About the Symposium Theme: MAGIS 

In Jesuit traditions and education, MAGIS refers to the philosophy of doing "more" or "the greater good" for others. It asks individuals to constantly discern and choose the option that will have the most positive and universal impact. We therefore commemorate our 15th Annual International Symposium on Digital Ethics in this broader theme that connects with our mission-driven priorities at Loyola University Chicago.  

Proposals from LUC alumni, community practitioners, and early career scholars are especially encouraged.
