Organizational Identity
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.
Mandate and Structure
The MI cluster focuses on four functional areas of Ignatian formation and social engagement that are also linked to the Universal Apostolic Preferences and the University’s strategic priority areas:
- Ignatian Spirituality Formation (ISF)
- Ignatian Leadership Formation (ILEAF)
- Social and Environmental Engagement for Development and Sustainability (SEEDS)
- Health, Care, and Well-Being (HCW)
Each subcluster is headed by an Assistant Vice President who reports directly to the Vice President for Mission Integration.

Food for thought: Takeaways from the Freshman Enhancement Program
The Ateneo Department of Mathematics once again offered its Freshman Enhancement Program (FrEP) to all first year BS Mathematics students. FreP is meant to solidify the fundamentals of freshman math majors while navigating their math classes in their first year. FrEP was originally scheduled from August 17 to September 14, with each session being held on Thursdays — starting at 5 pm and ending at 7 pm. However, due to the sudden cancellation of classes last August 31, the program concluded on September 21, 2023.
