This past Monday I went back to school for the first time in 20 years (as a student).  I began work in a Masters program at Regis University here in Denver.  When it’s over I’ll have a Masters in Non-Profit Management, with a certificate in Leadership.  The process will include about 30 hours of classes and it should take me a little less than 3 years to complete the degree.

Regis is a Catholic university in the Jesuit tradition (I’ve had some interest in the Jesuits for a while now - their founder is St. Ignatius of Loyola).  I’m particularly excited about that because of the Jesuit emphasis on service and social justice.  This combination makes it a very interesting place to learn about the scope and impact of the non-profit world.

I’ll be posting some of the things I learn along the way.  Who knows, I may even format the blog in APA style.
