Ignatian Center Student Leadership Programming 

The Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education offers a host of leadership opportunities for Santa Clara University students across all disciplines. Be it summer fellowships with community agencies, facilitating an immersion experience for peers, or interning with a local nonprofit agency, Ignatian Center students are challenged to hone their leadership skills, deepen their understanding of social justice issues, and reflect on their responsibility and impact in the world. We need to continue to scale up our programming to ensure we are providing these essential development opportunities for the next generation of leaders.
