Student Leadership - Past, Present, and Future
While the summer of 2021 draws to a close, we feel a sense of excitement all across the University as staff, faculty, and students are returning to campus. Although these last few months have given us time to reflect on past programming and plan for a new academic year, nothing can replace the energy and joy that students bring to our work.
One of the most important priorities of the Ignatian Center programming is to cultivate empathy. For students, we help them deepen their commitment to accompanying other people and serving community needs.
- Journeying Towards Justice tells the story of two recent graduates and their formation as leaders through a number of programs at the Center.
- 2021 Jean Donovan Fellows gives us a current glimpse into fellows' powerful experiences working with non-profit organizations this summer.
- Thriving Neighbors Fellows & Arrupe Fellows introduces the new group of students who will serve throughout the year in the Center's community-based learning programs.
We have missed our students tremendously and look forward to learning about their summer adventures and plans for the upcoming year - here, there, and everywhere.
