When you are ready to post a finding, click on the edit tab above, copy from the line below through the four dash ("-") signs, and then paste it in for each finding you plan to post.

Defining the Principes of Jesuit Education

Finding and Link: [2]

Summary: I think this web site does a great job of outlining the main ideals and motives behind Jesuit teaching. It gives a brief history of the Society of Jesus and how it was founded, as well as the most important principles of Jesuit Education. I found parts of it to be very relevant to the editorial we read this morning in class. For instance, in the introduction of the summary it states,

     "The Society of Jesus has always sought to imbue students with values
      that transcend the goals of money, fame and success. We want graduates 
      who will be leaders concerned about society and the world in which they live."

Hopefully this website will give you a better understanding of what it means to be a student at a Jesuit University, as well as provide you with beneficial information for your paper.

What sets a Jesuit Education Apart

"'Finding and Link:"' [3]

"'Summary:"' The main idea of this website is to highlight the importance of receiving a Jesuit Education. The biggest perk about attending a Jesuit University is that the mission is to educate the whole self which includes spirituality, developing one's social skills and also improve intellectuality.

I believe this website will help all of us understand the importance of a Jesuit Education

Jesuit Educational Traditions

Finding and Link: http://www.holycross.edu/jesuit/traditions

Summary: This website is a good source of information because it provides the history of the Society of Jesus as well as explains the Jesuit system of education. It uses the keywords such as "magis," "mind, body, and soul," and "Ignatious." In addition, this website states facts and statistics that could be a useful tool in your paper. I liked that this website emphasized the ultimate goal of the Jesuit education and promotes it will contribut to a better world. For example, after explaining what students volunteer to do at certain Jesuit universities, the article states, " Such experiences challenge students to use the talents and abilities to make this a better world."
