Strategic Goals
- Utilize Ignatian/Jesuit pedagogical methods and values, particularly the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm of context, experience, reflection, action, and evaluation, and the Jesuit charism such as cura personalis (development of the whole person in mind, body, and spirit).
- Promote reflection and discernment to encourage thoughtful consideration of life events and openness to spiritual guidance in decision making.
- Seek and find the divine in all things, peoples, cultures, areas of learning, human experience, and the environment ('finding God in all things').
- Embody the magis by going beyond what is expected, interacting with the world with generosity, excellence, empathy, and commitment to the common good.
- Demonstrate commitment to the Catholic Intellectual Tradition or Catholic Social Thought, including themes such as the preferential option for the poor and vulnerable, solidarity with the human family, and care for the environment.
- Advance social justice in the spirit of 'the faith that does justice' and foster the idea of being 'contemplatives in action'.
- Affirm the complementarity of faith and reason, encourage dialogue between faith and science, and pursue the search for truth.
