Saint Mary’s will host the Saint Mary’s Invitational for the fifth time,and first time at theBayonet and Black Horse Golf Courses in 2010. After four years at Poppy Hills Golf Course, the annual event will be played at both courses. Both courses will host the event on Monday, October 25, with the final round being played at Bayonet GC on October 26.

Both courses are steeped in rich tradition, and have played host to PGA Tour greats such as Palmer, Nicklaus, and Watson, as well as several U.S. Presidents and foreign dig-nitaries. They have quickly emerged as popular public and championship courses, and they continue to hold their place amongst the best golf courses on the Monterey Peninsula.

Black HorseBlack Horse was designed in 1964 by General Edwin

Carnes, the Commanding General of Fort Ord from April 1963 until June of 1965. With the most breath-taking views of the Monterey Bay imaginable, the most recent renova-tions transformed Black Horse into a longer, more challeng-ing “championship golf course.” With long rolling fairways, “championship golf tees,” and alluring panoramic views of the Monterey Bay, Black Horse will not only take your game through its paces, it will also captivate your soul. Black Horse is now 7,024 yards long, with four sets of tees; a par 72, with a slope of 141 and a rating of 73.7.

Brother Ronald Gallagher, F.S.C., Ph.D., became the 28th

President of Saint Mary’s College of California on Jan. 2, 2005.

A seasoned educator, Brother Ronald is deeply devoted to the

College’s Catholic, Lasallian and liberal arts traditions and is

committed to promoting the values of those traditions among stu-

dents, faculty, staff and friends of Saint Mary’s.

Brother Ronald graduated from Saint Mary’s in 1969 with a

B.A. in English, received an M.A. in comparative literature from

San Francisco State University in 1975 and earned his doctor-

ate in comparative literature from the University of Washington in

1990. He is fluent in French, German, Italian and Latin with some

knowledge of Arabic, Irish and Spanish.

Before assuming the college presidency, Brother Ronald had

been chair of the Department of English and Drama at Saint

Mary’s College of California since 2002 and an associate profes-

sor of English since 1993. Previously he served the College as

an assistant professor of English and Modern Languages from

1984 to 1992, and as an assistant to the president between 1990

and 1993.

From 1993 to 1997, Brother Ronald was vice chancellor of

Bethlehem University, where he oversaw administration, devel-

opment, finance and academics. As the leader of a Catholic

university in the deeply divided Middle East, he responded to

formidable challenges by forging strong regional and global sup-

port for the school. Enlisting the help of many countries, individu-

als, groups, international aid agencies and the Vatican, Brother

Ronald was able to raise the funds necessary for Bethlehem

University to fulfill its educational mission among the economi-

cally disadvantaged

Palestinian commu-

nity.

In his role as

Secretary General

of the Brothers

of the Christian Schools in Rome from 1997 to 2001, Brother

Ronald organized the 43rd General Chapter, an international

assembly that resulted in a seven-year global strategic plan for

Lasallian educators.

Brother Ronald’s teaching specialties include 19th and 20th

Century Anglo-Irish Literature, the modern novel, and the history

and culture of Ireland. His passion for Irish literature began when

he read James Joyce’s “Ulysses” during his senior year at Saint

Mary’s. In recent years, he has led several groups of students

on tours of the historical and cultural sites of Ireland during the

College’s January Term.

He was born in Oakland, California, in 1946, grew up in Santa

Cruz and Bakersfield, and joined the Christian Brothers after

graduating from Mont La Salle High School in Napa.

Brother Ronald has been a strong supporter of intercollegiate

and recreational athletics at Saint Mary’s College, serving as

moderator of the tennis team. He is also an avid golfer and back-

packer.

Mark Orr was named the Director of Athletics and Recreational Sports on March 28, 2006. Orr oversees the Department of Athletics 14-team intercollegiate athletic program. During Orr's tenure a number of changes have been made to the existing athletic facilities, with 1.2 million dollars of renovations to McKeon Pavilion, Saint Mary’s Stadium, Madigan Gym, and the Korth Tennis Complex. McKeon

Pavilion renovations include chair back seating behind the team benches, reconditioning of the VIP section, and installing a new sound system. McKeon also received new locker rooms and offices for men’s and women’s basketball along with volleyball. The stadium field was replaced with a new bermuda playing surface, the upstairs bleachers in Madigan Gym have been converted into a cardiovascular fitness area, and the Timothy Korth Tennis Complex has been altered to make watching events more spectator friendly. Also a new Student-Athlete Academic Center has been added to Madigan Gym. The Pat Vincent Rugby Field also welcomed a new surface as well. Under his leadership, Saint Mary’s athletics added five new positions in the past year to the athletic staff. Orr also hired head women’s basketball coach Paul Thomas, who was named the Division II National Coach of the Year in 2002. On top of the additions, numerous firsts have been achieved in just one year. The athletic department launched a new logo through Osaki Designs which was unveiled on July 21, 2007. Orr was instrumental in working out the largest television agreement in school history with Comcast Sports Net. Since Orr’s hiring in March, SMC has earned its highest two finishes in the West Coast Conference Commissioner’s Cup since the inception of the award. During the 2007-08 athletic seasons, Orr saw two Saint Mary's teams reach the NCAA Tournament, in men's basketball and golf, while both men's and women's tennis and softball experienced their most successful seasons.

Prior to his appointment as Director of Athletics and Recreational Sports, Orr served as the Senior Associate Director of Athletics for Finance and Internal Affairs at Saint Mary’s for the two years. Orr ran most of the day-to-day activities, which included coordinating the internal administrative affairs for the department, facilitating the Men’s and Women’s Tennis Fund Raising Association, coordinating all departmental travel, negotiating department guarantees, preparing department contracts, and assisting with the development of the Strategic Plan for the Department of Athletics and Recreational Sports. During his time at Saint Mary’s, Orr handled almost every facet to the Department of Athletics. In addition to the management of the department’s $9.1 million budget, he served as the lead sport administrator for football, women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, and men’s and women’s tennis. Additionally, he was responsible for compliance, sports medicine, strength and conditioning, and ticket operations. In February of 2003, Orr assumed the position of Associate Director of Athletics for Business and Finance, before being promoted to the Senior Associate Director of Athletics in October of 2004. Orr came to Saint Mary’s College on August 4, 2000 as the Assistant Director of Athletics for Student Support Services, responsible for overseeing eligibility for student-athletes, the Champs Life Skills program, and assisting with compliance. He came to SMC from the University of California at Berkeley, where he served as the Compliance Assistant and the Interim Eligibility Assistant in 1999-2000. He also served as a peer advisor and senior tutor for two years and was a teaching assistant and graduate student instructor that same year. Orr completed his bachelor’s degree from UC Berkeley in Social Welfare in 1999 and earned his master’s degree in education in 2000. Orr is a native of Sacramento, where he attended Christian Brothers schools throughout his childhood and graduated from Christian Brothers High School in Sacramento in 1994. He earned a scholarship to play football at Cal, where he played from 1994-98. A four-year letterman defensive back on the California football team, Orr was an Honorable Mention All-Academic Pac-10 selection in 1997 and 1998. He was awarded the Pappy Waldorf Honorary Scholarship for Academic Excellence in 1998 and received the Tiny Bates Memorial Award for Leadership in 1998. Orr and his wife April currently live in Walnut Creek with their two children, Tyson Mark (4) and Jacob William (2).

Integrating Catholic, Lasallian, Liberal ArtsA Saint Mary’s education blends the College’s Catholic, Lasallian, and liberal arts traditions. Our Catholic tradition is based on a Christian understand-

ing of the whole person, both intellectual and spiritual, within a campus community that respects each person and values intellectual, ethnic, and cultural diversity.

The Lasallian roots of Saint Mary’s are found in the De La Salle Christian Brothers, the Catholic order of Brothers who run the College. The Brothers were founded more than 300 years ago by Saint John Baptist De La Salle, a French priest, who was determined to offer a high-quality education to the poor and marginalized in French society. Since that time, the Brothers have built a reputation for innovative, personal, and effective education, and they now teach more than 900,000 students in more than 80 countries.

“Lasallian” at Saint Mary’s means we emphasize a way of educating students that is focused on the needs of the individual. Undergraduates not only get to know professors but also have opportunities to work with them, through research projects or taking independent study courses. And because the Brothers’ life is based on service to others, we believe that providing opportunities for service is part of a well-rounded education. Students have plenty of chances to participate in courses with service components, volunteer at homeless shelters, and join on-campus clubs that work with national organizations, such as Habitat for Humanity.

Finally, our liberal arts tradition is rooted in core seminar courses that focus on the Great Books. All undergraduate students take four core seminar courses in which they will digest the ideas of history’s great thinkers and writers and discuss them together, with the guidance of their professor. In semi-nar courses, students learn how to integrate ideas and think across disciplines, skills that they’ll use for the rest of their lives. Many find it one of the most memorable experiences of their Saint Mary’s experience.

We are very proud of the personal, student-centered education that we offer, and we hope

you will learn all you wish to know about us as you visit our campus.

Strong AcademicsSaint Mary’s is noted for a faculty made up of teacher/scholars: that is, they are both strong in research and publishing and personally interested in

their students. Professors teach classes at all levels, and the college’s intimate size makes for many opportunities for personal interaction with students. One of our newest academic resources is the Filippi Academic Hall, a two-story, 37,000-square-foot building across from Louis Guisto baseball

field. The 23.4 million dollar building is the first major capital project completed under Brother President Ronald Gallagher's leadership, delivering sorely needed classrooms and office space. It is also the new home for the Kalmanovitz School of Education, which supports the College's Lasallian mission by preparing more than 400 men and women each year for careers in primary, secondary and post-secondary education.

"Saint Mary's is committed to meeting the significant need for qualified teachers in the Bay Area and beyond," said Saint Mary's College President Brother Ronald Gallagher. "We see this project as an investment in the region's future."

Saint Mary's is especially proud of Jan Term, a four-week session held each year between the fall and spring semesters. During Jan Term, students are encouraged to plan their own independent study courses outside their major field, and professors are urged to develop new courses in subjects that personally interest them. That’s a combination that leads to faculty innovation and student initiative.

Students have the oppurtunity to make an in-depth, accelerated exploration of topics like intensive Japanese, enterpreneurship, or young adult fiction. January Term classes have contributed to the rebuilding of New Orleans, explored the continuing effects of apartheid in South Africa, critiqued movies at the Sundance Film Festival, and explored biodiversity of South Africa.

Student Life: Making a MarkBecause Saint Mary’s is an intimate college, about 2,500 undergraduates, stu-

dents who are ready to leave their mark have lots of options. There are 14 varsity Division I sports and a tradition of athletic success; a slew of recreational and intra-mural sports; social organizations; a radio station; a weekly newspaper; a literary magazine; student government; vocal and dance ensembles; ethnic heritage organi-zations; a campus ministry peer counseling team; a women’s resource center; and much more.

A Rich CultureDuring the academic year, the College calendar is filled with readings by both

nationally known and young, ground-breaking writers; a performing arts series; drama productions; lectures by scientists and social justice activists; and other activities that are open to both students and members of the nearby communities. The Hearst Art Gallery features top-notch exhibitions and an important collection of California paint-ings, and the College is also home to a gallery of student art.

A Beautiful Campus The Saint Mary’s campus, built in a Spanish colonial style, is considered one

of the most beautiful in California. Anchoring the campus is the striking Saint Mary’s Chapel, with its glowing stained-glass windows manufactured in the late 1920s and its glorious pipe organ. Arcades-covered, shady walkways-link the college buildings and create outdoor rooms that are perfect for the California cli-mate and symbolic of an education that connects academic disciplines. Buildings are generally two or three stories high, no higher, and they are feature tile roofs, thick, white walls, and deep-set windows. Professor Roy Schmaltz, chair of the art department, regularly brings fellow artists to campus to paint and draw.

“It’s very nourishing and wonderful just a wealth of inspiration for the stu-dents,” Schmaltz says. “Every day, when I come to campus, I get this lift as I drive in and see it all.”

And with hiking trails on the surrounding hillsides and nearby running paths, the outdoors is as striking as the College’s architecture.

Getting Off CampusFor off-campus recreation, Saint Mary’s is just a half-day’s drive from skiing

in the Sierras, swimming at Lake Tahoe, or taking in the Monterey Bay Aquarium and strolling Steinbeck’s Cannery Row. Even closer are hikes in Marin County’s Muir Woods National Monument, getting thrills on the roller coasters at Santa Cruz’s boardwalk, treks across the Golden Gate bridge, sight-seeing tours at Alcatraz Island, drives through beautiful Sonoma and Napa counties, outings to the San Francisco and Oakland ballet, orchestra, and theater, and java-sipping and used-book shopping in Berkeley.

When it comes to access to stores and shops, Saint Mary’s is close to San Francisco’s myriad of stores and is a stone’s throw from Walnut Creek, one of the fastest-growing, upscale shopping hubs in the entire state.

Saint Mary’s StadiumSaint Mary’s Stadium is the home to the

women’s and men's soccer and women’s lacrosse teams. Located in the southeast corner of campus with views of the rolling hills of Moraga, Saint Mary’s Stadium seats 5,500 spectators in one of the most picturesque settings in the country. Saint Mary’s Stadium, which has hosted a number of soccer tournaments throughout the years, was the home of the football team since 1973 and hosted more than 160 football games in 30 years. The field received a new Bermuda grass playing surface in 2006.

McKeon PavilionMcKeon Pavilion is the home to the men’s

basketball, women’s basketball and women’s volleyball teams. McKeon Pavilion, which was constructed in 1978, features a 3,500-seat basketball court and received a new floor during the summer of 2004 and a lighting upgrade in the summer of 2008. Large, boisterous crowds are the norm for Saint Mary’s, giving the Gaels a great haven and an exciting place to watch a sporting event. McKeon Pavilion is the largest enclosed arena in Contra Costa County and is part of the Brother Albert Rahill Activity Center.

Louis Guisto FieldLocated in the front of the campus, Louis Guisto Field has been the

home site for baseball since 1928. Originally named the Brother Agon Field, the facility was renamed after legendary baseball-great Louis Guisto in 1965. “The Guisto,” as nicknamed by players and coaches, is set amongst towering pine trees with views of the campus and the surrounding Moraga hills. Just a few steps away from various types of student housing, the field provides Saint Mary’s students a popular venue to enjoy the California sunshine and support the Gaels.

Cottrell FieldCompleted in October of 1999, Cottrell Field has been the home for

the Saint Mary’s Softball team for the past nine seasons. Constructed almost entirely by the Saint Mary’s College Buildings and Grounds staff, Cottrell Field was named a 2000 NFCA Regional Surface Field winner. In the inaugural season at Cottrell Field, the Gaels hosted 31 games and posted an 18-13 home record. The field of dreams became a reality thanks to Elizabeth Larson’s donation, and she requested the field be named after Dr. John Cottrell and Katherine Casassa Cottrell.

Timothy Korth Tennis ComplexSince the winter of 1990, the Timothy Korth Tennis Complex has

housed the Saint Mary’s men’s and women’s tennis teams. The complex features 12 courts, offices for coaches, and is located steps away from Louis Guisto (baseball) and Cottrell (softball) Fields. In the summer of 2008 all 12 courts were resurfaced and painted, while permanent seating was also installed.

Additionally, the Korth Tennis Complex has served as host to numerous Rolex, NorCal and North Coast Section High School tournaments, as well as multiple West Coast Conference Championships.

Garaventa FieldGaraventa Field has played host to both the men’s and women’s soccer teams

for the last 20 years. The playing surface at Garaventa Field was changed from a rye grass to Bermuda grass in the summer of 2003 to create a faster playing surface. The new grass field was the first renovation to the field since its inception in 1988. Garaventa Field currently serves as the practice field for men's and women's soccer, since the teams moved their matches to Saint Mary's Stadium in 2004.

Community Service ActivitiesSaint Mary’s College has a long-standing involvement in community services.

Using the example of Saint John Baptist De La Salle, Gael student-athletes uphold the Lasallian mission of the College by volunteering many hours of service to local youth, elderly, and underprivileged communities. During the 2007-08 academic year, all Gael athletic teams committed to serve one or more community organizations.

Other community service programs completed by Gael student-athletes:• Hosted a Girl Scout Sleepover• Art and Wine Festival volunteer participation• NABC Reading Program, providing reading instruction to local youths• Breast Cancer Awareness Walk• Visits to the Children’s Hospital of Oakland• Visits to the Homeless Shelters in the Bay Area• Moraga the Beautiful Community Clean-Up Day• Catholic Youth Organization Skills Clinics and Autograph Sessions• Canned food drive for the Saint Anthony’s Foundation in San Francisco• I’m Going to College Day, at Saint Mary’s College• Carnival-4-Kids• Mentoring for after school program within the Oakland Unified School District• Clothing Drive

The benefits of community service for the student-athlete are many. Personal and social adjustments develop from working with others. A community service commitment allows a student-athlete to reach outside the Saint Mary’s community and realize their relation with the rest of the world. Saint Mary’s College of California is com-mitted to service learning in a variety of ways.

Student-Athletes have the opportunity to use the values, work ethic and leadership skills learned through athletics to positively influ-ence others in the community. By volunteering at local events, Saint Mary’s student-athletes are some of the best ambassador’s for the College.

Saint Mary’s enjoys a long and rich tradition of academic achievement among its athletic programs. Following the end of the 2009-10 athletic year, 27 Gael student-athletes were named to West Coast Conference All-Academic Teams, five players from the women’s lacrosse team earned Mountain Pacific Sports Federation All-Academic recognition, and five softball players earned Pacific Coast Conference All-Academic Honors.

With 242 student-athletes on campus last year, 107 student athletes (44.2 percent) earned at least a 3.0 grade point average. In at least one semester 86 student-athletes (38 percent) earned a scholar-athletes status (minimum 3.20 GPA) and 60 student-athletes (25 percent) made the Dean’s list (minimum 3.50 GPA). Additionally, 90 student-athletes from the college’s 12 WCC teams were represented on the Commissioner’s Honor Roll. In total, 46 percent of the players on SMC’s 2009-10 WCC rosters carry a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher.

The 2009-10 season marked the 10th year of the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll, recognizing the top 10 GPA’s in the entire athletic program. Jillian Parlee from the women's rowing team garnered top honors while being a member of the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll for in her first year.

Students who choose Saint Mary’s College for continued learning receive much more than a run-of-the-mill education. They join one of the West Coast’s premier academic institutions that is consistently recognized for its excellence by U.S. News and World Report.

With a sterling reputation for both academics and athletics, Saint Mary’s College provides the rare balance of small college size with NCAA Division I competition. Gael student-athletes receive guidance and counseling to meet their needs from the first day on campus until they graduate. Taking many forms, assistance includes course and major selection, study skills workshops, opportunities for supervised study time, and the proctoring of exams while competing away from campus. Coordinating the athletic efforts for Saint Mary’s College are a team of Katie Davis, Director of Academic Services, Kari Montero, Assistant A.D. of Student-Athlete Services and Chris Harrell, Coordinator of Eligibility and Compliance. They will draw from the campus’ many other resources, including the Office of Advising Services, the Career Development Center, Academic Support and Achievement Programs, and the Library and Media Centers. Workshops throughout the year are offered in the areas of:

• Selection of Classes and Majors • Collegiate Study Skills• Academic, Athletic and Personal Goal Setting • Time Management• Life Skills and Personal Development

Completed in October of 1992, the Saint Mary’s College Power Plant provides Gael student-athletes, students, faculty and staff a first-class weight room and training facility.

Spearheaded by former College President Brother Mel Anderson, FSC, the facility offers Gael student-athletes state-of-the-art equipment including free weights, weight machines, stairmasters, and treadmills.

With the hire of the first Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Saint Mary’s, Gene Mirra, in February of 2002, the Power Plant has seen significant changes in a short time. Much of the old equipment has been replaced by collegiate standard racking systems, including five platform squat rack stations with multi use benches in each location. Iron weight

plates were replaced with safer more functional rubber covered Olympic bumper plates. With the addition of this equipment it allows for more Olympic and ground

based training, and an athletically functional weight training facility for student-athletes.In the summer of 2003, the Power Plant gained an addition of 250-square feet with the removal of the Power

Plant’s final boiler. With the additional floor space, six leg machines were added to aid in athletic development and rehabilitation.

The 2,500 square-foot facility allows Saint Mary’s student-athletes to train in sport-specific programs year round. Workout programs are designed to increase athletic performance, prevent and rehabilitate injuries, and improve mental and physical health. These goals are achieved by utilizing Olympic lifts, strength training, flex-

ibility, quickness, and agility drills. In addition, upper and lower body plyo-metrics, various types of conditioning, and nutrition education are available to Gael student-athletes.

The building derived its name from its days as the Powerhouse for the Campus. Although now devoted to weights and exercise equipment, this 1928 building was named in the days when the great boilers supplied heat and water to the entire campus. A large steam whistle was mounted on the roof and coded blasts were used to summon janitors from across the campus. Students, with little else to do at night, would climb up the walls and cross the precarious ledge to tie down the whistle. The boilers were removed in 1992 and the two-story space was redesigned by the Athletic Department. As a reminder of its original purpose, the disused smokestack still remains.

hen the West Coast Conference first got its start backin 1952, the founders really had only one goal in mind...to create a convenient way for five Bay Areaschools to play basketball. Now, 58 years later, a mar-

velously cohesive athletics league, which is competitive at the national level in 13 sports, is entering it's 32nd season under its present eight-team mix.

The current members of the WCC span the western coast of the United States from Canada to Mexico. Though the institutions range from the pine forests of eastern Washington state to the sun drenched beaches of southern California, the com-bined excellence in athletics and academics sets the conference apart on the national scene and draws the individual institutions together in a common mission.

The WCC crowns champions in 13 sports: baseball, men’s and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, men's and women's golf, women's rowing, men's and women's soccer, men's and women's tennis and women's volleyball. The league was chartered by five Bay Area institutions (San Francisco,Saint Mary's, Santa Clara, San Jose State and Pacific) as the California Basket-ball Association, playing its first game on January 2, 1953. After two seasonsof play under that name, the conference expanded to include Loyola Mary-mount and Pepperdine in 1955, and became the "West Coast Athletic Con-ference" in 1956. The name was shortened to the West Coast Conference in 1989.

The current alignment of Gonzaga, LMU, Pepperdine, Portland, Saint Mary's, San Diego, San Francisco and Santa Clara has remained unchanged since 1979, making the WCC the third most stable conference in the nation. Only the Ivy League and Pacific-10 Conference have been together longer.
