An Americanized Jesuit Tradition of Education

 

The fall series of the Joseph J. Naples Conversations in Christ and Culture Lecture Series at Canisius University continues Tuesday, November 19 when it welcomes author Michael Rizzi, EdD, to campus.  Rizzi’s lecture, titled “An Americanized Jesuit Tradition of Education: Canisius’ Place in the Jesuit College Network,” takes place at 12:00 p.m. in the Regis Room of the Richard E. Winter ’42 Student Center and is free and open to the public.

 

Rizzi is the author of “Jesuit Colleges and Universities in the United States.”  The book provides a comprehensive history of Jesuit higher education in the United States, weaving together the stories of the 54 colleges and universities that the Jesuits have operated, successfully and unsuccessfully, since 1789.  In it, Rizzi emphasizes the connections among the institutions, exploring how certain Jesuit schools such as Georgetown University gave birth to others like Boston College by sharing faculty, financial resources, accreditation, and even presidents throughout their history. The book also explores how the colleges responded to common challenges including anti-Catholic prejudice in the United States, the push from government authorities to modernize their shared curriculum, and the pull from Roman authorities to remain loyal to Catholic tradition.
