The Jesuit University: 
Are We Jesuit or Are We University?

The heart of Jesuit education calls us to discover through our hopes and dreams what God is desiring of us.  The heart of American University education calls us to compete in the marketplace for students, faculty, staff, dollars, and achievements.

Raful and Mahern will discuss their experience and vision of how the Jesuit mission is sometimes lived out and sometimes thwarted by the work we do on campus and beyond.
