MOBILE, Alabama – Spring Hill College (SHC) Athletic Director Jim Hall will be stepping aside from his position at the College as of October 12 to assume the role of Athletic Director at Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin."Leaving SHC is definitely bittersweet," said Hall. "I have thoroughly enjoyed my nine years on The Hill and take great pride in the advancements and accomplishments we have made. Now that the NCAA transition is complete, our teams are positioned for a lot of success in the years to come and I look forward to following their progress."
Since coming to The Hill in October 2009 from the University of Great Falls in Montana, Hall led the SHC efforts to join the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) as Spring Hill became the first non-Historically Black College or University member of the SIAC in its 100-year history. He then led the SHC transition from the NAIA into full NCAA Division II membership in July 2018. Hall also directed the addition of men's and women's Outdoor Track & Field and Beach Volleyball as NCAA varsity sports, the implementation of junior varsity programs and a focus on growth in intercollegiate club sports.
"Jim Hall's leadership was instrumental in the College attaining full NCAA Division II membership," said Dr. E. Joseph Lee, interim President of Spring Hill College. "His focus on success is reflected in the significant growth of our Badger Athletics program both on and off the field. We wish Jim and his family all the best in their new opportunity."
