The University of Scranton is one of 90 Jesuit colleges and universities worldwide and one of 28 in the United States. A Jesuit University is one where the Ignatian vision of life involves a specific value structure which galvanizes the efforts and energizes the talents and creativity of all members of the University family in a unique, clear direction. The University's goal is to develop maturity of the whole person: mind, body, and heart, and to graduate virtuous persons with a passionate sensitivity for justice and love in the human family-men and women for others.

The Alumni Society, composed entirely of products of a Jesuit education, serves you, the men and women for others. It is fitting that alumni hold sentiments of gratitude and loving interest in the welfare and progress of their University. This involvement furthers the goals of the University and the Alumni Society, and it exhibits a deep commitment to authentic Christian living.
