As time passed, I have come to know more deeply the meaning of the letters and the words. At Saint Joseph’s, we refer to them simply as “The Magis.” What is the value and purpose of a Saint Joseph’s education? What does magis really mean? As you are reading this, you must have your own response, based on your years on Hawk Hill, and the life you chose to lead afterward. While your answer may differ from your classmates’ responses, you’ll find that they are linked under the umbrella of the University’s new Mission Statement. You have probably seen the University’s embrace of magis, online and on street banners, television commercials and billboards. The theme of Saint Joseph’s branding campaign, it is a term derived from that Jesuit motto Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
