Subject: WOW ... she's really an dynamo

I like the part on her fundraising successes which is mostly implied by the new programs and renovations she has overseen --

One of the most dynamic and respected administrators in college athletics, Levick has overseen a time of significant growth at Santa Clara. In her first three years at the Mission Campus, Levick reorganized the department's administrative staff, spearheaded a major renovation of its basketball arena, opened a new administrative office suite, received a $42.75 million commitment from the University's capital campaign and developed a five-year strategic plan.

During that time, the department has also added nine new athletic scholarships, sold out and managed the 2002 NCAA Men’s Basketball West Regional, won the school's first-ever NCAA title in a women's sport when the women's soccer team claimed the 2001 national championship and successfully completed an NCAA certification process.

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.
