THIS IS

STEVENSON UNIVERSITY

As Maryland’s third-largest independent university, Stevenson serves more than 4,000 students pursuing bachelor’s, master’s, and adult undergraduate degrees in the classroom and online. Founded in 1947 as Villa Julie College, the University is committed to providing a career-focused education and to offering programs that ensure our students’ success in an increasingly dynamic job market.

TWO DISTINCTIVE CAMPUSES

The University’s original campus, the 60-acre wooded Greenspring Campus in Stevenson, Md., is surrounded by horse farms and estate homes yet is just 12 miles from downtown Baltimore. Home to Stevenson’s modern science laboratories, video and art studios, art gallery, 350-seat theatre, meditation center, and the University Archives, the Greenspring Campus is an academic and cultural hub of the University community.

The ever-evolving Owings Mills Campus offers 13 residence halls, both suite- and apartment-style; a student community center; a contemporary dining complex; the Brown School of Business and Leadership; the Francis X. Pugh Mock Trial Courtroom; and the Office of Career Services. The Owings Mills Campus also includes the Caves Sports and Wellness Center, which features a 60,000-square-foot gymnasium, and the University’s 3,500-seat

Mustang Stadium, where football is played. The new sprawling Owings Mills East complex includes a field hockey surace with surronding track, grass fields for soccer and baseball/ softball fields at Stevenson’s newest athletics complex. Adjacent to the Owings Mills Campus is the University Owings Mills North campus. The School of Design opened at the Owings Mills North Campus in time for the fall 2013 semester. The Kevin J. Manning Academic Center, housing the School of the Sciences, opened in the fall of 2016.

STEVENSON IS CAREER-FOCUSED

The University imbues its emphasis on career throughout the educational experience, from coursework to experiential learning. In addition to providing students with a quality liberal arts education, the University also stays true to its tagline, “Imagine Your Future. Design Your Career.” Stevenson graduates gain the

knowledge and skills that they can apply to not just their first job or graduate course but also carry with them throughout their lives.

This promise is made explicit through the Career ArchitectureSM model, which carefully mentors students through a process of learning who they are within a framework of theory, practice, and mentoring. Stevenson has historically high job and graduate school placement rates for its students, helping them find success by starting their careers or by entering graduate school for continuing their education. In 2013, the Maryland Career Development Association (MCDA) recognized the impact of the Career Architecture process by awarding Stevenson with its annual MCDA Organizational Career Planning Award. This award recognizes an institution that has developed an excellent program for career development within the organization.

ADMINISTRATION

BRETT ADAMS

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

The first full-time Athletic Director in Stevenson’s (formerly known as Villa Julie College) history, Adams’ arrival coincided with the Mustangs’ leap to NCAA Division III at the start of the 1994-95 academic year. That year, Adams inherited an 8-team department, quickly added three sports, and subsequently oversaw the 11-sport department and committed himself to growth in order to provide students with the opportunity to compete.

Since then, Stevenson has added 18 more sports and now boasts 29 intercollegiate teams with the addition of football (2011), women’s ice hockey (2012-13), men’s and women’s swimming (2014-15), women’s beach volleyball (2015-16), men’s ice hockey (2016-17), acrobatics & tumbling (2022), and most recently men’s beach volleyball (fall 2022). The first ten years, the University athletic department operated as an independent playing the toughest teams in the region to try and acquire an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. In 2000, the women’s soccer team received the school’s first NCAA bid and advanced to the “sweet sixteen.” In order for the department to continue their progressive advancement in athletics, Adams played a major role in launching the North Eastern Athletic Conference (NEAC), serving as the first chairman of the Athletic Directors’ Committee and as the Executive Committee’s chairman from 2004-06. In its three years in the conference, Stevenson won the conference’s President’s Cup all three seasons. Adams’ men’s basketball team that he coached in 1995-96 was the first men’s team at SU to be selected to the NCAA tournament receiving an at-large bid and advancing to the second round. His 1996-97 team became the first SU team to record backto-back NCAA bids as they won the automatic bid that winter.

In addition, Adams spearheaded the Mustangs’ move from the North Eastern Athletic Conference (2004-07) and the Capital Athletic Conference (2007-11) to its current membership in the Middle Atlantic Conferences where Adams served as the Chair of the Athletic Directors Board from 2018-2021. He also was instrumental in the founding of the Continental Volleyball Conference for the men’s volleyball team, the Colonial Hockey Conference (CHC) for women’s ice hockey, and the United Collegiate Hockey Conference (UCHC) for both men’s and women’s ice hockey.

In five seasons in the CAC, the Mustangs won conference championships in men’s lacrosse (2010), women’s soccer (2010) and men’s golf (2011). In the CHC and in the CVC, the Mustangs earned conference championships both in 2016.

Overall, under Adams’ direction, the Mustangs have earned 45 NCAA Tournament invitations including several “Elite Eight” bids, four “Final Four” appearances (three in men’s lacrosse 2009, 2010, 2012, and in one men’s indoor volleyball 2016), and one National Championship (men’s lacrosse 2013). The Mustangs also boast an individual national champion with Patrick Watson winning the 2019 NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships.

MUSTANGS RELY ON LEDFORD’S VERSATILITY, POSITIVE ATTITUDE

By Steve Jones

When the Stevenson football team takes the Mustang Stadium field for today’s Homecoming matchup against FDU-Florham, Mason Ledford will be involved in every offensive play.

Throughout Ledford’s five-year Stevenson career, he has contributed in several important areas. While taking a limited number of snaps as the Mustangs’ backup quarterback, the senior has been a mainstay on Stevenson’s special teams. He has served a critical purpose as the Mustangs’ holder on extra-point attempts and placekicks. On the sidelines, Ledford relays every offensive play call to starting quarterback Ryan Sedgwick.

“Every snap involves a signal, and the signals evolve as their own special language,” Stevenson head coach Ed Hottle said. “The signals, and the extra points and field goals, are super important to this team.”

Ledford’s teamwork with junior placekicker Brody Campbell is evident. Since the tandem began working together during the 2019 season, Campbell has converted 107 of 117 extra-point attempts and kicked 15 field goals in 20 tries. Much of the credit for Campbell’s success goes to Ledford, who held for placekicks at Easton High School and has filled that same role at Stevenson for the past five seasons.

“It’s an aspect of the game that’s sometimes overlooked,” Ledford said. “But I take a lot of pride in doing it. Each of those kicks plays a big part in the game, whether it’s an extra point or field goal. A lot of times, it’s the difference in the game.”

It’s also a job that requires precision and a keen sense of timing. The center, holder, and placekicker work during each practice to make sure that they are ready for what often are turning points in Saturday’s game.

“During practice, we have three full periods of field goal and extra point work,” Ledford explained. “We will work kick after kick from different hash marks, with different senses of urgency. We will have a ten-second rundown where we’ll run from the sideline. It’s just repetition, but after doing it for so long it does feel like it comes easy. And it builds trust between the three of us.”

When Ledford first arrived on campus in 2018, the program was just a year removed from its 2016 Middle Atlantic Conference championship and NCAA Division III Tournament appearance.

“You come in with a very optimistic outlook on playing time,” said the Easton, Md. resident. “My freshman year was good, and I got into the backup (quarterback) spot.”

But two developments during the 2019 season made an impact. Ledford was hampered by leg injuries. The arrival of Ryan Sedgwick, who transferred from Frostburg State and has set several single-season and career records as the Mustangs’ starting quarterback for the past four years, signaled a course change in Ledford’s career.

But Sedgwick’s ascendancy to the starting quarterback spot and his subsequent success didn’t change Ledford’s commitment to Stevenson.

“There were definitely a few weeks where some deep thought went into everything that was going on,” Ledford said. “Ultimately, I thought about why I came here. It was the mindset of the coaches, the reputation of the program, and the team-oriented goals. It’s not about you, but it’s about the guy next to you and the guy next to him. I sat back and thought ‘what can I do to make this team be the best it can be?’ Having a positive outlook was what I could do to make it happen.”

Ledford’s decision to stay impressed his head coach. “He’s very unique in that he didn’t pack up and transfer,” Hottle said. “He showed maturity, patience, and a commitment to the program.”

Ledford had come to Stevenson after a standout career at Easton (Md.) High School, During the recruitment process, Ledford and his best friend, current Stevenson wide receiver Brandon Booze, were looking at several of the same colleges.

“When we came here for our overnight, we met the coaches, watched practice, and toured all of the facilities,” Ledford recalled. “(Stevenson) stood out among all of the schools we were looking at. It was kind of an easy decision to give Coach Hottle the call and say that I was ready to come here. They have a good focus on winning, while also balancing it with good relationships amongst the team.”

Ledford, a Psychology major, could have graduated in the spring of 2022. But his decision to return for a fifth year was influenced by the overall satisfaction of his Stevenson experience.

“From being here, I’ve learned an amazing amount of things that I can take into life, post-grad,” Ledford said. “The main reason that I came back was that being on this team and in this program has shaped me into a fine young man who is ready to attack the world after football. That’s something I’ll forever be grateful for.”

Ledford will miss being a football player, but feels that he still has something to contribute to the sport that he has played since he was seven years old and competing for the Northfield Cardinals in his early-childhood home of Northfield, N.J. He is considering a coaching career.

“I don’t want to not have football in my life,” said Ledford, the son of Mark and Liza Ledford. “I’ve worked some of the football camps here, and there’s something about being able to transfer the knowledge that I’ve gained to the younger guys that made me fall in love with (coaching). That’s really what made me want to jump into it.”

Ledford is willing to begin his career at any level of coaching.

“I’d love to start at a collegiate level,” Ledford said. “But if the opportunity presents itself at a high school or even a youth-level league, I’d do (for those players) exactly what the people above me have done: focus on my well-being and really guide me through life.”

Hottle is certain that Ledford’s attitude and willingness to work will be assets during his professional career.

“He’s the ultimate team guy,” Hottle said. “I’ve never heard him complain. Mason is probably one of the most positive people I’ve seen, every day. It takes courage to do what he’s done, and I’m really proud of him.”

MUSTANG STADIUM

TREMENDOUS FACILITY

THIS STADIUM IS REALLY, REALLY SPECIAL.

- JOHN HARBAUGH, BALTIMORE RAVENS HEAD COACH

To accommodate its growth and expansion, Stevenson University opened its new Owings Mills campus in 2004. Two years later, it acquired the former headquarters and practice facility for the NFL’s Baltimore Colts and Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens.

One of the best facilities in Division III, Mustang Stadium was opened in September 2011 and serves as the home for the University’s football and nationallyranked men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. The multi-million dollar, 3,500-seat stadium was designed by Curry Architects of Towson and built by Howard S. Brown Enterprises.

The field level features team rooms for football, field hockey, women’s soccer, men’s lacrosse and women’s lacrosse as well offices for football and men’s lacrosse. Each team room is equipped with their own restroom and shower facilities, LCD televisions with cable, built-in stereos, scoreboard clocks and Internet access. They also feature custom built, hand-stained, wooden lockers personalized for each student-athlete.

In constructing the football team room, the University repurposed the original lockers used by the Super Bowl XXXV champion

Baltimore Ravens in what is now the Caves Sports and Wellness Center.

The concourse level has a full-service ticket office and concession stand as well as spacious restroom facilities, team store and security office.

The third floor is a 6,400-square foot fitness center overlooking Owings Mills Boulevard complete with state-of-the-art workout equipment, sound system and LCD televisions with cable. There are also restroom and shower facilities as well as office space for a strength and conditioning coach.

The two-story press box features a President’s Suite on the fourth level, complete with theatre-style seating, outdoor patios, two LCD televisions with cable, scoreboard clocks, granite countertops and bathroom tile, buffet and bar service.

The fifth floor contains one of the best media facilities in Division III. It has home and visiting coaches’ boxes, home and visiting radio booths, television suits, video production room and space for general media and game day administration.

The stadium includes 204 reserved seats and general admission seating for over 3,000 fans while the field boasts a synthetic, environmentally responsible, eco-friendly FieldTurf surface and state-of-the-art scoreboard with programmable team names, statistical displays and penalty time.

In its first year, the stadium hosted the Baltimore Ravens, the Ed Reed Football Camp and the Baltimore Touchdown Club Senior All-Star Game.

“Tremendous facility,” said Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh. “This stadium is really, really special. I know the indoor, what they have is really neat. They’ve just done a great job with their athletic facilities.”

The Ravens occupied the facility from 1996-2004 upon their arrival from Cleveland. The complex was originally built by the Baltimore Colts in 1979 and served as their base of operations until 1983. After the Ravens’ moved down the road to “The Castle,” the complex was purchased by Stevenson University in 2006 for use by the school’s growing athletics department.

HALLOWED GROUND

CAVES CONSTRUCTION

The site of Stevenson’s Caves Athletics Complex and Mustang Stadium in Owings Mills was originally occupied in 1980 by the then-Baltimore Colts, who won the NFL title in 1958 and captured Super Bowl V over Dallas 13 years later. After the Colts left town, the facility was used by the Baltimore Stallions, who became the only U.S.-based team to win the Canadian Football League (CFL) title with a 37-20 win over the Calgary Stampede in the 1995 Grey Cup.

THE BUBBLE

The Stallions headed to Montreal after Art Modell, then the owner of the Cleveland Browns, announced plans to move his team to Baltimore in time for the 1996 season. The winning tradition continued as the Ravens beat the Giants 34-7 in 2001 in Super Bowl XXXV.

Bill Tessendorf, the former Ravens’ trainer who was one of 17 Browns employees who made the move to Baltimore, helped adapt what had been used by the Colts and Stallions for use by the Ravens.

“When the franchise relocated to Baltimore one of the things that was offered to the franchise, besides a new stadium, was a practice facility that had belonged to the Colts,” Tessendorf said. “Even though the Colts had not been there for nine years it was appealing to us. As part of franchise relocation, one of my jobs was to convert that place from a police academy for the city of Baltimore to a workable NFL facility we could use.”

MATT STOVER

In 2010, Pro Bowler and 2011 Ravens Ring of Honor inductee Matt Stover spoke to the team during their developmental season. Stover also tossed the coin for the first annual Green-White scrimmage during SU Homecoming and Family Weekend.

MUSTANG STADIUM

One of the best facilities in Division III, Mustang Stadium was opened in September 2011 and serves as the home for the University’s football, men’s and women’s soccer, field hockey and nationally-ranked men’s and women’s lacrosse teams. The multi-million dollar, 3,500-seat stadium was designed by Curry Architects of Towson and built by Howard S. Brown Enterprises.

“Give credit to the administration: When these facilities opened up they got the facilities and were able to expand their campus,” Tessendorf said. “I remember meeting the president (Kevin Manning) and athletic director (Brett Adams) a few years ago as they came walking through to see the facilities. Then a few years later they had a football team and a stadium. Kudos to the administration; they were able to take the existing buildings and construct new ones.”

“Tremendous facility,” said Ravens head coach John Harbaugh. “This stadium is really, really special,” Harbaugh said. “I know the indoor, what they have is really neat. They’ve just done a great job with their athletic facilities.”

HALLOWED GROUND

FOOTBALL TEAM ROOM

“When (Stevenson) took over, its athletic teams were able to use those facilities,” said Bill Tessendorf, the former Ravens’ trainer who moved with the team from Cleveland. “They adjusted to what they needed. They have more athletes than an NFL team and they had to adjust the locker rooms. But they had the basics. They were able to tailor the facilities.”

“It is kind of cool,” Hottle said of the connections to the Ravens. “We talk about it in recruiting. Kids think they may have a locker that was used by Ray Lewis or Jonathan Ogden. It is a big part of recruiting.”

Hottle is optimistic that the ties for Stevenson to the Colts, Stallions and Ravens will mean a fourth winner on the field in the years to come.

FIRST GAME GUESTS

The Mustangs celebrated their first home game in the program’s history with the help of some of Baltimore’s greatest players. On Sept. 10, 2011, 11-time Pro Bowler and 2013 Hall of Fame Inductee Jonathan Ogden, as well as former Raven O.J. Brigance and former Colt Tom Matte delivered the game ball. Stevenson would go on to win its first game, 46-43 in double overtime.

“This is just a great night for football and it’s a beautiful campus,” Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said. “The stadium is beautiful. Everyone here at Stevenson University has just been fantastic, all the way through. A lot of great people and we love them over here.”

“We love working with the staff here and this is such a wonderful environment,” said Ravens Vice President of Marketing Gabrielle Dow.

RAY LEWIS

The Super Bowl XLVII champion Ravens have held an open practice at Stevenson in 2012 and 2013. One of the highlights from 2012 came before the start of practice when 13-time Pro Bowler and two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Ray Lewis posed for a picture with Stevenson President Dr. Kevin Manning in front of what were the original lockers used by the Ravens when they were headquartered at the school’s Owings Mills campus from 1996-2004.

Both of the Ravens’ Super Bowl championships in 2001 and 2013 came the same year when the team practiced on the ground that is now Mustang Stadium. In other words, the Ravens have not won a Super Bowl without starting a season on the Hallowed Ground that now is home to Stevenson athletics.

“It means a great deal to Stevenson to have a relationship with one of the best organizations in the NFL,” said Director of Athletics Brett Adams.

JOHN HARBAUGH

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh spoke to Stevenson’s nationally-ranked men’s lacrosse team in May 2013, giving the Mustangs a pep talk before the team headed off to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia where the team would go on to win the school’s first national championship.

Just nine months later, Harbaugh led the Ravens to their second Super Bowl title with a 34-31 victory over his brother Jim and the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII at the Superdome in New Orleans. It was also the final game in Ray Lewis’ brilliant 17-year career.
