University leadership is a challenging job, but it is not only a job. It is a call, a vocation. This morning I would like to develop this call in three steps. First, we must look courageously at the world in which we live, the world to which we are sent. Second, we need to recall some fundamentals of the Jesuit charism. Third, I want to reflect on partnership in mission in a practical way that touches, among other points, on the Mission Priorities Examen.
