Honors-Themed Community

Freshmen Students who are admitted into the Honors program at Spring Hill College may live in the Honor’s themed community where the students are surrounded by their peers from the Honors program. This community provides incoming freshmen Honors students the benefit of living, studying, socializing, and setting common goals with their peers. Students residing in this community will work closely with their Honors faculty advisor to participate in different programs that will provide them with an intentional experience. The mission and goals of the community are aligned with the Honors Program, Residence Life Curriculum and the mission of Spring Hill College.

The community will be located in New Hall, if you have any further questions please reach out to the Honor's Faculty Advisor Dr. Michael Ferry at mferry@shc.edu

Arrupe Service Leaders Living Learning Community

With a holistic education and service-drive mission in mind, the Albert S. Foley, S.J. Community Service Center and the Office of Residence Life are dedicated to provide students with experiences that allow for growth through their involvement in their residential community, campus community, and the Mobile community. Students will receive opportunities to take part in intentional and meaningful experiences in service to others. The knowledge and skills gained from community interactions in their halls and their service sites off-campus will enable students to actively engage in transformative experiences in service to others.

Student Learning Outcomes:

The “Why” (Self): Through service experiences and community engagement, students will learn long-term impacts on the importance of serving their local and global communities.

Others: Through engagement with the community, students will develop awareness and appreciation for individuals with various backgrounds, ethnicities, beliefs, and cultures.

Community: Students will apply knowledge and skills learned for continued development around privilege, oppression, discrimination, bias, and their effects on the community.

Community Commitments:

Students will participate in a 3-day retreat prior to Fall semester, commit to 30 hours of service (3 hours a week) each semester, participate in reflection, and attend monthly seminars. CLIMB course credit will be offered to those interested.
