What’s magis? It’s a Jesuit principle that calls us to do more, like traveling to another country for the best education possible. Magis inspires us to think more broadly, work a little harder, and make each choice better than the last. Living the magis opens up a whole world of opportunity for us to make life better – not just for ourselves, but also for others. Where might magis lead you?
