Stonehill named a 2022-2023 College of Distinction
The College is recognized for excelling in the areas of student engagement, teaching, community and successful outcomes.
Stonehill College has been recognized for its commitment to helping undergraduate students learn, grow and succeed by Colleges of Distinction, a trusted resource for more than 5 million students, parents and guidance counselors.
Stonehill has been named a 2022-2023 College of Distinction, Massachusetts College of Distinction and Catholic College of Distinction.
Colleges of Distinction built its assessment model on the belief that a thorough selection process requires more than an overview of institutional data and statistics and the size of the endowment. Instead, the organization’s selection process comprises a sequence of in-depth research and detailed interviews with the schools, accepting only those that excel in four specific ways:
At Stonehill, these principles are all informed by the high-impact practices that enable students to have a fulfilling, individualized college experience both inside and outside the classroom.
“When we focus all of our attention on how schools stack up against one another, we lose track of what really matters: the students themselves,” said Wes Creel, founder of Colleges of Distinction. “Every student has individual needs and their own environment in which they’re most likely to thrive. We want to extend our praise to the schools that prioritize and cater to students’ goals.”
Stonehill’s inclusion is informed by the unique ways it commits to achieving success. The effective strategies for student satisfaction and outcomes are the kinds of engaging experiences found here.
