In this octave before Christmas, the National Seminar on Jesuit Education would like to wish everyone a blessed and Merry Christmas and a joyful start to the 2018. As we reflect back on the 2017, the Seminar and Editorial Staff of Conversations have seen and reported on stories of joy, hope, and love amidst a confusing and tumultuous political climate. Together, thousands of faculty, staff, and students across our 28 colleges and universities continue to promote cultures and sanctuaries of truth and justice. As we enter this next year, Conversations is confident that reflecting on our relationships with the communities around us, we may continue to be sanctuaries for the Gospel of truth, justice, peace, and love.
The Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities is helping to make the season bright with its Christmas 2017 website. The website features articles, photos, and videos of Christmas celebrations across the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities.

As we look through the pictures of celebrations and join our own family and friends, what might we continue to commit to truth and justice this Christmas season?
