Emerging in the wake of the Second Vatican Council, IPS began as a summer program responding to the Church's call for broader lay engagement and pastoral renewal. Over six decades, it has evolved into a vibrant, self-standing academic unit reporting directly to the Provost - one marked by theological rigor, pastoral innovation, and responsiveness to the changing realities of the Church and the world. It remains a valuable part of Loyola's academic portfolio and a unique academic unit within US Jesuit universities. Today, IPS offers a wide range of mission-driven graduate programs in pastoral studies, counseling, spirituality, and social justice, alongside robust efforts in continuing education. These programs combine academic formation with spiritual, pastoral, and human development, including the MA in Pastoral Counseling, MA in Pastoral Studies (with multiple concentrations), MA in Christian Spirituality, MA in Social Justice, and the Master of Divinity, as well as certificates and dual-degree options in partnership with other Loyola schools. With many offerings available online or in hybrid formats, IPS serves a geographically diverse and professionally varied student body - faithful, curious, and committed individuals who become leaders in local, national, and international pastoral settings. At the heart of IPS is a devoted community of faculty and staff who believe deeply in preparing the next generation of pastoral leaders through applied, contextual scholarship and mentorship rooted in Ignatian values. Their teaching and research cultivate pastoral imagination, spiritual depth, and intellectual excellence in an environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and attentive to the gifts each person brings to this important work. Through strong ecclesial and ecumenical relationships, IPS sustains considerable global outreach and engagement, advancing the Church's mission through initiatives such as the Parish Leadership and Management programs, the Ignatian Wisdom Fellowship for adult vocational discernment, and the Miguel Pro, S.J. Pastoral Protagonism Initiative, which empowers Hispanic/Latinx ministry. The Institute also maintains a robust spiritual formation program that ensures graduates are not only professionally equipped but personally grounded and missionally inspired. A unique part of Loyola University Chicago's academic portfolio, IPS stands as both a site of missional activation and a place where questions of ultimate concern are engaged with intellectual honesty and spiritual depth. Its graduates serve across dioceses, parishes, nonprofits, and educational institutions, extending Loyola's Jesuit mission in the life of the Church and a range of pastoral settings. For a prospective Executive Director, IPS represents a distinctive opportunity to lead an established yet evolving institution at the intersection of academic formation, spiritual leadership, and social transformation-one poised to expand its reach, deepen its partnerships, and continue forming pastoral leaders for a world in need of healing and hope. Role of the Executive Director The Executive Director will help uplift and define the next era of the Institute of Pastoral Studies and will address key strategic and operational priorities. To be successful in this role, the Executive Director will: * Be mission-centered servant leader * Collaborate with resourceful and committed faculty and staff to promote outstanding teaching, formation, scholarship and public engagement * Creatively build relationships with members of Loyola's council of Executive Directors and Provost leadership team * Bring or build a reputation for leadership that enhances IPS's role within the Archdiocese of Chicago, the US Church, the global Church, and IPS's many ecumenical partners * Identify and leverage alternative sources of revenue, including philanthropy and extramural grants * Promote the financial health of the Institute by effectively manage resources * Advance a strategic plan for IPS that builds upon the university's strategic plan, with particular contributions to strengthening Loyola's Jesuit, Catholic culture and delivering on the promise of a Jesuit education Key Opportunities and Challenges for the Executive Director Finding creative solutions for enrollment challenges, particularly those tailored for graduate-level residential, online, and hybrid pastoral studies programs The Executive Director will bring imagination and strategic vision to address enrollment dynamics in graduate theological education. IPS serves diverse learners-professionals discerning vocation, ministers deepening formation, and students seeking meaning in complex times. The opportunity lies in designing flexible, mission-driven pathways that meet contemporary learners where they are-through innovative online, hybrid, and residential programs. The next Executive Director will embrace data-informed decision-making while remaining grounded in Jesuit values, ensuring that recruitment and retention strategies reflect both academic rigor and the transformative character of pastoral formation. Creating a culture of meaningful connection between students, faculty, and staff, with special attention to a context where in-person and online teaching and learning co-exist In a learning environment that blends in-person and online experiences, the Executive Director will cultivate a community rooted in authentic encounter and shared mission. IPS thrives when students, faculty, and staff feel supported and spiritually nourished. The Executive Director will champion initiatives that foster belonging and collaboration across platforms, ensuring that formation and community life remain hallmarks of the IPS experience. Grounded in Ignatian pedagogy, this work calls for creativity and empathy: building bridges across distance and difference to sustain a vibrant, inclusive culture of connection and shared purpose. Helping grow Loyola's profile by effectively leveraging the strong relationships IPS has with the local and international Church IPS has longstanding relationships with local parishes, dioceses, and international Church networks. The next Executive Director will nurture these bonds while envisioning new partnerships that amplify Loyola's global Jesuit mission. This role invites a leader who can translate the richness of Catholic intellectual and pastoral tradition into meaningful engagement with the Church, ecumenical partners, and society. By connecting IPS's academic strengths with real-world pastoral needs, the Executive Director can help position Loyola as a leader in theological and ministerial formation - one that listens deeply, responds boldly to contemporary realities, and models faith seeking justice in action.

The Executive Director will sustain this legacy by helping the community discern how best to live it in today's context.
