Congratulations on your acceptance to Spring Hill College! Now your journey to becoming a Badger has begun. Welcome to the Spring Hill College family! The Center for Student Involvement offers great opportunities to learn more about programs and services here on the Hill over the summer.
Badger Connection 2022
Badger Connection (BC) is our summer orientation event for incoming students.
