"Students, in the course of their formation, must
let the gritty reality of this world into their lives,
so they can learn to feel it, think about it critically,
respond to its suffering and engage it constructively.
They should learn to perceive, think, judge, choose and
act for the rights of others, especially the disadvantaged
and the oppressed."
~ Rev. Peter-Hans Kolvenbach, S.J.
Former [29th ] Superior General of the Society of Jesus,
Santa Clara University, 2000
