The Commons: A gathering place for Seattle University faculty and staff

Jerry Cobb, S.J., listens as a parade of admirers sing his praises at a farewell reception on May 26. Father Cobb is taking a leave from SU to begin two new positions with the Oregon Province of the Society of Jesus. At the reception a number of entreaties were made to Cobb to return to SU. Ever the English scholar, he assuring said he was looking at his leave from SU as “the end of a chapter and not of a book.” (Photo by Chris Joseph Taylor)
