Ignatian Seminar Program
Timothy Wadkins, PhD
Director
For the past several years, Dr. Timothy Wadkins has directed a series of summer immersion courses in third world locations. These courses offer month long, intense, immersion opportunities in places like the Philippines, Mexico and El Salvador. Pedagogically, they emphasize "education for life." Students are not only exposed to religion in underdeveloped locations, but also to the desperate economic and political conditions of marginalized peoples. As a result, these programs help them become better global citizens. The project partakes of the Jesuit Volunteer Corp's creed "Come and get ruined for life." Thus far over 40 percent of the participants in this program have gone on to pursue volunteer and vocational positions in various part of the world. Here are pictures from Dr. Wadkins' recent trips:
