SPRING HILL COLLEGE 2014-2015 PRESIDENT’S REPORT



Dear Spring Hill College alumni, parents, and friends,

FROM YOUR PRESIDENT

During my first few months as the president of our beloved College, I have been overwhelmed by the warm welcome shown to me by everyone in our Spring Hill College community. I am deeply grateful for the support each of you has given me, for the enthusiasm I see in our students, and for the hearty reception of my colleagues on the Hill. I look forward to the years ahead as together we make Spring Hill College the best that it can be. There is nothing more important than the vocation we as faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of the College have to support our students as they become world leaders in learning, faith, justice, and service. The impact that each of them has on this campus, in their communities, and on others near and far is spectacular and awe-inspiring. I wish it was possible to introduce you to all 1,449 of our outstanding students and the 291 faculty and staff members who are committed to their formation and education; but in lieu of that, this report will allow a few of them to tell you about their most special moments and achievements throughout the year. The experiences and successes chronicled in the following pages would not be possible without you. I hope you feel part of their wonderful successes because you provide them with the opportunity to participate in a Jesuit, residential, liberal arts experience that combines faculty-student mentoring and excellent teaching with an emphasis on global learning and realworld opportunities for justice and service. You help us recruit and retain the most talented, mission oriented leaders in their fields to educate, support, and shape our students during some of the most important formational years of their lives. Without you, there would be no Spring Hill College. Thank you for all that you do to make Spring Hill College the incredibly special place that it is today and the extraordinary place it will be tomorrow. Sincerely,

Christopher P. Puto, Ph.D. ‘64 President

ENGAGED IN LEARNING

“At Spring Hill College, we prepare our students to go out into the world and make it a better place for others. During my time as president, I promise to cultivate an environment of discernment – to provide our students with the space, support, and encouragement to embrace their individual vocations and develop them to the fullest potential. Many of our students have already found their vocations and their passions; indeed there is a critical lack of space in our awards display cases this year. Finding places to put all of the hardware they bring home is turning out to be its own creative challenge, but it’s one I don’t mind. Take our Division of Communication and Fine Arts, for example, and check out just some of their impressive accomplishments from the past year.”

“DON’T STOP WRITING, STUART, UNTIL YOU HAVE WRITTEN SOMETHING TO CHANGE SOMEONE’S LIFE.” That piece of advice became Stuart Babington’s motivation for his 14-year career as a professional journalist, and his inspiration as an associate professor and the chair of communication arts at Spring Hill College. Babington, a then 22-year-old sportswriter at a small Louisiana newspaper, was covering the NBA playoffs and reached out to his childhood idol “Pistol Pete” Maravich, a professional basketball player who played for three NBA teams. Maravich surprisingly returned his call, and at the end of their conversation Maravich told Babington, “Don’t stop writing, Stuart, until you have written something to change someone’s life.” “So today, I look at future business people, future teachers, future medical professionals, future attorneys, and yes, future communicators – and I pay it forward,” Babington said. “‘Don’t stop doing what you do until you’ve done it to change someone’s life. Don’t stop.’”

SUSCIPE (Take) “Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, all that I have and possess. You have given it all to me. To you, Lord, I return it. All is yours. Dispose of it wholly according to your will. Give me only your love and your grace, for this is sufficient for me.” – St. Ignatius of Loyola

“I wish I could tell you that my “faith” promise is to keep Matthew Baugh on Spring Hill turf for the rest of his life, but as my first promise to you was to cultivate vocations, I fear that to do so would be disingenuous. He is an outstanding member of our community – one whom our students, faculty, staff, and friends respect and treasure for his positive wit and intelligence – and one of the nine Jesuits who live on Spring Hill’s campus furthering our faith-filled mission. My promise to you is to continue to uphold our Catholic, Jesuit identity and to use these precepts to guide us as we make decisions and take strides to move Spring Hill College into our third century.” – Christopher Puto

“Why is this so hard for us?” Baugh asks as he proceeds to a PowerPoint slide with a photograph of the royal family. The audience chuckles, but he’s right. It is difficult to think of the queen, duke, duchess and the baby prince and princess in spiritual terms. “It’s a problem for us,” Baugh observes. “It’s fine as long as they’re across the pond—we can watch Downton Abbey and have tea and buy things with the queen on them. We think, ‘Oh, how quaint!’ But when it comes to our own spirituality, and it’s meant to help us understand our own Lord, then all bets are off.” Baugh reminds us that the United States was founded by people who despised the corrupt and questionable monarchy overseas. Their response to the powerful, controlling nobility was the idea of the “self-made man,” a phrase coined by Benjamin Franklin in “Poor Richard’s Almanack,” his book of aphorisms and proverbs that became many Americans’ spiritual exercises at the time. This core of American wisdom was full of sayings emphasizing the

ENGAGED IN FAITH

“ALL IS YOURS. IF YOU UNDERSTAND THIS, YOU UNDERSTAND ST. IGNATIUS—HE’S A SIMPLE MAN,” remarks Dr. Matthew Baugh, S.J. at the end of his Christus Lecture entitled “The Call of the King,” a meditation in St. Ignatius’ Spiritual Exercises. Ignatian spirituality is rooted in the conviction that God is present in our world and active in our lives. He is personal and—most importantly—with us always. Practicing Ignatian spirituality helps us deepen our prayer lives, actively serve others, and continually discern our decisions and vocations. This particular lecture is radical and challenging for us as modern Christians, largely because Ignatius asks us to begin the meditation by thinking about the life of an earthly king so that later we may contemplate the life of the Eternal King.

power of the individual to be one’s own master, exercising full control over his or her fate—always returning to the supremacy of the self. The idea of Benjamin Franklin’s self-made man in “Poor Richard’s Almanack” is hugely present in our society, too. In Oprah Winfrey’s “Life You Want,” she posits that – among many troubling maxims – “the greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future merely by changing his attitude.” Baugh comments, “There is something good here—but there is also something seriously problematic, something seriously impure. There is something strangely self-serving; this kind of spirituality refers always to the SELF.” What’s wrong with this frame of mind? We certainly champion people who are able to turn their lives around, and a rags-to-riches fable tugs at the heartstrings of most Americans. Baugh introduces the “Principle and Foundation,” which commences the Spiritual Exercises and begins to answer this question. St. Ignatius asks us to pray on these words: “Man is created to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord. The other things on the face of the earth are created for man to help him in attaining the end for which he is created” (to praise, reverence, and serve God our Lord). Man is not self-made; he is created. He cannot even make the most basic thing about himself, which is that he exists. St. Ignatius encourages us to see God in all things, and to know that everything He has created was made for us to become closer with Him. All that God has made reflects His artistry as the creator—we can find Him in every person, every place, and every thing. When we learn to pay more attention to the things He has created, we become more thankful and reverent, and through this we become more devoted to God; more deeply in love with our Creator.

Dr. Matthew Baugh, S.J. is a Jesuit scholastic and Assistant Professor of Political Science and Law at Spring Hill College. He has a doctorate in political science from Oxford University, a law degree from Yale University and has studied philosophy and theology at the University of Toronto as part of his ongoing formation as a Jesuit. In addition to his work in the classroom, he assists with the spiritual formation of students, staff, and faculty at Spring Hill.

BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS, FOR THEY SHALL BE CALLED SONS OF GOD. – Matthew 5:9

ENGAGED IN JUSTICE

“Each year, Spring Hill College students have countless opportunities to encounter the world and make a positive difference in it. They serve the poor in Central and South America on International Service Immersion Trips; they study abroad in Bologna, Italy through a program built on the principles of witnessing social justice; and they travel and serve in Italy, Eastern Europe, the Balkans, and Northern Africa. Esther Bagot is an English professor at Spring Hill College who co-led a trip to Bosnia in the summer of 2015. Her words paint a vivid picture of what it was like to experience their mission. I am proud of our history. Spring Hill College has a tradition of being a champion for social justice, even when it’s an unpopular idea. I promise to preserve Spring Hill College’s legacy of celebrating, seeking, and advocating justice. The education and opportunities our students receive here enable them to become leaders who advocate for the weak, hungry, sick, poor, and those without voices. They touch lives with everyone they meet.” – Christopher Puto

OUR GROUP DISEMBARKED FROM TWO MINIBUSES DIRECTLY ONTO THE COBBLED STREET AND IN THE PATH OF VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. Once out of harm’s way, we gazed around us at Sarajevo. Our accommodations were located only meters from the Bascarsjia (Old Bazaar) in the center of this city, flanking a centuries-old landmark drinking fountain. The soaring minaret of a mosque rose immediately before our eyes. Later that same night my family would hear the muezzin’s (Arabic for “man appointed to call to prayer”) song floating toward us through an open window. Though this moment marked the psychic and geographic culmination of the Spring Hill College Summer Program in Italy, at the time we could hardly comprehend its significance. We were twenty-four Spring Hill College ambassadors here in the name of peace and social justice, afforded a unique opportunity to participate in dialogue with the Franciscan peacemaker, Friar Ivo Markovic, the former United Nations worker, Domogoj Nikolic (in Croatia), and Political Officer, Kenneth Zurcher, at Sarajevo’s United States Embassy. As witnesses to others who were doing, and continue to do, valuable work in the area, our Spring Hill group was actively committed to social justice. In addition, any heightened awareness we can shine on that unfamiliar, far-flung part of the world helps. Friar Ivo directs an interreligious choir based in Sarajevo that is composed of Muslims, Orthodox and Catholic Christians, Jews, and atheists. Though the singers may profess varying beliefs, music is their common ministry. Yet Friar Markovic was happy to spend hours speaking to us about his efforts at peacemaking in a still fragile Bosnia and Herzegovina. The American political officer we met the next day reiterated Friar Markovic’s feelings in his frank assessment of the region. To quote Mr. Zurcher, “The Balkans, at this point, is as close to peace as it is to war”. We also heard from an imam who welcomed us to a Sufi

“Our driver, Edin Huskovic, was there when the Old Bridge in the nearby city of Mostar fell—victim of mortar fire. It has since been reconstructed and we exclaimed over its beauty, only for Edin to silence us in halting yet pointed English: ‘Bridge [we] can rebuild, people [we] cannot rebuild.’” –Esther Bagot

Monastery (called a Tekke) at the foot of a hidden waterfall in the tiny village of Blagau. Even such a remote place was not immune from the fallout of siege and fighting. At the height of the Bosnian War, the Blagau Tekke housed and fed 20,000 refugees–8,000 more than the village’s normal population of 12,000. We ate local street food, a pastry with meat stuffing called ‘burek’. This food harkened back to the days of the Turkish Ottoman Empire. But there would be no eating or drinking for the devout Muslims around us until a cannon was fired to signal sundown. Our arrival in Sarajevo coincided with the third day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Sarajevo is a city of paradoxes. Inscribed on the path just beyond the bazaar is a compass marking the dividing line between East and West. Sold in the Bascarsjia were mounds of brass utensils, dishes, and tiny handled saucepans, used for brewing the thick and strong Bosnian coffee favored here. Although Bosnia and Herzegovina is a place where Christians, Muslims, and atheists have coexisted for centuries, this region has never lacked for metal, providing armaments and ammunition in times of war. Elsewhere, in the Hapsburg-influenced modern part of Sarajevo, occasional sites of shelling from the Bosnian War (circa 1992-1995) were filled in with bright red acrylic but otherwise left alone, creating “Sarajevo Roses” in the ruined sidewalks to honor and remember the dead. Rows upon rows of graves featured death years 1994 or 1995--thousands of people, their lives cut short at rest beneath the turf. Although the Balkans Wars nearly predated a number of our group, the horrors of war and the subsequent need for peace hung heavy around us. Following this rare chance to see, hear, and take part in peace, social justice, and utter paradox synonymous with Sarajevo, how could we depart for America and home without armfuls of tapestries, paintings, Turkish rugs---any and all Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatian souvenirs on which we could lay hands? For these were reminders of this incalculable experience when we were able to see and understand, however briefly, the meaning behind the mission to be “young men and women for others”--the very essence of the college on the Hill awaiting our return.

ENGAGED IN SERVICE

“Hundreds of students. Thousands of hours, dollars, and beneficiaries. At Spring Hill, we know that service is not just a block in our schedules when we have time; rather, it is the very heart of life on the Hill. Our students serve others in myriad ways through many campus groups. Through the programs of the Foley Center for Community Service, they have dedicated their time to Impact Alabama, the City of Mobile, Taylor Park, Springhill Community Center, Spencer-Westlawn Elementary School, Palmer Pillans Middle school, and dozens of other organizations. I promise to work as hard in serving our College community as our students work in serving the global community. I will strive to replicate their diligence, passion, and kindness.” – Christopher Puto

DOLLARS RAISED FOR CHARITABLE FOUNDATIONS BY OUR GREEK ORGANIZATIONS IN ADDITION TO THE GREAT WORKS OF SERVICE THROUGH THE FOLEY CENTER, SPRING HILL COLLEGE HAS ENTERED INTO A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY OF MOBILE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT TO WORK TOGETHER ON PROGRAMMING FOR THE RECREATION CENTERS. Beginning with the Springhill Recreation Center, we have two projects for the fall as well as the tutoring our students provide on an ongoing basis. Wanda Sullivan, a painting professor, took her freshman LEAP students to design and paint trash cans with the kids at the community center on Saturday, October 17. The idea is that kids are more likely to throw trash into the trash cans if they are attention-getting. The basketball program, led by Coach Aaron Niven, held a coaching clinic for all Parks and Recreation coaches on November 6. Coach Niven and the athletic director at the Springhill Recreation Center have noticed that although Parks and Recreation youth coaches are tasked with teaching the fundamentals of a sport, many need additional training to help them coach Mobile-area children more effectively. Coach Niven invited the coaches from University of Mobile and South Alabama to work with him in putting on this clinic. In addition, the Spring Hill basketball players continue to work with the 11 teams at the Springhill Recreation Center. 2014-2015 PRESIDENT’S REPORT | 15


WHAT WE DO FOR OURSELVES DIES WITH US. WHAT WE DO FOR OTHERS AND THE WORLD REMAINS AND IS IMMORTAL. –Albert Pine

ENGAGED FOR LIFE “Your Spring Hill experience doesn’t end with a diploma at the end of the Avenue; in fact, that is only the beginning. The time you spent here will be part of your life forever. And when you leave this campus, you must go out into the world with the education and skills that you received, and use them to better the lives of everyone whom you encounter. You will continue down a lifelong path pursuing learning, faith, justice, and service. I promise to be here for you every step of the way. I will listen to you, and I will acknowledge your ideas and concerns as we develop and put into action our strategic plan for the future of Spring Hill College.” – Christopher Puto

BILL HOLLEY WAS JUST A CHILD IN THE 1930S WHEN HIS PARENTS DIVORCED, LEAVING HIM AND HIS MOTHER DESTITUTE. As a teenager, he worked odd jobs after school to make ends meet. He rode his bike to Murphy High School and then pedaled to his after school job at Albright & Woods Drugstore at the foot of Spring Hill, where he worked as a soda jerk. Every afternoon, a few of the Jesuits from Spring Hill College dropped in for a drink and camaraderie at the soda fountain. Holley once told his future wife, Marjorie, that had it not been for the Jesuits’ tips, he and his mother likely would not have been able to eat. Bill never forgot their generosity but only passed this story along to Marjorie once, more than 60 years ago. No one on the Hill had ever heard of the Holleys until the fall of 2000. Neither Marjorie nor Bill attended Spring Hill, so when Rinda Mueller, Assistant Director of Major Gifts and Planned Giving, received a note saying that Marjorie Holley arranged to have Spring Hill College in her will, her interest was piqued. She called Marjorie to set up a meeting. When asked why she chose to include Spring Hill in her Will despite having no observable connection to the College, Marjorie explained that she was in quite a quandary when the time came to make decisions about her estate. She prayed and prayed, she said, until finally, she remembered a story Bill told her long ago when they first began dating. Because of this memory, Spring Hill will receive close to $1 million and will establish two endowed scholarships for one male and one female student from Jackson, Mississippi in each class year. Spring Hill is incredibly proud to honor the Holleys’ legacy and the benevolent gifts of so many alumni, parents, and friends by forming leaders engaged in learning, faith, justice, and service for life.
