The Compassionate Action Network reports the following, “Spalding University, located in Louisville, Kentucky, is the first university in the world to be designated a 'compassionate university' by the International Institute for Compassionate Cities. The decision by the Spalding leadership to meet the requirements of the Institute was made as the Louisville Metro Council voted to make Louisville a Compassionate City.
Spalding is one of the most historic institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, combining a sincere dedication to comprehensive, modern education with a genuine respect for its rich academic heritage. Spalding evolved from the Nazareth Academy, founded by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth in 1814 near Bardstown, Kentucky.
Refining the Campaign
The decision to affirm the Charter for Compassion and to develop a plan for implementing a culture of compassion at Spalding follows months of consideration and discussions with Spalding President Tori Murden McClure. By confirming and certifying Spalding, the Institute is able to have a respected institution “try on” the mantle of a Compassionate University and add essential experience to the process of refining the institute’s expectations, processes, and requirements for the International Campaign for Compassionate Universities and Colleges.
