The Poland Jesuit Center for Research and Teaching Innovation focuses on innovation and thought leadership to deepen global engagement and societal impact.

The Savage-McGill Center for Reflective Leadership cultivates a dynamic array of programs, initiatives and educational opportunities designed to nurture a generation of leaders – you – who are as committed to people and planet as they are to profits. Through programs like the Madden Lecture Series and IgnitEd – a values-based, nonprofit hub for scholars, journals and mission-aligned organizations – the Center is on the cutting edge of leadership development.

The Hetterich Center creates awareness of and ongoing connectedness to global developments, issues, and insights. A key component of its mission is to promote global citizenship and inspire the search for common ground while respecting diverse societies. In doing so, it embodies the spirit of the Society of Jesus, whose international outreach has historically emphasized adaptable knowledge-gathering and deep understanding of a rapidly changing world. The core value the center embraces is respectful mutuality.
