President Paul L. Locatelli, S.J.Father Kolvenbach saw something distinctive about Santa Clara when he appointed me Secretary of Higher Education for the Society of Jesus: namely, Santa Clara's progress in advancing his vision for Jesuit education. I must say that I am able to do this new job and continue as president only because I have great confidence in our faculty, students and staff to do what they do best: be a community of scholars who have a passion for learning. I wish to reiterate that fashioning more humane and just communities is the key aim of Jesuit education. May we all continue to learn and to socialize and to serve our God and each other with respect and with love. Love is our calling, and love is the gift we all share. In love, we celebrate and value each other and all people – people of different races, colors of skin, languages spoken, national origin, and sexual orientation. Consequently, let us together work to enrich our community and learn to make Santa Clara and the world in which we live more humane and just. Paul Locatelli, S.J. |
