- Laudato Si’ across the Curriculum
This professional development program serves faculty at ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ and other Jesuit and Catholic universities and high schools through online summer workshops. The program supports curricular design to help students understand, reflect, and act on the twin crises of social and environmental justice identified by Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si’.

- Student Research Opportunities
Each year, we provide many research opportunities in our courses and research assistantships to ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ students. We are seeking funding to develop a program of additional internships and fellowships for students to conduct research with community partners with ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½ faculty mentoring during the summer and the academic year.
- Sustainable ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½: Leading Through Laudato Si'
The Initiative helps to implement ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½’s sustainability strategic plan, led by the university’s Center for Sustainability and the Division of Mission and Ministry. Rooted in Pope Francis’ encyclical Laudato Si’, the process engages stakeholders from across campus to deepen our integration of ÃÛÌÒµ¼º½'s mission and connect our efforts with over 130 other Laudato Si’ universities worldwide.
