Ethel Beneville: Seattle University was a wonderful place to study and learn so much about living a good and self-giving life. I am a Sister of Charity of New Jersey and am so grateful that my congregation encouraged me to go to Seattle University for my Masters in Religious Education. It was a wonderful experience and I am proud of how this institution has grown and expanded over the years.
Luisa Lora: Being #JesuitEducated means striving to live a life that matters and standing in solidarity with and for all of humanity. I am lucky to have been educated at both #HolyCross (‘08) and #SeattleU(‘15) and to have served as a #JesuitVolunteer (‘09). #JesUit
Minghan Wang: Being #Jesuit Educated means being sensitive about what happened around you. Not only enjoying what has been served but also eager to give back to our community.
Veronica Mayorga: Jesuit Educated = Well rounded, caring, and compassionate students working for a better today and tomorrow!
Laura Minkiewitz: Being #jesuiteducated means standing for what is right, not necessarily what is easy. It means challenging the norm in the interest of what is better. It means humbling oneself and serving others and God with discernment and integrity. It means so much more than you can fit into the 160 characters of a Tweet or into words. It is not just four years of college, it is the way you live your life. #GoRedhawks
Jennifer Cruz: Being #jesuiteducated means that I am able to take what I am learning inside the classroom and apply it to every aspect of my life. I’m learning to live with one foot raised and am ready for whatever comes my way!
Stephanie Robinson: Living to serve others less fortunate and to see others struggles through their lens
Sarah Lennox: Being #jesuiteducated means standing up for the doing what’s right, even if it’s not good for the bottom line- with a smile. It means using my education to serve, even in corporate America. Most of all, it means having permission to be well rounded, interested and engaged in all subjects for a lifetime as student (even long after graduation).
