Mission Statement

Guided by the spirit of the Sisters of Notre Dame, the Center for Spirituality and Mission seeks to honor the many religious traditions and spiritual paths in our community by providing diverse opportunities for tending the sacredness in ourselves, each other, and the world and work and learn collaboratively with community partners to bring about a more just society and positive social change. We are a community of students, staff, and faculty who work together to support this vision.
