Endorsements

"Leading a Catholic college or university in today's challenging circumstances requires a wide range of skills and a capacity for understanding multiple issues and heeding multiple voices. In this volume, Prusak and Reed-Bouley have assembled an impressive group of Catholic thought leaders and asked them to reflect on the critical issues we face, and the concrete circumstances in which we face them, in light of the Gospel commands for justice, love, and service, which we call Catholic social thought (CST). The result is a volume not only for educators, but for everyone―trustees, alumni, Church leaders―interested in and responsible for guiding and shaping Catholic higher education into the future."
―Michael J. Garanzini, SJ, president, Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities
