This Is Bridgewater College...

Since 1880, Bridgewater College has championed an educational philosophy of traditional values, exceptional scholarship, meaningful activities and service to the community. Its application proves that

there are more ways than one in which to learn, grow and succeed.

Bridgewater offers an environment in which students can develop as whole persons using the distinctive Personal Development Portfolio (PDP) program. The program cultivates four dimensions of personal development: citizenship and community responsibility, intellectual growth and discovery, emotional maturation and physical health, and ethical and spiritual growth. It challenges students to develop their talents and to venture beyond their chosen disciplines to discover new interests and strengths.

At Bridgewater College, students will find outlets for

their talents and energy that include top-notch theatrical productions, championship athletic teams, student-led spiritual opportunities and service-learning – a uniquely satisfying way in which to meet human needs while pursuing educational growth.

A member of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference and the NCAA Division III, Bridgewater is highly competitive and successful in both. It offers intercollegiate competition in 21 sports.

Bridgewater College is located in the heart of the breathtaking Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Nestled amid wooded hills, winding rivers and a picturesque township, it provides an atmosphere that is conducive to living, learning and developing the well-rounded, wholly educated student.

Don Burgess, a native of Harrisonburg, Va., begins his second season as head men’s basketball coach at Bridgewater College. Coach Burgess’ first team at BC finished with a 15-11 overall and a 10-6 mark in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, one of the toughest Division III conferences in the country.The Eagles advanced to the ODAC tournament semifinals where BC came up short against Washington and Lee, 77-67. The Eagles picked up several big wins in the 2008-09 season, including a win at Virginia Wesleyan, the ODAC tournament champion, and a victory over Guilford, a Final Four participant in the NCAA Division III tournament. Burgess took the reins of the Bridgewater program after serving as an assistant coach at High Point University for three seasons. While at High Point, his duties included on-court instruction, player development, recruiting, and scouting of opponents along with other assigned duties. Burgess was also responsible for overseeing the development of the team’s post players. He was instrumental in the development of 2006 Big South Defensive Player of the Year Issa Konare and two-time Big South Player of the Year Arizona Reid. Reid is the only player in Big South history and just the 97th player in NCAA Division I history to finish his career with at least 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. Burgess began his coaching career at Radford University as a student assistant following a stellar playing career with the Highlanders. He then took an assistant’s job at the University of Central Florida where he coached from 1996-2000. Burgess coached at

Oliver Purnell, head coach, Clemson University former head coach at Radford University

“When I recruited Don, his basketball IQ was evident after watching him play for five minutes. I was not surprised when he went into coaching. To be a successful head coach, you not only have to have that basketball IQ, but you have to have a passion, a love for the game and love for your players. Don has that. It was obvious to me Don would become a coach and it’s just as obvious to me that he will be a successful head coach.”

Bill Leatherman Bill Leatherman announced his retirement following the 2007-08 season after 23 years. He finished his career with 335 wins and 262 losses at Bridgewater College - the most wins of any men’s basketball coach in the College’s history. In his second season, Leatherman led the Eagles to the ODAC regular season title with a 17-9 record. A year later, Bridgewater won the 1987-88 ODAC title and earned a berth to the NCAA Division III tournament – the College’s first-ever appearance in postseason play.

Old Dominion Athletic Conference

24 2008-09 BRIDGEWATER COLLEGE MEN’S BAS-

Entering its 34th season, the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) has grown into one of the nation’s largest Division III conferences. The 13-member league stands as the second-largest multi-sport NCAA Division III conference in the country. The league was formed on May 18, 1975 as the Virginia College Conference and began operations in September of 1976. (The name change to ODAC became effective Jan. I. 1976). Charter members were eight colleges located in the state of Virginia: Bridgewater, Eastern Mennonite, Emory & Henry, Hampden-Sydney, Lynchburg, Randolph-Macon, Roanoke, and Washington & Lee. From its initial year of operation through the 1981-82 academic year, the ODAC sponsored competition in 10 men’s varsity sports, including football, soccer, and cross-country in the fall; basketball, wrestling and

indoor track in the winter; and baseball, golf, tennis and outdoor track in the spring. Women’s sports were added prior to the 1982-83 school year. Today the ODAC has grown to sponsoring championships in 22 sports. The conference expanded in the late 1980s, and once again in the early 1990s. Virginia Wesleyan became the 12th member of the conference in 1988 and began full-scale competition in the league in the 1989-90 academic season. Guilford College, voted into the league in the spring of 1990, began competing for conference championships in the 1991-92 year. Over the past several years the conference and the city of Salem, Va., have gained national attention through hosting NCAA Division III Championships in football, men’s basketball, volleyball and softball. The growing list of titles passed out in Salem began in the fall of 1993 with the DIII football championship.
