Declaring a major is a pivotal step for Stillman College students. It's a key transition into core classes for your major, but it also represents the beginning of your career trajectory. We celebrate this milestone each year with a ceremony and official recognition of our Stillman sophomores. 

Please register below and make plants to attend Thursday. Lineup begins at 10 a.m. at Stinson Auditorium; ceremony begins at 11 a.m. at Birthright.
Stillman College will host a pair of COVID-19 vaccination clinics this month:

  • Sept. 14-15, 8 a.m. - 3 p.m., Birthright Alumni Hall (Alabama Department of Public Health)
  • To help with planning, students who are interested in getting vaccinated are encouraged to fill out an interest form

In conjunction with these clinics, the college will be offering incentives for students who get vaccinated:

  • Partially vaccinated students receive $50 gift card
  • Fully vaccinated students receive $100 gift card and free Stillman parking decal

Read more about vaccination incentives from Marcus Kennedy, dean of Student Life and Housing.

REMINDER:

  • Beginning Oct. 10, 2021, students, faculty, and staff must show proof of vaccination or be listed on the vaccine database to gain entrance at the main gate of Stillman’s campus
  • Free campus vaccination clinics to be held Sept. 14-15
  • Accommodations will be available for students or staff who choose not to be vaccinated
Stillman College students are learning firsthand the challenges k-12 teachers and students face in a virtual learning environment. Through the Greene County Peer Tutoring Program, Stillman students provide virtual after-school tutoring to students each week. The program launched in Spring 2021 and included 12-15 Stillman students who participated regularly. The program will continue later this month with a new group of Stillman mentors.
Eden Black, a senior biology and pre-med major from Mobile, had never tutored prior to joining the program in the spring, but she was motivated after learning of the high rate of poverty in Greene County.
 
“From my own experience, I understand how difficult [living in poverty] can be,” Black said, “and how hard it is to participate in things after school.”
  • Dr. Kevin Harris presenting Sept. 14
  • Stillman President Dr. Cynthia Warrick to speak Sept. 30
To address the gaps of Black Americans working in tech fields, HP is joining with Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Intel and Microsoft this month to present the inaugural HBCU Technology Conference. Stillman students can participate in this virtual conference FOR FREE. Limited spots are available -- register now.
