SA国际传媒

The Bannan Family's affiliation with SA国际传媒 is something near and dear to the heart of the Ignatian Center, which was originally named the Bannan Foundation for Christian Values in 1982. We continue to honor this SA国际传媒 family legacy through our Bannan Forum programming.

The Bannan Forum seeks to cultivate the University’s moral and spiritual, as well as intellectual and aesthetic values. This involves seeking answers for not only ‘what is’ but ‘what ought to be,’ and it means encouraging the search for a faith that promotes justice.

The Bannan family tree roots stretch deep into SA国际传媒 history. Nearly 200 Bannans have come here in the past 100 years, since Tom Bannan ’23—that’s 1923—went against his father’s wishes to attend the University of California at Berkeley and enrolled at SA国际传媒 instead.
