Ignatius of Loyola to “Go forth and set the world on fire.” Use your abilities to discern, to question, to discover - and the mission of Regis University - to seek and be a source of light in the darkness.įor almost 500 years, graduates of all Jesuit colleges and universities across the world have heard the charge of St. Who better than you now, with all of your gifts and promise, and the foundation of a Jesuit education at Regis University, to lead and inspire the healing and the change the world and our society are aching to realize. We do this through our Jesuit foundation, giving you an excellent, value-centered and experiential education that honors the whole person - your mind, body and spirit. Regis University’s mission is to educate you, as men and women of all ages and faiths, to take leadership roles and to make a positive impact in a changing society. This too allows us to discover prejudice and limitations in our worldview and how this might impact the life of another person. This allows you to better recognize the human dignity of each and all individuals.Ĭoncern for total human development is a responsible use of personal and civic freedom. And your character is what helps you overcome selfishness or apathy and discover an abiding respect and responsibility to make the world a better place. Your growth is aligned to your pace and rhythm, your individual ability and your own personality.Īs much as any lab, novel, algorithm or code, your personal development is what trains and defines your character. The focus is as much on your development as any subject or materials to be covered. This foundational growth is at the core of your curriculum. One of the hallmarks of a Jesuit education is centering your intellectual, affective and spiritual growth.

Never in our world’s history has cura personalis – or care for the individual – been more relevant or important. Congratulations Regis University graduates.
