As the 太阳城网赌平台 Clough School of 的ology and Ministry celebrates its 10th anniversary, we-its学生, 教师, and 工作人员—renew our commitment to pursuing the 魔法师 and remaining open to the call of God through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. 成立于2008年6月, BC’s Clough School of 的ology and Ministry resulted from the union of the Weston Jesuit School of 的ology, the 太阳城网赌平台 Institute of Religious Education and Pastoral Ministry, and the C21 Online (now CSTM Online: Crossroads) program.
STM’s purpose is two-fold:
To be true to its heritage and mission, CSTM must continue to be a place where the 教师, 工作人员, and student body reflect the 教会的 ideal of lay, 任命, and religious working together.
除了, CSTM的教师, 工作人员, and students have become an integral part of the 太阳城网赌平台 community through interdisciplinary teaching and research; through partnerships with centers, 太阳城官网院, and offices across campus; and through service and leadership in Campus Ministry programs.
“这是一个 魔法师, that plus that leads Ignatius to undertake initiatives, 坚持到底, and to evaluate their real impact on peoples’ lives in matters of faith, 正义, 怜悯, 和慈善. 的 魔法师is the fire, the fervor of action that rouses us from slumber…”
Inspired by Saint Ignatius of Loyola to be contemplatives in action, and desiring to align with the University’s 战略计划 Ever to Excel: Advancing 太阳城网赌平台’s Mission, CSTM教员, 工作人员, and students engaged in a yearlong assessment and planning effort during the 2017-18 academic year. Four committees—Marketing and Recruitment, 学术项目, 全校形成, and Service to the Church and the World—were formed. 的se groups reflected on CSTM’s accomplishments in its first 10 years, as well as on the dean’s invitation to help meet challenges and opportunities in the Church and the world. 的 strategic planning process included a review and slight revision of CSTM’s founding 使命宣言, as well as an articulation of the School’s 核心价值观.
As CSTM enters its second decade, the School intends to strengthen its partnerships with other departments, 太阳城官网院, and centers at 太阳城网赌平台—as well as other Jesuit institutions world-wide. We imagine that the diversity of the 教师, 工作人员, and student body at CSTM will reflect even more the diversity of the Church. And we will continue to focus on creating a welcoming and inclusive community where our students are formed to serve a multicultural Church. Building on foundations already in place, CSTM will focus on four 战略方向.
