Next, what does it really mean to have a Jesuit education?
Does it really make a difference? We put these difficult
questions to ourselves and to our Jesuit colleagues and
mentors. In the simplest terms, a Jesuit education prepares
the students for life, not just a career. By that, we mean
a life that is not only charged with a passion to excel in
your professional pursuits, but which is also dedicated to make
a socially responsible and meaningful contribution to our
community. Many other academic institutions
will prepare you for a career in aviation, but when you face
economic or ethical or social challenges that require a firm
personal foundation, you will be glad that you picked
Saint Louis University.
