Authored Scholarship

CEIE Scholarship unfolds as a journey of Ignatian discernment, a guiding Jesuit insight. The CEIE Scholarship program convenes scholars and practitioners across disciplines to engage with pressing moral and social challenges, inviting contributors to weigh diverse perspectives and emerge with leadership practices grounded in justice and adaptive response.

Leadership Academy

The Leadership Academy at CEIE draws upon the Ignatian principles of values discernment, personal action, and individual and collective transformation. When we cultivate a sense of core purpose, awareness and wisdom grow, as does our leadership in responsibility to ourselves, to our communities, to the spaces where we work, and to the places we call home.

Engage. Learn. Grow. Lead.
