Much Ado About Nothing for their fall production. According to director Father Campbell, S.J., this particular show has a unique aspect: “We are doing Much Ado About Nothing by Wil-

liam Shakespeare, and we’ve been very excited about it. It is the very first time I have taken a play request from students, and the students really really wanted to do this. They love Shakespeare.” The students love for Shakespeare is evident in senior and Spring Hill theater veteran, Kyle Halstead. He said, “I’ve always loved Much Ado About Nothing. So, I’m very excited for this play, and I have such expectations for it. I know this is a great cast and we’ll do great with it.” While new members of Spring Hill’s theater might not know what

to expect from the performance, they are still looking forward to the show. Evann Campbell is a freshman this year, and while this is her first play on the Hill, she said, “I really have high expectations for Much Ado About Nothing… I’m really excited to see how this play goes, and hopefully I can make an appearance in next year’s play!” The cast practices about three times a week, and all of those hours have given some actors reason to have high hopes. According to Mitchell Dembowski, “I think we’re gonna do

pretty well, everybody’s been working pretty hard, and...I’m looking forward to opening night.” With the promise of a great performance, this show is sure to entertain. As Father Campbell explains, “It’s a fun show, a lot of comedy involved. [It] might be a little complicated because it’s Shakespeare, but the actors are gonna play it so well that people will know when to laugh and when to cry.” You can catch Much Ado about Nothing in the Arlene Mitchell theater on November 10, 11, 12, and 13.

Purpose this semester, are excited to continue to introduce the program to students and work to facilitate conversations throughout campus about vocational discernment. “Looking backwards,” says Steiert, “Pathways to Purpose is part of the Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) that’s required for the accreditation of the school. It came out of faculty, staff and students ideas of how

we wanted to improve the school.” Steiert notes that it was evident that members of the Spring Hill community needed a career readiness or discernment program, which would focus on showing students how one can live the curriculum. The beginnings of Pathways to Purpose came with the decision that Spring Hill’s career development program would focus on teaching students about

the concept of vocational discernment. According to Steiert, Pathways to Purpose “is rooted in the idea of vocational discernment and helping students, at some point in their four years, to participate in conversations on vocational discernment, have an idea of what their vocational story is and how to continue doing, and living, and telling that story after graduation.” Finding a student’s voca-

tion is not simply working to find a suitable career path. Vocation goes a step further by looking at a student’s particular skills or interests and determining how these qualities give meaning to all facets of their life. Steiert says, “There are a lot of ways to look at vocation, but it is essentially how students want to live their lives, who they want to be, and how

The creation of Spring Hill College’s Pathways to Purpose program was born out of the understanding that students desired a career development program that would help them derive purpose and meaning from their area of study. Stephanie Steiert and Dr. Lindsey Bosko-Dunbar, who launched Pathways to
