International Travel

The Muhlenberg field hockey team spent a week in Argentina in August 2007, combining sightseeing (including trips to an art museum, a tango show and a ranch) and cultural ex-change with competition. The NCAA allows overseas trips such as this every three years.

Top Competition

The Muhlenberg field hockey team annually plays a charity field hockey game against the Muhlenberg football team. Each team wears the other’s uniforms in the friendly game, which grows more competitive every year. The event has raised several thousand dollars for causes ranging from the Special Olympics to the Fox Chase Cancer Center to the Sixth Street Shelter Adopt-a-Room Program.

Muhlenberg plays in one of the top field hockey conferences in Division III. Of the 11 schools in the Centennial Conference, six have been ranked in the national top 20 since 2003. Last year, four CC squads graced the top 20 during the season, and two received bids to the NCAA Tournament. Non-conference opponents Elizabethtown and Montclair State also appear regularly in the top 20, giving the Mules a chal-lenging schedule year in and year out.

Founded: 1848. Named for Henry Mel-chior Muhlenberg, pa-triarch of the Lutheran Church in the American Colonies.Affi liation: Private, affi liated with Lutheran Church.Location: Allentown, Pa.; 55 miles north of Philadelphia and 90 miles west of New York.Academic Emphasis: Liberal arts and prepro-fessional studies.Full-Time Enrollment: 2,125; 43% men, 57% women.Student-Faculty Ratio: 12-1.Admission: Highly selective. Over 4,200 applicants for a class of 580. The single most important factor is high school record. Entering freshmen are strong performers academically and give evidence of the potential for posi-tive impact on the college community as extracurricular contributors as well.Application Deadlines: Early Decision, February 1. Regular Decision, February 15. Muhlenberg values the energy and enthusiasm Early Decision candidates bring to the campus.Personal Interview: Strongly recommended.Financial Aid: Approximately 65% of students receive some form of fi nancial aid. Both need-based and merit

aid are available.Students: Muhlen-berg students are drawn largely from the Middle Atlantic and New England states, although 35 states and over a dozen foreign coun-tries are represented. Faculty: 161 full-time, 109 part-time. Faculty are drawn from America’s fi nest

universities. Their primary focus is excellence in teaching. 85% hold the Ph.D. or terminal degree.

“Muhlenberg has a lot to off er for an institution with less than 3,000 students. Undergrads appreciate how ‘the small student body allows the professors to tailor the education to each student.’”

Library Resources: Trexler Library resources include over 213,000 volumes and 360,000 microforms. An interli-brary loan program makes over 1.75 million books avail-able to students with daily delivery to campus.Campus Life: More than 100 clubs and student organi-zations, from United Student Government to Habitat for Humanity.Active Learning: Many of Muhlenberg’s classes are taught seminar style, with an emphasis on discussion and classroom interaction. Science labs are hands-on, with

the opportunity to do real science in a small college set-ting. Independent study, mentored research, internships and fi eld experience all are encour-aged. The goal is to promote an active, participatory learn-ing style.

That commitment to fi rst-rate teach-ing and active learn-ing means that Muhlen-berg strives always to provide learning experiences that are not simply informa-

tional, but interesting, even inspirational. It means looking for teaching approaches where students are not passive but rather engaged, active learners. The result has been an academic program widely recognized for educational excellence based on both rigor and nurture. Positive Outcomes: A Muhlenberg education provides a powerful launching pad to graduate school and entry- level careers. The College’s success rates with both law school and medical school placement are regularly over 90%. In addition, many Muhlenberg students go on to master’s and doctoral programs each year. Muhlenberg grads also go on to a full range of employment oppor-tunities, from America’s largest banks and accounting fi rms to its “blue chip” business concerns, from the most prominent social and helping agencies to schools, govern-ment and family-owned businesses, and from a variety of media, writing and advertising positions to work in the performing and fi ne arts.

“Muhlenberg holds its stu-dents to rigorous academic standards, and they know it. From its solid Lutheran roots to its current standing as a top premed school, Muhlenberg shows students it really does care. ‘Academic excellence is, by far, the top priority,’ says a junior, ‘but the people are warm, friendly, compas-sionate, and truly care about making Muhlenberg the best possible place for everyone.’”

Peyton Randolph Helm took offi ce as president of Muhlenberg College July 1, 2003. He holds the faculty rank of professor of history. Immediately prior to joining the Muhlenberg

community, Helm served as vice president for college relations and professor of classical stud-ies at Colby College in Waterville, Maine. Helm began his career in academic admin-istration at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was named coordinator of College House Programs in 1981. He served as associate director of development and then director of development for Penn’s School of Arts and Sci-ences. From 1981-1988 he was also an adjunct assistant professor of ancient history and urban studies at Penn. In 1988, Helm was named vice president for development and alumni relations at Colby, where he was promoted to vice president for college relations in 2001. Th e Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) has awarded Helm its Steuben Apple, given to advancement profes-sionals who have been rated as a top speaker at 10 or more national conferences. Helm has delivered addresses and conducted seminars on ethics, stewardship, writing, capital campaigns, market research and volunteer management at more than 30 conferences across the coun-try and internationally. His writing has been published in CASE Currents and Successful Fund Raising, as well as various scholarly publications in the fi eld of ancient history.

Helm earned his bachelor’s degree in ar-chaeology, with magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa distinction, from Yale University. He earned his doctoral degree in ancient history, specializing in ancient Greek and Near Eastern history and literature, from the University of Pennsylvania.

Karen Green began her duties as vice president for student aff airs/dean of stu-dents at Muhlenberg College on June 15, 2006, following more than four years as dean of students at Wells College in Aurora, N.Y. At Muhlenberg, Green oversees more than 70 full-time employees and several departments, including athletics and recreation. “Th e athletic programs are an integral part of a liberal arts education,” said Green. “Th e les-sons learned from participation in our programs will sustain our students throughout their lives. Th e opportunity to be involved in intramural and recreational programs provides balance from the rigors of a challenging academic experience. “My predecessor as dean of students, Rudy Ehrenberg, said it best, ‘We must provide our students with outstanding coaches, superb facil-ities and a commitment to excellent programs. Th ese are the ingredients for a quality program and Muhlenberg College is committed to such excellence.’ I strongly support these words and will be fully committed to the College’s athletic programs.” Green received her baccalaureate degree from Agnes Scott College in Atlanta in 1986, where the Karen Green Human Relations Award was created in her honor. She went on to earn her master’s of divinity from the Candler School of Th eology at Emory University in 1997. Green began her administrative career as a resident director at Spelman College, later served in the admissions offi ce at Agnes Scott and subsequently became director of orienta-tion, residence life and student activities at her alma mater before leaving Atlanta to accept the position of director of multicultural aff airs at Hamilton College in Clinton, N.Y. She held additional leadership positions in student life at Agnes Scott, Emory and Ham-ilton before assuming the position of dean of students at Wells in September 2001.

Following a national search, Muhlenberg College named Sam Beidleman director of athletics in July 2003. He had been serving as interim director of athlet-ics since April 1, 2003.

As director of athletics, Beidleman supervises Muhlenberg’s 22-sport varsity intercollegiate program, as well as the intramural and recre-ation programs. “Muhlenberg College is proud of its long-standing tradition of academic and athletic excellence,” said Beidleman. “While we strive to win on the fi eld or court, we measure our suc-cess in many other ways including the develop-ment of character, leadership, scholarship and ethical behavior.” Beidleman returned to Muhlenberg after a prior 35-year association with the College, dur-ing which he held responsibilities in every area of athletics programming – as a student, coach, faculty member and administrator.

08 Muhlenberg College sponsors a comprehensive 22-sport inter-collegiate athletics program. Th e Mules compete in the Centen-nial Conference in all sports and are members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division III and Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC). Muhlenberg’s sports program is designed to off er quality com-petitive experiences for the serious athlete, with opportunities for outstanding teams and individuals to advance to national Divi-sion III champi-onships. How-ever, given the breadth of the program, oppor-tunities also exist for the unre-cruited athlete to participate in varsity sports. Muhlenberg has excellent on-campus athletic facilities. Opened in 1982, the Life Sports Center is a building designed for athlet-ics, intramurals and “sports for life” as primary uses. Th e original solar-heated building, a series of three additions to the Memo-rial Hall gymnasium, includes the spacious John Deitrich Field House, featuring basketball and tennis courts and a 160-meter running track; the 25-meter Alumni Pool; and the Levering Tyson wing, containing racquetball and squash courts and rooms for sports medicine, weight training, wrestling, dance, instruction and equipment distribution. Memorial Hall, the original facility built in 1954, seats 3,529 and is an excellent facility for viewing indoor sports. Th e Life Sports Center recently underwent a signifi cant renova-tion that further improved the Mules’ facilities. Th e three-level, 40,000-square foot addition was built directly west of the Deit-rich Field House and opened in the fall of 2004. Th e new facility includes additional locker rooms and offi ce space, new recreation and fi tness areas and a new health and counseling center. Outdoors, the Mules have a grass fi eld used by the men’s and women’s soccer teams, constructed in 1997, and a stadium for use by football, fi eld hockey and lacrosse surrounded by an eight-lane, all-weather track, constructed in 1998 and resurfaced with AstroTurf GameDay Grass™ 3D in 2008.

CENTENNIAL CONFERENCE

www.centennial.org

In its 16th year of all-sports competition, the Centennial Conference has taken its place among the nation’s elite small-college conferences. Founded in 1983 as the Centennial Football Conference and expanded to an all-sports league in 1992, the Centen-nial Conference encour-ages athletic competition among national liberal arts colleges and universities that share similar academic aspirations and a commit-ment to the importance of the total educational experience of students en-gaged in sports. Intercol-legiate athletics programs are an integral part of the life of the member institutions and fl ow from their educational objectives. Each institution provides a comprehensive, broad-based athletics program. All varsity sports are treated equitably, and every sport is important. The CC fi eld hockey champion receives an au-tomatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

During the 2007-08 school year, Muhlenberg won the Cen-tennial Conference championship in football and women’s basketball, and Mule teams or individuals earned bids to the NCAA Division III Championships in men’s soccer and men’s and women’s cross country.

08 As part of its “Fields Project,” Muhlenberg Col-lege constructed a state-of-the-art on-campus game and practice facility during the summer of 1998. Th e multipurpose stadium includes

an artifi cial turf playing fi eld with e-layer pad, an eight-lane all-weather track, bleacher seating for 3,000, lighting and a new scoreboard and press box. Th e facility, also home to the Mule football, lacrosse and track and fi eld teams, received a facelift in the summer of 2008 when the original AstroTurf 12® surface was replaced with AstroTurf GameDay Grass™ 3D. Th e Muhlenberg fi eld hockey team has enjoyed its new home, compiling a record of 68-27 (.716) on the turf over the last 10 seasons and hosting a Centennial Conference playoff game in 2006. Th e Mules set a school record with eight home wins in 1999, tied that mark in 2002, then broke it with nine victories at Scotty Wood Stadium in 2006.

Scotty Wood Stadium/Frank Marino Field

A three-level, 40,000-square-foot addition to the Life Sports Center opened in August 2004, further improving Muhlenberg College’s athletic facilities. Th e addition, built

directly west of the John Deitrich Field House, includes a large weight facility, an expanded cardio-fi tness area, a snack bar, new facilities for health service and counseling, training rooms, locker rooms and coaches’ offi ces. Th e structure off ers a spectacular view of the College’s outdoor facilities and is joined to the original Life Sports Center by a large indoor corridor on the main level. A new main entrance faces the campus. Th e project also entailed renovations in the Field House, including installation of a new fl oor and track, new netting, new lighting and painting.
