鈥淎 retreat experience for staff to discuss the vocation of working at a university鈥�
The mission of Boston College, as a Jesuit and Catholic university, includes the intellectual, social, moral, and spiritual formation of its students. What role does the faculty and staff鈥攁 group that includes people of different faith traditions as well as atheists and agnostics鈥攑lay in this formation?聽 We might see ourselves as educators of the mind, but do we have a role in shaping the heart and the spirit as well?聽 How do we understand and go about whole-person education, assuming we鈥檙e inclined to do so?
In his 2000 speech at Santa Clara, Fr. Peter Hans Kolvenbach, S.J. said that the 鈥渞eal measure of our Jesuit universities lies in who our students become.鈥� Do we know what we want our students to become? What role do we play, as mentors and conversation partners, in their journeys? Join us on a seminar-like retreat where colleagues gather in a peaceful setting to discuss the vocation of working at a university.
