A Culture of Philanthropy is an integral reflection of our organizational culture that embodies “We are better together”. Our journeys are connected, and that’s how it should be.

Our culture also reflects our Jesuit core values. Specifically, our core value “Contemplation in Action” which embodies our commitment to just action through leadership and service; where we strive to take responsibility for our gifts and talents and to help build up the gifts and talents of others. To be agents of transformation, especially in the areas of social justice and equality. To bring our best resources to bear on creative responses to problems and challenges. To foster openness and curiosity about all things new and different. To foster a spirit of trust, hopefulness, collegiality, and dialogue. To value different points of view and experiences.

This means that everyone ... all staff and faculty… understands that how we interact is critical to the community’s health in terms of philanthropy and longevity. We all are connected and have a role in the process. We are all ambassadors for the University.  Being an ambassador means each of us promises to do one’s own job well, learning and understanding how all the various jobs in the university create one integrated system, and -- most especially -- treating each other as well as the university’s constituents (students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff, volunteers, community, and friends) with care and respect. We are Better Together!
