March Special

 
undefined
 
Given the coronavirus pandemic, Spring Hill College will begin Spring Break early and extend it to two weeks.  During this time, the campus will undergo deep cleaning and be available primarily to employees.  After these two weeks, employees and students will be online.
 
To aid with these efforts, the Book Nook will be shut down.  From the staff and volunteers of the Book Nook, all the best and take care of yourselves and your loved ones during these challenging times!
