Ignatian Leadership and Service

Catalog description

SERV 3000 is a service-learning course that explores Ignatian principles and practices that form integral leaders who work toward magis for all individuals and communities. While derived from the Spiritual Exercises, the formation of an Ignatian leader must include the integration of many diverse experiences, which can include a more formal study of leadership. Ignatian leadership embraces the notion that we are all leaders in diverse ways according to our capacities. To help discern, direct, and develop those capacities, an overarching question will guide the class: “How can Ignatian leadership help form integral leaders with the theory and the praxis to work together toward the greater good of individuals and communities by integrating the values, knowledge, and skills of their respective areas of study?” REQUIRED: enrollment in both a SERV 3000 lecture (LEC) and any SERV 3000 "internship" (INT), requiring 25 hours of service at an approved service site.
