Michael E. Engh, S.J., Becomes Santa Clara University's 28th President
Amid colorful banners and reminders to protect the needy in the global quest for sustainability, Michael E. Engh, S.J. became Santa Clara University’s 28th president Friday morning.
Speaking of the need to take time to “consider all living beings,” Engh issued a proposal for Santa Clara to become a leading center for “just sustainability,” to ensure that socially and economically marginalized people aren’t further harmed in the worldwide “green wave” toward conserving resources.
“I propose that we seriously consider becoming a major center for discussion of environmental justice, and for examining the ethical dimensions of how we treat the physical world,” he said.
