Affiliation with the Center

Senior Vincentian Research Fellow,
Class of 2005

"Being a Vincentian Fellow has given meaning to what I teach, what I write, what I do. And working with the Vincentian Center has made me understand the mission of our university and the commitment in my classroom to promote a culture of closeness which can break down differences and build up our commonalities in the human family."

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.
