Affiliation with the Center

Senior Vincentian Research Fellow (Retired),
Class of 2002

"Being selected as a Vincentian Fellow launched both a period of reawakening and personal examination. Surrounded by such solid and caring scholarpractitioners, it is hard not to be moved into action and advocacy when examples abound at our collective table of how to alleviate the human condition by doing what you do anyway

Food for Thought

Catholic universities will be particularly attentive to the poorest and to those who suffer economic, social, cultural or religious injustice. This responsibility begins within the academic community but it also finds application beyond it.
