DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Linda Van Drie AndrzjewskiLinda Van Drie AndrzjewskiDirector of Athletics | Sixth YearDirector of Athletics | Sixth Year

As the Director of Athletics at Wilmington University, I would like to welcome you to the 2013-14 academic year. This is an exciting

time for the Wildcats, as it is the second full season after we offi cially opened our facility on Route 40. The new athletics complex

will be home to six of our athletic teams, the administrative offi ces and another state of the art athletic training facility. The facility

features a beautiful turf fi eld and outdoor seating for 300, a spacious gymnasium with seating for 400 and additional locker room

space. This new facility will enhance the growth of our program and be a sense of pride for all Wildcats.

Our athletic teams continue to grow and do well. For the fourth year in a row, the men’s program has won the coveted Restaino Cup

in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference. This is no doubt a refl ection of our excellent coaching staff . This year we plan to build

on this success and continue to compete for conference and post-season titles in all of our sports programs.

The success of our program is contingent upon the support of the administration the quality of the student-athletes we have in

each sport. At Wilmington University we are proud of our strong staff and wonderful student-athletes. This is an exciting era for

Wilmington University and the athletic program as members of NCAA Division II. I am very fortunate to be working with an athletic

department that has such a fi ne history and a real vision of what it takes to compete at the Division II level. I am also honored to be

associated with a very caring, dedicated and talented athletics staff and coaches and especially our wonderful and diligent student-

athletes who work so hard to carry on the tradition of excellence at Wilmington University.

I hope that you will take the time to support all of the Wildcats’ teams. Their hard work and contributions to Wilmington University,

on and off the competitive fi eld, are to be recognized and commended. It is a great time to be a Wildcat!

Yours in Sport,

Linda M. Van Drie Andrzjewski

WILMINGTON UNIVERSITY AT A GLANCE

Wilmington University is a private, non-profi t university that off ers both undergraduate and graduate degree programs in a wide range of career areas. The

University began with a charter class of 194 students in 1968 and now enrolls a diverse student body numbering more than 15,000 annually.

Founded as Wilmington College, on September 10, 2007 the institution offi cially became Wilmington University after the approval of the Board of Trustees and

the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. The name was changed to better refl ect the emphasis on bachelor’s, master’s, and doctorate degree programs

that distinguish Wilmington University from other colleges as well as to eff ectively communicate the full commitment and mission of the University.

The program of day, evening, and weekend classes serves traditional high school graduates as well as non-traditional adult students in need of fl exible scheduling.

Classes are primarily off ered in 15-week, 7-week, and weekend modular formats. In addition to these face-to-face learning options, Wilmington University off ers

a wide array of online learning options, including fully-online degree programs and hybrid courses and programs (combining face-to-face and online learning).

Wilmington University’s main campus is located near the cities of Wilmington and historic New Castle, Delaware. The campus is easily accessible by air, rail, and

bus. Our central location in the northeast/mid-Atlantic corridor of the United States provides students convenient access to the major cities of Philadelphia, New

York, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. Recreational areas such as beaches and ski resorts are within easy driving distance.

Additional University locations in Delaware include the Wilson Graduate Center, Middletown, Dover, Dover Air Force Base, Georgetown, Rehoboth Beach, and

North Wilmington. In New Jersey, Wilmington University off ers programs on Burlington County College and Cumberland County College campuses and the

Joint Base Education Center for McGuire AFB/Fort Dix/Lakehurst Naval Air Station, in addition to a selection of courses off ered at Salem Community College. In

Maryland, select Wilmington University teacher-education degree programs are available at Cecil College’s Elkton location.

Wilmington University generally serves commuter students and does not provide student housing facilities. However, the University welcomes all qualifi ed

students and assists those needing living accommodations by providing a listing of nearby rental opportunities.
