Finding Community in the Justice World

Aydee Cruz Mejía, an undergraduate student at Fairfield University and an alumnus of Cristo Rey Jesuit High School in Milwaukee, credits the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice as a major catalyst in her justice-seeking vocation. She has attended five of them so far, presented at three of them, and deepened her leadership skills as a high schooler at the Arrupe Leaders Summit. Aydee is a fantastic example of a student who is not only open to growth but also provokes growth from the people and institutions to which she belongs.Read about the last Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice, at which Aydee presented a breakout session called “Building Solidarity and Justice in Predominantly White Institutions.”Read about the recent Arrupe Leaders Summit, a formative experience Aydee underwent as a high schooler.
