My daily post theme for 2017 is on Colleges and Universities.

The plan for starting my blog back in 2014 was at the urging of fellow coaching colleagues to share posts on leadership and/or motivation. Somehow that idea got derailed and turned into daily posts on one theme for an entire year.

In 2014 my daily posts were on the “Beer of the Day”, 2015 it was “A Friend of a Friend”, 2016 I wrote about “North Carolina”, and for 2017 I will focus on “Colleges and Universities”.

I have been associated with colleges since I was 18 and I love them. I have coached/worked at four different universities and in my professional and personal travels visited 100’s more. Each college has something in its history that I want to share that to me make it unique or personal.

Name of University: Spring Hill College

Location: Mobile AL

This past weekend my son who lives in Knoxville TN came to visit. That conversation led to how one could travel from Knoxville to the Gulf of Mexico. We discovered that it was possible to do it depending on the size of the boat and how much time you wanted to allow.

If you did that voyage you would end up in Mobile AL. Mobile is home to Spring Hill College, Alabama’s oldest institution of higher learning. SHC was founded in 1830 by Michael Portier, Mobile’s first Catholic bishop.

Spring Hill also has the designation of being the fifth oldest catholic college in the US.

Located in one of Mobile’s most picturesque neighborhoods, Spring Hill’s campus rests on a 381-acre site, is naturally landscaped, and features huge oaks, azalea-lined walkways and an 18-hole golf course. Several buildings are listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
