Ignite First Year Seminar

Catalog description

Courses that satisfy the Ignite Seminar requirement engage each instructor’s distinct area of expertise as the lens through which students practice the Ignatian learning process—an integrative and personal approach to inquiry rooted in context, experience, reflection, action, and evaluation. By focusing on how scholarly commitments are forged in dialogue with the personal and social worlds we inhabit, Ignite seminars showcase the rich interplay of intellect and identity, wonder and certainly, rigor and play that characterizes academic inquiry rooted in the Ignatian ideal of care for the whole person (cura personalis). Ignite Seminar leaders also guide students as they identify and explore the questions that ignite their own sense of wonder and urgency. Must be completed in a student's first 36 credit hours at SLU.
