OUR MISSION, VALUES, VISION

  • OUR MISSION

    To initiate, here in the heart of Silicon Valley, an inclusive, ongoing exploration of technology’s impact on human flourishing in all its dimensions

  • OUR VALUES
    Activating the Jesuit, Catholic heritage of Santa Clara University, Tech and the Human Spirit values:
    Human flourishing — across all sectors of society and all dimensions of the human experience: mind (invention, knowledge creation and sharing), body (action, health, safety, resources), and spirit (free will, connection to something larger than self, meaningfulness, dignity).
    Innovation — facilitating human interconnection, knowledge sharing, and the creation of revolutionary tools and solutions.
    Inquiry — interrogating the status quo, exploring new ideas, asking and the largest questions that can be asked about human existence
    Reflection — the necessary preparation for action with impact
    Collaboration — across all sectors of society and business
    Inclusivity, co-responsibility and access — including all voices in the conversation and ensuring that all, particularly disenfranchised communities, benefit from innovation
    Impact — making a positive difference, today and in the future
    Optimism — about the enormous possibilities of technology for positive impact on every field of human life and work
  • OUR VISION

    To initiate an inclusive exploration of technology’s impact on human flourishing in all its dimensions;

    To help foster technology that supports integral human flourishing in all its dimensions, particularly for the disenfranchised;

    To build constituencies of interest in the topic of technology and human flourishing – across sectors of interest and expertise
