As a new academic year begins, Br. Bobby Nichols, SJ, reminds us that in Jesuit education, every subject is a path toward God. As the year unfolds, pay attention to all that your Jesuit education has to offer.

[Le Moyne @LeMoyne]

At Le Moyne, “people for and with others” is more than a value. It’s our way of life. From the moment students set foot on campus, they become part a community where service isn’t an obligation but a shared purpose. #JesuitEducated

Suscipe Prayer of St. Ignatius of Loyola 🕊️ 

Take, Lord, all my liberty. 
Receive my memory, 
my intellect, and will. 

Whatever I have or hold 
you have given to me; 
so I return them to you 
to be used according to your will. 

Give us only your love 
and your grace, 
and with these we are rich enough 
and ask for nothing more. 

Today, we celebrate the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus. We thank St. Ignatius for the nearly 500-year-old gift of Jesuit education. 

Join us for Mass at the Church of the Gesu today at 12:05 p.m. or 5:30 p.m.

[President Kimo Ah Yun @MarquetteUPres]

Grateful for a week of learning, reflection and fellowship with fellow presidents from the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities.

Our time in Rome, Perugia and Assisi challenged us to think deeply about the future of Jesuit higher education and the role our institutions play in forming leaders who serve others.

Conversations centered on education, synodality, immigration and care for our common home, while time in Assisi reminded us to slow down, reflect and stay rooted in our shared Catholic, Jesuit mission.

[Marquette University @MarquetteU]

“I was profoundly moved to share greetings from our Marquette University family during an inspiring meeting with Pope Leo XIV that culminated a pilgrimage of Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities leaders.

The Holy Father affirmed that the Jesuits’ Universal Apostolic Preferences are a proven and trusted guide to address the challenges we face in higher education and in our world.

At the close of our time together, Pope Leo imparted his Apostolic Blessing on us pilgrims, which he extended to members of our institutional communities.”

Dr. Kimo Ah Yun
