[> [> [> Re: WOW ... she actually really SUCKED -- gobroncs, 13:13:15 06/19/04 Sat

Levick finished - in poor fashion - the rebuilding of our hoops arena which started before she got here. She was exceptionally unpopular with the alumni base, basketball attendance, despite an OK team, dropped in half. Women's soccer won a national title but had been the final four many times before (5 at least), men's soccer lost a national final, their fourth appearance in the final in which they earned one title, but again the other 3 happened before she got there. She did get a new baseball field planned and $ raised.

Overall, I didn't hate her nearly as much as most other alumni but she was far too controversial at a school that rightly or wrongly has a long history of community and not confrontation. I'm very glad she is gone, and suprised that she was not fired as I think she would have been eventually.

Lastly, Santa Clara's mascot is the Broncos not the Banana Slugs, that's UC Santa Cruz, a very different institution.

[> [> Levick is a Builder -- Stu Durando (St Louis Post-Dispatch), 09:41:43 06/16/04 Wed

Levick said there are similarities between the athletic departments at Santa Clara and SLU, starting with the budgets. Both schools are successful academically, with Santa Clara boasting the highest graduation rate in the West Coast Conference in each of Levick's four years.

At SLU, she would be called upon to quickly show her fund-raising prowess, which has been necessary at Santa Clara.

"There's a lot of fund raising that needs to be done, but the arena has to be top priority," she said. "The final design is not there yet, which is great, because I love designing facilities. I designed and built the arena at Santa Clara, and we're in the process of doing a new baseball stadium. Fund raising is something I enjoy doing. I do know that Father (Lawrence) Biondi and I are very committed to building that arena."

THIS LOOKS like a "real" project
