The directors of the campus ministry programs at Jesuit colleges and universities meet at the Franciscan Renewal Center in Phoenix, Arizona every other Spring. In the other years, the directors meet at a site where they can all visit one or two of the Jesuit colleges and universities. In the years that the directors meet at the colleges and universities, they spend a good deal of time meeting university faculty, staff, and campus ministry personnel. A theme or topic is picked that is particularly relevant to those universities with experts from the schools giving the directors input. When the group meets at the Franciscan Renewal Center, the directors will bring in certain experts who can help them all on topics that are particularly relevant. Some time will also be spent talking about the current "hot topics" on the campuses, including retreats and national/international service trips.
