BENTLEY UNIVERSITY THIS IS BENTLEY

Bentley University is one of the nation’s leading business schools, dedicated to preparing a new kind of business leader — one with the deep technical skills, the broad global perspective and the high ethical standards required to make a difference in an ever-changing world. To achieve our goal, we infuse our advanced business curriculum with the richness of a liberal arts education. The results are graduates who are making an impact in their chosen fields and turning their passions into success stories.

Located on a classic New England campus just minutes from Boston, Bentley is a dynamic community of leaders, scholars and creative thinkers.

Today, the challenges of a rapidly changing world have made business skills and experiences hot commodities. More students are considering business as the foundation of their higher education experience, and considering Bentley in the process. With our unique blend of business, technology and the liberal arts, Bentley provides students with relevant, practical and transferable skills.

At Bentley, we blend the breadth and technological strength of a large university with the values and student focus of a small college. Students interested in business professions choose from a wide range of programs that address all functional areas including accountancy, finance, marketing, management and liberal arts — all with a strong foundation in technology.

Bentley students interact with a faculty of experienced teachers with real-world research and consulting experience, and enjoy a vibrant campus teeming with athletic, social and cultural opportunities.

They can choose majors, minors and courses that fully explore the impact of information technology including e-marketing, cyber psychology, journalism for the World Wide Web, web design, IT and public relations, IT auditing, cyberlaw, and information economics.

At the McCallum Graduate School, a broad array of offerings, including PhDs in Business and Accountancy, MBA, Master of Science and certificate programs, emphasize the impact of technology on business practice. Our faculty continues to develop the next wave of curricula, emphasizing IT-enabled business processes and careers in knowledgebased professional services.

Academic Programs Bentley offers a remarkable array of specialized business courses, from the Business Core curriculum to elective courses for majors and minors.

This depth of offerings, combined with our emphasis on information technology and hands-on experience in state-of-the-art learning labs, prepares students to succeed in a fast-paced, complex world.

The arts and sciences join business as an integral component of a Bentley education. In fact, half of the undergraduate courses are in arts and sciences disciplines – called the General Education Core.These courses expand a student’s frame of reference and build skills in critical thinking, decision-making, communication and other areas essential for well-rounded professionals.

Whether in business or the arts and sciences, academic programs at Bentley emphasize both theory and practice.

Students gain a firm grasp of the historical, societal and other forces that shape a discipline such as management or international studies. Meanwhile, course projects, internships, and service-learning assignments enable students to test business principles and concepts in corporate and nonprofit settings. Bentley professors link theory and practice not only in teaching but in their own research. The topics they investigate are rooted in the complex challenges that leading companies face every day.

While the curriculum offers a breadth and depth usually found only at larger universities, the experience at Bentley is student centered. We are a teaching-focused university that offers a personal experience, with small classes and an excellent faculty-student ratio of 1 to 12.

There are no lecture halls at Bentley. All of our courses are taught by professors – not graduate assistants – who put a premium on first-rate teaching, research and advising.

BENTLEY UNIVERSITY

THE ATHLETIC ADMINISTRATION Bob DeFelice

Athletics Director The only baseball coach Bentley University has ever known, Bob DeFelice became just the second athletics director in the university’s history when he was promoted in October 1991.

DeFelice’s affiliation with the college dates back to 1968 when he was hired as Bentley’s first varsity baseball coach. After coaching the team on a part-time basis from its inception in 1969 to 1987, he was named Assistant Athletics Director for Programs in August 1987. Two years later, he was promoted to Associate Athletics Director.

Bentley athletic teams and athletic facilities have all prospered under his direction. Since he became AD, Falcon athletic teams have captured nearly 90 conference championships (regular season and playoff) and made NCAA appearances in eight team sports (football, women’s basketball, men’s basketball, field hockey, volleyball, golf, men’s tennis, women’s tennis and men’s cross country). In 2001, the field hockey team captured the first NCAA championship in the university’s history.

Under his leadership, Bentley has captured the Northeast-10 Presidents Cup eight times, emblematic of the best overall athletic program in the conference. The most recent came for the 2008-09 academic year.

Over the last nine years, under DeFelice’s watch, the college has expanded its athletic facilities with the addition of a soccer field, outdoor track, six tennis courts and perhaps the finest college baseball facility in New England, which was named in honor of DeFelice. He also oversaw the recent major renovation of the Dana Center, including the construction of a new fitness center, food court and boosters suite.

DeFelice, the longest tenured active Division II baseball coach in the nation (2010 will be his 42nd season), has led his team to an average of 20 wins a season the last decade and has 619 wins during his career.

In 2001, the Falcons set an NCAA Division II record and led all of college baseball by hitting 2.39 home runs a game, knocking an incredible 98 balls out of the park in 41 games.

DeFelice, a 1963 graduate of Boston College with a Bachelor of Science degree in history, began his coaching career that same year as head football coach and assistant basketball coach at Christopher Columbus High School, a position he held for three years. In 1965, he began a three-year playing career in the Boston Red Sox minor league organization. In 1967, he was a player-coach with the Pittsfield Red Sox. Before joining the Bentley athletic department staff on a fulltime basis in 1987, DeFelice spent 17 years (1970-86) as head football coach at his alma mater,Winthrop High School. During that time, he led the Vikings to a 101-65-2 record, with four Northeast Conference championships, a 33-game winning streak in the early 80’s and two Eastern Massachusetts Division II Super Bowl titles.

Amazingly, DeFelice has been inducted into seven Halls of Fame.

He was honored by Boston College in 1986, Bentley in October 1999, and was a charter member of the Winthrop High Hall of Fame in 1997.

In November 2002, he was one of four inductees into the Massachusetts Chapter of the National Italian American Sports Hall of Fame.

DeFelice has also been inducted into the Massachusetts High School Football Coaches, the Boston Park League and the Union Printers International Baseball League halls of fame.

DeFelice helped establish the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference and was a founder of the Eastern Football Conference.

He served as the EFC commissioner from 1997-2000, when it was absorbed by the Northeast-10 Conference.

Among the many honors he has received are the Murray Lewis Award from the Eastern Association of Intercollegiate Football Officials and the Whitey Allard and Marty McDonough Memorial Sportsmanship

10

Award from the College Baseball Umpires Association of New England.

In May 2004, he received the Jack Butterfield Award from the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association for his contributions to college baseball.

DeFelice and his wife, Patricia, have four children and seven grandchildren.

More recently, her duties included facility and intercollegiate scheduling, and monitoring financial aid. After a realignment of the athletic department in 2000, Hoffman is now responsible for the fiscal affairs of the Bentley athletic program, as well as financial aid.

Prior to being named an assistant athletic director 19 years ago, Hoffman served as Recreation Director and the athletic department’s Coordinator of Academic Support Services. She is a 1980 graduate of Springfield College and earned an MBA degree in Management from Bentley in 1990.

During her tenure, Scott’s teams won 388 games, captured three conference championships (1986, 1987, 1990) and appeared in four NCAA tournaments, most recently in 1992. In 1987, she directed her team to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen. There were eight 20-win seasons and fours others in which the Salukis missed the 20-win plateau by just one game.

Scott, a 1994 inductee into the Southern Illinois University Hall of Fame, served as President of the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association during the 1993-94 academic year, ironically preceding Bentley’s Barbara Stevens in the role.

In her first year, King led Bentley to a 17-6 record (including a 16-game winning streak prior to the NCAA tournament), the Northeast-10 playoff championship and a berth in the NCAA Diviasion II national semifinals.

“Jessica’s time here as a player and her experience in developing the Lasell program from scratch made her an outstanding selection to continue the success of such a prestigious program,” said Bentley athletics director Bob DeFelice upon her hiring. Bentley has been in the NCAA tournament nine times since 1999, has reached the Division II national championship game six times over that span, and was the NCAA national champion in 2001.

2001 NCAA DIVISION II CHAMPIONS Third Time is a Charm for Bentley Falcons

By Ted Kottler, Daily News Tribune Reprinted with Permission WALTHAM - They admit that three nights ago they were afraid to lose, though they certainly came to play.

Yesterday they did themselves one better: they came to win.

The Bentley field hockey team captured the first national championship in any sport in the college’s history, ousting East Stroudsburg 4-2 in the NCAA Division II final yesterday.

Two days after surviving a scare from St. Michael’s in their 1-0 semifinal win, the Falcons were just plain scary on their home turf, where they have won 61 of 62 games since 1997.

Everyone contributed to the triumph, from the team’s lone seniors, co-captains Alicia Cabrera and Allyson Bunce, to the youngsters, including sophomore backup forward Liz McKenna (goal, assist), who had her first goal in 10 games to help Bentley (22-1) conclude the season on an eight-game winning streak.

Kerry Kopec (20) and Jenny Cahill react after the final whistle.

“That’s why we’re tough to beat, because they can’t just mark up one or two kids,” said Bentley coach Kelly McGowan, whose team had fallen in the last two national finals.

“We have so many kids on this team that are just great, skilled players. They definitely makes things happen. We’re not a team that sits back and waits for things to happen, we make things happen.All around, everyone played a great game today. Everyone was on today. We were ready.”

Junior forward Kristyn Bates (goal, assist) opened the scoring with 26:14 to play in the first half, en route to a third-straight spot on the All-Tournament team, a claim no other player in America can make.

Bunce and junior midfielder Carolyn Bolster weaved the ball back and forth on the right-hand side before Bolster picked out Bates on the left.

“I get up for these games. I don’t know what it is,” said Bates. “The feeling of playing in such a game and the intensity, just the whole mind-set for the whole entire game just fires me up pretty much.

I play on that.”

McKenna tipped a rolling ball from sophomore Lauren Galenski (goal, assist) high over goalkeeper Kelly Wagner with 13:02 left in the first half to make it 2-0. McKenna’s centering pass set up the final Bentley goal by Cabrera with 13:49 to play, a blast that made it 4-1. Yet McKenna never expected to factor so heavily into the national final.

“No, I was hoping though,” she said. “Lauren had an awesome hit in, it was strong and it went through everyone. And then I just happened to be there. My stick was there and it deflected off.”

Bates made a crisp pass through the middle for Galenski, who beat Wagner with the first shot of the second half to make it 3-0 with 28:54 on the clock.

“We knew we had to score in the very beginning of the second half, because we just thought they would not be as motivated,” said Galenski.

East Stroudsburg replied with a goal at 27:40 by Kate Dideon and actually had the best scoring chance while playing a man down for five minutes, beginning at 23:19, when Meghan Furnia was issued a yellow card for jabbing Bates with her stick.

Then Cabrera’s goal, sparked by a nice pass from the back to Galenski by freshman Kerry Ann Kopec, put it out of reach. Sara Gorman cut it to 4-2 with 2:46 to play, but Bentley, buoyed by a festive crowd of 603 (many more crowded the field’s perimeter), wasn’t about to fold.

“Just having it here, hosting it, helped us a lot and motivated us to win the whole thing,” said sophomore goaltender Liz Novis (4 saves).

“This is all I wanted for however many years I’ve been playing,” added Bunce, a Dennis-Yarmouth graduate. “I just wanted to win. In high school, every single year, we came in second place, and now, two years in a row (Bentley finished second). We knew the third time we had to come out and play our best and we did it.”

It went a long way toward erasing the painful memories of the 1999 and 2000 finals.

“It’s almost like I’m glad we waited to win at home, it’s more sweet,” said McGowan. “We had all the fans that have supported us throughout all the years.The alumni were here, parents of alumni that have played for me, it was just amazing.The whole Bentley community came out today - the President, professors, everyone.”

“Before the game, we said we’re playing for our team, for our parents, for Bentley College,” added Cabrera, who made the All-Tournament Team with Bunce, Bates and junior back Diana DeMain.“It was huge, especially for me as a senior and for Allyson Bunce. It was an awesome way to end our field hockey careers.”
