John A. Ryan Institute For Catholic Social Thought
Named for the moral theologian, priest, and social justice advocate John Augustine Ryan, the Ryan Institute focuses on three programs:
- Catholic social thought and management, which has seminars, conferences, publications, and research programs on the relationship between Catholic social thought and management education and practice.
- Catholic Social Teaching and Education, which supports Catholic school teachers (K-12) as well as Catholic university faculty seeking to integrate the Church's social mission into their work.
- Catholic Social Thought and Community Outreach, which was inspired by Catholic activist Peter Maurin who sought to bridge the gap between workers and scholars. The program offers Latino Leadership Scholarships for Latino students dedicated to community service.
