NEW YORK CITY ISFrom its beginnings in a schoolhouse in

lower Manhattan, Columbia University

has grown to encompass two principal

campuses in New York City: the historic,

neoclassical campus in the Morningside

Heights neighborhood and the modern

Medical Center further uptown, in

Washington Heights.

New York, the greatest city in the world,

has everything at your fingertips. A baseball

game at Yankee Stadium, a world-class

Broadway show, or just a ride around the

city where neighborhoods flow freely into

one another, New York has it all.

Today, Columbia is one of the top

academic and research institutions in the

world, conducting pathbreaking research

in medicine, science, the arts, and the

humanities. It includes three undergraduate

schools, thirteen graduate and professional

schools, and a school of continuing

education.

A member of the Ivy League, Columbia

sponsors 29 intercollegiate varsity sports

for men and women which compete at the

Division I level. Columbia has won 11 Ivy

League titles over the past three years,

the most in any three-year span in school

history.

UNLEASH THE ROAR!

2009-10 COLUMBIA MEN’S SWIMMING & DIVING


In 25 years as head coach of the Columbia men’s swimming team, Jim Bolster has forged one of the Northeast’s most

successful programs. His teams have captured one Eastern Swimming League (EISL) dual title and one runner-up place,

while completely rewriting the Columbia record book. Columbia has had three top-three finishes in the last five years at the EISL Championships, the squad’s best stretch of finishes since 1978. In 2005-06, he led the Lions to a 6-2 league dual record and 8-3 overall.

In both 2002-03 and 2003-04, Columbia closed with a 6-3 mark against league opponents in dual meets. The Lions won the 1988-89 EISL championships with Princeton and posted a conference record of 8-1, and were second to the Tigers in 1989-90, posting a 7-2 mark.

More than 50 new school records have been set since Bolster came to Columbia, including 38 in the new millennium, and 23 set in the last six seasons. His teams set a similar pattern of success at Ohio’s Denison University; during his five years as head coach at his alma mater, Denison finished in the nation’s top 10 in two consecutive years, placed seventh at the 1984 NCAA Division III Championships and virtually rewrote the Big Red record book.

A native of Princeton, New Jersey, Bolster was one of the finest athletes in Denison history. Twice named the school’s Most Valuable Swimmer, he won an NCAA Championship in the 200 butterfly in 1976, five conference titles in the 100 and 200 butterfly, and was a six-time NCAA Division III All-America. He also starred in soccer and lacrosse, earning four letters in each of the three sports. He graduated in 1977.

Selected in the first round of the 1977 North American Soccer League draft by the Connecticut Bicentennials, he played two years with Connecticut and Washington. He then utilized an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and earned a master’s degree in higher education administration from the University of Michigan in 1980.

Bolster thrives on athletic competition. He has twice placed fifth in world championship triathlon races, and he has completed the Ironman distance race on Martha’s Vineyard. In addition to triathlons, Bolster has been a competitive cyclist, with several

top ten Master’s finishes, including ninth in 1996 at the prestigious Tour of Killington, a five-day stage bicycle race. In 2006, he completed the five mountain stages of the Tour de France.

Bolster lives in Manhattan with his wife, Sharon Rose Kelly, an exercise physiologist. Members of large families – he is one of 14 children, she is one of 12 – they have three sons: Jake, 12, Luke, 11, and Clay, 9.

HEAD SWIMMING COACH JIM BOLSTER


HEAD DIVING COACH GORDON SPENCER

Gordon Spencer, now in his 27th year at Columbia, is one of the senior members of the Columbia Athletics coaching staff. He has built the Lions’ diving program into one of the most respected in the East, most recently with athletes such as Scott

Troob ’04CC, who earned honorable mention All-America honors in 2003, and five-time EISL Champion Mark Fichera ’02CC. Also the women’s diving coach, he coached the 2008 Ivy League three-meter diving champion and Co-Diver of the Meet, Shannon Hosey ’09SEAS, as well as the 2002 Ivy League three-meter diving champion and Outstanding Diver of the Meet Teresa Herrmann ’05CC. He has also coached two-time All-Ivy League honoree Grace Coyle ’05CC and school record-holder Leah Berger ’00CC.

Spencer came to Columbia from Kent State University, where he built a diving power in just two years. A native of Canton, Ohio, he was a three-time state finalist at Canton McKinley High School and attended Indiana University, where he competed under the legendary Hobie Billingsley, and reached the national championships. Spencer later coached at Billingsley’s

diving school.

After his 1977 graduation, Spencer became an assistant diving coach at two Miami high schools. He returned to Kent State in 1981 and earned a master’s degree in athletic administration.

While his Columbia divers have been a deciding factor in many Lion victories, Spencer also has made a name for himself

away from Morningside Heights. In 1991, he was named the Junior Olympic Zone A Coach of the Year.

Spencer is active in the diving scene outside of Columbia. He has served as a judge for the Senior National Diving Championships, and coaches an elite U.S. Diving club comprised of some of the best Junior Olympic divers in the nation. That program consistently produces East Coast champions and national age-group finalists on both platform and springboard. Former Lion standout Daniel Brown ’00CC dove for Spencer’s famed Morningside Heights club team. Most recently, Spencer coached Linus Altman-Kurosaki, a US Junior World team member in 2006, and a diver on scholarship at Indiana University.

Spencer and his wife, Bertica, reside in Morningside Heights. They have one daughter, Caitlin.


Former Southern Illinois swimmer Gustavo Leal is entering

his second season as an assistant coach at Columbia. Prior to

working with the Columbia men’s swimming & diving teams, Leal

spent seven seasons as an assistant to his former head coach,

Rick Walker, for the Salukis.

During his first three years as an assistant coach, Leal helped SIU

win an MVC title in his first year (2002), finish as runner-up in 2003,

and win the first MVC Invitational title in 2004. Leal was a part

of the SIU men’s swimming program for almost a decade, as he

began his collegiate career there as a swimmer in 1998. He was a

key member of the 1999 MVC championship team, swimming on

the championship 200 and 800 freestyle relay teams, earning all-

MVC honors in 1999 and 2000 in both events.

Leal was also named to the 1999 and 2000 MVC Scholar-Athlete

Team. Before coming to SIU, Leal was a two-time National Junior

College Athletic Association (NJCAA) national champion at national

power Indian River Community College in Fort Pierce, Florida.He

earned NJCAA All-American honors eight times in the 100, 200,

500 and 1650 freestyle at Indian River from 1996-98.

Additionally, Leal served as an assistant coach of the Saluki Swim

Club for eight years while coaching at SIU. He graduated from

Southern Illinois in May of 2001, with a degree in management and

marketing; he added a master’s degree in business administration

in May of 2004. Leal is a native of Sao Paulo, Brazil.

ASSISTANT COACH GUSTAVO LEAL


HEAD ATHLETIC TRAINER JIM GOSSETT Jim Gossett is one of the best-known and most highly-honored athletic trainers in the nation. Gossett is in

his 30th year at Columbia, his 24th as head athletic trainer. He administers a staff of seven full-time assistants that works with all 29 Columbia teams and operates modern training facilities on the main campus and at Baker Field Athletics Complex. He has worked with most of Columbia’s teams, but has been particularly identified with football, soccer, fencing, rowing and wrestling.

Gossett has worked with several championship squads, including the men and women’s fencing team, which

won two NCAA championships while he was associated with them. He worked with men’s soccer and wrestling from 1979 to 1983, when they won a combined seven Ivy League titles and made two trips to the Final Four. As a well-known athletic trainer in the New York Metropolitan area, Gossett was selected recently to serve as a spokesperson for Gatorade, Inc., and the National Athletic Trainers Association. His role is to promote healthy practices in order to prevent heat-related illness during the hot weather months, and to serve as a resource,

including on-air interviews, for CBS, NBC, ABC and Fox television affiliates in the New York area. The New York State Board of Regents reappointed Gossett to the State Committee for Athletic Trainers. His five-year appointment is to the State Board for Professions, which regulates athletic trainers in New York State. On the national scene, Gossett was the head athletic trainer for the United States fencing team in the 1991 World University Games in Sheffield, England, and spent three seasons as trainer of the U.S. National Light-weight Crew. He was athletic trainer for rowing at the 1988 Olympic Sports Festival, and for track & field at the

1987 Festival and Pan American Games. He also spent four summers as athletic trainer for the ABCD/Nike basketball camps. Gossett has been frequently honored for his work. In 2004, he was presented the Dan Libera Service Award for outstanding contribution to the Board of Certification, while in 2003, he was honored by the National Athletic Trainers Association with the Most Outstanding Athletic Trainer Award, for which he was nominated and chosen by his peers, and received the All-American Football Foundation’s Outstanding Athletic Trainer Award. Previously, he had been honored by the New York State Athletic Trainers Association with the Thomas J. Sheehan, Sr. Award, its highest honor, and by the Eastern Athletic Trainers Association (EATA) with the Joseph A. Blankowitsch Award. A former president of the EATA, he was further honored with the 1994 Cramer Award for outstanding service, presented by Cramer Products in conjunction with the EATA. Gossett, a native of Indianapolis, attended Indiana State University, graduating in 1978. He joined the Columbia staff in August 1979, shortly after receiving his master’s degree from the University of Arizona. Jim and his wife Dianne, the former director of the Baker Athlet-ics Complex, now manager of Columbia’s famed Nevis Laboratories, live in Ardsley, N.Y., with their 18-year old son, Bryant.

DIRECTOR OF STRENGTH & CONDITIONING TOMMY SHEEHAN

ASSISTANT ATHLETIC TRAINER JUMPEI HARADA Jumpei Harada joined the Columbia training staff in July 2007 as an assistant athletic trainer and works with football, lacrosse, indoor track and men and women’s swimming.

Harada came to Morningside Heights from Pennsylvania State University, where he served as an assistant athletic trainer, working with football for three years. During this time, the Nittany Lions attended two bowl games (FedEx Orange Bowl and Outback Bowl). Previously, Harada also worked as an athletic training intern with the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2004, and as a graduate assistant athletic trainer at the University of Florida for two years. From 2001 to 2002, he was the head athletic trainer for Japan’s Women’s National FID Basketball team, which participated in the World FID Basketball Tournament in Portugal. Harada graduated from the University of Alabama in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in human environmental science with an athletic training certification. In 2004, Harada also received a master’s degree in health and human performance with a focus in athletic training and sports medicine from the University of Florida.

Tommy Sheehan is in his 11th year as a full-time Athletics Department staff member, his ninth as Director of Strength and Conditioning. In that position, he supervises a two-person staff in all aspects of strength and

conditioning for Columbia’s 29 intercollegiate teams. Well-known throughout the strength and conditioning profession, he was asked to produce an instructional

DVD during the past year for the Cleveland Indians, on movement training in an off-season conditioning program. It was shot at the Indians’ Jacobs Field and distributed to the players in the Cleveland system. Sheehan first came to Columbia in the fall of 1990 as a graduate assistant on the football staff, reuniting him with Columbia’s head coach at the time, Ray Tellier. Tellier had originally recruited the Buffalo, N.Y., native when he was head coach at the University of Rochester. Sheehan spent three years on the Columbia staff, and earned a master’s in applied physiology.

He then joined the New York State Police as a physical training instructor before attending the State Police academy and becoming a New York State trooper. He left the police force two years later and returned to Columbia as assistant strength and conditioning coach. He was named Director of Strength and Conditioning in 2001. Sheehan is one of the finest offensive players in the University of Rochester’s gridiron history. An All-American as a junior and senior, he twice earned All-ECAC and all-conference honors. He ranks among the Yellowjackets’ all-time leaders in every receiving category, and topped the list at the completion of his playing career in receiv-

ing yardage for a game (189), season (835), and career (1,982). In 2005, he was inducted into Rochester’s Athletics Hall of Fame. Sheehan, his wife, Dr. Tricia Lipani, and their daughter Guiliana live in Morningside Heights. Dr. Lipani, a former track and field athlete at Columbia, is a psychologist in the hematology department at Columbia University Medical Center.

Lee C. Bollinger became the nineteenth President of Columbia University on June 1, 2002. A prominent advocate

of affirmative action, he played a leading role in the twin Supreme Court cases—Grutter v Bollinger and Gratz v

Bollinger—that upheld and clarified the importance of diversity as a compelling justification for affirmative action

in higher education. A leading First Amendment scholar, he is widely published on freedom of speech and press,

and currently serves on the faculty of Columbia Law School.

From November 1996 to 2002, Bollinger was the President of the University

of Michigan at Ann Arbor, where he had also served as a law professor

and dean of the Law School.

Under Bollinger’s leadership, Columbia launched the largest capital campaign in its history, proposed

its most ambitious campus expansion in more than a century, and received a record number of ap-

plications for its incoming undergraduate class. Committed to ensuring that, from its location in the

nation’s most global city, Columbia excels as a truly global university, he launched a number of new

initiatives that include: the World Leaders Forum, which invites prominent international figures to

the campus to engage in the major issues of our time; the faculty Committee on Global Thought, to

pursue scholarship and generate new curriculum models that help students become better citizens

of the world; as well as new academic partnerships with institutions around the globe.

Long a supporter of the arts, Bollinger created the Columbia Arts Initiative to enhance the role of the

arts across many facets of the student experience and university life. In proposing that the University

invest in long-term growth in upper Manhattan, he has committed to expanding Columbia’s already

extensive civic partnerships that work to improve education, health care and economic opportunity

in West Harlem, Washington Heights and other local New York neighborhoods.

Bollinger is a director of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Washington Post Company, a Governor of the Royal Shakespeare

Company of Great Britain, and a member of the Pulitzer Prize Board. Bollinger is also a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sci-

ences and a member of the American Philosophical Society.

Widely published on legal and constitutional issues involving free speech and press, Bollinger books

include: Eternally Vigilant: Free Speech in the Modern Era; Images of a Free Press; The Tolerant

Society: Freedom of Speech and Extremist Speech in America; and Contract Law in Modern So-

ciety: Cases and Materials. He continues to teach an undergraduate course, “Freedom of Speech

and Press” at Columbia each year.

Bollinger has received the National Humanitarian Award from the National Conference for Com-

munity and Justice and the National Equal Justice Award from the NAACP Legal Defense and

Educational Fund for his leadership on affirmative action. He also received the Clark Kerr Award,

the highest award conferred by the faculty of the University of California, Berkeley, for his service

to higher education, especially on matters of freedom of speech and diversity. He is the recipient

of numerous honorary degrees from universities in this country and abroad.

After graduating from the University of Oregon and Columbia Law School, where he was an Articles

Editor of the Law Review, Bollinger served as law clerk for Judge Wilfred Feinberg on the United

States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and for Chief Justice Warren Burger on the United

States Supreme Court. He joined the University of Michigan Law School faculty in 1973.

Bollinger was born in Santa Rosa, California, and raised there and in Baker, Oregon. He is married

to artist Jean Magnano Bollinger, and they have two children.
