Team from Peer Jesuit Institutions Visits SLU as Part of Review of University's Mission

--10/28/2024

ST. LOUIS 鈥� Saint 直播自慰视频 University wrapped its year-long institutional process of discernment with an on-site peer visit this week. The visit was conducted by colleagues from three peer Jesuit universities.

The three-person team was chaired by Mardell A. Wilson, Ed.D., provost at Creighton University. Wilson served as the Dean of the Edward and Margaret Doisy College of Health Sciences at SLU from 2014 to 2020. Additional reviewers include Daniel R. J. Joyce, S.J., vice president of Mission and Ministry at Saint Joseph鈥檚 University, and Michael Serazio, Ph.D., professor of Communication at Boston College.

The Mission Priority Examen (MPE) is a self-led process intended to reaffirm a Jesuit university鈥檚 commitment to its Catholic, Jesuit mission and the ways the University might continue to live out the mission in the future. The Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) and the North American Jesuit Provincials have established the MPE for Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States and Belize, a process requested by the Superior General of the Society of Jesus. 

鈥淭he four days with the peer review team were a tremendous experience of the shared commitment to SLU鈥檚 mission, and the interaction with the four members of the team was meaningful, valuable, and hopeful,鈥� said Virginia Herbers, director of mission formation at SLU and MPE steering committee co-chair. 鈥淭hank you to all who showed up for those sessions.鈥�

The MPE process was launched in December 2023, at the invitation of Thomas P. Greene, S.J., provincial superior of the Central and Southern Province.

The MPE process is grounded in the examen, a practice of Ignatian reflection, and invites the campus community to reflect upon areas of strength in embodying SLU鈥檚 Jesuit, Catholic identity and opportunities for deepening SLU鈥檚 mission. SLU last conducted the MPE in 2018-19.
