In the Ignatian Pedagogy Series, participating faculty will form themselves more deeply in the connections between present-day research into student learning in higher education and the 450 year-old Ignatian pedagogical tradition. Through a series of workshops, coupled with short readings, follow-up class activities, and short reflection assignments, participating faculty will learn how Ignatian Pedagogy aligns with current research into student learning and how best to apply it to teaching their own disciplines.

In the Ignatian Pedagogy Series, participating faculty and staff will form themselves more deeply in the connections between present-day research into student learning in higher education and the 450 year-old Ignatian pedagogical tradition.

It has been about engaging the mind, heart, senses, and spirit holistically, inviting students to consider how they will use what they learn to transform the world.

(Jesuit Assistant for Pastoral and Spiritual Outreach at the Center for Jesuit Education), and Jenny Loertscher (Professor of Chemistry and Faculty Associate at the Center for Jesuit Education).
