transformative goal we would aspire to achieve.

Furthermore, to earn the reputation as “Silicon Valley’s Business School,” it was essential that we would be responsive to the needs of the business community. While our students are our consumers, our ultimate customers are the future employers of our graduates.

Over the past year we have worked hard to create an applied business curriculum that is supported by, and in harmony with, a strong liberal arts foundation. This past spring we created new majors in accounting, finance and marketing. In developing these new areas, we sought guidance from a variety of stakeholders, both

he beginning of a new academic year always brings excitement, a renewed commitment to our purpose and a great time to glance back at what we have accomplished. Most importantly, however, it is a time to look forward to the work that must be done. This year, without a doubt, ushers in the most exciting time of my tenure at the College. Indeed, the future of Menlo College has never been brighter.

In my first message to the Menlo Community, I spoke of focusing on the four P’s: Purpose, Programs, People, and Physical environment. My charge, upon assuming the presidency in 2007, was to develop Menlo College into a premier business school. To provide focus we adopted the tag line, “Silicon Valley’s Business School.”

To me Silicon Valley is not so much a physical location, but a way of thinking. This was not a boast, but rather a

inside and outside of the College.

The cornerstone of our applied business program will be an internship program that enables our students to gain real world experience while still in school. It will also provide us with opportunities to examine the skill sets of our students and gain valuable insight from companies employing them as interns.

The four P’s: ! Purpose ! Programs ! People ! Physical Environment

Obviously, colleges need a clear purpose and dynamic programs that reflect that vision. But the most important ingredient is the people. We are indeed fortunate to have an outstanding assembly of teacher/scholars. This year alone, we recruited five more outstanding faculty members. Couple this group with a terrific staff and you can see why we are more than just a tiny college: we are a community. This is a comment that I hear time and time again. We are here to support our students and each other. And it shows!

What about the fourth P. . . the physical environment. Can you imagine a better place to spend four years of your life than in the heart of Silicon Valley?

Yes, we have plans down the road for new facilities to house our “Center for Future Learning” and other new programs, centers and institutes. We expect to make changes during the next few years while maintaining our tranquil setting among the tall oaks.

In the meantime, we will continue to recruit and retain outstanding faculty, students and a dedicated staff.

The successful reaffirmation from WASC, the citing by The Princeton Review as one of the “Best in the West,” our all-time high student retention rate, and our ability to flourish in harsh economic times signals that something special is going on at Menlo College. And it will only get better!

Menlo College selected as

“Best in the West”

by The Princeton Review

by Judy Seitelman

M

enlo College, “Silicon Valley’s Business School,” is one of the best colleges and universities in the West according to The Princeton Review. The education services company selected the school as one of 123 institutions it recommends in its “Best in the West” section on its website feature “2010 Best Colleges: Region by Region” that posted July 27, 2009. The Princeton Review reported that “students prize Menlo’s ‘incredible faculty’ and say that ‘the student to teacher ratio is awesome.’ The ‘small class sizes’ and ‘close-knit community’ work in conjunction to ‘provide a unique experience that wouldn’t be possible at a larger university.’”

The Princeton Review website said that it used two primary criteria to select this year’s ‘regional best’ colleges. “First, they had to meet our standards for academic excellence within their region. Second, we had to be able to survey their students anonymously.”

“Menlo College is riding on a positive wave of great news,” said President G. Timothy Haight upon hearing of The Princeton Review recognition. “With our three new majors in accounting, finance, and marketing, reaffirmation of WASC accreditation, plus the addition of several

Says Robert Franek, Princeton Review’s V.P., Publishing, “We chose Menlo College and the other terrific schools we recommend as our ‘regional best’ colleges primarily for their excellent academic programs. We also work to have our roster of ‘regional best’ colleges feature a range of institutions by size, selectivity, character and locale.

We choose the schools based on institutional data we collect from several hundred schools in each region, our visits to schools over the years, and the opinions of independent and high school-based college advisors whose recommendations we invite. We also take into account what each school’s customers—their students—report to us about their campus experiences at them on our 80-question student survey.”

highly qualified—academically and professionally— faculty, we are producing the next generation of business leaders.”

The 123 colleges The Princeton Review chose for this year’s “Best in the West” designations are located in fifteen states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming.

The Princeton Review Best Regional Colleges website states, “We’ve divided the country into four regions and identified 639 colleges that we feel stand out as academically excellent institutions of higher learning.

Some are nationally known, while others have strong regional reputations; together they represent an inclusive cross-section of colleges.”

“

We chose Menlo and the other terrific schools we recommend as our ‘regional best’ colleges primarily for their excellent academic programs.”

The Princeton Review designated 218 colleges in the Northeast, 141 in the Southeast, and 158 in the Midwest as best in their locales on the company’s 2010 Best Colleges: Region by Region section on its site.

that Menlo is “a business school where the professors know my name.” Also, “the professors have been in the business world” and “utilize their real world experiences to support what they are teaching.”

The 640 colleges named “regional best” represent only about 25% (one out of four) of the nation’s 2,500 fouryear colleges.

Because personal attention to students is the focus of academics and campus life, Provost Jim Kelly said he was particularly gratified to read student comments saying that the staff and faculty at Menlo will “go out of their way to help you,” and “make sure you are keeping up with the work” and “want you to do a good job.” Also at Menlo, despite its smaller size, “there is a huge opportunity for networking.”

The Princeton Review does not rank the colleges in its 2010 Best Colleges Region by Region website section.

Here’s a selection of what Menlo College students told The Princeton Review: “they (the professors) know how to interact and connect with their students,” and they work effectively with their small class sizes to “create a deep, discussion-focused environment.” The majority of students attend Menlo for its business program and love

“Put in combination with the recent seven-year reaffirmation of our WASC accreditation, this recognition is further evidence of the high quality of our faculty and the lengths they go to enrich each student’s college experience through their teaching and advising,” said Kelly.

“Our faculty are leaders from industry, academia, and the community, and I am very proud of their outstanding efforts.”

Best in the West, Best on the Gridiron

O

K. S. Bud Adams, Jr., ’42

n a recent August afternoon, President G. Timothy Haight introduced himself to K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr., ‘42, the powerful and enduring owner of the NFL Tennessee Titans.

In a phone interview, Bud Adams shared a number of colorful experiences in football and business. For Menlo’s President, the opportunity to converse with one of the College’s most famous alumni was a privilege, given his own passion for football and business.

Almost immediately, the two men engaged in a discussion about banks and investments, which led the prudent Texan to inquire about the current market value of the K.S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. Scholarship, which he established in 2002. The endowment currently provides valuable support for nearly twenty Menlo students.

The conversation then evolved to the area of professional football.

President Haight admitted he’s an avid, lifelong fan of the Washington Redskins. Mr. Adams laughed knowingly.

President: Mr. Adams, congratulations to the Tennessee Titans for a remarkable season last year!

Bud Adams: Yes, thank you. We lost only three games, and won thirteen.

In the playoffs we drew a bye, and then faced Baltimore. Baltimore knocked us off in Nashville, 13–10, and then they lost to Pittsburgh in the AFC championship game.

President: What do you consider to be the most important ingredients in building a championship team?

8 FALL 20 09

Bud Adams: It’s most important to have a good coach, and what I call a good general manager. The Titans are blessed with both!

Ten years ago, Mr. Adams decided to move the Houston Oilers to Nashville.

Because he had almost 900 employees in multiple corporations throughout Houston, he could not move with his team to Tennessee. In 1999 his team became the Tennessee Titans to coincide with the opening of the new stadium.

Bud Adams: After the first four years in Nashville, I asked Mike Reinfeldt to join Jeff Fisher and me in leading the team.

Success, to me, “ stems from knowing

that you can’t manage multiple organizations by yourself.”

Mike became Executive Vice President and General Manager, and, with Jeff as Executive Vice President and Head Coach, I had great team leadership.

This showed especially during the draft, and that’s why last year we almost made it to the Super Bowl. Our goal, of course this year, is to be in the Super Bowl, and once again, we have the makings of a winning team.

A generous benefactor to many causes, Mr. Adams puts great emphasis on high academic achievement, encouraging his players to complete graduate school. It’s apparent that he respects and hires people who excel in business and finance. Needless to say, Dr. Haight is in total agreement.

Bud Adams: Both Mike Reinfeldt and Jeff Fisher were excellent students in college. Mike, a former All-Pro Safety (1976–83) with the Houston Oilers, attended the University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee. He earned two MBA degrees: one in sports management and the other in finance from Houston Baptist University located in Houston, Texas.

Through the fifty or more years spent running a football franchise, Bud Adams knows that a leader needs to go beyond the responsibilities of the game to keep a team on track. Mr. Adams knows that these superb athletes need an occasional heart to heart talk, lots of common sense and encouragement. When Bud Adams looks at a player, he makes the same tough decisions he makes in the boardroom, the oil field or trucking firm. He is a man who is proud of his team, and deeply involved on a daily basis. He is also part of the lifeblood of the NFL. In addition to his incredible NFL history, in April 2001, along with Warren Buffett, Bud Adams was named by Forbes Magazine as one of the top two “Best Value CEOs.” In March 2009, he made the Forbes “World’s Billionaires” list. In the October 2009 issue of that publication, he was sited on the “Forbes 400 Richest Americans 2009” list.

Mr. Adams’ many activities include farming, ranching, oil, and automobile dealerships, as well as his role as CEO of the National Football League franchise Tennessee Titans.

President: What is the secret to your success as a CEO? Bud Adams: Success, to me, stems from knowing that you can’t manage multiple organizations by your-

Kenneth Stanley “Bud” Adams, Jr., ’42 ntering his 50th year as Founder, Owner, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of the Titans/Oilers NFL franchise, K. S. “Bud” Adams, Jr. is an enduring figure in the National Football League.

As one of the original team owners in the American Football League, he has guided his franchise to new heights posting six playoff appearances, including an AFC Championship (1999), an AFC Central title (2000), two AFC South titles, an AFC Championship appearance, and Wild Card teams.

He is one of only four current NFL owners to reach the 350-win plateau.

self. I have six companies that are all publicly held. Each company has its own President, while I serve as CEO. The key to success is surrounding yourself with talented people.

President: Your leadership is a great source of inspiration for Menlo students. Can you also let our students know about your Menlo College experience?

A native of Bartlesville, Oklahoma, Adams’ interest in sports was first displayed while at Culver Military Academy where he earned letters in football, basketball and baseball. Upon graduation from Culver in 1940, Adams attended Menlo College, lettering in both rugby and football. Adams then transferred to the engineering school at the University of Kansas where he also lettered in football. At KU, Adams met his future wife, Nancy Neville.

In 1942, while still in school at KU, Adams joined the U.S. Naval Reserve. In July 1943, he was sent overseas and was assigned to a PAC-Fleet carrier unit, where he served as an aviation engineering officer. Lt. j.g. Adams was an aide in the U.S. Navy’s Congressional Liaison Office in Washington D.C.

Bud Adams: When I was at Menlo I lettered in football and rugby.

Our schedule included games with Cal and Stanford, and we won the Northern California championship.

It was an exciting time for sports at Menlo. Certainly, some of my fondest memories are from Menlo College.

In 1946, Adams started ADA Oil Company, which was a forerunner of the publicly-held American Stock Exchange-listed Adams Resources & Energy, Inc. (AE), an energy company engaged in the business of marketing crude oil, natural gas and petroleum products; tank truck transportation of liquid chemicals; and oil and gas exploration and production. Adams’ other business interests include extensive farming and ranching in California and Texas, cattle feeding, real estate, automobile dealerships and leasing.

Mr. Adams still has a scrapbook highlighting his time at Menlo, and all of the sports he played. He especially enjoys his rugby clippings, “when we cleaned up California, and won the rugby championship,” he remembers with great pride.

In his fifth decade as founder, owner, chairman, president and CEO of the Tennessee Titans (formerly Houston Oilers and Tennessee Oilers), the hardworking and aggressive Adams has made professional football history numerous times. In 1968, Adams’ Oilers were the dominant team in the American Football League during 1960-69, playing in the championship game four times and winning twice consecutively; earning four AFL Eastern Division Championships; and making the playoffs five years. In 1970, the AFL merged into the expanded NFL. Adams’ teams won the AFC Central division three times; and made the playoffs 16 times.

Bud Adams: ‘Menlo trounced California,’ it says here in the scrapbook.

‘A few minutes into the first half, Kenny Adams intercepted a Cal pass, for a beautiful 30 yard run…the half ended with Menlo leading 6-0… A little later, Adams again ran through the whole Cal team for a repeat 30 yard run, with a dazzling speed, to make the final score, 12-0.’

President: Mr. Adams, we could sure use you now!

Continued on page 20

On August 3rd, 1959, he and Lamar Hunt announced the formation of the new American Football League, which began playing in 1960.

Adams currently works on several prominent NFL committees, including the NFL’s Finance, Hall of Fame, Legislative and Audit Committees; and he is a Trustee for the NFL Trust. Very active in national, state and local programs, Adams is on the Board of Directors of the Cherokee Indian National Historical Society; the Board of Trustees of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio; the Board of Directors of the Boy Scouts of America Sam Houston Area Council; and a Lifetime Director of The Hundred Club in Houston.

In recent years, in addition to the approximately $18 million given to charities in Tennessee as a direct result of Mr. and Mrs. Adams creating the Tennessee Titans Foundation, Adams has made significant personal contributions totaling more than $4.5 million combined, to his favorite charities.

Our Outbound Orientation Retreat focused on team and community building opportunities in a relaxed setting that allowed students an opportunity to meet future colleagues, staff and advisors.

The next day parents and siblings trekked back home to establish a new rhythm at the dinner table and the Class of 2013 caught an early bus to Sonoma County for a two-day “Freshman Outing.” This is the first bonding experience of the 135 member class, from 10 countries, 12 states and the gamut of socio-economic back-

Class 2013 grounds. Their interaction over the next four years will be the subliminal education yin to the classroom yang.

These first few months are a big adjustment period. For some it’s new food, new language, new culture and homesickness. For all it’s about experiencing new responsibilities and syncing up with roommates, classmates and faculty. Shyness quickly dissipates in the intimacy of their newfound Menlo College family.

With students from all corners of the world, they will be exposed to a broad spectrum of beliefs. The sixty units of general education requirement are the foundation of a liberal society. I wish they weren’t called “requirements.”

There is a pejorative inference in the word. Rather, this is the essential knowledge which informs reasoning and gives greater understanding and respect for all beliefs. The goal, under the leadership of our president, Dr. Timothy Haight, is to develop mindful, curious, animated citizens. Side by side with sixty units of general education, Menlo’s accomplished faculty will teach the essential business skills for a job-ready graduate. The next four years will go by in a blink of an eye. Classmates and faculty transform into lifetime friendships. Hopefully one of them will influence your life in a profound way. Welcome to the Class of ’13. See you at graduation.

Serving Up a New Business Menu:

Majors in Accounting, Finance, and Marketing

by James Kelly, Provost and Executive Vice President

I

f you take “new,” blend it with “tried and true” and add a generous dollop of innovative curriculum development and teaching, you’ll have our recipe for extraordinary academic programs.

Menlo students entering in Fall 2009 will have three new majors available to them: accounting, finance, and marketing. Created by the faculty to strengthen and expand the College’s programs in the core areas of business, the majors are built upon extensive curriculum research, competitive analysis, and employment hiring trends. Simultaneously, the management core curriculum has been expanded in the areas of business ethics and organizational behavior to insure that Menlo graduates are well-grounded.

The new programs incorporate the latest innovations in teaching, practice, and research. In setting the course requirements for the new majors, the faculty paid special attention to the curriculum guidelines put forth by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, the foremost accrediting agency in business and accounting.

levels. The Summer 2009 Salary Survey

by NACEWeb (National Association of Colleges and Employers), concludes in a release July 15, 2009, that the average offer to finance and marketing graduates rose 2.9 and 3 percent respectively.

A key innovative element of the new majors is the inclusion of management information systems courses tailored to the specific needs of professionals in each area. Management information systems is a bridge discipline that combines business with technology to enable decision makers to properly use information to solve problems, operate efficiently, and compete effectively.

Rather than taking a general MIS course, students will gain hands-on experiences with the technologies and information systems of greatest value to accountants, finance professionals, and marketing managers. The new majors require 24 credit hours, slightly more than the current concentrations, to insure adequate depth in each field.

Further, optional focused internships will allow students to merge practical experience with classroom learning.

Receiving a “Best in the West” designation by The Princeton Review inspires us to go even further in providing the best possible business education and all-round college experience for our students.

In our last issue, we introduced you to our five new faculty members who are joining us in the new academic year. I hope you’ll learn more about them and our programs by reading the latest article, “New Faces: Five New Faculty Get Down to Business.”

We hope that you’ll join us on campus for the many academic, athletic (Go Oaks!), and cultural events that we regularly host. It is a great opportunity to meet faculty and learn firsthand how Menlo College is preparing future leaders.

Bon appétit!

According to BusinessWeek, in the section called “Finding a Job,” April 8, 2009, “Degrees that provide a job credential, like accountancy, are in greatest demand.” The article also says that accounting, finance, business administration and management majors also saw average salary offers for new graduates rise over 2008 Jim Kelly, right, offers souvenir t-shirts and mementos to alumni at a recent reunion.

News Ben Alamar, Assistant Professor of Management, presented a research talk, “Evaluating Risk in NFL Playcalling,” at the New England Symposium on Statistics in Sports at Harvard University. NFL coaches make at least 1,000 offensive play calls during a season, using their own formulas regarding playcalls. Alamar described a systematic, analytical approach to measuring a play’s outcome in relation to the drive, and an evaluation of whether coaches are irrationally biased in their playcalls. Using playby-play data from the 2005 through 2008 NFL regular seasons, he devised an evaluation system around the concept of expected points, used in baseball for over 40 years and applied occasionally in football for all downs, with no increased risk.

Results confirm previous analysis that teams underutilize the pass.

The expected points framework was applied to every team for each season, to determine the best offenses and defenses (overall and broken down by pass/run) during the time span of 2005-2008.

Douglas M. Carroll, Ed.D., Professor of Mass Communication, completed a research project titled “Commercial Programming at a Single-Sport Cable Channel: Strategies and Practices at Golf Channel.” The emergence of single-sport cable channels represents a refinement of the all-sports cable channel concept, a new trend in the televised sport marketplace.

This study analyzed the contents of 24 hours of programming on Golf Channel to better understand commercial programming strategies and practices. Commercial programming during live tournament coverage was compared to golf telecasts at two broadcast networks and an all-sport 14 FA LL 20 0 9

cable channel. Spot commercials, spot promos, sponsored graphics, pop-up promos, mentions, infomercials, and PSA’s were identified. The study measured three indicators of the amount of advertising presented in the telecast: (1) the number of commercial minutes per hour, (2) the number of advertisements per hour, and (3) the average duration of spot commercials. Results of the study were interpreted in terms of advertising clutter. The paper has been submitted to the International Journal of Sport Communication.

Dr. Stephen Eckstone, Instructor, completed several research projects that served the marketing needs of Colorado College and the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs.

He also contributed articles to the Colorado Springs Business Journal and conducted a series of workshops for the Journal on Business-to-Business advertising.

Kathleen M. Flynn, Director, Writing Tutoring Program, placed third in Writer Advice’s Fourth Annual Flash Prose Contest and will act as a judge in next year’s contest. She has an essay forthcoming in Writer Advice on motherhood and the writing life, as well as a short story in the University of Idaho’s literary journal Fugue.

Dr. Dale Hockstra, Dean of Academic Affairs, presented a paper entitled “Predicting Faculty Needs Using Spreadsheets” at the 2009 Western Decision Sciences meeting in April 2009, showing that staffing needs could be estimated using enrollment data and curricular requirements. As a result, the effect of changing class size limits and faculty teaching loads could be analyzed. The spreadsheet model was developed to satisfy WASC requirements and has been used to develop long-term faculty plans.

Georgetown University in May. The discussion was how the new media are changing the world of marketing and public information. Lowenthal has also been chosen to participate in the upcoming Convergence and Society Conference in November.

Her research explores the influence of new communication technologies on culture, particularly pedagogy.

Her paper at the Convergence and Society Conference will be on the similar topic of textual-orality and its implications for literacy, but the working title has changed to “GenText: Losing Touch in Virtual Reality.”

Marianne Marar, Ed.D., Assistant Professor of Social Science, has written an article, “Dual/Duel Identities: Jordanian Perceptions of Academic Equity,” for Intercultural Education, a global and transnational journal. In it, Marar explores Jordanian university graduates and their perceptions of the question of Palestine and their notions of human rights education.

She is on the editorial board and one of the founding members of Global Ed Review, a peer-reviewed journal which aims to present current issues in education with an empathetic lens.

Professor of Economics, Dr. Craig Medlen’s, paper entitled “Free Cash, the Current Account, and Bubble Creation,” has been accepted at the Association for Evolutionary Economics conference in Georgia in January of 2010. He explores the relationship between corporations’ ability to generate free cash, the lopsided current account and recent speculation in stocks and housing. Medlen argues that portions of recently generated free cash is related to the outsourcing of production and the consequent ability of corporations to generate cash while minimizing investment, particularly in the goodsrelated sectors of the economy. Over the last two decades, foreign saving, consequent on the lopsided current account, could not be absorbed

by a U.S. corporate world beset with its own saving running at a rate of about half a trillion dollars a year. Consequently, excess saving—both domestically grown and imported—flowed towards speculative avenues—in the 1990s in stocks and more recently in housing. The Federal Reserve’s admitted inability to control long term rates is best understood in this abundance of excess global and corporate saving. Medlen will serve on a panel entitled, “Neoliberalism, Markets and Freedom.”

Kate Mills, Instructor, English, is sharing her experience in the nonprofit sector with her composition students, having them write a grant proposal. Mills discusses readings on the history of not-for-profit organizations and grant-offering institutions in America. She indicates that the current recession has resulted in an increase in the number of college graduates majoring in business and finance, who find their first job in the non-profit sector. Business faculty members commented that the skills are identical to the skills the students will need to write business proposals. Mills was pleased that the students were enthusiastic about it, finding the material very relevant to their future careers in business or grant-seeking in general Professor Jean Dupon, Professor of Biology, and Pejmon Sadri, Professor in Mathematics, submitted a publication last summer on the idea that misconceptions in both science and mathematics may be tenuous or robust. Research has shown that tenuous misconceptions can be corrected through explicit and repetitive emphasis of correct ideas.

Interactive lecture demonstrations and carefully selected examples that are analogical to the phenomenon under study have shown success in alleviating misconceptions that are robust.

Misconceptions refer to error in understanding, a major area of concern

in science and mathematics education.

Research suggests that, in mathematics, misconceptions are often caused due to constant demand to connect and translate information presented in various modes of information; i.e., the demand to translate oral, tabular, graphical or pictorial into symbolic information. In science, experiential mode of gathering information makes matters even more complicated, causing misconceptions.

Leslie E. Sekerka, Ph.D. Associate Professor, Organizational Behavior, presented research on “Professional Moral Courage” at the Annual Meeting for the Association for Psychological Sciences in San Francisco, accompanied by two student research assistants, Jacquie Szalata and Hilary Sluis. She spent several weeks at the Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Center for Ethics, Business and Economics, in Lisbon, Portugal, and created an instrument to measure professional moral courage. She was the invited keynote speaker at the conference on Network Ethics: The New Challenge in Business.

Sekerka described her work “Using Network Analyses to Understand Personal Motive Structures that Drive Moral Choices.” She completed a chapter on transformational cooperation for the Handbook of Organizational Culture and Climate and a manuscript for journal publication entitled “Positively Ethical: The Establishment of Innovation in Support of Sustainability.” She is creating methodology for an online protocol to examine the influence of moral courage and social self-conscious emotions in the context of addressing ethical challenges.

Sekerka has been conducting ethics education and training for the U.S. Government, to increase awareness for moral courage in the workplace as a community service and to raise funds for the Menlo Ethics in Action Research and Education Center.

Linda K. Smith, M.S.L.I.S., Associate Dean of Library Services, attended the Hybrid Book Conference at The

University of the Arts in Philadelphia, June 4-6. Her article on the event will appear in the fall 2009 issue of Ampersand, the quarterly journal of the Pacific Center for the Book Arts.

Derek Stimel, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Economics, published two articles: “An examination of U.S. Phillips curve nonlinearity and its relationship to the business cycle” in Economics Bulletin and “A statistical analysis of NFL quarterback rating variables” in the Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports. During summer 2009, he presented an article, “Identifying asset price bubbles with the permanent income hypothesis: An empirical investigation,” with co-author Ryan Brady of the U.S. Naval Academy at the Western Economic Association annual meeting in Vancouver, B.C. The article was presented at a panel entitled “Applied Macroeconometrics,” and Professor Stimel served as a primary discussant on that panel.

Professor of English and Humanities, Dr. Marilyn Thomas’ ten students who joined her on a tour of Italy in May 2009 watched a full moon shine on the water of the canal as they stood on the Bridge of Sighs in Venice. They toured the Doge’s Palace and learned how a democratic form of government helped make a city prosper. From Venice they traveled by bus to Ravenna for a visit to Dante’s tomb, and saw architectural wonders in Assisi, Florence, and Rome. In addition to visiting St. Peter’s Basilica, they toured the Vatican Museum and understood why Michelangelo is still revered as one of the greatest sculptors and painters of all time. Thomas says it’s already time to sign up for next year’s trip, on March 5-14, 2010.

Financial

Literacy

By Donna Little, Associate Professor of Accounting

D

riving down the freeway a few years ago, I noticed a large billboard, sponsored by a local bank, proclaiming, “There is a boat in your house!”

I was still seething when I got to class the following day. I’m sure my students probably thought, “there she goes again,” however we had a lively discussion of the second mortgages lenders were touting to consumers. Fortunately, with our cutting-edge computer teaching labs, I didn’t have to make my point in theory only. The students and I were able to set up spreadsheet models for the loan amortization and the boat depreciation. The numbers told the story.

Using numbers to tell the story has been my focus as a faculty member at Menlo College since 1986. After a fast-paced career in the Silicon Valley beginning in 1973 and culminating in a 1983 IPO, I was fortunate to begin teaching at Menlo upon the birth of my first child. The time had come to shift gears and try to make a difference in the lives of others. Many of my students, while educated in traditional subjects and life-skills, have little or no preparation for making decisions about budgeting, saving, debt, and investing. Notwithstanding, their response to financial literacy has always been enthusiastic. Students not only want to secure their futures, but to assist others in making financial decisions.

Some of the most fulfilling moments OPPOSITE: Donna Little, Associate Professor of Accounting (standing) offers advice to students Katherine Fulp-Allen, Gabriella Giron, and Deborah Black.

of teaching are when students realize the devastating impact of credit card debt or the advantage of early savings. As students are able to advise their family or friends with newfound knowledge, their satisfaction is multiplied.

I have the same leanings when it comes to professional activities and scholarship. Because of Menlo’s Silicon Valley edge in terms of classroom computing, I have been drawn to explore and develop educational content on the web. Early consulting at Yahoo! Finance for education opportunities sparked ideas for online classroom application. This interest has led me to research companies’ use of their Investor Relations web-sites for

a new chapter “in This Menlo’s history of business education.”

public knowledge. Financial literacy definitely includes the ability to access information when making decisions about investing time and money.

This is a new chapter in Menlo’s history of business education. Last year, Menlo established new majors in Accounting and Finance. We are fortunate to have three new highly qualified full-time faculty to teach in the two programs: Dr. Yao Tian in accounting and Dr. Soumendra De and Dr. Jan Jindra in finance. We look forward to their infusion of enthusiasm and expertise. New classes and activities will begin as a result of the college’s commitment to financial education, not the least of which is the newly proposed Menlo College Center for Financial Literacy, under the auspices of the Menlo College Center for Future Learning.

consumers, productive employees, and potential entrepreneurs.

Planned topics include saving, loans, mortgages, stocks, bonds, budgeting, insurance, retirement planning, as well as home ownership. We envision a web-based presence with tutorials, newsletters and guides, as well as a strong community connection through workshops, kiosks and broadcasts. By partnering with local libraries, high schools and other local centers, we can deliver on-campus instruction and events. One of our strongest connections, the Silicon Valley Chapter of the California Society of Certified Public Accountants has enthusiastically endorsed our efforts and offered to partner with us.

A decade later the advertisements for taking equity out of one’s home for boats, vacations and such have largely disappeared, but the need for financial education and vigilance are always with us. As Menlo College celebrates our progress toward becoming a preeminent business college, we acknowledge our desire to spread financial literacy beyond our institution into the greater community.

We envision that the Menlo College Center for Financial Literacy will provide free educational opportunities that support learners in their roles as

Anyone can be an Entrepreneur

by Leslie K. Williams, Ph.D., Director, The Center for Entrepreneurship, Associate Professor of Business

T

hough it probably comes as no surprise, entrepreneurship is a major contributor to economic growth—generating wealth, innovations, new enterprises, and jobs in our economy. What may come as a surprise is that just about anyone can be an entrepreneur.

All it takes is a great idea, a bit of creativity, tenacity, and the right mentoring environment. This is the philosophy of the new Center for Entrepreneurship at Menlo College.

Working with our Silicon Valley partners, we’re developing programs to provide our students with the entrepreneurial skills to transform their good ideas into thriving new business ventures.

In order to give students a hands-on experience with business creation, we’ve added Launching the Venture to the curriculum. In this capstone course, students work in teams to plan and run a for-profit business.

The teams are given a small startup loan from the College for seed capital. Then, over the course of a semester they will brainstorm market opportunities and assess their potential, then develop, launch, manage, and ultimately liquidate the business. The students are

actively engaged throughout the semester—taking risks, testing ideas, solving problems, building things, seeing if they work, examining why they don’t, earning profits, realizing losses, but most importantly, gaining a handson understanding of the outcomes achieved. We continue to run the popular Business Plan Competition, which has a multi-year tradition of success at Menlo. To kick-start the entrepreneurial spirit, we’ve even added a mini Business Plan Competition to the First-Year Experience, a series of courses and activities in which all freshman participate.

The Center has also developed a variety of other programs for current and prospective students. Students who are passionate about an idea or business concept can apply to Start-Up U. Start-Up U accepts a limited number of students who have businesses they want to launch or grow while earning their college degrees. Through the program, students will be able to use their business for course-related projects and internships, integrating their degree requirements and classroom commitments with their own business’ development, effectively “earning credits” for establishing and running their business venture.* For students with a great idea and willingness to do the work, the Center will provide an “incubator” to help them grow and access to a network of successful entrepreneurs and mentors with technical, operational, and managerial expertise.

Each year, the Center for Entrepreneurship will offer a small number of undergraduate science and engineering students from around the world the opportunity to study entrepreneurship in the Silicon Valley. The exchange students will work with our business students in a year-long program that blends both traditional and hands-on learning environments. The international exchange program will provide participating students with a rare opportunity to benefit from a diversity of disciplinary and cultural perspectives, which have been shown to enrich such collaborations and often lead to more creative, relevant, and pragmatic outcomes.

Finally, the Center is launching an Entrepreneurship Boot Camp for high-school students to explore the link between creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. In a fun and action-packed two weeks, students will attend mini courses and field trips, design and build prototypes, and investigate a variety of business models. The curriculum, which focuses on creativity, risk-taking and action, will be taught by distinguished faculty and seasoned entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurship does not have to be complex. Nor does it necessarily require patents and the licensing of technology. As a business college, our innovative outputs tend to cluster around information, knowledge, and human capital. Through innovative initiatives the Center for Entrepreneurship is positioning itself to help entrepreneurial students and faculty turn these assets into the types of sustainable enterprises society values. *Start-Up U is a co-curricular program.

Students only earn credits for course work, not starting a business venture.

Included in his scrapbook is a picture of his Glee Club trio.

Bud Adams: We formed a trio with Mrs. William Kratt as Director. She recruited me. In the picture are Don Ross, Doug Janning and myself.

I was secretary and Don, who played football too, was president. Now, can you imagine me in the Glee Club?

President: Well, you know Mr. Adams, I thought the most famous group to come out of Menlo was the Kingston Trio, but maybe I’m wrong. Mr. Adams, I can’t tell you how much I have enjoyed this. Two weeks ago, I spoke at great length with another Menlo College alum, Bob Lurie (former owner of the San Francisco Giants), about baseball, and now this is truly a treat listening to you. I could do this for days. This should be a great year for you, and you’re actually going to be playing the San Francisco 49ers in November.

How do you think the Titans will do this year?

Bud Adams: What I expect them to do? I think our selections were strong enough that we have a lot to look forward to.

President: Mr. Adams, we’re obviously very appreciative of everything you’ve done for us and we’re very proud of you. I’d really like to thank you for allowing us to feature your accomplishments, and I’m hoping to see you on November 8th. Go, Titans!

Bud Adams: Yes! We’d like to have you sit in our box.

Newly Appointed Trustee of Kamehameha Schools

in early August, and he provided his insights into this new appointment.

Micah Kane, SBA’87, Trustee of Kamehameha Schools

“Menlo was a big part of my life.”

By Tina Fairbairn, Director of Advancement Services and the Annual Fund

M

icah Kane, SBA ‘87, chairman of the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands since 2003, was appointed trustee of Kamehameha Schools. Governor Linda Lingle made the following announcement on July 17, 2009: “I’m very happy that Micah has been selected as a Kamehameha Schools trustee. I have worked closely with Micah for the past 11 years, and have watched him develop into one of Hawaii’s finest and most respected leaders.

“He has the skills and experience, combined with the heart and compassion, to serve as a trustee of this valued organization that is of such great importance to Hawaiians and non-Hawaiians alike.

“I am confident that Micah will do an outstanding job carrying out the will of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop in overseeing the governance of Kamehameha Schools, which is among the most important institutions for perpetuating Hawaiian culture for future generations while preparing Hawaiian students for the 21st century.”

“It gives me the opportunity to be in an environment of a community building people, and it’s an honor to give back. I’m excited with the opportunity.“ The selection process was a traditional executive search, independent of the Governor, and independent of Kamehameha Schools, and conducted through a process of the probate court, and Kane, a Kamehameha graduate, was named by Probate Judge Colleen Hirai to a five-year term starting Sept. 1.

His scope of responsibilities includes the duty of managing assets of the trust. The Estate of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, the last of the Hawaiian alibi, includes trusts lands set aside as resources to educate native Hawaiian children, and the Trustees administer those funds for their education. Kamehameha Schools, founded in 1883 by Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop as a nonprofit trust, operates schools on Oahu, Maui and the Big Island for more than 6,700 students of Hawaiian ancestry. It is the state’s largest private landowner with more than 360,000 acres.

“Native trusts function within a broader community, so if we perform at a high level, it impacts the whole community,” says Kane. The trusteeship is a part-time position, and after twelve years serving in the administration of Governor Lingle, including seven years in the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, Kane is looking forward to time with his family and a vacation with “time off to understand the Kamehameha Institution, and then re-engage with the business community.”

Micah is a 1987 graduate in business from Menlo College, and he also received an MBA in 1991 from the University of Hawaii.

“Menlo College was a big part of my life. Due to the multi-ethnic community I experienced there, I was prepared well for graduate school. In addition to the great professors, I remember Coach Ray Solari, (my football coach) a coach of life, whose teachings apply to what he’s doing. Players used his blueprint for the future. I was lucky to play under him. Every week he gave us a thought to help us live our lives. I can’t wait for Ray’s book! I’m looking forward to the next chapter in my life and a chance to give.”

A LUMNI REL ATIONS

Reconnect

By Michelle Pualuan, Director of Alumni Relations

009 may be the year of the ox in the Chinese calendar, but at Menlo College, it’s the year of the Alumni. Alumni who attended Menlo during every decade as far back as the 1930s and as recent as the 2000s returned to campus to mingle with their fellow alumni and learn about new developments at the college.

President G. Timothy Haight and his wife Ann hosted reunions in their garden, beginning with a reunion for the Classes of 1959 and earlier.

The Honorable Richard “Dusty” Rhodes ’41 represented the oldest Menlo Class in attendance while Jeffrey Gale ’59, journalist and former syndicated radio talk show host, represented the youngest class. The alumni who were there told treasured stories about former Menlo College Director Judge Russell, and our own Alumni Relations Director Emerita, Dorothy Skala shared cold case files.

On a sunny day in May, alumni from the Classes of 1971 to 1980 celebrated with staff and emeriti professors Jan Dykstra and Al Brokes along with former SBA Dean Jim Good, Former Football Coach Ray Solari, and former Provost Gene Bales. This reunion saw the first women graduates in attendance including Katherine (Brown) Alves ’71, the first woman to graduate Menlo College, as well as former Alumni Association Presidents Frances Mann-Craik ’76 and Suzette Towler-Petito ‘75.

The reunion for the Classes of 1960 –1970 was festive with a special opportunity for President and Mrs. 22

FALL 20 09

Haight to host a three-generation Menlo College family: Carlton Woodard ‘41, Kim Woodard ‘65, and Trustee Andy Woodard ‘89. Also attending was Trustee Charles “Chop” Keenan ’66 and well as other 1966 alumni Karl Buder, David Nelson, Donald Grimes and Gary Brant. Vintage SBA t-shirts were passed out by staff members and a group photo commemorated this wonderful occasion.

Reunion activities concluded with the recent September gathering for the Classes of 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004 and 2009. The newest group of alumni to graduate from Menlo—the Class of 2009—met many members of the Class of 1989. The twelve 1989 graduates in attendance were Daisy Borba, Dominic Pai-Fu Chang, Martin Delfino, Anne Heaton-Dunlap, Darayn Hickingbotham, David Hong, Alison and Michael McCrary, Glenn Nielsen, Rosalie Palano, Scott Perry, John Rohrer, Gabrielle Sims, and Trustee Andy Woodard.

President G. Timothy Haight who opened up the field for over 30 alumni to play an exciting soccer match against one another. The Tournament Committee, composed of Enrique Ybarra ‘91, Karl Buder ‘66, John Rooke ‘88, Rob Sluis ‘84, Martin Delfino ‘89, Victor Rico Gutierrez ‘09, Carol (Arguero) Hague ‘93, Alex Parr ‘82, Daniel Regas ‘89, and former Menlo soccer coach Len Renery, dedicated a tree in front of Michaels Hall to Carlos López. Everyone looks forward to a fantastic 2nd Annual Señor Carlos López Memorial Soccer Tournament, September 18, 2010.

With so many alumni activities going on, it seems fitting to announce the launch of the Menlo College Alumni Reconnect Project.

t could have ended much sooner, Nate Jackson’s football career.

He could have picked his fantasy football team instead of being on yours. The aches and bruises that showed when he woke up to begin another day of training camp with the Cleveland Browns would still be there, but they would be below the surface and you wouldn’t see them.

Nate Jackson is more than a football player, but it is because of his determination as much as his ability that he still is a football player–the greatest Menlo College has ever produced.

Recurring themes are a part of every life, and at each step of Nate Jackson’s football life he has had a chance to let it end. So was the case when Jackson was released by the Denver Broncos, a team he had spent the previous six years with, last February and remained unsigned until late August. He was an overachiever already and nobody would have blamed him for walking away having accomplished more than anyone expected as he took each step up the ladder. But that isn’t how an athlete cut from the team as a sophomore at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo learned to excel. It isn’t how he became a record-setting wide receiver at Menlo College from 1999-2001 and one of just a handful of former Division III players to make an NFL roster in recent years. That’s not Nate Jackson.

“It was difficult,” Nate Jackson said about his six-month wait for a new team to come calling. “I felt like I had a lot of good football left in me and when I was released it left a bad taste in my mouth. I know being cut is part of the NFL, but it didn’t sit well with me. I had a chip on my shoulder and used that as

motivation. I was anxious and antsy and ready for something to happen.”

It was after being cut at Cal Poly that Jackson first saw his football career flash before his eyes. Returning home to San Jose to attend his alma mater Pioneer High’s homecoming game, Jackson asked high school coach Myron Zaccheo where he could play football and what he had to do to make it happen. Zaccheo suggested Menlo College, and thanks in large part to current Oaks Head Coach Fred Guidici, who was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at the time, Jackson made his gridiron return in Atherton.

“When I was cut at Cal Poly it was a life-changing experience for the better because it led to my decision to go to Menlo, which was the best decision I ever made,” said Jackson. “Everything changed for the better for me.

It turned me from a boy into a man and there’s nothing I could have done better than go to Menlo.”

Jackson’s on-field exploits personified his experiences at Menlo during his three years on campus. Teaming with standout quarterback Zamir Amin, Jackson caught 261 passes for 3,976 yards and 43 touchdowns while being named a two-time First Team AllAmerican. In both 2000 and 2001 he led all NCAA Div. III players in receptions per game and receiving yards per game. Jackson remains among the leaders in five career receiving categories and appears six times in three single-season lists at the Div. III level while ranking seventh all-time in career receptions per game (9.0) and sixth in career receiving yards per game (137.1) among the NCAA as a whole.

Both Jackson and Amin were inducted into the Menlo College Athletics Hall of Fame on Oct. 2 as part of the Oaks homecoming festivities. It was the

first Menlo homecoming during which Guidici was in charge of the Menlo football program, a point on which Jackson effervesces.

“It’s about time Fred has the job,” said Jackson. “Nobody is more qualified. Nobody will do a better job.

Nobody has more integrity. Nobody will work better with the players.

He’s been (at Menlo) so long, and he understands the game and the Division III level. He understands the kids and how to relate to them better than anybody. I think he’s going to do a great job and he absolutely deserves it.”

Even though Jackson doesn’t find himself suiting up for the Browns on Sundays this fall, he will find a way to determine his future and his fate.

On the football field he should have an opportunity to play in the upstart United Football League for the Las Vegas Locomotives, who own Jackson’s league rights, when he returns from a recurring leg injury. Off the field he is the same person that has willed his way to success on it.

“There is a fine line and it’s a delicate process,” said Jackson of balancing his focus on the present versus the future. “You don’t want to get too far ahead of the next step. You work hard to get where you want to be, but you can’t let things get too far into the future. But I do have a lot of interests outside of football that I’m excited about and would like to pursue.”

But for now Jackson knows where his focus is.

“I want to keep playing and know I can help a team,” Jackson added. “As long as my body feels good I’ll keep playing.”

Yes, Nate Jackson will keep playing.

Y

ou can count victories, conference titles and All-Americans on your fingers or toes many times over to get a sense of the success Menlo College Athletics enjoys on the fields of play each year. However, the true impact Oaks student-athletes make can only be measured by looking inside the classroom and around the community. Throughout the 2008-09 school year, Menlo student-athletes upheld the school’s tradition of winning in every facet of their lives, raising the bar for Oaks in the future.

When the Oaks suited up for competition in 2008-09 they won over 100 team contests while honors rained down on the student-athletes and coaches. These honors included 45 All-Conference selections, 29 Conference players of the week, 12 All-Americans, nine All-Region selec32

FALL 20 09

These numbers only take on more meaning when one considers the success Menlo’s student-athletes had in the classroom and the responsibilities they held on campus, as well as in the community. The Oaks continue to leave their mark on the local community by providing a helping hand to those who need it most. Each of the Oaks 12 athletic programs does its part throughout the school year to help in the Peninsula communities that give so much to Menlo College.

Menlo student-athletes aim to build inspiring relationships and become positive role models by instilling knowledge and encouragement to children and teens in the surrounding communities. This school year alone, Oaks athletics donated thousands of pounds of food through Cans Across America and by catching 125 pounds of fish, each in a single day; raised money for the Autism Society of America at its Hoops for a Cause Basketball Academy; spent time each week with school-age children at the Boys & Girls Clubs of America and through the Bay Area Women’s Sports Initiative; raised cancer awareness with softball’s Strikeout Cancer event; and participated in Relay For Life, which was hosted on campus.

The campus community benefits from the roles played by Oaks studentathletes nearly as much as the outside community does. Over the school year many important positions in the Men-

lo Student Government Association were held by student-athletes while a number of resident assistants also participated in Oaks athletics. Nine of the 13 members of the SGA were athletes, including SGA President Monique Cabrera (women’s wrestling), while half of the 14 resident assistants played sports.

First and foremost, Menlo studentathletes must do their part to succeed in the classroom if they want to have any chance of suiting up for the navy and white in athletic competition. These achievements were put on display during Menlo’s Spring 2009 Honors Convocation and again at Commencement. Jordan Long (football) led eight Oaks athletes who graduated with honors as the college’s valedictorian. Long was joined by twin brother Chris (football), Kyle Adams (men’s basketball), Nick Berry (men’s wrestling), Kelci Fushikoshi (women’s basketball), Megan Gray (women’s soccer), Jerrod McGrew (baseball) and J’aime Sage (women’s wrestling). In all, 12 athletes received special scholarships or awards at the Honors Convocation even though only two of the awards factored in athletic accomplishments as part of their criteria; the Dean’s List featured 62 student-athletes.

The role of Menlo student-athletes on campus, as well as in the community, is only strengthened each year by what Oaks past and present have been able to accomplish in every aspect of their lives. The commitment student-athletes and staff show throughout each year will build stronger relationships on campus and around the community, playing an integral role in helping Menlo College reach new heights.

ix former Menlo College student-athletes were selected to enter the Menlo College Athletics Hall of Fame by the Selection Committee at the athletic department’s Ninth Annual Golf Tournament & Fundraiser in April. The Inductees of 2009 include football standout Mark Speckman, who was born without hands and travels the country as a motivational speaker; Heather Hoffman-Galuteria, the first ever women’s basketball inductee; record-breaking football pass-andcatch combo Zamir Amin and Nate Jackson; Brooke Richardson, the only volleyball player to have her jersey retired; and former PGA Tour golfer Al Geiberger.

The six-member group was inducted during Menlo’s Homecoming festivities on Oct. 2–3, at the Oaks football game versus Northwest Conference foe Linfield. This year’s group raised the number of inductees to 140 with the number of football players or coaches in the Menlo College Athletics Hall of Fame to 59. Geiberger is the seventh golf hall of famer and Richardson the sixth volleyball choice.

Mark Speckman With so many accomplished individuals among the class one wonders where to begin. Mark Speckman’s inspirational story, however, separates the one-time Oaks linebacker from the rest of the 2009 pack, if ever so slightly. Despite being born without any hands, Speckman overcame the perceived handicap to play his way into the starting lineup at Menlo, where he excelled for two years (1972-74). After transferring from the junior college to Azusa Pacific University, he was named an Honorable Mention All-American in 1976.

Speckman joined the coaching ranks after wrapping up his playing career, eventually landing at Willamette University. Over the past 11 seasons he has accumulated a 63-48 record as the Bearcats head coach, including an 11-1 mark, No. 4 final ranking in the D3football.com Poll and Northwest Conference title in 2008. Speckman the coach has followed the same trailblazing path he set as a player, coaching the first female college football player and becoming one of the founding experts of the fly offense.

In addition to his coaching duties, Speckman spends time each year giving motivational speeches across the country. Speckman’s inspirational story has reached corporate giants such as Nike and Blue Cross, middle schools, high schools, youth organizations, church groups, law enforcement, legal and medical professionals.

Heather Hoffman-Galuteria Heather Hoffman-Galuteria’s (19982002) induction may start a new trend of women’s basketball players joining the hall of fame. HoffmanGaluteria was one of the program’s first recruits, played on the Oaks inaugural team and helped them to their first NAIA Tournament appearance in 2000. As a senior, HoffmanGaluteria was named First Team All-California Pacific Conference to wrap up a record-setting career.

She remains in Menlo’s career top 10 in free throw percentage, games started, field goals, steals, 3-point field goals and rebounds. HoffmanGaluteria helped the Oaks to four consecutive Cal Pac Tournament Continued on page 34

appearances as the program established itself as one of Menlo’s finest.

Zamir Amin The inclusion of quarterback Zamir Amin (1999-2001) and wide receiver Nate Jackson (1999-2001) was a foregone conclusion by the time the duo graduated from Menlo. During the 2000 and 2001 seasons the tandem put Menlo football on the map, setting national records as the Oaks earned their highest national ranking ever. Amin still holds the all-time NCAA record for passing yards in a game with 731 against California Lutheran in 2000 when he led NCAA Div. III in total yards for the season.

Entering last season, Amin was ranked in the top 10 in ten different game, season and career categories at the Div. III level while among the top 30 in the NCAA in six categories.

The star signal-caller closed out his career by being named an AllAmerican in 2001 with a vise grip on Menlo’s passing records.

Jackson played a key role in Amin’s success—and vice versa—as the main recipient of the quarterback’s tight spirals. As a wide receiver, Jackson was a two-time All-American before spending the last six years as a tight end with the National Football League’s Denver Broncos. In addition to a number of school records, Jackson led all NCAA Div. III players in receptions and receiving yards per game in both 2000 and 2001. He ranks in the top 15 in twelve different game, season and career receiving categories in the Div. III record books while coming in at 6th in career receiving yards per game and 7th in career receptions per game for all NCAA players.

Brooke Richardson If Brooke Richardson’s (1999-2001) dominance on the volleyball court wasn’t enough to convince everyone that she’d eventually earn a spot in the hall of fame, the fact that she is the first and only player in program history to have her jersey retired definitely foreshadowed the inevitable.

Richardson was huge in the middle for

the Oaks, earning First Team All-Cal Pac honors all three years at Menlo and setting a number of school records. As a senior, Richardson set the top single-season marks in kills, attempts, solo blocks and total blocks, and still holds career records in solo and total blocks by a wide margin.

Richardson is in the top 10 in seven career categories and appears nine times in the single-season records lists.

Al Geiberger Al Geiberger (1955-57) was the first member of the 2009 Inductees to leave his mark on the Menlo campus.

Geiberger starred on the links for two years as an Oak before moving on to the University of Southern California and a successful career on the PGA and Senior PGA Tours. During his professional career, Geiberger won 11 PGA Tour events, including the 1966 PGA Championship, and 10 Senior Tour competitions. Geiberger was twice a member of the United States Ryder Cup team and was the first person to ever shoot a round of 59 at a PGA event, which remains the lowest ever.

Athletics News and Notes Sisters Katherine and Sara Fulp-Allen each finished third in their respective weight classes at the 2009 United States World Team Trials in May. Katherine, a senior at Menlo, and Sara, a 2007 graduate, earned spots on the 2009-10 U.S. National Team by finishing in the top three at the event. In April, Katherine finished second in the 51 KG weight class at the U.S. Nationals after winning the Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Association National Championship in the same division in January, and the WCWA Wrestler of the Year award.

Matt Davis was hired in July to take over the men’s basketball program just two weeks after former coach Brandon Laird departed for an assistant’s role at UC Davis. Davis was Laird’s top assistant in his first year on the Oaks staff in 2008-09 and brings more than two decades of coaching experience to his new role. Prior to arriving at Menlo, Davis spent 13 years as an assistant coach at American River College in Sacramento and coached at the prep level for 10 years. Laird compiled a 41-41 record in three seasons leading the Oaks and led the 2007-08 team to a California Pacific Conference title and a berth in the NAIA National Championships.

Former University of San Diego standout Ben Quinto has joined the baseball coaching staff as an assistant under second-year head coach Matt Daily.

Quinto led his alma mater to back-to-back conference titles prior to graduating in 2003 and later started at shortstop for the Philippine National Team.

His coaching experience includes a recent stint with the White Rock Tritons, a youth team that competes in the British Columbia Premier Baseball League.

The women’s basketball team was named a 2008-09 NAIA Scholar Team for its accomplishments in the classroom during the last academic year. It finished with a team GPA of 3.17 and was one of 837 teams honored by the NAIA. Eligibility for the award is contingent upon the team attaining a GPA of 3.0 with every player maintaining eligibility. The honor capped a successful first year in charge for head coach Shannon Osborne, who led the Oaks to a 19-8 record (12-4 in the Cal Pac) and second place in the conference.

A pair of Menlo College softball players were named to the Louisville Slugger/National Fastpitch Coaches Association NAIA All-West Region First Team in May. Designated player Courtney Emry and second baseman Alisha Vegas were named to the 16-player team as Menlo was one of four schools to have multiple players selected. Emry was a unanimous First Team All-Cal Pac selection after leading the Oaks with 19 RBI’s while Vegas was a Second Team AllCal Pac selection and stood out defensively.

Menlo College Athletics’ brightest stars were honored at the department’s awards ceremony in April with Robert Davis (Men’s Wrestling) and Kelci Fushikoshi (Women’s Basketball) named Men’s and Women’s Athlete of the Year, respectively. Other award winners included Men’s Wrestling’s Gary Nelson (Glen E. Dorst Award), Women’s Wrestling’s Monique Cabrera (F. Philler Curtis Award) and Men’s Basketball’s Chris Cobb (Don W. Baer Award). Receiving coaches’ awards were: Jerrod McGrew (Baseball), Chris Cobb (Men’s Basketball), Leah Manning (Women’s Basketball), Sean Weeks and Katherine Fulp-Allen (Cross Country), Mike Sacco (Football), Mark Mizoguchi (Golf), Victor Rico (Men’s Soccer), Miranda Zumbahlen (Women’s Soccer), Angela Woerz (Softball), Brittany Sudduth (Volleyball), Sabas Cruz (Men’s Wrestling) and Jacquelyn Davis (Women’s Wrestling).
