I graduated from Seton Hill in 2012 and yes, it was coed then, but the spirit that you described, of empowerment and encouraged is still very much alive and kicking. Oh and the cafeteria is still open late during exams, though there aren't trays to borrow for sledding anymore.

I happened upon your blog today, the first day of 2014, New Year's Day, a day when our motto, Hazard Yet Forward, fills me with courage to step boldly into unwritten history. I was a Fifth Maura frosh and then a Brownlee upperclasswoman for the rest of my sojourn on the Hill, 1974-1978. When I went back to give my much younger sister the "insider's" tour, my Brownlee room was on display, red velvet rope and all, for all prospective students to view as a model room. "Freshmen?", I queried our official tour guide, "why show these rooms to freshmen?" I thought they should see the freshman dorms of Maura, upper Can. and Lowe, and Admin. "This IS a freshman dorm now," smiled the young guide. I have to admit, I felt a little bit of hot color come creeping up into my face at the thought. When I mentioned taking the elevator to the roof to walk up to Fifth Maura, the guide almost giggled. We were told that no one crossed the roof anymore, too dangerous. The elevator stopped at Fourth. Craziness! Little changes here and there made me sad, but I realized that my sister wouldn't miss them. Life goes on. SHC prepared me well for life outside of acadamia, and even though I left quite a bit of promise at the gate, I wouldn't change my college experience at SHC for anything. Now, even Mrs. Boyle is gone, and there aren't too many people left there who would know me. Hazard Yet Forward.

My era was 79-82. I met friends there that I still have. My application to my education may not have been the best at the time, I learned so much about how to conduct my life & relationships there. And that has been worth every penny.Pagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06059830739317209421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10254233.post-24395600387835285802011-05-10T07:56:55.467-07:002011-05-10T07:56:55.467-07:00I attended "the Hill" from 1996-2000 and...I attended "the Hill" from 1996-2000 and while I'm thrilled that my cousin's son is attending my alma mater, I feel something precious was lost when it went co-ed.

I was hired in 2003, so I never knew Seton Hill College, but I've learned quite a bit about the school's past from the faculty staff who've been here for a long time.<BR/><BR/>I enjoyed reading this glimpse into Seton Hill's past.Dennis G.
