John,

On July 31, we celebrated the feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuits and one of the major inspirations of our work at ISN. In case you missed it, read Executive Director Chris Kerr's message of gratitude. We're also eager to share our refreshed Ignatian resources page, where you can deepen your knowledge of St. Ignatius' life and legacy and direct your people when they express curiosity about this Ignatius guy. 

In this edition of "News and Voices," we are thrilled to highlight our recent Ignatian Justice Summit for college students as well as a report-back from the annual Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) assembly, illuminating various ISN programs that align with AJCU's priority commissions. This July we welcomed three new board members while mourning the passing of John Schubert, a former board member whose service was critical to ISN's growth. Finally, our Voting Is An Act of Love campaign is rolling with lots of online content, including a reflection from one of our summer interns that integrates the most recent Sunday mass readings.

Whether you are part of an educational institution ramping up in this back-to-school season or plugging along in your own way of embodying "a faith that does justice," we thank you for your continued support!

Gratefully,

   
Andrew Hanson-Quintana
Assistant Director of Communications
