CAMPUS CULTURE & COMMUNITY
¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉäy Mission
On the Bell Tower in the middle of campus are inscribed words that inspire our mission, vision, and core values:
“You are called by the Society of Jesus to be men and women who reflect upon the reality of the world around you with all its ambiguities, opportunities, and challenges, to discern what is really happening in your life and in the lives of others, to find God there and to discover where God is calling you, to employ criteria for significant choices that reflect Godly values rather than narrow, exclusive self-interest, to make decisions in the light of what is truly for the greater glory of God and the service of those in need, and then to act accordingly.â€
– Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J., 29th Superior General of the Society of Jesus, 1997
