Reflection Questions:

• What world, national, or regional events have taken place during the time I have begun working at a Jesuit institution?
  1. What effects have those events had on student life and campus culture?
  2. How can I help the institution and students prepare for a rapidly changing global society?

• Why are they called "gifts" of our Ignatian Heritage?
