Arrupe Fellowship
The Arrupe Fellowship is a two-year mission formation program for faculty and staff who have a demonstrated commitment to SLU鈥檚 Jesuit mission and identity.
After spending one year of immersion in the study of Jesuit history, fellows will experience an Ignatian Pilgrimage, following in the footsteps of St. Ignatius from Loyola, Spain, to Rome, Italy. In the second year, fellows will use their pilgrimage experience to explore the legacy of Jesuit legend Pedro Arrupe, with specific application of learning to their SLU work and community.
Arrupe Fellowship Curriculum
Over two academic years, cohorts will pursue an in-depth and hands-on exploration of the intellectual, spiritual, and service-oriented aspects of Ignatian thought and praxis. At the conclusion of the program, each participant will have presented a capstone project demonstrating the integration of their learning into their role at SLU.
