Mission Integration

Under the supervision of the President, the Vice President for Mission Integration is primarily responsible for instilling, nourishing, and promoting the core values and principles of the Ateneo de Manila University, as embodied in the teachings of St Ignatius of Loyola and the Society of Jesus, among members of the Ateneo community.

In promoting and developing a thriving culture based on Ignatian Spirituality and its integral component of generous service to God and to society, the Vice President for Mission Integration shall be responsible and accountable for:

the wholistic formation of the members of the Ateneo community in the following aspects of development and formation: spiritual, psychological, social and physical; and,
ensuring that the University stays faithful to its mission of rendering meaningful service to society.

The VPMI is a new position which will bring together the functions of “formation” and “social engagement” in the different academic and administrative units of the university. As such, current efforts are being undertaken so that “formation offices” as well as “social engagement offices” will report functionally to the VPMI even as they continue to serve specific academic or central administrative units.
