Seton Hill University is a Catholic liberal arts university of about 2,500 students〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.setonhill.edu/about/ )〕 in Greensburg, Pennsylvania, near Pittsburgh. Formerly a women's college, it became a coeducational university in 2002. Recently, Seton Hill received attention for being the first university to provide iPads to all students.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/30/seton-hill-university-hands-out-ipads-to-students/ )〕 == History == The school was founded in 1885 by the Sisters of Charity. It is named for Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774–1821), who founded the Sisters of Charity and who, after her death, was canonized as the United States' first native-born saint. (Seton Hall University and the College of Saint Elizabeth in New Jersey are also named after Elizabeth Ann Seton.) In 1914, Seton Hill Junior college was opened by the Sisters of Charity. With the approval of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Seton Hill College was created four years later.〔 In 1946, 40 male World War II veterans were accepted as students at Seton Hill.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.setonhill.edu/aboutus/history_and_traditions/then_and_now )〕 During the 1980s, men were regularly admitted to many programs at Seton Hill College, including music and theater. In 2002, Seton Hill was officially granted university status by the Pennsylvania Department of Education.〔http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/westmoreland/s_67904.html〕 After president JoAnne Boyle formalized the school's new status as a university, the teams' nickname was changed from "Spirits" to "Griffins," and several men's athletics teams were added, including American football. In 2006, Seton Hill announced it was transferring to NCAA Division II and joining the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC). They had belonged to the NAIA. In 2012, Seton Hill announced its move to the PSAC.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.setonhill.edu/news/view/776 )〕 Seton Hill University received widespread public attention〔(Seton Hill University hands out iPads to students (Endgadget) )〕 after announcing a technology plan that includes providing an iPad to all full-time students, as well a 13" MacBook to all incoming freshmen, and a plan to upgrade the student machines after two years. Upon graduation, students keep both machines. Beginning in the fall of 2013, new full-time students will receive an iPad Mini and new full-time freshmen will be provided with a MacBook Air.〔http://www.setonhill.edu/academics/mobile_learning〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seton Hill University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
