This study examined the espoused values of an institution whose mission calls for a focus and promotion of social justice and how that institution supports its staff’s development of a competency focused on social justice and inclusion. It examined the intersection of social justice and inclusion competence, early-career staff development, and espoused educational values, allwithin the context of Jesuit higher education and student affairs, an understudied area. The study revealed new ideas to meet the growing need to train student affairs staff on how to better support their students, so they may become citizens of the world and leaders who transform the world (University, n.d.-c).
