Program Values

• Reflecting a commitment to solidarity, SCU-community partnerships (and students’ encounters in the community) are marked by mutuality and reciprocal relationships.

• Community partners support student learning regarding dimensions of power and privilege from their own experiences of resilience in the face of struggle or vulnerability.

• Participating faculty guide students in identifying and probing integral connections between course content and community context.

• Students’ experiences and assignments from various disciplines prompt reflection about their citizenship in local and global communities, moral development and vocational discernment.

• ICJE staff supports all participants in drawing deeper connections with key intellectual resources of the distinctively Jesuit, Catholic tradition of education.
