HOW TO REGISTER YOUR PETS, BY DARIAN MILLER
Ernie Banks resting after an exhausting day of being adorable.
By registering a pet as a certified service animal, Spring Hill College students have the opportunity to own dogs on campus. According to Residence Life staff, “Small fish in bowls or aquariums are allowed in the dorm rooms. However, no other animals are allowed besides service dogs.” While many students have fish, only a handful of students have registered animals. One student in particular, Mariah Weinand, a junior attending Spring Hill College, has a registered service dog here on campus. By going through the Residence Life staff, she was able to register her dog, Ernie Banks, as an official service dog. Since August 2015, Weinand has given her dog a home. Lately, dogs have become a more prevalent sight on Spring Hill’s campus. Weinand stated, “Literally everyone has a dog. We’ve become such a dog campus—I love it! I think Ernie Banks really set the tone for getting a dog, but Ernie is a registered service dog, so I need him with me.” Weinand usually walks Ernie Banks around
campus, or the two can be seen lounging on the field behind Portier Place. Registered service dogs often possess tags of official certification and provide physical and emotional support for owners. Service dogs are often used as a way to help the owner complete normal, daily tasks successfully. According to the Americans with Disabilities Act, any breed of dog can be considered a service dog as long as they are able to provide necessary assistance. More often than not, service dogs provide positive effects on the owners. Weinand proclaimed, “Ernie is the best dog ever and everyone loves him. He loves being outside and seeing everyone on campus. He wakes me up in the morning for his walk and really gets my day going. Ernie definitely makes my life a whole lot better—and everyone’s life who he meets!” Numerous dogs are often seen around campus being walked by local residents. Since Spring Hill College is an open campus, others are allowed to walk their dogs along the roads or through-
out the fields. With large areas of open grass, Spring Hill’s campus has recently become a popular ground for dogs to roam around. Any student with a registered, official service animal will not receive disciplinary action for having a dog in dorm rooms. However, the Residence Life staff has stated that, “Failure to correctly register their dog will result in immediate removal of the pet by the owner or the Residence Life staff, and referral to the discipline system. The same actions will be taken if students have any other animals in their dorm rooms since it is not allowed.” Those working in the Residence Life office want to stress the importance of following the correct policies to avoid disciplinary action that could interfere with academics. For more information on pet policies or registering a service animal, contact the Residence Life office at reslife@shc.edu. In addition, students can also e-mail the Assistant Dean of Students and the Director of Residence Life, Peter Rivera, at privera@shc.edu or reach his office at (251) 380-3028.
FAREWELL TO OUR SENIORS By: Desire Phillips Contributng Writer
Spring Hill College will say farewell to 265 badgers on May 7, 2016. In the week leading up to that Saturday, seniors will participate in traditional farewell events, such as the climbing of the cupola, the senior barbeque, the senior class party, and the President’s celebration and reception, which will be hosted by
Dr. Christopher Puto. Some of the seniors shared that leaving SHC will be both a happy and sad moment. Juan Fernando Soto said, “It’s very bitter-sweet. This has become my home over the last four years. I’ve been able to meet so many people here. And every single one has in one way or another changed who I am for the better. I’ve gotten to meet folks from all walks of life [from] all around the
country with different interests; and that’s something that I love about my sweet Sprill. I’m sad to graduate but very excited for the next phase. I’m not saying I’m leaving, because Sprill will always be my home, and I’ll carry it with me where ever I go.” Philip Travis said, “I have mixed feelings about leaving Spring Hill. The four years went by extremely fast. I didn’t expect it to zoom by,
and graduation crept up on me.” Asia Hudson, a sociology and criminology major, said, “I feel very prepared leaving Spring Hill, but I’m also sad to be leaving all the great people I’ve met. Academic wise—I’m so done; but my heart is still here.” The seniors are eager as well. Katie Simoneaux, an early childhood education major, gushed about what she will be doing after graduation.
She said, “I definitely am extremely excited for this new chapter in my life. I got my dream job teaching kindergarten in New Orleans next school year, and I can’t wait to get started!” Hudson exclaimed that she is also excited to be moving on. She will be returning to her home town of Milwaukee, Wisconsin for a teaching position.

Many non-Mobile natives usually return to their home towns after graduation, but some are choosing to remain in Mobile. When asked about his post-grad plans, Travis said, “I’m in the process of getting an apartment to stay in Mobile. I already have two jobs, so I feel pretty secure. I work in two different warehouses making $11 per hour, so it’s great.” Travis, who is a journalism major, also added, “I’m just taking a brief break from journalism. I will be actively searching for jobs in my field. Hopefully, I can find something in Mobile, but if not, I’ll have to branch out.” Soto, a Charleston, South Carolina native, said “[my post-grad plans are] up in the air right now. But I’ll be in Mobile—that’s for sure!” With graduation a little over two weeks away, the ceremony plans are being finalized. According to Cheryl Kirkland, assistant to the college provost, the commencement speaker has already been selected. Kirkland said, “This year’s speaker is Jo Ann Jenkins,
the CEO of AARP. She will also be receiving an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters.” Jenkins is a Mobile native who received her Bachelor of Science from SHC in 1980. She is also a 1998 graduate of the Stanford Executive Program. This will be Jenkin’s second time receiving an Honorary Doctorate in Humane Letters. This type of honor is awarded to people who make significant contributions to society. Jenkins’ performance in public and nonprofit organizations spans a career of 25 years. She has led social impact initiatives such as Drive to End Hunger, which helped older Americans fight hunger, and Disrupt Aging, which fights ageism across all generations. Before joining AARP in 2010 as president of AARP’s affiliated charity, the AARP Foundation, she served as the chief operating officer of the Library of Congress for 15 years. Jenkins is one of the NonProfit Times’ Power and Influence Top 50 for 2013, 2014
and 2015 and has received numerous other awards for her work. Kirkland said the class orator for graduation has not been determined yet, as seniors must first be nominated for the honor followed by a process of interviews and a GPA review. Commencement exercises will begin at 10 a.m. at The Avenue of the Oaks on Saturday, May 7, 2016. If it rains, however, exercises will be held in the Arthur R. Outlaw Recreation Center beginning at 11 a.m. If this does happen, guests will be notified no later than 9 a.m. If you want to see your friends graduate and your home is not in Mobile, you will be allowed to stay in your dorm room until May 7 if you are a volunteer usher for Baccalaureate Mass and Commencement. If you are interested, the link to sign up can be found in the latest campus update email. Congratulations to all of our seniors this year! And remember, “This is not a goodbye, but a see you later.”
SHC continues to beef up summer school
Students taking classes this summer at Spring Hill College will notice two changes from the summer session of 2015. Jennifer Good, associate provost at SHC, said that beginning this year, students will be able to use the oncampus Fairway Apartments (specifically, Langan Hall), for their summer housing. She said this was one of the
students’ most common requests following last summer, when 377 undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in classes. The apartments, complete with furnished kitchens, will help students in their dining arrangements, as there are no meal plans over the summer. The school cafeteria is open only for special events. The students, though,
may use their Badger Bucks to buy meals at the golf course, which is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily over the summer. Also new this summer is the addition of the Summer Scholars Program. The Office of Admissions is inviting rising first-year local students who have been accepted to Spring Hill College and have a track record of high-achieving academic performance to join present students on campus for summer classes. “We would like to give them (incoming freshmen) this opportunity to be introduced to rigorous and quality academic courses that will enable them to get a head start at any institution of their choosing,” Good said. According to Good, summer instruction is offered in two different formats to help students find the best mode of learning to build into their summer schedules. There are two Mini Sessions, which intensify instruction for three hours a day, five days a week (May 11-June 1; and June 2-June 22). There are also two Summer Subsessions, which present instruction at a more leisurely pace
and meet approximately three hours per week (May 11-June 22; and June 23-August 4). Tuition for the classes is $450 per credit hour (or $1,350 for a three-credit-hour class). Online courses are an additional $95 per class. Students wondering about the availability of financial aid are asked to visit with their assigned financial aid counselor, who can look into individual situations and determine eligibility. Good points out that in order to receive a Federal Direct Student loan, a student must be enrolled in at least six credit hours over the course of the summer sessions. Classes offered this summer include ones that satisfy core requirements in English, social science, fine arts, history, lab science, philosophy and theology, as well as major-specific courses for nearly every concentration of study.

Thank You Spring Hill, I Bid You Farewell By: MJ Connell Editor-In-Chief With just barely over two weeks left in my college career I would like to take a moment and reflect on the precious time I spent here at Spring Hill College. I came here on my own, four years ago, not knowing a single soul. Besides the random friend requests from the Class of 2016 Facebook page, I was completely immersing myself into the unknown. I barely knew anything about Mobile, and I had only visited SHC once in the April before my freshman year. Upon my first day on the Hill during Badger Connection, I met several people that I now consider my family. People I would take a bullet for, make a flight to wherever to attend their wedding, people I never would’ve thought I would meet. These people came from all over the country, regions I had never been before and still haven’t seen. Chicago, Miami, Phoenix, Cleveland, St. Louis, New Orleans, the list goes on and on. That’s part of the beauty of Spring Hill College. When I graduated high
school, never in a million years did I think that I would have best friends scattered throughout the United States. SHC gave me something that I will never lose and never forget. I came here knowing no one, my family and friends all still in Philadelphia, and I’m
leaving with a second family. When I was here, miles and miles away from my family, these people made me want to remain here, and I love them all for it. Besides gaining a second family, the next best thing would have to be the experiences I gained dur-
ing my time here. From four fantastic Mardi Gras trips, to studying abroad in Bologna, to the weekend trips to the state schools and beaches nearby, Spring Hill has given me more than I could’ve ever asked from a college experience. I can say this with zero
doubt in my mind that these were the best four years of my life, and it was all because of Spring Hill. I learned how to adapt and thrive on my own and to not be afraid to jump into something totally new and uncharted. I was surrounded by the southern culture that I fell in love with so much I’m sticking around to start my career in the South. Crawfish, jambalaya, king cake, Gulf Coast seafood and all the many other things that make up the South have truly won my heart. In closing, I would like to say thank you, Spring Hill College. Thank you for giving me everything I could’ve ever wanted in my college years. Thank you for being the most beautiful college campus. Thank you for making me into the person I am today, and thank you for making me feel like I can take on anything. I will always have a special place for this amazing institution and its people in my heart.
A New Look for Spring Hill’s Music Scene By: Kerri Ebanks Contributing Writer The Students of Spring Hill College have spoken. They are ready for an entertainment change in the campus life scene and want more performances for the majority to enjoy. In a recent survey students expressed their wishes for more mainstream artists to perform on Spring Hill’s campus. Although Campus Programing Board does host small music festivals like Badger Fest and free concerts on Maclean Plaza during the Weeks of Welcome, students feel like this is not good enough and only about 30% of the student body is in attendance. Several students like Sophomore Anna Miller and Fresh-
man Kameron Powell have expressed their reasoning for wanting a bigger concert lineup at Spring Hill. Anna Miller said “I would like to see The Revivalist play on campus. I go to a lot of their concerts out of town, but the drummer tells me that Spring Hill has not shown interest in inviting them to perform.” As students, the problem we face in regards to entertaining events is that we are not seeing the artist that we have suggested. This is a problem that needs to be dealt with on the administrative level of planning. If the administrators reach out and ask students who they would like to see perform, than it is possible that the student attendance at these events will increase. Fresh-
man Kameron Powell said “I would like him [Kendrick Lamar] to perform at SHC because he is not only a great performer but he also has a great message that needs to be heard and expressed in the SHC community.” Students travel long hours to see their favorite artists perform. There are also many production companies, like Main Stage Productions, that partner with colleges to host mainstream concert artists on campuses across the U.S. Most students on campus only attend the CPB events for free food and leave before the entertainment is even finished with their set. Joy Morris, Assistant Director of Campus Involvement said that “CPB would love to bring a well-known,
nationally recognized band to campus but when you have limited funding and you have a year’s worth of programming, it can create a challenge.” Spring Hill should start reaching out to production companies if they hope to create an interactive campus life that does not only involve giving students free food.

How to Handle the SHC Withdrawl By: Daniela Perez Contributing Writer
With finals quickly approaching and summer right around the corner, it is time to say goodbye to students as they will be leaving Spring Hill’s campus for their final time as a student, while others are making their way home for the first time since they’ve been on campus. After being at school for such a long time, students are often left wondering how to survive the summer nights without being surrounded by the friends they’ve made here on the Hill. Counselor at the Spring Hill College Wellness Center, Dodie Ward, wants to remind us Badgers that, “ this is a hard transition for your family too. They will have to adjust, just like you will be doing.” While being home communication is key and Ward suggests to talk through expectations soon after you get home-what will be expected of you and how you can help out when you are home. Another tip given to us by Ward is “to be flexible and enjoy being back with your family for the few short months. Keep in contact with them- a text is a simple thing to do that can go along way” Lastly, Ward suggests, “to be respectful and help out. Asking your parents, ‘What can I do to help you today?’ will go a long way in having a great summer.” Senior, Emily Hollander, will be leaving Spring Hill’s campus for the final time and will be returning to
Mandeville, Louisiana. She says, “It’s probably the most bittersweet thing I’ll experience. Driving away from this school and knowing I’ll never be required to come back again is going to hit me really hard. Spring Hill is my second home. It’s going to be very sad saying goodbye.” Although she is sad, Hollander is excited and happy for the freshmen. Her piece of advice to them is to “enjoy the time back home and enjoy the rest of your days here! College flies by and four years may seem long right [now] but I promise if you blink you’ll miss it! Soak it all in!” Senior Jenia Bello, will make her way back to Miami, Florida for the final time. She said, “When I first came to Sprill I remember crying because I was being dropped off in a place I didn’t really know. The next year rolled around and there were fewer a tears and many more laughs and this pattern continued. Today I cry because I know this place will no longer be my home. These past four years have changed who I thought I was and made me into the person I always wanted to be but never knew I could. This place really helps to inspire, create, and develop people to their best selves. I look back on these four years and think that I am the luckiest person in the world to have had this opportunity. To anyone that is lucky enough to have another year here I wish to tell you experience every moment, take in every ad-
venture whether it be cupola visits or Cloister visits at 2 AM. It goes by way to fast to not live in every moment.” Freshman, Iriel Evans will return home for the first time. She says, “It’s going to be hard adjusting to living at home for the summer then coming back to my school to work Badger Connection, but I really miss Louisiana and my family.” Brenda Carrada, freshmen at Spring Hill, says that she is super excited to be going home for summer! She continued by saying, “it will be my first time home since last summer, so I’m super excited to be back in Mexico with my family and friends.”e says that her only concern is,” since I haven’t been home since last summer, I’m worried that my parents are going to be strict with me and I
won’t have as much freedom as I do here.” She is also sad to be leaving behind her friends that she has made here on the Hill! It’s a bittersweet goodbye for the seniors as they make their final trip home away from their home here on the Hill. To the freshman, like the seniors said, embrace your next years here at Spring Hill because before you know you’ll be making that last trip down the beautiful Avenue of the Oaks and on your way back home!

From M.D. to Mrs. Claus By: Julia Arenstam Contributing Writer
For Melanie Clark, the days once filled with sterile medical equipment, blinding white lights, and less-than-playful patients now begin with testing new toys, dance-worthy music and children’s laughter. Just before Christmas, Clark, a radiologist, opened Big City Toys and set out to create something unexpected for her customers. Largerthan-life building blocks are stacked to the ceiling, creating a year-long winter wonderland. A massive multi-level playset fills up the back room. Giggling toddlers hop around on inflatable balls while the big kids get to shop for the perfect toy. Switching from a medical mindset
to a more imaginative one is a more logical step than one may think. Big City Toys is far from the stereotypical toy shop that sells oversized piano floor mats and baby dolls. Only educationally oriented, quality toys line the towering tree-trunk shelves. “I have a special place in my heart for engineering toys,” said Clark, who holds an undergraduate degree in engineering. “I was frustrated with not being able to find quality education toys close at hand.” She graduated from Tulane University School of Medicine in 2002 and completed a fellowship at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles before becoming a successful radiologist. However, her frustrations with the healthcare industry caused her to turn childhood
fairytales of toy store ownership into reality. The name Big City Toys came from Clark’s radiology mentor: “When things didn’t go maybe the way we planned, he used to say to us, ‘you know, that’s just like in the big city,’” Life in the big city is unpredictable, something you can’t expect and that is where the beauty of Big City Toys comes from: It’s whimsy. Clark has designed her store to provide quality educational toys with classic local charm and personality. Inside you will be find toys that promote learning in science, technology, engineering and math or STEM, fields from which young girls and women have historically been excluded or discouraged. With two daughters of her own,
Clark said she looked for a way to be more available to them as they begin school as well as be an active part of their education and their imaginations. Both girls attend school near the store and every afternoon come “home” to a magical adventure and play with neighbors and friends that have stopped in. In addition to the toy store, Clark also gives back to the community by sponsoring local events, teaching children’s yoga classes and hosting magical birthday parties. Said Clark: “I think that the possibilities are endless. If you use your imagination and your creativity you can do whatever you set your mind out to, even if it’s crazy like quitting medicine and opening a toy store.”

Senior Ace Sagrera Kisses SHC Goodbye By: Griffin Miller Contributing Writer Being a successful student athlete is tough, but a Spring Hill College senior has done it effectively on and off the field for all four of her years on the Hill. Senior pitcher Caroline Sagrera absolutely owns the record book. The pre-health major from Baton Rouge is a two-time NAIA 1st Team All-America member, 2013 SSAC Pitcher of the Year, 2015 and 2014 Capital One Academic AllAmerica 1st Team and 2014 SSAC All-Academic Team. Sagrera has pitched 895 innings starting 128 times and has a shocking 103-28 record and one save. Pitching 118 complete games with 45 shutouts and eight games without allowing a single hit. Sagrera wanted to highlight, “All of this in addition to my 1000 batting percentage my junior year due to my one successful bunt.” Sagrera remembers one experience pitching as the most fond. During her freshman year, the last
game of the regional tournament, the softball team was playing a team that had beaten them in the beginning of the tournament putting the Badgers into the losers bracket. The team had to beat them twice in order to go on to nationals. After winning the first game, they pulled ahead in the second game. In the final inning the left fielder made a diving catch to win the game. Sagrera remembers that catch saying, “I owe that entire game to her, and I will never forget that play, the play that brought us one step closer to making Spring Hill softball history at Nationals.” Being such a successful pitcher, Sagrera will be remembered on campus as a great softball player, but she wants her legacy to be more than an athlete. Sagrera stated, “I’d like my legacy to show people that it is possible to succeed in both school as well as on the field. I want to be remembered as someone that worked hard and strove for perfection no matter the cost. ” She is successful by working hard and improving every time an opportu-
nity arises. Managing her hectic pre-health course load in addition to playing Spring Hill softball for four years is a real accomplishment. Sagrera has had lots of practice prioritizing and managing her time well. Giving younger student athletes advice, Sagrera expressed, “The hectic schedule is definitely possible to work with. Communicate with your teachers and utilize those miserable bus rides. Gotta do what ya gotta do!” Sagrera is an example for all student athletes trying to balance the hard work load of school and the heavy commitment of playing a varsity sport. We know that Spring Hill College will remember the right-handed pitcher Caroline Sagrera, but what will she remember most? Sagrera said, “Hands down I will remember my teammates. I will never forget the amazing friends that I have made through this sport and this program. Through all of the ups and downs during the last four
years, my teammates, past and present, have made every second of the journey worthwhile.”

Track & Field Continues Success
By: Griffin Miller Contributing Writer
The Track and Field team travels around running and competing in meets all over the region collecting a series of titles for the team’s resume. The Track and Field team has eight meets this semester that they are competing in. Spring Hill College Track & Field team traveled to Hattiesburg, Miss. Competing in their 7th meet of the season. Their final meet of the season is the Kansas Relays in Lawrence Kan. on April 21-13, 2016. So far this season, The Spring Hill College Track and Field team has traveled to Daytona Beach Fla., Birmingham Ala., Clinton and Hattisburg Miss., Lake Charles La., and Atlanta Ga. to compete in invitational and seasonal meets. The Spring Hill Track and Field Team did not get here as quickly as you would expect. Senior runner Robert Louis Treuting said that this is the fourth year that Spring Hill College has had a Track and Field program, making this year’s senior class the first graduating class to be here since the beginning. Treuting said, “Over these four years the track program has grown exponential both in size and character. The head coach, Coach Craig McVey, has done a ter-
rific job building the program into a competitive program… I would just like to congratulate Coach McVey for an amazing first four years for track here at the Hill.” This year, the team has had a lot
of success in their previous meets. Treuting mentioned, “although we are not having a conference meet this season, there has been many members of the team setting personal records for themselves and also break-
ing school records. ” Breaking school and personal records is a difficult task to accomplish, but that is not where this year’s team stopped. This team has six student athletes on the 2016 SIAC, Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, All-conference team. Those six selected being, seniors Jordan Travis and Katie Dolan, and sophomores Matthew Root, Gabrielle Hantak, Korinne Sauvage and Nicole Kotval. Like mentioned earlier, this senior class is special. Treuting said, “What’s so awesome about this senior class is that this is the first group of seniors who started the track program their freshman year.” There are eight seniors graduating this year, Robert Louis Treuting, Phillip Travis, Jordan Travis, Terrence Hinton, Wesley Pietri, Espraranza Pace, Emily Thrush and Katie Dolan. The track and field team has had lots of success this season and looks promising for the future. As these seniors depart, they will be remembered as not only the first group to make it through all four years of this program, but also remembered as eight athletes who excelled on the track.
