At random times throughout the academic year, the Ignatian Center hosts "Pop-Up Examens" at different locations on campus. The Examen was created by St. Ignatius of Loyola as a technique of mindful reflection on the events of the day in order to detect the presence and invitation of the Divine.
A team of faculty, staff, and students will take turns leading the Examens. The team hopes to provide a calm, welcoming presence for 10-15 minutes each week as we journey together in community through the Examen. We hope students, faculty, and staff from any religious, secular, or spiritual identity feel supported and welcomed in this experience. Invitations go out just a few hours before, so keep your eyes open!
"The team that has led these Examens have been so gentle, kind, and supportive. Taking a few minutes out of my day to pause and reflect is helping me understand just how essential the reflection process is at a Jesuit University."
