Dear Members of the John Carroll University community,

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I want to take a moment to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!

In this season of gratitude, I am reminded of the many blessings that we share as part of the John Carroll University community -- students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni and friends alike. Together, we are advancing our mission locally and globally. Our University's roots in Jesuit Catholic education have guided the Inspired Futures of our students since the institution was founded in 1886 and our heritage connects the John Carroll community to the global Jesuit education network that dates back nearly 500 years. Through academic rigor, experiential opportunities, and personal formation, our students discern the unique ways in which they are called to be people of faith and service for and with others in pursuit of a greater human good. What an incredible gift it is to be part of a community that strives to prepare our graduates to respond to the world's greatest needs and challenges to create a hope-filled future.

So too, gratitude plays a central role in Ignatian spirituality. In the Ignatian sense, gratitude is a response to an encounter with the Divine. The Ignatian Examen is an example of placing ourselves in the presence of God through gratitude. As we enter this season of Thanksgiving, I invite you to consider learning more about the Examen as a way to start with gratitude and remind ourselves of the gift of God's love for each of us. You can learn more about the Ignatian Examen via https://www.jesuits.org/spirituality/the-ignatian-examen/ on the website of the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the U.S.

Please know of my gratitude to each of you for your role in advancing our John Carroll University community and the positive impact we have on our world. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.

With gratitude,

Alan R. Miciak, Ph.D.
President

The Ignatian Examen St. Ignatius invites us to find God in all things. That means we have to pay careful attention to how the Spirit is moving in each moment of our daily lives. We have to take a magnifying glass to the seemingly ordinary, seeking to encounter the Divine. That’s why the Examen is ...
