About Us
At Saint Joseph’s University, our model of education is rooted in the nearly 500-year-old Jesuit tradition—an approach that combines the liberal arts, the pursuit of personal and professional excellence, a concern for social justice and the common good, and a lifelong commitment to learning and finding God in all things.
The Office of Mission brings these values to life through programs, resources, and initiatives that connect the SJU community to our Jesuit mission. All members of our community are invited to take part in programs inspired by St. Ignatius Loyola and the mission of SJU.
As part of our 175th Anniversary celebration, historians from Saint Joseph's University (Dr. Katie Oxx & Dr. Randall Miller) and St. Joseph's Preparatory School (Leo Vaccaro) will gather for a panel discussion to explore the historical context and realities that gave rise to their two distinct academic communities. Since our joint institutional beginning, these two schools have influenced culture, development, learning and leadership on the local, regional, and national levels for over a century.

175 years of Mission
This year our University community celebrates 175 years since the founding of St. Joseph's College in 1851 on Willing's Alley in Olde City Philadelphia by Rev. Felix Barberlin, S.J. Celebrating this history, the Office of Mission is planning a variety of events to celebrate over a century of Catholic Jesuit Mission.
