Spalding University uniquely combines a rich history, a convenient, urban setting, and a commitment to community service, as Spalding attracts students who desire a high quality education in a very personalized setting. The campus, located in the heart of Louisville’s historic preservation district, consists of a dozen buildings ranging from classic late 19th century construction to a brand new, state-of-the-art health and natural sciences facility. Nestled between the primary business and entertainment districts of the city and the charming residential neighborhood of Old Louisville, both trolley and transit service run right through campus, making hundreds of entertainment venues easily accessible for our students, faculty, staff, and visitors. Museums, shopping, restaurants, and even Waterfront Park located along the Ohio River, are just minutes away, many within walking distance.

The Student Development and Campus Life unit at Spalding continuously offers philanthropic opportunities, in keeping with the Spalding mission of serving the community. Our Egan Service Living Program is an innovative approach to offering highly discounted residence hall fees in exchange for volunteering. Spalding’s faculty, administration, and staff are passionate about connecting with students, building relationships that not only ensure academic success, but also establish a strong connection to community both before and after graduation.

Various professional student organizations and extracurricular activities are available on campus such as student government, Nursing Society (SUNS), Student Occupational Therapy Association (SUSOTA), Kentucky Education Association, Council for Exceptional Children, Student Social Work Association, International Student Organization, and Black Student Union. The campus culture is rich with events such as the annual Running of the Rodents in conjunction with the timing of the Kentucky Derby®, which gains the University national media exposure.

Spalding University also offers a comprehensive program of varsity level athletics. As a NCAA D-III institution, the Spalding Golden Eagles compete in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The values of wellness, personal development, teamwork and dedication are at the core of the Golden Eagle athletic program. Success is also a trademark, with several USCAA national championships on the Golden Eagle resume. Following the mandatory 4-year provisional membership period, the Golden Eagles will be eligible for NCAA D-III post-season play in 2012-13.
