commencement Spring Hill avenue of the oaks Saturday, May 6, 2017 Our Mission

Rooted in its Catholic heritage and continuing the centuries-old Jesuit tradition of educational excellence, forms students to become responsible leaders in service to others.

We offer all students a thorough preparation for professional excellence and we strive to awaken mind and spirit to the pursuit of truth and to a ever-deepening appreciation of the beauty of creation, the dignity of life, the demands of justice, and the mystery of God’s love.

In our community of living and learning, we are committed to the Jesuit tradition of “cura personalis,” that is, a care for the spiritual, social and intellectual growth of each person.

Through informed dialogue with the world’s cultures, religions and peoples we promote solidarity with the entire human family.

And true to the Catholic and biblical tradition, we nurture both the personal and social dimensions of faith, seeking to draw our students into a deeper and more vital relationship with God. The Historyof spring hill college

Founded in 1830 by the Most Rev. , DD, Mobile’s first Catholic bishop, Spring Hill College is the oldest continuously operated, private institution of higher education in the state of , the first Catholic college in the Southeast, and the third oldest Jesuit and fifth oldest Catholic college in the United States.

Bishop Portier originally purchased 300 acres of land, six miles west of the City of Mobile, to establish a seminary and boarding school. His vision was to provide boys under the age of 12 with an education in classical and modern languages, mathematics, geography, astronomy, history, belles lettres, physics and chemistry. The school had 30 students its first year and was initially staffed by Portier (who taught Greek), two priests and four seminarians. By 1832, the age restriction had been eased and enrollment increased to approximately 130 students.

In 1847, Bishop Portier invited the Fathers of the Province of the to take possession of the College, and, like other Jesuit schools, Spring Hill began to follow a European model of education in which students began attending at nine years old and proceeded through both secondary and collegiate levels. The sons of Mobile’s established families, representing multiple denominations and faith traditions, attended Spring Hill High School and College.

Through the guidance of the Jesuits, Spring Hill continued to thrive and meet the educational needs of its community as it entered the twentieth century. In 1932, the school developed and launched an extension program offering Saturday classes aimed at adults. For the first time in its history, women were admitted into its programs. These developments were followed by another important change of historical significance — the closing of the high school in 1935. Presidents Patrick Donnelley, SJ, and Andrew Smith, SJ, brought landmark changes to the College after World War II. Both men viewed racial segregation as an ethical and moral dilemma, and in 1954, Smith presided over the enrollment of nine African-American students to the College. Fannie Motley was the first African-American graduate of the College in 1956. For 10 years, Spring Hill was the first and only integrated college in the south, earning the respect of many and the ire of some. Spring Hill’s leadership on integration is mentioned by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in his 1963 Letter from a Birmingham Jail.

Spring Hill College’s foundation as a Jesuit, Catholic, liberal arts institution of higher learning has shaped its mission, which centers on forming leaders engaged in learning, faith, justice and service for life. The Foley Community Service Center, named for the Rev. Albert S. Foley, SJ, is part of the College’s ongoing commitment to service, with Spring Hill College students providing more than 25,000 hours of service to the local community each year. The International Service Immersion Program (ISIP) has provided numerous Spring Hill College students with life-changing experiences in service to others in the Caribbean and Central America for 13 years. An inaugural alumni ISIP trip was added in 2016 due to the overwhelming success of the program.

Spring Hill College’s Carnegie Classification is as a baccalaureate college, with an arts and sciences focus. The College offers 46 undergraduate and eight graduate degrees through eight academic divisions and annually enrolls more than 1,400 undergraduate students. Spring Hill competitively fields sixteen teams in NCAA Division II sports and four club sports as well as two spirit squads. The College boasts a thriving campus life with more than 70 student organizations, including a wide array of co-curricular and student activities, an engaged Campus Ministry, and numerous programs. Since 2010, the College has partnered with the of to create Spring Hill College’s Center, which in its mission to facilitate a truly immersive learning experience, provides students rich opportunities to study abroad and participate in social justice travel, research and internships.

Focused on the Jesuit principle of cura personalis, or care and development of the whole person, Spring Hill College is a close-knit community centered on the success of each student. Through a cohesive, undergraduate experience, a solid foundation in the liberal arts, and innovative programs designed to engage students in both service-based learning and vocational discernment, students are encouraged to actively build skills, discover passions, and reflect upon strengths and areas of opportunity as they plan their futures.

The Spring Hill College mace is a hand-crafted, turned Amaranth (Purpleheart wood) staff trimmed with bronze and ebony and topped by a bronze cast of the College shield. The mace was designed by Pieter Favier, MFA, associate professor of Fine Arts.

The origination of the mace dates back to medieval times. Medieval European bishops, who were forbidden to use swords, were allowed to enter battle with a mace. These progressed from simple clubs to elaborate weapons and by the 14th century, became symbols of lawful authority. By the 16th century, the mace was embraced as a ceremonial object by and , serving as a tangible symbol of the intent to protect the special mission that society has entrusted to institutions of higher education.

Today, the ceremonial mace serves as a symbol of the authority of the President in the acquisition, preservation, and transmission of knowledge by the College in service to society. The Grand Marshal of the faculty carries the mace during processions and displays it prominently throughout academic ceremonies. commencement 2017 order of the exercises
