St. Clare Room, Library and Learning Commons
Santa Clara University

In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the assassination of six Jesuits and two of their collaborators at the Universidad de Centroamerica (UCA) in El Salvador during the country’s civil war, this panel will consider the life struggles and challenges out of which the prominent social justice leadership of Rutillo Grande, Ignacio Ellacuria, and Jon Sobrino emerged. Join us for this reflection on justice, and how educated solidarity and the proyecto social have become central to the work of Ignatian leaders in Jesuit higher education and beyond. Panelists include Kevin Burke, S.J. of the Jesuit School of Theology, Robert Lasselle-Klein of Holy Names University, and Ana Maria Pineda, R.S.M. and Lynette Parker of Santa Clara University.

Fall 2014: Leadership and Justice
Educated Solidarity and the Proyecto Social

Leadership within the Ignatian idiom is rooted in a foundational commitment to live out one’s vocation in generous relationship with God for the good of all creation. In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the assassination of the Jesuits and their collaborators at the Universidad de Centroamerica (UCA) in El Salvador, and the 200th anniversary of the restoration of the Society of Jesus, we will consider how the work of educated solidarity and the proyecto social is central to the mission of Jesuit higher education.
