About Us
The Office of Mission at Saint Joseph's University
The core inspiration for the Saint Joseph’s model of education is the Catholic faith and intellectual tradition expressed through the nearly 500-year-old Jesuit educational network. Catholic, Jesuit values articulated by our University mission include: an education rooted in the liberal arts; the pursuit of personal and professional excellence; a focused concern for on social justice and the common good; a lifelong commitment to learning; and a commitment to finding God in all things.
The Office of Mission Programs promotes these values by providing support for the teaching, research and service which are central to the work of Saint Joseph’s University. Faculty, staff, students, parents and alumni are invited to engage in a variety of programs which bring to life the vision of Saint Ignatius Loyola and the mission of Saint Joseph’s.
