Session Description: Using the lens of Catholic Social Thought and the mission priorities of Mercy Sisters and Jesuits, participants will understand how these resources can animate and assist in our daily work here at the University of Detroit Mercy. Using the spiritual gifts of our Jesuit and Mercy charisms in decision-making can prove to be a differentiator in the competitive world of higher education.
