Program Learning Outcome ReflectionCommitment to Social JusticeIt was such a joy to read the letters that my peer and colleague wrote regarding my promise to the field of higher education. It is one thing to practice my own reflection, but to read how others have seen me develop and grow into an enthusiastic young professional is truly an honor. Both Jon and Jamie wrote meaningful letters that discussed my commitment to students, to my own learning, and to social justice and Ignatian values and pedagogy. I agree that my time at Loyola has been transformational in my learning, my development of professional competencies, and my commitment to living a life dedicated to the pursuit of social justice for all. The authors of these letters discussed my willingness to learn. Jamie shared that I have been committed to my academics and that I have found ways to incorporate what I learn in the classroom to what I do in my practice. Jon shared that my commitment to research and scholarship has inspired him to further explore his own interests in these areas. Before reading these letters, I hadnt self-identified as a scholar-practitioner. However, as Ive reflected on what I have learned and how I have used new knowledge, it is clear that I am, in fact, a true higher education scholar-practitioner. I think that the single most important promise I can make to the field of higher education is a lifelong commitment to social justice education. In my time at Loyola, social justice, cultural competence, diversity and inclusion, and Ignatian values have become central to who I am and how I do my work. Jon and Jamie both shared that it is clear that I care about developing meaningful relationships and supporting social justice efforts, and I agree that I am committed to continuing to learn and to educate about social justice. I am so thrilled to begin a new chapter, and to enter the field as a new professional who can apply new skills and knowledge. I look forward to seeing how my commitment to students, to learning, and to social justice education continue to impact my work.
