Jesuit Commons: Higher Education at the Margins (JC:HEM), is an initiative of the Society of Jesus that brings Jesuit higher education to those at the margins of our society. It provides courses and degrees to refugees via the volunteer activities of online course providers from many Jesuit schools and draws on the rich Jesuit tradition of higher education. We explain how Marquette University has worked to develop courses for JC:HEM and provide ways your institution can partner to contribute courses and resources to this endeavor.
