About Sophomore Initiatives

The Office of Sophomore Initiatives was established in June 2005 to assist students in their sophomore year of college.  Through a broad range of programs, Sophomore Initiatives challenges, mentors, and guides students in their developmental tasks and academic endeavors as they define their purpose, develop new relationships, and broaden their minds!

Sophomore year is full of weighty decisions and is an appropriate time for sophomores to consider the concept of Ignatian discernment - a process of making choices involving prayer, reflection, and consultation with others*.  As such, several Sophomore Initiatives programs involve discussion and guidance in the Ignatian discernment process.

In July 2006, the department moved to a newly renovated office in Seton Court 4508A.  Please stop by to see our new space, visit the Sophomore Initiatives staff, and sign up for one of our great programs.  We look forward to seeing you soon!
