"The Ignatian Center has allowed me to work with others 'outside my world' and offers many opportunities in which to live the Jesuit mission and understand the Jesuit worldview. ICJE speaks to our entire family - its global mantra and its local authenticity excite us, as new generations of SCU students experience Jesuit education, brought to life through ICJE's programs and activities."

“I support the Ignatian Center as it leads many of the programs that truly differentiate the Santa Clara experience from other distinguished universities. Santa Clara University educates it’s students far beyond the classroom, and the Ignatian Center is the driving force.”

"It was Fr. Mick McCarthy (former ICJE Executive Director) and his vision for Thriving Neighbors that inspired me to re-engage with The Ignatian Center. Since rejoining the board 6 years ago, I’ve realized the importance our center plays in educating compassionate young adults. Whether through Arrupe Engagement, Thriving Neighbors, Immersions or the Bannon Forum, students engaged with the Ignatian Center will make a difference not just in their communities, but in the world."

"We are so proud to be involved with the ICJE! As young alumni, we felt it was very important to give back to Santa Clara not just in a monetary sense, but also to help shape the future of the programs that the ICJE provides. In choosing to support the ICJE, we are choosing to support students and initiatives which are instilling the Jesuit values of commitment to service, development of one's personal potential to impact the world for the better, and linking faith with justice. All of which have affected us deeply and helped shaped who we are today."

“I am honored to have the opportunity to work with the Ignatian Center. Seeing first-hand the Thriving Neighbors program is beyond moving. Watching both the families that receive support and the students that get an opportunity to learn the incredible value of giving back. The Ignatian Center is truly the “Heart and of Soul” of Santa Clara. Through Thriving Neighbors, Immersions and Community Based learning students get an opportunity to figure out their direction and incorporate perspectives and intention, it allows them to figure out how they can make the world a better place, showing the Jesuit spirit. I am so thankful for all they do for our students and community.”
