University of St. Thomas - Houston

Coordinator of Campus Life and Campus Ministry Outreach

Campus Life

The University of St. Thomas (UST) is a private Catholic University committed to the liberal arts and the religious and intellectual tradition of Catholic higher education, located in Houston, Texas, near the vibrant central business district, Texas Medical Center, and museum district. The University considers candidates in light of their professional credentials, experience, and compatibility with the University's Catholic identity and purpose. UST is committed to hiring individuals who can help to advance its integrated mission-the formation of the whole person for flourishing in this life and the next-and give public witness to that mission in new ways. The University's Catholic identity is at the center of this mission, a Catholicism expressed for our own age by the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1992), and Pope Saint John Paul II's Ex Corde Ecclesiae. The University asks all candidates applying for a position to consider these documents to ensure that their professional goals, practices, and values can align with them. While applicants need not be Catholic, they need to be able to support joyfully, professionally, and publicly the University as it seeks to be faithful to and embody both a robust Catholicism--in its intellectual, doctrinal, moral, and spiritual dimensions.
