Poland Jesuit Center for Research & Teaching Innovation

Named for Walter '66 and the late MaryAnne Poland, the Poland Jesuit Center for Research and Teaching Innovation was founded in 2021 to encourage Madden faculty research, discovery and teaching innovation.

The Center focuses on innovation and thought leadership with an eye toward deepening global engagement and societal impact. It honors the College's Ignatian roots as it builds the intellectual infrastructure and faculty capacity, skills and knowledge necessary to strengthen the culture of research within the Madden School and to forge partnerships across the community and around the world.
