HEAD COACH 

Pete 

Stankevich 

Former University of Hartford golfer Pete Stankevich enters his fi rst season as head 

coach at his alma mater. He was named to the position in June, the fi rst 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 qualifi ed 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 golfi ng 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 Brookfi eld, 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.

2 HARTFORD MEN’S GOLF – 14 NCAA APPEARANCES

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, 

fi rst-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 qualifi ed 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 (Wethersfi eld, CT) will lead the way in his fi nal 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 benefi ts 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 

fi nishes 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 fi nish 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 fi ve more tournaments in the 

months of March and April. The Hawks, whose best fi nish 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 fi nished in the top fi ve 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 fi nished 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 fi nal holes. The Hawks, who started 

the day a shot behind Wofford College, found themselves trailing 

Campbell University by four shots entering the fi nal three holes. 

Hartford played the fi nal three holes in seven-under par as a team, 

fi nishing 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 fi nishes, 

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 fi nished 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 fi rst 

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 

HARRISON 

University of Hartford 

President 

Growth, vitality, and service to the community are key attributes of Walter Harrison’s fi rst 10 

years as president of the University of Hartford. Since his appointment as the University of 

Hartford’s fi fth 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, fi nances, 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 classifi ed 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 fi gure 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 fi ve-story, 208-bed residence for fi rst-year students, was 

completed during the summer of 2007. The oval-shaped Alumni Plaza, constructed out of 

concrete of various colors and fi nishes, 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 fi elds 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 Suffi eld Academy. He is also a director of WorldBusiness 

Capital, an international fi nance fi rm based in Hartford. 

Refl ecting 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 fi rm 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. 


PATRICIA H. 

MEISER 

Director of Athletics & 

Special Assistant 

to the President 

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 

fi nals for the fi rst 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 signifi cantly, 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 fi eld, the relocation and 

construction of a softball fi eld, the construction of a baseball fi eld and will include construction 

of a track surrounding an all-purpose fi eld. 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 Certifi cation 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 fi rst 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 fi rst 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 

fi elds brought a much different look to the opposite end of campus, benefi tting 

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 fi ve-story residential facility for fi rst-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 fi ve 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. 

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 Bloomfi eld. Midway between Boston 

and New York City, downtown Hartford, only fi ve 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 fi ne-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 fi ve 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.
