What’s the best way to become a compassionate leader in an increasingly global community?

 

Go out and experience it first-hand!

St. Ignatius of Loyola founded a 500-year tradition of Jesuit education in 1534. Ever since then, followers of Jesuit philosophy have worked for social justice, equity and the greater good. That’s our tradition at Le Moyne College, the youngest Jesuit college in the U.S.

That’s some pretty heavy-duty stuff. You might wonder what that means for life today as a college student. Well, it means you’ll be part of a diverse community where students share experiences that inspire them to make ethical choices, adapt, learn and reach out to help others. Speaking of reaching out and helping others, you'll have the chance to become what the Jesuits call Agents of Change. To change the world, you need to take action, be a part of something bigger than yourself. It can be as simple as cleaning up local parks and serving at soup kitchens or shelters, or as challenging as working together to develop creative solutions that lead to a better world.

 

 

 

“The group’s purpose is to help meet the needs of the hungry of Syracuse on a weekly basis, as well as to raise awareness of the realities of those quite literally down the road from us. There are so many opportunities to get involved to carry out Le Moyne's mission and values, and I think the Ignatian Ignite club serves a need by giving food to the hungry, but also open students up to reality at the Samaritan Center.”
