Hear From Hawks
![Janée Burkhalter, Ph.D.]()
Being a faculty member at SJU affords me the opportunity to work in an environment where I am able to authentically pursue my passions not only through scholarship and service, but also through teaching. I am constantly learning new concepts, discovering new pedagogical approaches and engaging with new forms of technology as I study and teach marketing, entertainment and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).”
![Jill Cleary]()
The spaces that are created at SJU to dive deeper into issues of social justice, structural inequality and diversity mean so much to me. I value the critical discussions with colleagues and fellow students challenging us to find ways to live out our Jesuit values.”
