ships between corporations and universities are on the rise. In response, Loyola has established the Office of Corporate Engage- ment (OCE), which will serve as the entry point to help corporations navigate University resources.

CROSSINGS AND DWELLINGS


Restored Jesuits, Women Religious, American Experi- ence, 1814–2014


July 19–October 19


Crossings and Dwellings commemorates both the 200th anniversary of the Restoration of the Society of Jesus (1814–2014) and a century of women’s education at Loyola-Mundelein (1914–2014). Using historical maps, books, documents, objects, and textiles, Crossing and Dwellings tells the story of 19th- century European Jesuits and women religious who arrived on the country’s expanding western frontier to serve both Native American and urban immi- grant populations. The exhibition is sponsored by the Joan and Bill Hank Center for the Catholic Intellectual Heritage at Loyola.


Keep it simple R


ecently, I reread parts of Henry David Thoreau’s Walden and was struck by


how his 19th-century prose still reso- nates in the 21st century: “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen…” For too many of us, these words


serve as a critique of the pace and complexity of our lives, which are, more often than not, too full and too busy to enjoy and truly appreciate. One of the most staggering statistics

I’ve come across in my research on work and ethics is that, on average, a double-income couple with two children puts in 16.5 hours a day on work, community, and chores. Last time I checked my math, that leaves just 7.5 hours for life, laughter, love, and sleep! Recently, Pope Francis suggested


that “busy-ness is the enemy of hu- man purpose.” “Nonstop busy-ness,” says Francis, robs us of the opportu- nity to lead a life that is “profoundly authentic” in regard to our families, colleagues, and communities. In lockstep with Thoreau, the Pope is suggesting that the true value of our lives will not be measured by how much we do and how busy we are, but rather by what we value and how we love. This, I think, is a truism that transcends the centuries.
