Division of Mission Integration (DMI)
We advance and support the work of anchoring Seattle University in its Jesuit and Catholic character.
Who We Are
The Division of Mission Integration helps ensure that mission-related concerns are represented in an informed way throughout all levels of the University’s decision-making processes, the educative, spiritual, engagement with the community, and cura apostolis.
What We Do
The Division of Mission Integration animates, draws upon, and anchors the Jesuit Catholic character across all aspects of Seattle University. We consult, support, sponsor, and partner across the University while being attentive to the diverse religious and spiritual needs of the University community. The Division of Mission Integration also offers programming, initiatives, and events through the Office of Campus Ministry, Center for Jesuit Education, and the Office of Vice President of Mission Integration.

Mission Priority Examen (MPE)
The MPE process integrates a centuries-old practice of Ignatian reflection with clear pathways for dialogue and mission growth. Linking the sponsorship of the Society of Jesus more intentionally to the mission of the college or university, the MPE fosters a more effective network of Jesuit higher education.
Mission Partners
DMI collaborates across campus with multiple Mission Partners to create opportunities for members of the Seattle University community to encounter and engage with the rich Jesuit educational tradition. We seek to form leaders for social transformation through the pursuit of academic excellence, inspired by faith that does justice.
Seattle University’s Institute for Catholic Thought and Culture (ICTC) invites the community to renew the Catholic intellectual tradition of engagement at the crossroads where faith and reason, religion and culture, church and world meet - through academic research, reflection and dialogue. ICTC creates opportunities that provide a Catholic lens to ongoing conversations especially relevant to our local community and our world today.
With the institute as its academic nucleus, the university will examine its Catholic heritage with heightened intentionality and vigor.
The Center for Ecumenical and Interreligious Engagement (CEIE) at Seattle University is committed to ecumenical and interreligious engagement, spiritual and indigenous pathways, and to cultural wisdom. Students, alumni, faculty, and partners from the university and within these communities serve on CEIE advisory councils that aim to serve, create, convene, and explore.
The Sundborg Center for Community Engagement is a mission-driven organization, connecting campus and community through programs andpartnershipsthat align with Seattle University’s values and strategic goals.
The work of the Center for Social Transformation and Leadership aligns with the college’s mission and core values. A primary goal of CSTL is to create social impact by fostering peer and professional exchanges of ideas, engage in collaborative work and foster learning through shared experiences.
