On April 10-11, 2015 the University of San Francisco hosted the national conference, "Islam at U.S. Jesuit Colleges and Universities." The overall aim of the conference was to examine the evolution of the mission, objectives, and identity of Catholic Jesuit colleges and universities in light of the expansion of the study of Islam and the growing presence of Muslims on Jesuit campuses. Participants representing 24 of the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities examined some of the theological implications of supporting Islamic studies as part of Jesuit education, as well as possibilities and challenges of Christian-Muslim encounters at Jesuit institutions. On the one-year anniversary of the conference, this volume consists of the written versions of the remarks delivered by the 7 of the 18 speakers at the conference. Their talks served as starting points for longer discussions involving all conference attendees collectively. Thus, this issue provides a partial but valuable record of the territory covered by the event over both days. -adapted from the Introduction by Aysha Hidayatullah
