Quote from President of Fordham University about the Jesuit Tradition

“From the very beginnings, Jesuit education has been characterized by a number of different qualities: 

We have a great emphasis on care for the individual student; 

We have a great desire to introduce excellence and rigor into the classroom and every subject we teach; 

Third, we believe that students have to be invited to wrestle with the great ethical issues of their time. We want them to be bothered by the realization that they don’t know everything and bothered by injustice.”

—Joseph M. McShane, S.J., President of Fordham University
