Ignatian Colleagues Program
Boston College participants in the Ignatian Colleagues Program visited the Blessed Peter Faber Community in Brighton, Massachusetts, where they met with Rector Bradley Schaeffer, S.J., Jesuits in formation for the priesthood, and Jesuit priests pursuing further studies at the STM who live in the new community. The Ignatian Colleagues Program is a national program designed to educate and form administrators more deeply in the Jesuit tradition of higher education so that they may better articulate, adapt, and advance Ignatian mission on their campuses. Connell School of Nursing Dean Susan Gennaro, College of Arts and Sciences Dean David Quigley, and Sean Porter, assistant dean of STM, are among eight Boston College administrators currently participating in the program. |
