The work of the CSJ Center makes an important contribution to the spiritual, intellectual, and pedagogical heritage of Loyola Marymount University.
Donations to the CSJ Center, per John Sebastian, senior vice president for mission, "help ensure that LMU’s mission and Catholic identity do not only define our past, but also guide our journey into the future. With your support, LMU will continue to be a home for students, faculty, and staff committed to our distinctive model of education, one that prioritizes faith, justice, and the dignity of the whole human family in service of the greater glory of God and the world’s most urgent needs."
Priorities
Fund of Integral Justice Works
The late-Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si' reminds us that numerous injustices of this world are interconnected: the "cry of the Earth, and the cry of the poor" are the same cry. This integral approach to justice requires interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative research, and new methods of teaching and acting. The CSJ Center has established this fund to seed new projects and initiatives by faculty, staff, and students that address issues of justice and propose transformative and sustainable solutions.
Scholarship for Service and Action
The CSJ Center is building an endowed scholarship for students committed to service and action. Once our principal goal is reached, the scholarship will be awarded annually to undergraduate students whose academic and extracurricular activities focus on social justice.
