DePaul Magazine

Established in 2009 with a $7.5 million grant from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, the School of Hospitality Leadership is growing quickly. One of the basics students learn is that part of creating an enjoyable hotel stay is meeting traveler expectations. Millennials and the influence of the shared economy are driving this evolution to redefine hotel and travel experience. Nicholas Thomas, assistant professor and director of the J. Willard and Alice S. Marriott Center for Student Development and Engagement at DePaul, and some of the school’s alumni explore a few of the many new trends that hotels are adopting in …


Greenwashing In Islamic Finance? An Analysis Of Islamic Private Banks' Non-Financial Reports And A Proposal For An Islamic Finance Reporting Initiative Standard, Stefan Leins, Peter Seele, Franziska Vogel Nov 2016

Greenwashing In Islamic Finance? An Analysis Of Islamic Private Banks' Non-Financial Reports And A Proposal For An Islamic Finance Reporting Initiative Standard, Stefan Leins, Peter Seele, Franziska Vogel

Journal of Religion and Business Ethics

Since the beginning of the financial crisis in 2008, Islamic finance has been subject to a number of intriguing debates. While evidence suggests that Islamic private banks got through the imponderabilities of the financial crisis more easily than conventional banks, Islamic finance has been criticized by some as incapable of performing the functions of modern banking. Moreover, there has been a debate among academics as well as among practitioners whether Islamic finance indeed represents a new faith-based form of banking or whether it represents just a conventional way of banking that is based on the use of religious terminology. Against …

Succeeding The Jesuits: The Congregation Of The Mission And The Colégio Da Purificação In Evora, Sean A. Smith Ph.D. Sep 2016

Succeeding The Jesuits: The Congregation Of The Mission And The Colégio Da Purificação In Evora, Sean A. Smith Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Sean Smith uses the former Jesuit college in Evora, Portugal, as a case study in the transfer of Jesuit institutions to the Congregation’s direction. He examines whether the Congregation enjoyed the same patronage as the Jesuits, how the transition between the Jesuits and the Congregation was made, and whether “the Lazarists’ succession filled the educational and missionary gaps left by the Society of Jesus in Evora.” He traces the history of each community in Portugal and places it within the context of the communities’ changing fortunes throughout Europe. He concludes that, in Portugal at least, the transfer of power from …

The codes were able to successfully create graphs and obtain orbital periods for potential planets which matched published results. Additional tests were then researched to be used in the future as to confirm new planets.


Human Rights In North Korea - The Pump Don't Work Cause The Vandals Took The Handles, Steven Gariepy May 2016

Human Rights In North Korea - The Pump Don't Work Cause The Vandals Took The Handles, Steven Gariepy

International Human Rights Law Journal

Many cynics of the universality of international human rights point to persistent large-scale human-rights abusing regimes, such as the Democratic Republic of North Korea, as proof that there is nothing at all universal about human rights. This essay is an attempt to root out the implications of internal national policies on the suitability of international human rights whilst reinforcing their universality. The author of this essay, a military lawyer, reaches the conclusion that the pump of universal human rights don't work within the North Korea cause the vandals took the handle.


Preface: The Nature And Necessity Of Hospitality, Thomas A. Maier Ph.D. Apr 2016

Preface: The Nature And Necessity Of Hospitality, Thomas A. Maier Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

As Thomas Maier writes, hospitality is “a willingness to receive others when they are in need, an authentic desire to lead and serve others with a specific orientation toward the common good.” Hospitality entails sharing ourselves with others and addressing the needs of people who are marginalized in our society. It therefore promotes equality. The aspects of servant leadership that hospitality requires are discussed.


Introduction: Sacred Hospitality Leadership: Values Centered Perspectives And Practices, Thomas A. Maier Ph.D., Marco Tavanti Ph.D. Apr 2016

Introduction: Sacred Hospitality Leadership: Values Centered Perspectives And Practices, Thomas A. Maier Ph.D., Marco Tavanti Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Thomas Maier and Marco Tavanti introduce this issue of Vincentian Heritage by exploring the sacred meaning of hospitality and the role it should play in leadership. Since hospitality is a reflection of God’s love, it calls us to practice charity in all our relationships and to address the causes of injustice, particularly those that force people to leave their home countries. It is an essential part of modern society as humanity becomes increasingly migratory. The morality of hospitality leadership is discussed. It requires “serving others, developing the capacity of others, sharing your resources with others in recognition of their inner …


Vincentian Pilgrimage Hospitality: Historical And Contemporary Perspectives, Edward R. Udovic C.M., Ph.D. Apr 2016

Vincentian Pilgrimage Hospitality: Historical And Contemporary Perspectives, Edward R. Udovic C.M., Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Edward Udovic narrates the history of Vincentian pilgrimages and the tradition of hospitality within it. He describes the significance of different Vincentian pilgrimage sites, especially Saint-Lazare. He explains the role of inclusivity within DePaul University’s mission and how the university “uses pilgrimages (or Heritage Tours) as a tool to enhance mission engagement” among specially selected faculty, staff, and students. The trips are an important aspect of the university community’s Vincentian formation. Participants, who may not be Catholic or members of any organized religion, are supposed to use the experience to discern how their own values harmonize with the university’s mission. …


Hospitality Ethos With Justice And Dignity: Catholic, Vincentian, And Jesuit Perspectives On Global Migration, Marco Tavanti Ph.D. Apr 2016

Hospitality Ethos With Justice And Dignity: Catholic, Vincentian, And Jesuit Perspectives On Global Migration, Marco Tavanti Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Marco Tavanti examines the causes, consequences, and problems of global migration, and particularly forced migration, as human rights issues. We owe caritas, “human-divine love,” to migrants and must therefore treat them with a hospitality founded on justice and dignity. In the Abrahamic religions, hospitality is “generosity and graciousness” extended to friends and potentially dangerous strangers alike as a “service to God and humanity.” Such hospitality is “based on the needs of the guest, not the benefit of the host.” Hospitality was central to early Christianity and remains an imperative for today’s Church. Social justice’s role in hospitality is explored, …


Hospitality In The Manner Of St. Vincent De Paul, J. Patrick Murphy C.M., Ph.D. Apr 2016

Hospitality In The Manner Of St. Vincent De Paul, J. Patrick Murphy C.M., Ph.D.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

J. Patrick Murphy’s goal is to “discover Vincent [de Paul]’s theory and practice of hospitality in the seventeenth century and make sense of it in the twenty-first.” He does this by defining five components of hospitality: “mission, passion, make friends, listen to your heart, and active hospitality.” He explains how Vincent acted on each. Murphy also notes how eminent business leaders of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries exhibit these components within their industries. He concludes with hospitality lessons for Vincentian leaders.

Cultivating Interior Hospitality: Passing The Vincentian Legacy Through Immersion, Joyana Dvorak Apr 2016

Cultivating Interior Hospitality: Passing The Vincentian Legacy Through Immersion, Joyana Dvorak

Vincentian Heritage Journal

Joyana Dvorak gives an overview of the Vincentians in Action Service Immersion program. The program is an opportunity for DePaul University undergraduates to serve communities off-campus while being hosted by members of the Vincentian Family. In 2013, the program was assessed from the hosts’ viewpoint. The study’s methodology and results are discussed, often using hosts’ and students’ own words. As Dvorak writes, “The Vincentian legacy is passed in a meaningful way to the next generation through moments of Vincentian hospitality with [students’] peers, Vincentian hosts, and encounters with the community during the immersion experience.” The students form their own community …


The Grace And Call Of The Hospitable God, John J. Navone S.J. Apr 2016

The Grace And Call Of The Hospitable God, John J. Navone S.J.

Vincentian Heritage Journal

John Navone explains how human hospitality “images the tri-personal God of Christians who is love.” He also discusses how Jesus’s parables invite us to participate in God’s hospitality and call us to be hospitable to others. Beauty is an important part of God’s hospitality because it is the aspect of the good that attracts us. Three moments of divine and human hospitality in salvation history are identified; in each, the human hosts meet God in the form of a stranger or strangers. Since the hospitality is freely given, it is reflective of grace and of our creation. We are given …
