About me:
A lot has changed since Post opened its doors in 1890. Back then, people with a college degree were the exception, not the rule. Today, many companies won't even consider hiring employees without a college education. And it's no longer enough to simply get your degree. Graduates have to have a vision and a plan for managing their careers. They need to have leadership skills and the ability to apply what they've learned in class to a fast-paced, highly competitive global marketplace.Today's businesses are looking for graduates who can apply and adapt what they've learned to fit the ever-changing demands of the market. That's why we focus on preparing you to make the connection between scholarship and leadership. Post University students are not just "book smart" when they graduate, they're "career smart".

WATERBURY -- Pete Sampras lost 11 tennis matches on grass courts during his illustrious professional career. One of the men who beat Pete on the lush green stuff is the new head coach of men’s and women’s tennis at Post University.
His name is Mark Keil (pronounced Kyle). Yes, it is OK to ask, who is Mark Keil?
With Wimbledon rushing to its conclusion this weekend, who better but Keil, a man who played in the singles and doubles draws at the All England, to get the straight dope on the tournament.
First, a little about Keil. Raised in New Mexico, he was a collegiate star at the University of South Florida before turning pro in 1988. Considered a doubles specialist, Keil reached a career-high rank of No. 32 in the world in doubles, 167 in singles.
He won five doubles championships, has $750,000 in career earnings, and even produced, directed and starred in a cult tennis film, called “The Journeyman.”
You can actually tell stories about Keil all day.
He became close friends with Andre Agassi, “And he paid for my bachelor party in Vegas. He came, and got me 11 rooms at Caesar’s Palace. He is the most caring, giving tennis player, no, not just tennis player, athlete in the world. I don’t know where he got it from. His father was an ex-boxer and a pit boss in Vegas.”
That gives you a taste of the Keil personality. He is blunt, honest, and intense, or, in his own words, “Yes, that’s me, an intense person, a positively intense, passionate, intense person.”
And there was that day, in 1991, at the Queen’s Club Championship in London, “The greatest day of my life,” the warm-up event each summer for Wimbledon, when Keil defeated Sampras, 6-2, 7-6 (2).
Sampras had already won his first U.S. Open (1990). Ranked No. 8 at the time, Pete had yet to become the Pete that we once thought of as the greatest tennis player who ever lived.
So it is with some degree of expertise that we can ask Keil: Who

Today, Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) commended Connecticut independent colleges for responding to his call to participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. Earlier this year, Dodd sent a letter to eligible Connecticut schools, urging their participation in the Yellow Ribbon Program, a program that provides scholarships to military veterans who served after September 11, 2001 to attend independent institutes of higher education.
Fairfield University, Goodwin College, Post University, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Sacred Heart University, Saint Joseph’s College, Saint Vincent’s College, the University of Bridgeport, the University of Hartford, the University of New Haven, Wesleyan University and Yale University have all applied to participate in the program this coming year.
“The participation of numerous Connecticut colleges and universities in the Yellow Ribbon Program is remarkable and impressive, although not surprising,” said Dodd. “Connecticut’s colleges and universities have long supported the men and women who serve our country. This program allows America’s military heroes to attend some of the best colleges and universities across the nation, providing them with the critical resources needed to assimilate back into civilian life and pursue their academic and career goals.”
The Yellow Ribbon Program supplements college benefits made available to these veterans under the Post 9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance Act of 2008, more commonly known as the Post 9/11 G.I. Bill. Additional expenses covered by these institutions will be matched by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs dollar-for-dollar, to compensate for the full differences in tuition.

Prospect/Beacon Falls infielder Cody Kingsley ended the 2008 American Legion baseball season with a 20-game hitting streak and his batting average hovering around .350. Thanks in part to a metal bat.
He doesn’t have that luxury this summer.
Kingsley and his teammates, along with all the teams in Zone 5 and seven of the eight zones in Connecticut, switched to wooden bats only in the regular season in preparation for the wooden-bat state tournament later this month.
Connecticut is the only state in the country to ban metal bats, which are used in high school and college largely because they rarely break and cost less over the long run than wooden bats.
For Kingsley, the results so far have been less favorable than what he’s accustomed to.
“With wood, (hitting is) a lot more difficult,” said Kingsley, who’s batting below .300 this season. “Unless you hit it on the barrel of the bat all of the time, it is not going to happen. With metal, you can get a pitch off the hands and still get a hit. I know that I am going to struggle at times now, and there will be slumps more than usual. Everyone’s averages are lower.”
Despite the difficulty, Kingsley feels there are positives to the change. For one thing, it will only help him next spring when he plays for Post University, which competes in a wooden-bat league.
“It will make us better players,” said Kingsley. “We’ll learn to play small ball and be more aggressive on the basepaths.”

Two graduating seniors at William Hall High School in West Hartford were selected to receive scholarships from the Jewish Community Foundation (JCF). The students were selected based on academic achievement, community service, extracurricular activities and financial need. Each received a scholarship to the four-year, accredited college of his or her choice.
Ari Jacobson, who plans to attend American University in Washington, D.C. in the fall, and Allison Butler, who will attend the University of Hartford in West Hartford, were honored at an awards ceremony held on June 11 at Hall High School and presented with a certificate from the Jewish Community Foundation.
"We receive numerous applications for a limited number of scholarships," said Debra Rostowky, a member of the Foundation's Scholarship Committee, in presenting the award. "Ari and Allison stood out as two of our most impressive candidates."
The Foundation also awarded Plainville High School senior Jeffrey Mann the Alvin Kennedy Scholarship. A star golfer for his high school team, Mann hopes to eventually turn professional. He plans to attend Post University in Waterbury this fall.
The Alvin Kennedy Scholarship Fund was established at the Jewish Community Foundation by the late Alvin Kennedy of East Hartford. Kennedy and his brother, Robert, were longtime supporters of Jewish causes and were active at Temple Beth Tefilah in East Hartford for many years. Before his death, he established a scholarship fund at the Foundation to help Jewish students achieve their educational dreams.
