From June 23 through June 27, 2025, on the campus of Loyola University New Orleans, student affairs professionals from across our network of Jesuit colleges and universities gathered to be formed and fueled by our shared Jesuit mission.
One of the keynotes from the conference featured four university presidents: Tania Tetlow of Fordham University, Vincent Rougeau of the College of the Holy Cross, Salvador Aceves of Regis University, and Xavier Cole of Loyola University New Orleans. The conversation was wide-ranging, hitting on a number of hot button issues facing the higher ed landscape today. Each of these presidents demonstrated through their thoughtful, passionate responses that they are committed not just to higher education but to leading Catholic, Jesuit institutions to meet the many needs of this moment. I left feeling inspired.
About an hour after that conversation ended, a second one began — with today’s host, Eric Clayton. The four presidents kindly sat down in one of the beautiful studios on Loyola’s campus to continue the conversation they began on stage.
