Program Title: Faculty/Staff Day Retreat

Contact Person/Office: Charlie Schreck, Ignatian Formation Director

Program Description: Each year our faculty/staff participate in a day retreat that varies in theme and location. Our current model is a rotation between a day of service in the greater Portland area one year followed by a more traditional spiritual retreat the following year.

Rationale: The spiritual formation of our faculty and staff is part of our mission as Ignatian Educators. This is a required day retreat that has offered a variety of spiritual opportunities on-site as well as around the Portland area. Our faculty/staff continues to express interest in doing service projects every other year to model our Christian obligation for our students.

Leadership: Our Ignatian Formation Director seeks input from the academic team as well as from faculty/staff to meet the spiritual needs of the majority of our staff.

Implementation: Ignatian Formation Director.

Processes and Resources: Guest speakers, assistance from Professional Development Director & Christian Service Director for service projects.

Finances: Varies based on location. Meals average $1500. Speaker fees vary.

Rewards: Breakfast and lunch is provided. Spiritual reflection is offered with a day away from the office. Community building is an on-going goal.

Time (When/Length): The day retreat is always held on the Tuesday following the Presidents’ Day holiday in February.

Location (Space): This year’s day retreat was held at the University of Portland. Last year we had 10-12 service sites around Portland followed by mass and lunch at JHS.

Accountability/Assessment: An online survey is administered by the Ignatian Formation Director. Verbal feedback is also welcome.

Lenses

A lens is a custom view of the content in the repository. You can think of it as a fancy kind of list that will let you see content through the eyes of organizations and people you trust.

What is in a lens?

Lens makers point to materials (modules and collections), creating a guide that includes their own comments and descriptive tags about the content.

Who can create a lens?

Any individual member, a community, or a respected organization.

What are tags?

Tags are descriptors added by lens makers to help label content, attaching a vocabulary that is meaningful in the context of the lens.
