Goals

Through academic analysis, active participation, reflection and advocacy, students acquire knowledge and experience about development issues and learn the role and impact non-government organizations (NGO's) have in promoting sustainable country initiatives and people-centered development.

The goals of the Office for International Development are;

• to instill in students a deeper understanding of and a lifelong commitment to the Jesuit mission of service and promotion of social justice. Students experience a profound transformation in their attitudes towards the world by working with NGOs and with local populations that are striving to enhance equality and social justice in the political, social and economic systems of their homelands.
  
  
• to promote global citizenship and demonstrates how students can influence their future, both professionally and personally, while simultaneously becoming a catalyst for change.
  
  
• to develop a deep understanding of and lifelong commitment worldwide to the Jesuit mission of service and the promotion of justice.
