The Jesuit Center
Introduction
The °®¶¹´«Ã½ of Scranton is animated by the 450-year old living tradition of Jesuit education.
This tradition, which is rooted in the broader and deeper tradition of Catholicism, is sustained by the on-going commitment of men and women whose daily work gives shape and life to the °®¶¹´«Ã½.
Their work is the visible face of the °®¶¹´«Ã½. The faith and vision that motivate that work are the soul of the °®¶¹´«Ã½. The Jesuit Center is committed to helping all who work at The °®¶¹´«Ã½ of Scranton understand and integrate their faith and their work in the context of our living tradition.
The Jesuit Center seeks to be a resource for all who work at The °®¶¹´«Ã½ of Scranton who ask themselves the seemingly simple question, “What difference does it make that I work at a Jesuit university?”
Mission Statement
