SPC Framework: Conclusions

Graduate Education for the Global Good is more than just a slogan. It is an ethos that has guided GSAS in its first 100 years, and will continue to shape the next century and beyond to fulfill our school’s responsibilities to students, faculty, and the communities we are called to serve locally and globally. Realizing this ethos also requires constant vigilance, dialogue, and advocacy, as broader environmental dynamics cause some to question the value of a graduate liberal arts education writ large. Through this strategic framework, GSAS commits to ensuring that the education our students cultivate and curate while at Fordham and GSAS, along with the training and mentoring offered by our highly-regarded faculty, will be pivotal to enabling us to embody fully our foundational Ignatian principles, including discernment and humility, and to facilitate the betterment of the human condition.
