Our Jesuit Catholic mission belongs to the whole university community.  Mission & Ministry offers ways of expressing this common mission.  Please explore our website to learn more. --Peter B. Ely, S.J. Vice President 

"Accendo" by Dale Chihuly, the glass sculpture in Pigott, was the gracious gift of a local donor. It was installed in the summer of 2006. SU held a naming contest for the tower and the winning entry was Accendo, which means ignite, illuminate, kindle or inflame. Art plays an important role in the evolution of spirituality and our campus has a rich collection of art.

This month of February we begin the Christian observance of Lent, that ancient season of prayer, fasting and almsgiving meant to prepare us for the celebration of Easter. (photo taken by SU's Mike Giles, at Cimetiere St-Vincent, Paris; Oct. 2008)
