The Journal of Catholic Higher Education (JCHE) published articles by Fairfield University faculty members in an issue that had a special focus on Catholic higher education and nursing. The volume examined ways that mission, identity, and the work of peace and justice are implemented in programs and schools of nursing at Catholic universities.

The Journal of Catholic Higher Education, the peer-reviewed, semiannual journal of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, is the only international journal dedicated to the distribution of scholarly work and commentary with a focus on contemporary Catholic higher education in the United States and around the world.

The articles are:
