Guided by our Jesuit ideals and commitment to accompanying those who have been excluded, we strive to foster a culture that is inclusive for all. Care and compassion characterize our teaching and mentorship, and we actively apply research in support of those most in need. Through our curriculum, placements, programs, and service trips, students learn how to apply best practices that empower all people to thrive.
Our students represent a variety of life experiences, personal interests, and professional goals. Together with our supportive faculty and staff, they make up our vibrant community.
“The architecture of diversity and difference enables us as faculty to advance a broader, richer, and deeper understanding of how professionals in education and applied psychology can create a more just and compassionate world. Our diverse identities and experiences shape our inquiries and the meaning we make of our conclusions, allowing us to compose a more complete understanding of the public good. ”
