The USI Society for Arts and Humanities (SAH) is a community of students, faculty, alumni, and supporters dedicated to enriching the creative, scholarly, and cultural life of the University of Southern Indiana. As the Society returns with renewed focus, it continues to bring together those who believe the arts and humanities are essential to a vibrant campus and a thoughtful, engaged community.
As we relaunch, SAH is focused on creating unique opportunities for engagement and enrichment. Through special events, behind-the-scenes access, group experiences, and conversations with artists and scholars, the Society offers members distinctive ways to deepen their knowledge and connect with the creative work happening at USI and beyond. At the same time, we continue our long-standing commitment to supporting students through research assistance, travel to conferences and exhibitions, and experiential learning opportunities.
We are actively rebuilding the Society, and this website is a work in progress as new programs and events take shape. Be sure to check out our upcoming event below as we begin this next chapter.

In 2017, Anthony Rintala, Instructor in English, took Lauren Abney and Courtney Marshall, respectively the editors-in-chief of the 2016 and 2017 editions of FishHook, to the ICPA conference to represent FishHook and, ultimately, to pick up a few awards for the 2016 issue, which they both worked on.
While there, they sat in on presentations by the staff from other, more settled journals, and networked with their peers from throughout the state.

Because of the Society of Arts and Humanities program and scholarship I received, I was able to get more involved in the Arts program.
This involvement led to my internship at Publishing Services on campus where I would eventually return as a Senior Graphic Designer for a few years before moving on to other opportunities.
So many of the experiences that I had at USI played a huge role to where I am today; studying abroad, participating in the National Student Advertising Competition, working as a teacher’s assistant…the list goes on. The Society of Arts and Humanities scholarship is at the foundation of all of those experiences.
