Summary:

This book, edited by Bernard G. Prusak and Jennifer Reed-Bouley, explores the interplay between Catholic higher education and Catholic social thought (CST) in the United States. It examines how Catholic colleges and universities can integrate CST into various aspects of institutional life, including employment policies, environmental practices, and financial management, to preserve and renew their distinct missions. Through chapters addressing topics such as racism, Latinx futures, ecological crises, and socially responsible investing, the book offers insights into how these institutions can embody CST principles in their operations and educational offerings. It is intended for educators, administrators, and scholars interested in the role of CST in shaping the future of Catholic higher education. Generated by AI.
