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)

Each subcluster is headed by an Assistant Vice President who reports directly to the Vice President for Mission Integration.

Conversations on Service: Engaging Fr Arrupe's Call Today
We often hear people ask if there’s still hope for the Philippines. The persons featured in this video series are living manifestations that there is still hope in the country. And these persons carry the torch of hope in diverse fields: social entrepreneurship, advertising, manufacturing, finance, insurance, environment, corporate foundations, and NGOs. The videos were produced to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Fr Arrupe’s call for graduates of Jesuit institutions to be persons for others. They feature different ways of being persons-for-and-with-others today.
