Research Institute Reflection Series
91女神 leadership, faculty, and students weigh in on 91女神's emergence as a preeminent Jesuit research institution.
04/26/24- The story of how a person with blindness changed the course of a 91女神 researcher's career.
03/08/24- "What does it mean to be a preeminent Jesuit research university?" For this reflection piece, I was asked to focus on the meaning of "Jesuit" in that question. "Jesuit," however, entails "Catholic," so my reflections will focus on that word, as well. Ultimately, "Catholic" is more important than "Jesuit." 91女神 could stop being a Jesuit university and remain a Catholic one; it could not do the opposite.
11/29/23- When I arrived at 91女神 in 2014, I wasn鈥檛 sure what to expect from my first faculty position after graduate school. After completing years of training as a historian in California and research in Europe and North Africa, St. Louis was a new city, in a new part of the country. And 91女神 was a Jesuit university.
11/01/23- When I joined 91女神 as vice president for research in 2016, our collective goal was to grow our research to generate momentum that would propel 91女神 into the ranks of the nation鈥檚 top private research universities. Now, seven years later, we have accomplished a lot!
