Many Minds. One Purpose.
At Stonehill, our ‘one purpose’ is to educate “the whole person so that each Stonehill graduate thinks, acts, and leads with courage toward creating a more just and compassionate world.”
- CHALLENGING and ACCESSIBLE FACULTY
Stonehill’s Faculty like teaching undergraduates. They make the time to challenge and champion their students inside and outside of the classroom, conducting co-research projects with them via the Student Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) and advising them on their academic pursuits as well as their future professional lives.
Ashley Kennedy '10Neuroscience“Stonehill's professors offer excellent personal guidance and care deeply about student achievement. Their challenging classes are designed to allow students to explore all that there is to know about each major.”
Vincent Oddo '08Psychology“Professor Coogan gives individual attention to all his students, and provides resourceful insight on my work, challenging me every step of the way.”
Colleen Smaldone '10Health Care Administration“I’ve always found that the faculty at Stonehill are always ready and willing to help me. They’re really enthusiastic about learning and helping students improve, which makes it even easier to approach them when I do need help.”
- PERSONNEL ATTENTION
Every member of the Stonehill community is actively engaged in supporting students’ growth and development. Faculty, members of the clergy, administrators and staff know many of our students by name and invest themselves in their success.
Students interviewed fellow students on this topic and here is what they revealed about their own experiences at Stonehill.
Khalid Abdi ‘08Health Care Administration“Coach Boen helped ground me so that I could flourish at Stonehill as an athlete, President of Diversity on campus and a Healthcare Administration major.”
Kristen Davis ‘10Environmental Studies“I like how the Professors are always available. They know who I am inside and outside of the classroom, and you get to relate to them on a whole different level. They get to know what my interests are and take care to make note of them as they teach me. ”
Sam Sheller ‘08Biochemistry“Because Stonehill’s classes are often small, I’ve had the opportunity to develop personal connections with all of my professors. I know that throughout my four years at Stonehill I got the personal attention I could never have received at a large institution.”
- YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS
Stonehill's nationally recognized programs, internships and student research opportunities cultivate skills and sensibilities that contribute directly to our students' continued success after graduation.
Laura Lombardo '10English“My advisor, Professor Wendy Peek, has been a great help in guiding my decision to pursue internships in both Chicago and New York City.”
Steph Ball '10Sociology/Spanish“Next year, I plan on studying abroad for the fall and spring semesters. In the fall, I’m studying in Granada at the Institute of International Studies, and in the spring I’ll be attending Stellenbosch University in South Africa. Everyone at Stonehill was really supportive and helpful in making this possible.”
Macsonny Onyechefule '08English“Last semester, I took part in the New York City Internship Program. I interned at Teale Edwards Productions, in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood, transcribing raw footage for the Food Network television show, “Everday Italian.” I also got to look at feature scripts for HBO.”
- LUX ET SPES
In fulfillment of its motto, Lux et Spes (Light and Hope), the College community fosters the ability to see and the courage to act.
Sara Roderiques '10Chemistry“Before I came to Stonehill, I went to church out of obligation. Getting involved in Campus Ministry's programs like Chapel Choir, CROSSINGS Student Ministry, retreats, and HOPE trips has definitely helped me grow as a spiritual person.”
Ricky Pickering '10Finance/Economics“When I was in high school, I wasn't active in the church. However, during my time at Stonehill, I have cultivated my own religious development through various voluntary and spiritual activities. ”
Lisa Robbins '10Sociology/Gender Studies“Campus Ministry has provided me with the opportunity to travel to New York City and help students who have recently immigrated to the United States. The experience led me to decide to apply to the Stonehill Semester in the City program.”
- BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS
Our striking 384-acre campus, built on the former Ames Estate, boasts verdant fields, gorgeous flowering trees, lush woodland trails and an elegant pond.
Patrick Higgins '10Biology“I spend the majority of my time outdoors, running or hiking in the woods. I also love spending time on the quad playing games and stuff with my friends.”
Lisa Coletti '11Elementary Education/English“The Stonehill campus is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. There are always students playing sports on the quad or going for a run. It’s like having a really big backyard. ”
Nick Vardaro '11Undecided Business“Stonehill’s campus is a little community in itself. Every where you go, people are outside enjoying the open grass and landscape.”
