What will the funds raised support?
Funds raised go to The Titan Annual Fund which closes the gap between the cost of tuition and the cost to educate our students, and provides flexible funding to address our most pressing needs: tuition assistance, technology upgrades, and campus improvements. A portion of the funds will also support a new Student Philanthropy Fund that student council members will grant out to support student organizations.
What does "Wolf & Kettle" mean? Where did this come from?
The story of the wolf and kettle dates back centuries to the Loyola family of Spain. There lived a prosperous and generous family who, after feeding family, retainers, and soldiers, had enough to feed even the wild animals. To commemorate this act of generosity, a carving of two wolves eating at a cauldron was placed over the lintel of the family’s home. Many centuries later, St. Ignatius of Loyola would be born into this family and would go on to establish the Jesuit order and change the world. Many Jesuit educational organizations celebrate this culture and history of generosity that speaks to our mission of being Men for Others.
