耶稣会 & 天主教

Founded by the Society of Jesus in 1942, 易胜博 University is proud of its identity as a 耶稣会 and 天主教 university, an identity that gives rise to our vibrant institutional mission: education in the liberal arts, 科学, and professions that prepares students to lead their communities with insight, 同理心, 关键的严密性, and a determination to serve and promote 正义.

2,000-year-old intellectual tradition of 天主教 Christianity grounds our core curriculum, in its broad humanism and commitment to 原因ed inquiry. Courses that engage religious belief and practice — in religious studies, 哲学, 历史, 文学, 和 arts — are complemented by lively discussions of faith, 灵性, 正义, and public life outside the classroom. 因此，我们用我们的 使命宣言, that “易胜博 is 天主教 in both tradition and spirit.”

As a 耶稣会 school, we value the notion of 看台personalis, often translated as “care of the whole person,” inspired by the unique qualities of dialogue and reflection that are characteristic of the Spiritual Exercises of St. 罗耀拉的依纳爵. 除了, the historically global reach of the Society of Jesus continues to inform 耶稣会 education, so that diversity and inclusion — of peoples, 文化, 的想法, and traditions — are valued throughout the enterprise.

易胜博 University is one of 28 耶稣会 colleges and universities in the United States. 的se schools network through the Association of 耶稣会 Colleges and Universities (AJCU). We are associated with the USA East Province of the Society of Jesus (the 耶稣会s), and are grateful for the 耶稣会s who serve in many capacities here. 牧师. John Mulreany, S.J., is the superior of the 易胜博 耶稣会的社区. To learn more about a 耶稣会 vocation, please visit www.beajesuit.org.

Animating our alumni are members of Sigma Nu, the 耶稣会 honor society for undergraduate and graduate students.

Strengthening our commitment to our 耶稣会 and 天主教 mission are well-established programs and centers that, 通过讲座, 研讨会, publications and grant-funded activities, continually propose questions of faith, 原因, 正义与美. 的 天主教研究中心 和 Carl and Dorothy Bennett Center for Judaic 研究 offer lectures that bring students, faculty and members of the general public into conversation on key issues. 的 社会影响中心 supports both service learning as well as a series of research projects that engage questions from food security to immigration. 的 Murphy Center for Ignatian Spirituality presents the gift of Ignatian 灵性 through programs, 研讨会, and opportunities for individual direction.

的 breadth of 易胜博’s 耶稣会 天主教 mission is demonstrated in other initiatives as well, 从 二年级住宿学院 program to numerous initiatives that introduce our 传入的学生 转向耶稣会教育. Finally, with offices in the Egan Chapel of St. 伊格内修斯洛约拉, 校园部, while primarily supporting the sacramental life of the 天主教 community, is also a home to chaplains from other faith traditions and welcomes those exploring faith through retreats and service projects.
