What do we mean by “Catholic identity” in relation to a college or university?


A message from Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.


"What We Hold in Trust" is an executive seminar to help trustees of Catholic colleges and universities learn about specific Catholic issues important for the fulfillment of their responsibilities as trustees.

This seminar is designed and hosted by the Institute for Church Life at Notre Dame, which is under the leadership of Prof. John Cavadini, Chair of Theology. The "We Hold in Trust Seminar" enjoys the endorsement and participation of three supporting Catholic institutions: Franciscan College at Steubenville, Neumann College, and Villanova University.

Presenters in the seminar acknowledge the many different ways for Catholic colleges and universities to be Catholic. The seminar suggests ways for trustees to fulfill their fiduciary responsibility without intervening in administrative issues. The seminar presents a broad framework, but its focus on reasonable suggestions that apply to a variety of institutions, small, medium, and large. Without losing sight of the broad picture, the seminar suggests practical ways for trustees to promote Catholic identity, mission, and character in their institution.
