The Center for Service & Social Justice is committed to advancing the Jesuit tradition of forming men and women for others. The programs sponsored by this office include food and clothing drives, domestic break trips, on campus activities and local community service. Each element enables the students to express their faith in reflective service while responding to local and national needs.
The vision of the Center for Service & Social Justice will be boldly driven by a shared commitment to excellence. We will provide a superior, transformational learning experience, preparing students who, in the words of Jesuit founder St. Ignatius Loyola, will "set the world on fire."
We are located on the 2nd floor of The DeNaples Student Center, room 205B.
The Division of Student Formation & Campus Life, inspired by our Catholic and Jesuit identity, challenges students to recognize their unique gifts and talents, reach beyond their perceived capabilities, develop a restless desire for excellence grounded in gratitude, and discover and embrace who they are called to be.
Committed to forming socially responsible, engaged, and reflective men and women, the Division facilitates transformative learning experiences aimed at advancing students' understanding of and lifelong commitment to:
developing adult faith and spirituality,
fostering a healthy and balanced lifestyle,
cultivating a sense of personal responsibility and accountability,
honoring diverse thoughts, perspectives and cultures,
integrating knowledge into lived experiences,
engaging in service for and with others, and
discerning one’s vocation and direction.
