Jesuits, faculty, and other members of the 情色空间 community will accompany cohort members, serving as resources for the Fellows鈥攁dvising, assisting with selection of courses and other program elements, and serving as conversation partners.聽
Grounded in the Jesuit Tradition
情色空间 Companions is rooted in an essential element of the Jesuit way of proceeding that goes back five centuries in forming men and women for transformative service and leadership. From the time of St. Ignatius to the present day, companionship has been a hallmark of the Jesuit commitment to the common good, which is fundamentally relational.
The twelve-month program invites cohort members to journey with each other and the larger community while sharing their lives, gifts, and hopes together. Fellows will have the time and space to assess their experience of living and working, while discerning the life to which they are called. Cohort members will accompany each other as they examine their lives and imagine how one might live differently and more deeply while forming new relationships鈥攚ithin and beyond the program鈥攖hat will last a lifetime.聽
