hawks broke numerous school records–both team
and individual–and finished in the top five in half of their tournaments, including a win at the Sea Scape Collegiate Invitational in
the fall. Hartford also made its debut in the newly-formed America
Sky Men’s Golf Conference.
The Hawks finished the year with the lowest stroke average
(297.64) in school history. The team also broke records for lowest
54-hole total (815), lowest 36-hole total (569) and lowest round
(270). In fact, Hartford’s three rounds at the Agua-Caliente Air Force
Academy Collegiate Invitational (272-270-273) were all lower than
the previous school record of 276 which had stood for 20 years.
Hartford’s victory at the Sea Scape Collegiate Invitational came
after a furious rally over the final holes. The Hawks, who started
the day a shot behind Wofford College, found themselves trailing
Campbell University by four shots entering the final three holes.
Hartford played the final three holes in seven-under par as a team,
finishing with a two-day total of 569 and a three-shot victory over
Campbell. The 569 total was a school record for a 36-hole event.
A.J. Oleksak enjoyed one of the best seasons in school history,
which culminated with him being named America Sky Player of
the Year. His season stroke average (73.32) broke Pat Sheehan’s
17-year-old school record, and he also broke the school record for
lowest 54-hole total (201). Oleksak notched four top-10 finishes,
which included a runner-up effort at the Sea Scape in which his
36-hole total (138) tied for the second-best ever in school history.
He ended his career by being named a Cleveland Golf All-America
Scholar for the second consecutive year. He finished ranked fourth
all-time at Hartford in career stroke average (75.72).
Nick MacDonald came within one shot of tying the school record for low round with a 65 at the Auga-Caliente. It marked the first
time in 17 years that a Hartford player had shot a round that low.
MacDonald’s scoring average (74.76) also ranked as 10th-lowest
in school history for a single season.
Oleksak and MacDonald were each named to the America Sky
All-Conference Team. Hartford was also the only school in the region
to have three players–Oleksak, MacDonald and Maki Kobayashi–
named to the PING New England Division I All-Region Team.

HARTFORD ADMINISTRATION
WALTER
PATRICIA H.
University of Hartford
President
Director of Athletics &
Special Assistant
to the President
HARRISON
Growth, vitality, and service to the community are key attributes of Walter Harrison’s first 10
years as president of the University of Hartford. Since his appointment as the University of
Hartford’s fifth president in 1998, the University has experienced a period of energy and momentum unmatched in its history. President Harrison has overseen dramatic improvements
in academic quality, finances, and fundraising.
More than 7,300 students (5,600 undergraduates and 1,700 graduate students)
study at the seven schools and colleges of the University of Hartford, which is classified as a
doctoral research–intensive university by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of
Teaching. The institution has seen a 15 percent increase in undergraduate enrollment, and
a 23 percent increase in degrees awarded, over the past decade. A highly visible figure on
campus, President Harrison is known for his enthusiasm for student life and University activities, and is fondly referred to as Walt by many students.
During President Harrison’s tenure, the University has undertaken a vigorous and comprehensive building campaign. Many of the University’s residence halls have been renovated,
and Hawk Hall, the University’s new five-story, 208-bed residence for first-year students, was
completed during the summer of 2007. The oval-shaped Alumni Plaza, constructed out of
concrete of various colors and finishes, now provides students with a large gathering spot on
the residential side of campus.
At the heart of this construction campaign are three major additions to the University’s
signature academic programs: The Renée Samuels Center of the Hartford Art School (opened
in January 2007), the Integrated Science, Engineering, and Technology Complex (opened in
2005), and the Mort and Irma Handel Performing Arts Center (opened in September 2008),
which houses the Dance and Theatre divisions of The Hartt School. The Handel Center, located in the Upper Albany and Blue Hills neighborhoods of Hartford, one mile east of the
University’s campus, also contains space for community activities.
Two buildings have been renovated to house two of the University’s leading liberal
arts programs: Psychology (East Hall) and Communications and Cinema Studies (Abrahms
Hall). In 2006, the University opened new state-of-the-art athletic fields for soccer, lacrosse,
softball, and baseball.
The University’s vibrant relationship with the Greater Hartford community is a hallmark
of President Harrison’s tenure. The University has become a recognized leader in helping to
improve public schools. It is the only private university in the country with two public magnet
schools on campus—the University of Hartford Magnet School and the University High School
of Science and Engineering.
President Harrison’s community involvement is extensive. He serves on the boards of
directors of the Connecticut Conference of Independent Colleges and the Hartford Consortium of Higher Education. He is currently the president of the board of the Hartford Stage
Company. He serves as trustee or director of a number of other Hartford-area organizations,
including the Greater Hartford Arts Council, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center, the
Connecticut Science Center, and Suffield Academy. He is also a director of WorldBusiness
Capital, an international finance firm based in Hartford.
Reflecting his longtime interest in intercollegiate athletics, President Harrison chairs
the National Collegiate Athletic Association’s Committee on Academic Performance, the
group charged with implementing academic reforms among the nation’s leading intercollegiate athletic programs, and serves on a number of other NCAA committees. He is the
immediate past chair of the NCAA Executive Committee. He also serves on the Presidential
Advisory Committee of the Association of Governing Boards.
All this is a long way from President Harrison’s beginnings as a scholar of American
literature and culture. A native of Pittsburgh, he graduated from Trinity College in Hartford
in 1968, then earned a master’s degree from the University of Michigan in 1969. After an
interim of three years to serve as a captain in the United States Air Force, President Harrison
earned a doctorate from the University of California–Davis. His doctoral dissertation, “Out
of Play: Baseball Fiction from Pulp to Art,” was one of the earliest scholarly treatments of
baseball and its place in American life.
In 1982 President Harrison left full-time teaching to take an administrative position
at Colorado College. He joined Gehrung Associates University Relations Counselors in 1985,
becoming president of the firm shortly thereafter. In 1989 President Harrison moved to the
University of Michigan, where he became vice president of university relations and secretary
of the university.
President Harrison and his wife, Dianne, a scholar of 19th-century Victorian literature
and mystery literature, make their home in Russell House, the president’s residence at the
University of Hartford.
MEISER
Pat Meiser, in her 16th year at the University of Hartford, serves as the director of athletics
and special assistant to the president.
One of only 22 women director of athletics among the 329 institutions competing at the
Division I level, Meiser has 37 years of experience in coaching and athletics administration.
In May of 1999, she was named one of the nation’s top 50 women’s sports executives by
Street & Smith’s Sports Business Journal, and in June of 2006 she was named the Northeast
Region I-AAA GeneralSports TURF Systems Athletics Director of the Year.
At Hartford, Meiser heads a team that is responsible for growing the athletics and academic quality of the program, enhancing revenue and extending the program into the community.
In Meiser’s tenure, seven sports (women’s basketball, men’s soccer, women’s soccer,
men’s golf, women’s golf, men’s tennis and women’s volleyball) have won America East Conference championships and either reached NCAA Division I tournament or national postseason play. Basketball, in particular, has emerged with Meiser’s hiring of Jennifer Rizzotti and
Dan Leibovitz. The women’s basketball team has been crowned America East Conference
champion and reached the NCAA Tournament in 2002, 2005, 2006 and 2008. The men’s
team set a school record with 18 wins in 2007-08 and advanced to the America East Championship finals for the first time in school history.
Revenue enhancement has also been an area of growth for Hartford under Meiser’s
leadership. This has taken place through an expanded fund raising and alumni relations
effort, development of a corporate sponsorship program, implementation of a licensing program and successful grant submissios. Most significantly, Hartford athletics embarked on
a $10 million athletics capital campaign in April of 2003. The campaign, called Home Field
Advantage, funded the renovation of the existing soccer and lacrosse field, the relocation and
construction of a softball field, the construction of a baseball field and will include construction of a track surrounding an all-purpose field. The ground breaking for Home Field Advantage took place in April of 2005, and Phase I of the project was completed in 2007. Phase II
is presently under way.
Meiser’s commitment to academics is well documented and demonstrated through
the success of her student-athletes. Hartford has been among the leaders in The America’s East’s Academic Cup standings each of the past 10 years. The Hawks won the Cup in
1996-97. This past academic year, the average student-athlete GPA was 2.98.
Reaching out in the community is important for Meiser. She is past chair of the Greater
Hartford Convention and Visitors Bureau and her appointment came at a critical time as the
city opened a $350 million convention center. Meiser was named a Connecticut “Woman of
Merit” by the Girl Scouts in June 2000. She is a board member of both the Connecticut Special Olympics and the Connecticut Women’s Hall of Fame. In October of 2007, Meiser served
as Co-Chair of the CWHF Gala that celebrated the 35th anniversary of Title IX. The evening
brought together the top female Olympians and national champions with ties to the state of
Connecticut.
Meiser has also been involved with various intercollegiate committees and organizations at the conference, regional and national levels. She serves on the Executive Committee of NACDA and is a past President of the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association
(NACDA), has been a professional sport liaison, member of the soccer rules committee and
active as a NCAA Certification representative. Over the years, she has also served a variety
of roles in the America East Conference and is presently a member of the Executive Committee.
Prior to joining the Hawks, Meiser was the associate athletics director for administration and senior women’s administrator at the University of Connecticut. During her 10 years
at Connecticut, she played a pivotal role in the rejuvenation of the athletics program.
Before arriving at Connecticut, Meiser was the head women’s basketball coach and
a tenured faculty member at Penn State (1971-81). She gave the first women’s basketball
scholarship at Penn State in 1974 and advanced the program to Top-20 status in the late
1970s. In addition, she coached the Gold Medal-winning East team in the inaugural 1979
National Sports Festival.
Meiser holds a bachelor’s degree in health and physical education (1969) from West
Chester University and a M.Ed. in education (1971) and an MBA in business administration
(1986) from Penn State. She is a native of Lancaster, PA, and has four children: Katherine,
36, wife of Jason Steadman of London; Christopher, 34, husband of Renee Jansen, of Boston; Julie, 32, wife of Robert Rioux of State College, PA; and Daniel, 30, of West Hartford. She
also has one grandson, Lincoln.

UNIVERSITY OF HARTFORD
SMALL CLASSES, BIG OPPORTUNITY
At the University of Hartford, classes are small, but the list of academic offerings
is not. The University is a comprehensive, independent institution, offering educational and career programs in 89 undergraduate and 33 graduate areas of study
in its seven schools and colleges. It prides itself on providing the intimacy of a
liberal arts college with the creativity and intellectual excitement of a university.
While the range of studies offered at the University is diverse, so, too, are
the people. Enrolled are 4,842 full-time undergraduates, 853 part-time undergraduates, and 1,671 graduate students, representing 45 states and 49 countries. The full-time student-to-faculty ratio is 14:1.
TRADITION
The University of Hartford dates back to 1877, when the first of its original three
schools was founded. The Hartford Art School (1877), Hillyer College (1879), and
The Hartt School (1920) joined in 1957 to form the University of Hartford.
The origins of the University can be traced back to the wife of Mark Twain.
Mrs. Samuel Clemens, along with Harriett Beecher Stowe of Uncle Tom’s Cabin
fame, formed an art society that later became the Hartford Art School.
EXPANSION
The University has undertaken several ambitious building projects over the past
half decade. A $34-million Integrated Science, Engineering, and Technology complex, which included major renovations to the adjacent Dana Hall (one of the
original buildings on campus), opened in 2005. On its heels, new turf athletics
fields brought a much different look to the opposite end of campus, benefitting
students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community residents.
The new Renée Samuels Center opened in January 2007, providing the Hartford Art School with new space for its photography and media arts programs.
In fall 2007, Hawk Hall, a five-story residential facility for first-year students
and its adjacent Alumni Plaza, a new outdoor gathering place for students, greeted students returning to campus.
Now open just a mile from the University’s main campus, the Mort and Irma
Handel Performing Arts Center houses five dance studios, four theatre rehearsal
studios and two black box theatres. It is a vibrant center for dance and theatre
instruction and performances at one of the key gateways to the city of Hartford.
The University of Hartford also houses two public magnet schools on its
campus—an elementary school for students from Hartford and several neighboring towns and University High School of Science and Engineering, which saw its
legacy class graduate this past June.
QUALITY
The University prides itself on its growing academic reputation, best illustrated
by a consistent year-to-year increase in applications (more than 12,000 received
annually) and selectivity (the University’s acceptance rate is lower than at any
time in its history). The educational experience takes place in small, supportive
classroom environments.
20
LOCATION
The charm of the suburbs and the opportunities of the city all come alive at the
University of Hartford. Situated on a 340-acre, wooded, suburban campus, the
University borders Hartford, West Hartford, and Bloomfield. Midway between Boston and New York City, downtown Hartford, only five miles away, is gaining a name
for itself.
HARTFORD AND THE REGION
Dubbed “New England’s rising star,” Hartford is enjoying a renaissance fueled by
the development of its riverfront. With retail and residential development taking
off, downtown Hartford is poised to become a 24-hour hub of culture, arts, and
entertainment.
Within Hartford’s borders, one can tour the home of Mark Twain, mingle
with 5,000-plus years of art at the Wadsworth Atheneum, and explore history at
the oldest state house in the country. The Bushnell and Hartford Stage Company
offer traveling Broadway shows and other award-winning productions.
The XL Center and New England Dodge Music Center offer top-name concerts while the former is home to the American Hockey League’s Hartford Wolfpack.
The surrounding Connecticut countryside offers unlimited and varied getaway possibilities, including skiing, spring garden tours, fall festivals, and two of
the world’s largest casino and entertainment complexes.
It’s no wonder noted economist Richard Florida has ranked Hartford in the
“Top 20” of cool places to live, work, start a family and have fun.
CAMPUS ACTIVITIES
Numerous social, recreational, and entertainment alternatives exist for students
on campus. More than 100 groups, clubs, and organizations, including campus
media, student government, fraternities and sororities add to student life. The
Campus Activities Team (CAT) is a student-run organization whose sole purpose
is to schedule events for student enjoyment.
The University of Hartford has gained a national reputation for the quality of
cultural activities and fine-arts exhibits on its campus. The Hartt School and the
Joseloff Gallery of the Hartford Art School are highly respected. Lincoln Theater,
the Sports Center, and three auditoriums host numerous special events throughout the year.
STUDENT LIVING
The University of Hartford offers five different housing options, all with the security and tranquility of a suburban campus. Students begin in traditional residence
halls as freshmen, but may opt for three different types of apartment-style living
during their upperclass years.
Food options are plentiful on campus, with two traditional dining facilities,
a sit-down restaurant, nighttime eatery, deli, premium coffee outlet, juice and
smoothie bar, and the Village Market, the University’s own on-campus grocery
store.
