Mission

Pathfinders is a supportive and encouraging community of sophomore students committed to contemplative action to unearth their authentic selves within the context of major exploration and declaration.

Goals

Founded upon the Jesuit practice of action grounded in meaningful contemplation, the Pathfinders program aims to:

• Explore—passions, strengths, opportunities, and questions pertinent to the major declaration and vocational discernment journey.
• Reflect—to find meaning and direction from daily experiences.
• Act—through small consistent steps toward vocation and to aid others on their unique paths to purpose.
