John B. Paolella, Esq., a member of the Leon Hess Business School’s\u00a0Business Council, presented a check to symbolize his recent $75,000 commitment towards the building of the Monmouth University Golf Training Facility to Vice President and Director of Athletics Marilyn McNeil, Ph.D., during the Council\u2019s breakfast meeting on May 3.<\/p>\n

An avid golfer, Paolella previously served as a prosecutor, New Jersey assemblyman and New Jersey senator. \u00a0In addition to serving on the Business Council, Paolella is also an executive mentor of the\u00a0Student Enrichment and Engagement through Mentoring Activities (SEEMA)\u00a0program<\/a>, an exclusive mentoring program within the business school in which students work directly with professional mentors. Paolella currently mentors a business student who is a member of the men\u2019s golf team on campus.<\/p>\n

“John\u2019s generosity and support to Monmouth students has been unwavering. He understands the value of an education and the qualitative difference that mentoring, nurturing, and scholarships can provide. We are indebted to his philanthropy,” said Donald Moliver, Ph.D., dean of the Leon Hess Business School.<\/p>\n

The future Golf House will be a 3,000-square-foot structure that is fully climate controlled and houses a 1,000-square-foot contoured putting and chipping green, a Tour quality “Trackman” hitting bay and a multi-purpose two-bay training room with force place balance and video analysis.\u00a0In addition to the tools that will improve student-athletes’ play, the facility will include locker and storage rooms, a players lounge, coaches offices, bathrooms and a fully furnished outdoor patio.<\/p>\n

At the breakfast meeting, Monmouth University President Grey Dimenna and McNeil thanked Paolella for his generosity, service, and commitment to the Leon Hess Business School and Monmouth University.<\/p>\n

“This a unique opportunity for our student-athletes to improve their game throughout the entire year,” said McNeil. “We continue to enhance our facilities and strive to have first-class facilities for our student-athletes. We lean on our alumni and friends to help make this project a reality and continue to raise the level of the program.\u00a0We’re very excited to get the Golf House Project off the ground.”<\/p>\n

Formed in 1984, the\u00a0Leon Hess Business School\u2019s Business Council serves to provide a forum that encourages and promotes a healthy business-to-University and business-to-business relationship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
