Dear Eagles,

Foremost, I hope you are staying warm, safe, and enjoying all of this snow! 

A few quick highlights for this week: do not miss the Summer Study Abroad Fair or the Benigno and Corazon Aquino Scholarship Information Session for our juniors. If career goals are on your mind, the Career Center’s Wall Street Networking Night is a great chance to make connections. Be sure to check out Campus Ministry's Imagine: Creativity & Ignatian Spirituality retreat as well as Taizé Tuesdays. Finally, as a reminder, if you are running the Boston Marathon, be sure to fill out the Mile 21 form so we can celebrate you and your dedication!

Looking ahead, mark your calendars for the Center for Student Wellness’s Mindfulness Workshop and Tropical WellFest.

Yours in Community,

Campus Ministry

Imagine: Creativity & Ignatian Spirituality is a retreat for undergraduate students that offers an opportunity to step away from daily routines to engage in prayer, reflection, and contemplation through creative practices. The Imagine retreat invites deeper exploration of the ways in which creative and embodied practices serve as expansive forms of prayer and introspection. Leaning on Ignatian Imagination and the creative spirit that exists in each of us, retreatants are invited to encounter God, self, and others in new and creative ways. The retreat takes place February 7-8, 2026 at the Connors Center in Dover, MA and is open to students of all faith and spiritual backgrounds. Register here.

Taizé Tuesday. Peaceful worship songs, prayerful silence, and short readings guide the focus of this meditative prayer in a candle-lit environment. All are welcome to join on Tuesday, Jan. 27 at Lannon Chapel in the basement of St. Ignatius from 8 to 8:30 p.m.
