| Commitment to Students, Faculty and Staff
Catholic liturgy will be at the center of the student life on campus, with the Mass being at the very core. Other time-honored traditional liturgical celebrations will contribute to Catholic life on campus, such as Eucharistic Adoration, Benediction, the Rosary and other Marian devotions, and the celebration of the feasts and seasons of the liturgical year.
Students can expect:
• A welcoming campus that will be competitive and challenging with high expectations where each will learn to: think lucidly, analytically, and autonomously; to write and speak clearly; and to reason quantitatively.
• To develop an intellectual curiosity through rigorous exchange with faculty and other students.
• An educational philosophy that will strive to develop the whole person to be capable of forming sound and discerning beliefs.
• The promotion of participation in entertainment and recreational activities that will enhance the lives of those involved.
• An encouragement of service to the materially and spiritually poor, locally and globally.
• A strong academic as well as extracurricular focus on developing an appreciation of the rich culture, fine arts, and music (both secular and sacred) that exist within the Catholic Church, a treasure of inestimable value.
Faculty can expect:
• A welcoming campus environment that will recruit and retain creative, scholarly, and accomplished practitioners, who will show concern for the total development of students through extensive time and effort spent with them, and through their eagerness to involve students through joint workplace projects, internships, and service to the community.
• A demand for continuous improvement of their teaching effectiveness, ongoing professional consulting, and collaboration with colleagues and students in creative and innovative entrepreneurial activities.
• A strong expectation to maintain their intellectual currency in their fields of practice.
Staff can expect:
• A welcoming campus environment that will be committed to living the ideals of the Gospel with respect and dignity for all, providing opportunities for career growth and job satisfaction, consistent with core values of JP Catholic.
