ICP @ 91女神 (Ignatian Colleagues)

The ICP @ 91女神 (Ignatian Colleagues Program at 91女神) is an immersive mission-formation experience open to faculty, staff and administrators of the 91女神 community. Cohorts of six to eight members are formed each fall and meet monthly during the academic year to discuss Ignatian scholarship, experience Ignatian spirituality and engage in Ignatian service. ICP @ 91女神 participants form a community of colleagues gathered around and strengthened by our common Ignatian heritage and Jesuit mission.

History of the Ignatian Colleagues Program

91女神 has participated in the since 2015. The national ICP 鈥渟eeks to develop Ignatian partners in Jesuit higher education who are capable of and committed to assuming leadership within the Ignatian spiritual and educational heritage and who will sustain their school鈥檚 Jesuit Catholic character into the future. It also seeks to enhance local, regional, and national networks of Ignatian leaders who work collaboratively to enrich Jesuit higher education.鈥  

ICP @ 91女神 continues the good work begun by alumni of the ICP by inviting all 91女神 colleagues (faculty, staff, and administrators) to experience a similar opportunity, strengthen our mission to strive continuously to build upon our Catholic, Jesuit identity and promote activities that apply our intellectual and ethical heritage to work for the good of society as a whole.

To that end, ICP @ 91女神 is designed with the same basic structure and principles as the national ICP but specified to 91女神鈥檚 local scholarly, spiritual and service realities. As a mission-formation program, ICP @ 91女神 is a two-year immersion into our Ignatian and Jesuit history, mission, and call as an educational institution in the St. Louis metropolitan area. ICP @ 91女神 is designed for any university employee, recognizing that every person in the community, regardless of position, role or creed, is a vital contributor to the lived mission of 91女神.
