Le Moyne JUHAN

The Jesuit Universities Humanitarian Action Network (JUHAN) was recently started at Le Moyne to bring awareness, opportunities, and connections.

Student-run, faculty-advised undergraduate JUHAN clubs and organizations are an important fixture on JUHAN campuses.

Driven by this belief that our Jesuit academic institutions can be more effective when working together rather than independently, the network seeks to advance both undergraduate humanitarian education and the professional field of humanitarian action by:

Bringing students into the professional field at an early stage in their education;
Forming an educated citizenry; for those students that are not pursuing careers in humanitarian action, providing exposure to knowledge and skills needed to become engaged citizens;
Developing an educational program that places emphasis on the ethical dimensions of humanitarian action. On each campus, the JUHAN project involves:

Student leadership teams charged with raising awareness and responding to humanitarian crises;
Academic courses that focus on humanitarian issues from various disciplines;
A national student skill-building and leadership conference for students from Jesuit academic institutions.
