During last J-term, Allie Cheppa, a senior, went to Mexico with several other Seton Hill University (SHU) students. She said the trip was a good learning experience, but she regrets not having more free time after classes and group excursions.

Getty grant in action on campus

For months, Seton Hill University (SHU) has been expecting the arrival of surveyors from the Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation (PHLF).

Surveyors have started visiting SHU to create conservation plans that would help the university maintain its historical value while also adjusting to its growth.

We want to write what you want to read	10/29/07
Upon reading one of our Setonian issues, one is sure to run across at least one text box of shameless Setonian self-advertising. I'm sure Lorin Schumacher, layout editor, will be angry with me for giving away a trade secret, but to make my point, I had to give a little bit of information.
