The Jean Donovan Summer Fellowship (JDF) is named in honor of Jean Donovan, an American woman who lived, worked, and died in solidarity with the impoverished and oppressed of El Salvador in the 1980s. This Fellowship is designed to support undergraduate students who desire to deepen their understanding of social justice issues through a summer community-based learning experience.

Applications for Summer 2023 are open November 14, 2022 - February 15, 2023.

Join SCU's Division of Mission and Ministry for a weekly 15-minute Lunchtime Examen every Thursday. 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. Gratitude is the essential component of the Examen. A team of faculty, staff, and students will take turns leading the Examen each Thursday over Zoom. The team hopes to provide a calm, welcoming presence 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.

Thursdays  |  12:45 PM - 1:00 PM
