We are a community of praxis that promotes the Ignatian holistic formation of University stakeholders toward transformative engagement.
We seek to articulate and advance the Jesuit education mission by:
- Accompanying stakeholders through formation programs and services
- Integrating Ignatian dispositions into various functions of the University
- Nurturing and animating a culture of encounter, care, and service.
