== Jesuit Mission ==

Saint Joseph's Jesuit identity shapes institutional culture through programs, traditions, and expectations that distinguish it from secular peers. Campus ministry, service immersion trips, and social justice education reflect Jesuit emphasis on faith and service. The Kinney Center for Autism Education and Support exemplifies Jesuit commitment to those in need through specialized programs serving individuals with autism and their families.<ref name="sju"/>

Jesuit education's emphasis on rigor, reflection, and formation shapes pedagogical approaches across disciplines. Students engage questions of meaning and purpose alongside professional preparation, developing capacities for leadership and service that extend beyond career success. Saint Joseph's participation in the network of Jesuit colleges and universities provides connections to resources and traditions extending far beyond a single institution.<ref name="sju"/>
