St Jerome’s University at the University of Waterloo has launched the Pope Francis Institute, a hub for learning, dialogue, and leadership dedicated to Pope Francis’s legacy. The new institute is guided by the core themes of Francis’ pontificate, reflecting his legacy of creating a space for marginalized groups and advocating for Indigenous groups. St Jerome’s President Peter Meehan explained that the institute will include both a physical and virtual space that may provide public lectures, workshops, micro-credentials, professional development opportunities, and graduate programs. “What we’re looking to do… is to help form society, to embrace values that we think are universal,” said Meehan.
