How are you seeking the magis?
MAGIS (MAH-jis), a Latin word meaning “more” representing the Jesuit call to strive for choosing what brings deeper purpose and positive impact. Through a fun game, we asked the SJU community to tell us how they plan to lead a positive impact on their community this year and live the magis.
Below are their responses.

Three Locations, One Mission
Our office created a Portal to bridge the gap between the campuses of Saint Joseph’s University. Community members could wave to one another and play our MissionIQ game. The exhibit reminded us that while we are in three different locations, we remain united by the same Jesuit mission!
