The Emily Flint Campus Center
The Emily Flint Campus Center/Spagnuolo Hall is the focal point of co-curricular life for all members of the Franklin Pierce community and guests. Completed in 1986 and renovated in 2006 with the addition of Spagnuolo Hall, this beautiful facility hosts a variety of community life programs, services, and activities. The 29,000 square foot facility houses the Offices of Student Involvement, Community Service and Spiritual Life (meditation area), three dining areas including the Ravens Nest, function areas, bookstore, post office, TV lounge, meeting rooms, Student Government office, Pierce Activities Council, Information Desk, and an automatic teller banking service. The Campus Center is an active facility which is available to the Franklin Pierce community seven days a week. Student staff assists in the responsibilities of managing the Center and provide program support.
Community Service
The Office of Community Service facilitates and supports ongoing service opportunities for university students throughout the Greater Jaffrey/Rindge Community. Students are encouraged to make service a part of their four-year experience at the University. Student Managers recruit, coordinate and arrange transportation for their program participants. Students are also encouraged to create programs to meet an unfilled community need. The following are our current programs: Telephone Tales, Boynton Buddies, Senior Computer Tutoring, Monadnock Humane Society, Horse Power, Head Start, Kitty Rescue and Adoption, Keene Community Kitchen, Jaffrey After School Program, and Sock and Book Tree; all of these are popular options for our students. As student interest changes and community needs change, the options change. The University awards Honors in Community Service to graduating seniors.
Office for Spiritual Life
The Office for Spiritual Life evolved out of traditionally oriented Campus Ministries. The Office facilitates student initiated and requested spiritual and religious opportunities and programs. It also offers occasional choices for spiritual/personal growth and education. The current Associate Director of Student Involvement and Spiritual Life serves as spiritual counselor and guide to students, faculty and staff.
The Center for Outreach Education and Counseling
The Center was established to assist students with their growth and development through the college years. The focus is on furthering self-understanding while encouraging a sense of community. The Center emphasizes education in skills that can be used continuously throughout a person’s life. Through group programs, one can learn how to change selfdefeating behavior, manage anxiety, improve relationships, and develop leadership skills. The Center staff will meet individually with students to find appropriate on and off campus services. The Center for Outreach Education and Counseling is located in the plaza level of Granite Hall in the Health Services area. 225
