Service to the community is a rich part of our heritage which continues today through the endeavors of our students, faculty, staff and alumni, who graciously give of their time and talents to a number of organizations, locally and abroad.
Our designation as a compassionate university means that we are not only being recognized for our history of compassion through service, but for our pledge to work diligently to expand our capacity for compassion as individuals and as a community of learning—both in the classroom and out in the world.
As part of the compassionate university movement, we are working to change the way human beings view our world. At Spalding we teach our students that philanthropy is embracing advanced global citizenship.
