Mission Statement
University Ministry serves the holistic education of our students by attending to the faith, spiritual and religious formation of the University community. In collaboration with student leaders, staff, faculty, and administrators, we promote a vision of the way of proceeding set forth by St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus. Embracing our common human dignity created in God's image and likeness, we foster a greater respect for the truth, goodness, and grace to be found in a diversity of faith traditions and people of every culture, race, language, and economic status.
The ideals and values of our Christian, Catholic and Jesuit traditions comission us to offer a welcoming environment and supportive services to all members of the University community. We assist the formation of our students as "contemplatives in action", to allow God's spirit to illUMinate them with an ever deeper experience of the love of God and more generous response to that love by their passionate commitment to service and justice as men and women with and for others.
