Our Vision
The school’s mission is to act collectively and leverage our resources in ways that are driven by our Jesuit mission and responsive to our constituents’ needs. We strive to have measurable impact in schools and communities, particularly for those most affected by injustice.
Strategic Priorities
The School of Education's (SOE) strategic priorities were defined by SOE faculty and staff through a collaborative process of exploration and imagination along four identified priorities:
- Supporting advancement and well-being of faculty, staff and students,
- Building institutional capacity for improved governance, communication and financial health,
- Strengthening the collective within and outside of the School of Education, and
- Amplifying our unique contributions within the field of education.
