The Search is Over

The College's new athletic director, former Williams Ail-American basketball player Harry Sheehy (a 1975 graduate), understands emotional investment in Big Green teams. "Williams and Dartmouth alumni are irrationally attached to their schools," he said at his August 3 introduction on campus. "At an institution like Dartmouth that's just critical." Echoing President Jim Kim, Sheehy stressed the importance not only of varsity athletics but also the integration of physical activity into student life. "Some of the best teaching on campus will happen at 4 o'clock—it's called practice," said Sheehy. In 17 years as Williams' men's basketball coach, Sheehy amassed a 324-104 record before taking over as AD in 2000.
