Mission Priority Examen
In 2024-25, Loyola University New Orleans will participate in a Mission Priority Examen at the request of the Superior General of the Society of Jesus and with the support of the Jesuit Provincials in the United States and the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU).
The Examen invites the Loyola community to engage in institutional reflection on its mission and to commit to a set of priorities for faithfully and creatively promoting our Catholic, Jesuit Identity and values in the years to come.
