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.
