Hayes, the eighth director of athletics at Hofstra, oversees Hofstra’s 18 Division I teams, an athletic administration of more than 70 professional staff, and 430 student-athletes. He also serves on the NCAA Division I Lacrosse committee. Hayes’ proven expertise in enhancing academic and athletic success of student-athletes, strategic planning, fundraising, marketing, university relations, facility enhancement, budgetary management, and NCAA compliance will complement Hofstra University’s athletic department in its quest to further enhance its athletic program, and assist Hofstra’s student-athletes both on and off the field. 2005-06 was a banner year for Hofstra Athletics as the Pride won Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) championships in men’s soccer, women’s soccer, wrestling, softball and men’s lacrosse and competed in NCAA Tournaments in each sport. In addition, the men and women’s basketball teams were selected to play in the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). In his first year (2004-05) as Hofstra’s athletics director, the Pride captured three CAA championships and advanced to postseason play in four sports – men’s soccer, wrestling and softball took part in the NCAA Tournament, while men’s basketball participated in the NIT. Hayes has placed a significant emphasis on fundraising during his first two years. Pride Club membership reached all-time highs, both in terms of the number of contributors and funds raised. Resources generated through fundraising efforts have been used to enhance programs and facilities available to student-athletes. Recent initiatives include the renovation
of the study lab in Margiotta Hall and a new academic study area in the Physical Fitness Center. Hayes came to Hofstra University with more than 14 years of athletic administration experience, including management positions at four Division I institutions. The three years prior to taking his current position were highlighted by leading the University of Connecticut Division of Athletics fundraising efforts, where his responsibilities included managing the operations of the UConn Athletic Development Fund, implementing policies and procedures

Prior to his tenure at Fordham, Hayes served as assistant director of athletics at St. John’s University, where he managed the fiscal operations of the athletic department and supervised the business office. Hayes began his professional career in college athletics at Fairfield University, where he served as assistant director of athletics. He oversaw the addition of four sports programs at Fairfield – football, women’s rowing, women’s lacrosse and women’s golf. Hayes received a master’s degree in education in 1992 with a concentration in sport management from the University of Connecticut. He holds a bachelor’s degree (1989) from Providence College, where he was a member of Providence’s lacrosse team. He was also awarded a certificate of completion in 2001 from the Sports Management Institute, Consortium of the Universities of Michigan and Texas. A native of Providence, Rhode Island, Hayes graduated from the Providence Country Day School where he lettered in football, basketball and lacrosse. He was inducted, as a member of his high school basketball team, into the Providence Country Day Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2004. He resides in East Northport, New York, with his wife Bridget, daughter Katie (4) and son Matt (1).

ofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. The University views participation in intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the student-athlete in an educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by student-athletes and has committed the facilities and resources to support all students. The University Tutorial Program (UTP) provides free tutoring in every subject area to any Hofstra student. Students are able to obtain up to 1 1/2 hours of individual tutorial assistance per week for each subject. They are also able to utilize the various help labs on campus, which specialize in providing assistance in writing, business and QM, and biology and chemistry. In addition to this service, student-athletes are assigned an academic advisor who helps address the various needs of student‑athletes. The academic advisor emphasizes four areas in their efforts to ensure the academic success of Hofstra’s studentathletes. Area one is academic counseling. Services are provided in the areas of academic planning, career planning, personal counseling, and campus and community referrals.

hrough a comprehensive athletic training program, Hofstra University student-athletes are provided excellent health care during their attendance at the University. A coordinated effort between the University Health and Wellness Center, the Athletic Department and outside health care providers ensures every student-athlete the best medical attention possible.
University student-athletes have direct access to a myriad of health care services. Managing the coverage of every practice and competition event is Hofstra University’s athletic training staff, which is led by third-year Head Athletic Trainer Evan Malings and features nine full-time athletic trainers and numerous student athletic trainers. The athletic trainers provide injury management, rehabilitation and treatment to the entire Athletic program. Utilizing three state-of-the-art athletic training rooms, these professionals work tirelessly to ensure the safe participation of Hofstra’s student-athletes and to return injured athletes to play quickly and safely. Supporting the athletic trainers is team physician Dr. Damion Martins. Dr. Martins, a physician with Pro Health Care, Inc. in Lake Success, New York, is in his fourth year on Hofstra’s medical team. Martins experience in the sports medicine field includes serving as team physician for the University of Maryland, University of Maryland-Baltimore County and Coppin State athletic departments. He was also on the medical staff of the National Football League’s Baltimore Ravens. Hofstra University sponsors a fully accredited, highly competitive undergraduate degree program for athletic training majors, in which Hofstra student athletic trainers participate in all aspects of the health care system.

Hofstra Symbols and Heritage 2 0 0 6 - 0 7 h o f st r a u n i v e r s i t y m e n ’s a n d wo m e n ’s t e n n i s
The Symbols of Hofstra University The Shield Logo
The Pride
n 2005 Hofstra introduced a new logo as part of a Universitywide re-imaging. Both the University’s logo as well as the Pride logo were designed by advertising agency Powell New York, a full-service branding and marketing agency, noted as one of the ten firms to watch in 2005 in Advertising Age.
s of July 1, 2005, our athletic teams are officially known as the Pride, providing our teams with a strong, consistent image that resonates with the Hofstra community. The new Hofstra Athletics logo consists of a graphic mark of a male and female lion in powerful, synchronized motion with the word mark of the Hofstra Pride or the specific sports team. This logo will be the only one used by Hofstra Athletics.
I
The new University logo features an “H” within a shield design. Hofstra University has always been known for both a tradition of academic excellence and a willingness to evolve to meet the needs of students and the greater society. This shield represents the University’s commitment to our heritage and a tradition of academic excellence, while the dynamic representation of the H within the shield embodies the evolutionary, changing nature of the University. Hofstra University has both honored its traditions and heritage while embracing changing disciplines, using new technology and remaining relevant to scholarly pursuits and the demands of industry.
The Seal
T
he Hofstra seal was designed from the royal Dutch emblem by art instructor Constant Van de Wall. The seal is modeled on the coat of arms of the House of Orange-Nassau. The round seal includes the coat of arms, flanked by lions on either side. A lion also stands in the center of the coat of arms, holding a sword in its right claw and a bundle of seven arrows, which represent the seven provinces of Holland, in its left. The seal also carries the motto of the House of Orange-Nassau in Old French: “Je maintiendray” (I stand steadfast). In 1988 one of the two lions on the seal was officially replaced with a lioness. The Hofstra seal is still in use today, though not as a logo. The seal will be affixed to formal documents, and used for official purposes such as commencement, convocations, and official University functions.
A
The Hofstra Pride refers to a pack of lions, male and female, which work together towards a common goal and symbolize determination and strength. The Pride conveys both the teamwork and togetherness that is a trait of lions living in prides, who have a close bond and work together for the good of the entire group. The teamwork evident in prides are traits of Hofstra’s student-athletes, who support each other in furtherance of a common goal, while working tirelessly to represent their teams and, in turn, the University. Lions also possess speed, tenacity, and agility, and are relentless in their pursuit of a goal, which are traits our student-athletes demonstrate both on and off the field. The first consistent use of the word “Pride” relating to athletics was in 1989 when the University’s athletic booster club was founded and called itself The Pride Club, which at the time simply referred to the pride that alumni and fans had for our teams. The Pride identity has progressed over the past decade in a more specific fashion than just the expression of a feeling. After one lion on the Hofstra seal was changed into a lioness to symbolize gender equity, the University mascots -- Kate and Willie Pride, a lioness and lion – were introduced.
Hofstra’s Dutch Heritage
T
ies to Dutch heritage and the Netherlands began with William S. Hofstra, after whom the school is named and on whose property the University was started. William Hofstra died in 1932 and when his wife, Kate, died 16 months later, her will provided that their house, 15-acre estate, and bulk of her inheritance were to be used for a “public, charitable, benevolent, or scientific purpose” as a memorial to her husband. The idea for a college came from Truesdel Peck Calkins, former Hempstead superintendent of schools, who was then with New York University. He suggested that NYU might offer extension courses on the Hofstra property. Hofstra opened in September 1935, as a two-year extension branch of NYU; its official name was “Nassau College – Hofstra Memorial of New York University at Hempstead, Long Island.” When the doors opened, the sole building on campus was Hofstra’s mansion, which he had affectionately named the Netherlands after his homeland, and all classes were held there. The mansion, which houses administrative offices, is now the center of Hofstra’s 240-acre campus, and has been renamed Hofstra Hall.

The Colonial Athletic Association 2 0 0 6 - 0 7 h o f st r a u n i v e r s i t y m e n ’s a n d wo m e n ’s t e n n i s

oming off one of the most successful seasons in its 21-year history, the Colonial Athletic Association continues to enhance its reputation as one of the nation’s top collegiate conferences. With a geographic footprint that stretches from Boston to Atlanta, the CAA encompasses five of the nation’s nine largest metropolitan areas. On the playing field, the conference has produced 16 national team champions in five different sports, 33 individual national champions, 12 national players of the year, 11 national coaches of the year and 12 Honda Award winners. Even more impressive, however, are the honors accumulated away from competition, which include five Rhodes Scholars and 19 NCAA post-graduate scholars. In 2005-06, the CAA had 11 ESPN The Magazine Academic AllAmericans and more than 1,500 of our 4,000 student-athletes posted at least a 3.2 grade point average while lettering in a varsity sport and received the CAA Commissioner’s Academic Award. The landscape of the conference stretches along the majority of the East Coast, and includes six of the nation’s top 25 media markets – New York (1), Philadelphia (4), Boston (5), Washington, D.C. (8), Atlanta (9) and Baltimore (23). The number of television homes in the CAA market exceeds 19 million. The CAA conducts championships in 21 sports. Male athletes compete for championships in baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, lacrosse, soccer, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and wrestling. Female athletes battle for conference titles in basketball, cross country, field hockey, golf, lacrosse, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field and volleyball. The CAA will also begin sponsorship of a 12team Division I-AA football league in the fall of 2007. The conference made its presence known nationally in men’s basketball, with four teams advancing to post-season play for the second year in a row. George Mason became the first mid-major program since 1979 to reach the Final Four, knocking off powerhouses Michigan State, North Carolina, Wichita State and Connecticut

along the way. The Patriots were ranked #8 in the final ESPN/USA Today Top 25 poll, which was the highest ever for a CAA team. UNC Wilmington claimed its third league title in the past five years before dropping an overtime decision in the NCAA Tournament. Old Dominion became the first conference team to reach the final four of the NIT, defeating league member Hofstra in the quarterfinals. Drexel was the first CAA squad to make the final four of the NIT Pre-Season TipOff Tournament, where it dropped close decisions to national powers Duke and UCLA. The CAA was ranked eighth out of 31 conferences in the final RPI with six teams among the top 88 in the country. In women’s basketball, the CAA had a league-record four teams earn post-season berths and was ranked #8 in the final RPI. Perennial power Old Dominion, which claimed its 15th consecutive conference title, has a storied history that includes three national championships (1979, 1980, 1985) and a national runner-up finish in 1997. Delaware, James Madison and Hofstra received berths in the 2006 WNIT. The conference also excels in many other sports. CAA squads have won 10 field hockey national titles since the championship began in 1981 and Old Dominion advanced to the national semifinals in 2005. In baseball, James Madison’s Kellen Kulbacki was chosen as the Co-National Player of the Year and the league had 28 players chosen in the 2006 Major League Baseball draft. The CAA is annually ranked among the nation’s top 10 conferences in men’s and women’s soccer, and traditionally sends multiple teams to the NCAA Tournament. Hofstra’s men’s lacrosse team was ranked #2 in the nation last season and tied an NCAA record with 17 victories while CAA women’s tennis players Megan Moulton-Levy of William & Mary and Tatsiana Uvarova of VCU both earned All-America honors after facing off in the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship. In 2005-06, 21 league teams earned NCAA Tournament berths in 16 sports. There were 37 CAA studentathletes who earned All-America honors. CAA member institutions are committed to excellence in the classroom. The Colonial Academic Alliance was created in 2002 by the league’s presidents with a goal of
expanding their partnership to all aspects of university life outside of intercollegiate athletics. Among the programs already established are an undergraduate research conference, coordination of study abroad programs and granting visiting academic status to student-athletes traveling to an away contest so that they have access to libraries, academic resource centers and computer labs. In 2002, two faculty members from CAA institutions were awarded academia’s most coveted distinction – the Nobel Prize. John B. Fenn, a research professor in the Department of Chemistry at Virginia Commonwealth University, received the Nobel Prize for chemistry, and Vernon Smith, a professor of economics and law at George Mason University, shared the Nobel Prize in economic sciences. Commissioner Thomas E. Yeager has guided the CAA since its inception. Long-time members George Mason University, James Madison University, the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, Old Dominion University, Virginia Commonwealth University and the College of William & Mary were joined by the University of Delaware, Drexel University, Hofstra University and Towson University in 2001. Georgia State University and Northeastern University became members of the conference on July 1, 2005. The CAA traces its roots back to 1983 when three of its current members- George Mason, James Madison, and William and Mary - were aligned with East Carolina University, the United States Naval Academy and the University of Richmond as a basketball league (ECAC South). During the next two years, the league added 11 sports, acquired two new members (UNC Wilmington and American University) and decided to form a new association. The transformation from ECAC South to CAA took place on June 6, 1985. Old Dominion became a member of the CAA in 1991-92 and VCU joined the conference prior to the 1995-96 season. From all-star athletes to Nobel Prize winning faculty, the CAA takes great pride in producing performers who stand out both on the playing field and in the classroom.

Team buses should take the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway from the south, and the Clearview Expressway from the north, to get to the Long Island Expressway for the trip to Hofstra. Once on the Long Island Expressway (I-
495), buses should proceed to Glen Cove Road-South (exit 39). Head south on Glen Cove Road for approximately eight miles to Hempstead Turnpike/Fulton Avenue and turn left (east). Hofstra University is approximately two miles east on Hempstead Turnpike.
Public Transportation from Airport:
If a visitor arrives at either La Guardia or Kennedy Airport, the most direct means of reaching the University is by one of three limousine companies that service both airports and the Hofstra University area. Larry’s Taxi Service (516) 483-3333; Transport Limousine Service (800) 654-1164 (out of state) (800) 8325466 (in New York state); Winston Limousine Service (800) 4-AIRPORT.

AMTRAK services Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan, approximately 30 miles from the Hofstra campus. To get to Hofstra from Penn Station, take the Long Island Rail Road to the Hempstead station. The Hofstra University Courtesy Bus and taxi services are available there. Hofstra is approximately 1.5 miles from the station.
