Opportunities for Faculty and Staff 

The Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education provides ways for SCU faculty, staff, and administrators to deepen their understanding of SCU’s Jesuit, Catholic mission,
to make it their own, and to discover and experience some of the many facets of Ignatian spirituality.
