Cornell Athletics in Mourning: The Cornell basketball family lost a member when 83-year-old school Hall of Famer Robert Gallagher died. Gallagher played basketball for the Big Red in the 1940s, and the school inducted him into its Hall of Fame in 1998. He left the university to join the Navy but later returned to earn his last varsity letter in 1947. He was the team’s captain that season and led the team to a second-place finish in the Eastern Intercollegiate League. After graduation, Gallagher stayed active in the athletics department, serving as chairman of the Cornell Athletics Alumni Advisory Committee. Cornell scheduled its season-opener at Northwestern largely to let Gallagher see the team he diligently followed for six decades. [9/02/06]

The Seven C’s of Leadership
Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
-Dale Brown, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, LSU, 1972-1997, Member of the College Basketball Hall of Fame, and Shaquille O’Neal’s college coach
