We will feature two voices who will offer their perspectives and spark our conversation.

• On Friday night America Media’s President and Editor-in-Chief Sam Sawyer, SJ, will reflect on the reverberations of Jesuit education in our culture, as America Media imagines who our graduates are and what they need.
• On Saturday morning New York Times columnist Ross Douthat will share his observations about the current and future state of religion in America – and how Jesuit schools can play in/intellectually shape this environment.
