President's Updates

My greetings to each of you as we head into the homestretch of the 2018-2019 academic year here at Seattle University. Our School of Law has already celebrated its Commencement and the other members of the Class of 2019 will follow suit when we hold our undergraduate and graduate ceremonies on June 16. It promises to be a wonderful day made all the more special by our honorary doctorate recipients: Sister Helen Prejean, author of the book Dead Man Walking; James Martin, S.J., a nationally acclaimed author and speaker; and José Alberto “Chepe” Idiaquez, S.J., president of the Universidad Centroamericana, our sister Jesuit university in Managua, which continues to deal with violence arising from a crackdown by the Nicaraguan government that began last spring. Sister Prejean, Father Martin and Father Chepe are paragons of justice. It will be a great blessing to have them with us for Commencement.
