Barbara Stevens, Head Women's Basketball Coach

5/7/2012


Our new campus celebrity is Bentley Head Women’s Basketball Coach, Barbara Stevens. Coach Stevens just concluded another extremely impressive season making it to the Elite Eight of the national Division II NCAA tournament. No stranger to this level of success, Coach Stevens has more recorded victories than any other women’s basketball coach in Division II, and only five other coaches in the history of women’s college basketball, in any division, have more victories. Coach Stevens is an inspiration to many on campus so we asked this coaching legend more about how she has become so successful.

HCB: How do you think you got to where you are today?
BS: Coaching Women’s Basketball at the collegiate level has been my profession for the last 36 years. I began my coaching career at Clark University in Worcester where I was an assistant coach for 1 year then became the Head Women’s Basketball Coach for the next 6 years; I left Clark to become the Head Women’s Basketball Coach at UMass-Amherst for 3 years; and I have just completed my 26th season here at Bentley.

The only way a coach can be successful is to surround her/him with talented, motivated student-athletes, and hardworking assistant coaches. It also helps greatly if the institution is supportive of the coaches’ efforts to build a successful program. Fortunately for me, we have those three components for success here at Bentley.

Things We'll Buy When We're Rich

4/28/2012

We all know money can’t buy happiness. We’ve been told that since we were little kids and that’s because it is, of course, true. However, right now we are in college, working our butts off to get good grades in order to get the job of our dreams. So, with finals right around the corner and the weather getting better and better every day, a little motivation to study for that Economics exam instead of playing cornhole on the Greenspace with your friends might be necessary. So hopefully something on this list will catch your eye and be just the inspiration you need to work hard enough to ace those finals.

The Boston marathon was last Sunday, and while the ninety degree weather may not have been favored by the runners, it just made the race that much more enjoyable for those of us on the sidelines!

The truck signaling the first runners are coming!

The women's leaders run through the 21st mile of the marathon.

A sea of people, runners and spectators alike!

Katie Miller '13, President of CRAZE

4/6/2012


Our new campus celebrity is CRAZE President, Katie Miller! Besides being an all-around sweet person, she is in charge of running one of Bentley’s most talented organizations, CRAZE, a hip-hop dance team. We caught up with Katie who told us all about her experiences with dance and what we can look forward to from CRAZE!
 
Hometown: Monroe, CT
Major: Marketing, Media Arts and Society LSM, 2013
Campus involvement: CRAZE, RHA, Education Abroad Peer Advisor
 
 What made you first get into this style of dance?
 
I started taking dance lessons when I was 2 years old and stayed at the same studio until I was 18. I started taking hip hop classes in 6th grade and it instantly turned into my favorite style of dance. I was also on my high school’s competitive dance team and we became state champions 4 consecutive years. I wanted to continue my love for hip hop in college which is why I tried out for CRAZE my freshman year.
 
What challenges do you face being the leader of this group?
I love being President of CRAZE but it is definitely a huge commitment. I have to stay in constant contact with our faculty advisor, our choreographer, other organizations that want us to perform at their events, and all the members of the team. I’m so thankful for my iPhone because I’m constantly receiving emails that need immediate responses. I also get a lot of help from the rest of the Executive Board and I couldn’t be successful without them.

Treasurer: Kaila Reed

Girls Night Out Clothes that Boost Confidence

3/28/2012

In 2007, the breakup of future heir to the throne Prince William, and Kate Middleton shocked Europe. The young prince reportedly needed time to “be by himself” before settling down.

Instead of curling up and disappearing from the public eye as she may have felt like doing after it seemed like she lost the most eligible bachelor in the world, Kate stepped out on her own and turned heads as Kate Middleton, not Prince William’s girlfriend. Her hemlines got higher, her tops got lower, but most importantly she looked completely confident in everything she wore… and the prince took notice.

Everyone should take a hint from the future queen of England who proved that great style and CONFIDENCE is the key to gaining any guys attention and feeling great.

Here are some perfect Girls Night Out outfit choices that will get the attention of every guy in the room when paired with the confidence, the best accessory you can possibly have.

Simple Bright One-Colored Dress

Make yourself stand out in a simple dress with bright shoes or big jewelry. A body hugging dress is a great way to accentuate your curves, and the bright color will make you hard to miss. Another plus, you can usually find them really cheap.

What Do Bentley Guys Really Think?

3/19/2012

As all of us Bentley collegiettes know, the fellas at our school tend to be a little different than most of the college guys we see around. They know more about the stock market than any twenty year old should, they are insanely competitive, (you’re gonna argue a call in coed intramural dodge ball, really?) and most important, they are not used to seeing large groups of females (Bentley ratio 60% male 40% female).

I have gathered some insider information from four real, typical, Bentley campus cuties, and asked them their opinions on five topics that us lady falcons may be wondering. They may not all think exactly alike, but they all still answer the question:

HC Bentley Staff: Biggest Fashion Risks

2/25/2012

For our fashion themed week, we thought it would be fun to ask our HC Bentley staff what the biggest fashion risk they ever took was… and whether it was fabulous or fell completely flat! Our Collegiette staff weighs in:

My biggest fashion risk was when I was younger and I got my hair cut in a bob style to my chin. It was definitely not a success because it didn’t complement the shape of my face and I hated it until it grew out again.
-Jess Jacovino

My biggest fashion risk was adopting skinny jeans back in 2008 when they were first starting to get popular. I was the first of my friends to start wearing them and it was weird, but now I don’t own anything else! It turned out to be a great decision on my part.    
-Beth Mahoney

In high school, probably around sophomore year I chopped off all my hair trying to pull off a chic bob cut and it was the worst decision ever. I was not devoted enough to the haircut and I couldn't spend that much time styling it every morning. And back then I had even thicker hair than I have now, so it just looked so awkward. Growing it out was painfully slow, but recently I've been thinking about getting it all cut off again. So I guess I haven't really learned my lesson!
            -Rachel Wang
 
During formal recruitment we have to wear the same black t-shirt every day.  After wearing the same blue jeans and black t-shirt combo twice in a row, I decided to wear bright green jeans! Everyone thought they were so cute and kept asking me where I got them. They were only $15 at Forever21 and people thought they were from JCrew! It was cool.
