Deciphering The State of Santa Clara with Father O' Brien

Fr. Kevin O’Brien is the president of Santa Clara University and
former dean of SCU’s Jesuit School of Theology. He holds a
master’s degree in philosophy from Fordham University and a
Master of Divinity and a Licentiate in Sacred Theology from the
Weston Jesuit School of Theology, now part of Boston College. He
has a B.A. in government from Georgetown and a law degree from
the University of Florida, where he served as an editor on the
Florida Law Review. He served as Vice President for Mission and
Ministry at Georgetown for 8 years before coming to Santa Clara
in 2016. Furthermore, he has written a book, “The Ignatian
Adventure”, which has sold over 40,000 copies and has been
translated into three languages.


Darius and Antonio bring on Father O’ Brien to discuss the
thought process of SCU administration regarding COVID-19, how
their staff has dealt with the implications of their decisions,
the necessity to provide first-years with a quality Jesuit
education, the difficulty of getting students involved in
clubs/organizations via Zoom, how SCU is rectifying racial
injustice on campus, and the hopes for winter and spring quarter.
