MISSION WEEK

On Mission | In Solidarity

This past November, the Division of Mission and Ministry hosted SCU's inaugural Mission Week. This week-long celebration of the University's mission centered on its Jesuit roots and brought together staff, faculty and students. As we look back at the many events and gatherings that comprised the week, it is clear that this is what mission looks like at SCU.
