Community and Government Relations
We partner with community and corporate organizations, government agencies and individuals who support our Jesuit, Catholic mission in creating a more just world through a life of service.
We seek partnerships that:
- Encompass all levels of education
- Touch the Jesuit, Catholic community
- Enhance our health care initiatives and relationships
- Reach underserved and diverse communities
- Collaborate with government and civic agencies
We develop community programs that foster:

- Service Learning - Forms students into "men and women for and with others" through experiential learning and reflection.
- Community Service - Enables faculty, staff and students of the University to carry out the Jesuit mission of service and empower them to examine, engage and change the world.
- Faculty/Staff Community Participation - Time devoted to service on boards, commissions and committees-locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
