The Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities (AJCU) has designed Eyes to See: An Anti-Racism Examen, which focuses on matters of race and racism that are specific to us and these institutions. Consisting of three parts (a video, a guided Examen, and resources for further discussion), it has been developed as a resource for boards, senior leadership teams, faculty, staff, and mixed groups of college/university colleagues. Flexible and adaptable, it can be tailored to suit the needs of leadership teams, faculty and staff members in Jesuit schools.

The guided Examen is a rich resource which motivates further reflection, assessment and planning. Many thoughtful conversations and creative initiatives on race are underway within and among Jesuit colleges and universities.

« The central visual element of the Anti-Racism Examen is a 15-minute long video featuring the voices of colleagues from across the AJCU network, sharing their experiences with racism and hopes for the future. Framed as a “Composition of Place,” it shows still photographs of students, faculty, staff, administrators and Board of Trustee members across our institutions. It can be viewed on its own, or as a tool during the guided Examen. »

All resources for Eyes to See (including a Leader’s Guide for the Examen) can be found on the AJCU website: ajcunet.edu/eyes-to-see. For more information, please write to mission@ajcunet.edu.
