About Hartwick Basketball

Oneonta, New York, United States
Hartwick is among the North East’s elite liberal art colleges both academically and athletically. Hartwick has a reputation of academic excellence and offers a most diverse selection of degree programs, with a strong emphasis on a liberal arts education. Our campus is truly beautiful. We are located on a scenic 425-acre site on the northern slopes of New York’s Catskill Mountains, in Oneonta, a town considered by some experts to be among the top ten best college towns in America. Hartwick offers a small college atmosphere; as the student/faculty ratio is 11 to 1, and the average classroom size is 15. Yet we are only 70 minutes from the state capital, Albany, and two and a half hours from New York City. This setting provides an ideal atmosphere academically, athletically, and socially for the aspiring student-athlete. Combine these facts with tremendous facilities, a great schedule, and a major commitment to the basketball program, and you can see why Hartwick basketball has made the final four and is a true Division III Giant! As a member of the Empire 8 Conference, Hartwick competes successfully in one of the premier Division III conferences in the country.

Meet the Hartwick Hawks- Senior DAN DEVANTIER


My name is Dan DeVantier and I am currently a senior at Hartwick. I am from Roscoe, NY which is about an hour away from Hartwick. I am majoring in business and would like to pursue a career in sales after graduation. My passion, however, is coaching. I would like to become a college basketball coach and continue participating in the game that I have played since fifth grade. In my spare time I enjoy watching college basketball, hanging out with my friends, and of course fishing.


I transferred to Hartwick from Columbia-Greene Community College at the beginning my junior year. I decided to come to Hartwick because I really liked the small school atmosphere. Most importantly, I wanted to play basketball and Hartwick’s program strongly attracted me. I am very excited to see what my senior year will bring.
