Next Shared Mission Program Event Is April 9
04/01/2025
SLU’s Division for Mission and Identity invites all Faculty and Staff to participate in the Shared Mission program on Wednesday, April 9, at 11:30 a.m. in the Pere Marquette Gallery.
The Shared Mission program offers an in-depth, community-based opportunity for faculty, staff, administrators and trustees of Saint Louis University. This foundational program opens the door for deeper participation in the wide variety of mission programs offered by SLU's Division for Mission and Identity.
The ongoing formation of SLU's community strengthens the Catholic Jesuit mission of the university, a mission steeped in over five centuries of history in the Ignatian tradition yet arguably more vital now than ever before.
Over the course of an academic year, six Ignatian luncheons bring together small group cohorts to meet, learn, discuss, and integrate the history, impact and lived reality of the Jesuit mission and Ignatian identity of Saint Louis University. Participants in the Shared Mission program come from diverse academic, professional and religious backgrounds.
All are welcome to participate as organizers seek to form an Ignatian “band of companions” centered on mission as SLU seeks to build a community of belonging.
Session 6 focuses on The Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm. Organizers will receive a sence of how Ignatian service, scholarship, and spirituality are part of the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm.
The questions we will ponder are:
- How do the steps of the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm play out in the daily experiences of your department?
- What is at stake if we are not deliberate about reflection before taking action?
- What is required when we recognize we have failed?
- Lunch will be served.
