Stonehill College Summary
The following paragraph provided courtesy of wikipedia.
Situated in North Easton, Massachusetts, a suburban community of 23,329 people, Stonehill is located just 22 miles south of Boston on a 375-acre campus, the original estate of Frederick Lothrop Ames. This spirit is reflected in the mission statement of Stonehill College: Education in the Holy Cross tradition is education both of the mind and the heart. the mind will not be cultivated at the expense of the heart.” As a College in the Holy Cross tradition, Stonehill seeks to help students to develop their abilities and to cultivate concern for the dignity of every person and care for the victims of every prejudice. Between being owned by the Ames Family of Easton and the inception of Stonehill College, the grounds were used as a grass landing strip for planes. Another myth is that the daughter of Frederick Lothrop Ames, Sally Ames drowned in the family indoor swimming pool, which is now Alumni Hall, leading to the reasoning as to why Stonehill does not have an on-campus swimming pool. The academic program at Stonehill consists of a minimum of forty courses embracing the following three areas: Students develop knowledge and skills through general education, master at least one major area of study, and have the flexibility to explore other coursework, study abroad, internships, independent research, and other experiences unique to their own educational plans. Stonehill offers more than 60 student clubs and organizations sponsored by a very active Student Government Association. The College’s combination of academic and athletic success has garnered Stonehill the #1 ranking in the country among NCAA Division II schools in the Collegiate Power Rankings that are published by the National College Scouting Association. To advance both the mission of the College and to heighten our graduates commitment to community outreach, Stonehill sponsors the Into The Streets Program, the H.O.P.E. Generally speaking, the admissions indicators are: After years of student urgings and building pressure for “politically correct” ethics, the college’s Strategic Planning Committee voted in the spring of the 2003 academic year that the moniker of the “Stonehill Chieftain” was undesirable for its athletic identity. Among popular choices were The Stonehill Summit, The Stonehill Skyhawks, The Stonehill Saints, The Stonehill Wolfpack, The Stonehill Crusaders, The Stonehill Mission, The Stonehill Shovelmakers, and The Stonehill Blizzard. During the fall semester of the 2005 academic year Stonehill College officially changed the name of its athletic teams to the “Stonehill Skyhawks,” with a brand new mascot known as ‘Ace’, an anthropomorphic purple hawk wearing a scarf, goggles, bomber jacket, and an aviator cap.
