Imagining a Hope-filled Future for Workers: A Conversations Magazine Lunch and Discussion
Posted: April 5, 2023
Pope Francis said, “Work is a necessity, part of the meaning of life on this earth, a path to growth, human development and personal fulfillment.” What does it mean to value work and workers here at Seattle University? Join your colleagues for lunch, meaningful reflection and stimulating conversation on the connection between our Jesuit Catholic mission and the dignity of work and workers.
Responding to the opening articles in the current issue of the magazine Conversations on Jesuit Higher Education, campus leaders will reflect on how the Jesuit Catholic mission informs their views of work at Seattle University. The panel will be followed by small group conversation meant to inspire collaboration and deeper integration of the Jesuit Catholic mission in all of our work on campus.
Wednesday, May 3, noon – 1:30 p.m.
Casey Commons
