Meet the Hartwick Hawks- Freshman TRAVIS GODLEY


Hey, my name is Travis Godley and I am from Putnam, CT. Coming out of my senior year in high school I looked at Hartwick and loved it but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go so far away. To make sure I would find the right place for me, I did a Post Graduate year at a prep school and explored more options. No matter where I visited I just knew Hartwick was the place for me.

Coach McGuiness and the players welcomed me right away and made feel right at home. The classes here are great. Right away I could tell that the professors really cared about me and wanted me to succeed. The professors are always ready to help and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I’m in a great situation to succeed on and especially off of the court.
