Abstract

The focus of this thesis project is those employees who do not identify with a religious tradition but by working in Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States, make daily contributions to the mission. Through the exploration of this community, as well as those responsible for mission formation, one can glean the gifts of Jesuit education that are accessible for a broader audience, as well as craft a way of proceeding in the work of mission formation and animation that can benefit all employees. This project demonstrates that authentic encounter with the wisdom of the Jesuit educational mission, acknowledgement and celebration of the unique gifts these employees bring to mission work, and demonstration of both the relevance and benefit of mission to any work within a Jesuit institution, invite this population to a richer connection to mission. This connection to mission serves the well-being and growth of the employee, which in turn increases the well-being and health of the entire institution and its constituents.
