About the Consortium

In 1993, Catholic colleges and universities located in or near the Archdiocese of Philadelphia began informal but regular meetings, to discuss how individual schools among the group expressed and supported institutional mission.  The organization met first at Cabrini College, then was hosted in turn by Gwynedd Mercy College, and Chestnut Hill College.  The Consortium is currently hosted by Villanova University.

  Purpose

The Catholic colleges and universities of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia come together to:

• Articulate our own institutional missions,
• Share our processes for implementing mission,
• Sharpen and raise our own consciousness regarding mission,
• Support one another personally and,
• Help advance our mutual cause.

  Goals

• Explore areas of concern and mutual interest where the group effort of the Consortium might be more effective than working alone at individual institutions.
• Look for groups similar to our own.
• Review and share materials related to both student and employee orientation.
• Discuss the role of mission and values in employee hiring and evaluation.
