Social entrepreneurship applies business principles to solve problems such as poverty and environmental threats, and holds great promise to help billions globally.
Magis: (“mah-jis”) is a Latin word for “more.” St. Ignatius of Loyola used the word Magis to encourage us to live and give generously.
In the Ignatian tradition, Magis means continually asking ourselves: What more can I do for others? Magis is a call to action. It challenges us to do more than a single act, but rather to serve humanity with our lives.
