Our Engagement at CEIE
Our Leadership
CEIE at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³» places a high value on leadership by integrating the student experience through our student affiliate program. We integrate trusted long-term contractors, staff and faculty fellows, SU alumni ambassadors, and an expansive advisory council. CEIE includes a Coordinator, Assistant Director, and our Executive Director-Spehar-Halligan Professor.
Authored Scholarship
CEIE Scholarship unfolds as a journey of Ignatian discernment, a guiding Jesuit insight. The CEIE Scholarship program convenes scholars and practitioners across disciplines to engage with pressing moral and social challenges, inviting contributors to weigh diverse perspectives and emerge with leadership practices grounded in justice and adaptive response.
Leadership Academy
The CEIE Leadership Academy draws upon the Ignatian principles of values discernment, personal action, and individual and collective transformation. When we cultivate a sense of core purpose, awareness and wisdom grow, as does our leadership in responsibility to ourselves, to our communities, to the spaces where we work, and to the places we call home.
Engage. Learn. Grow. Lead.
