Resurrection, the Christian feast of life, occurs in spring, when new growth emerges everywhere. Just this past weekend, our famous Santa Clara University roses blossomed almost overnight in the sunshine that followed a particularly rainy week. Seeing those roses bloom, from small buds to glorious, fragrant roses is an inspiring reminder of our role as the Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education. |

Jesuit education is like tending rose plants, which means encouraging growth, keeping pests at bay, and tilling the soil. Our late Jesuit General, Father Kolvenbach, famously said “The real measure of our Jesuit universities lies in who our students become.” One of the joys of my position is seeing intelligence, insight, and compassion flourish in the lives of students and the alumni they become. To know that their Jesuit education helps students and alumni build a world in which people have reason to believe in the triumph of love over death, is among our greatest blessings.
