Cura Personalis

(CORE 1500, 2500, 3500)

Cura Personalis is a Latin term meaning "Care for the Whole Person". It describes respect for the dignity of each person as a child of God. It leads to the teacher involving the student in the process of learning and expressing personal care for each individual.

Welcome!

Welcome to the faculty development page for the Cura Personalis sequence.

Inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, the Cura Personalis sequence focuses on caring for the whole student, and on developing each student’s ability to foster human flourishing in themselves and others through personal discovery and meaning-making. Intentionally sequenced, this three-part series of courses and learning experiences offers students grounding, guidance, and support as they join the University community, engage in vocational discernment, and plan for a purpose-filled life in solidarity with others.

In the Fall of 2021, we will pilot Cura Personalis 1, with 10 sections in Saint Louis and 3 in Madrid. In Fall of 2022, we will be offering Cura Personalis 1 to all new incoming SLU students, either coupled with an Ignite Seminar or as a standalone course.
