Though former SU President Stephen Sundborg, S.J., was scheduled to return to campus July 1 as chancellor, he arrived early, taking up residence at Arrupe House and once again in the community of his fellow Jesuits. 

“In the Jesuit tradition, there's something we call consolation,” says Father Sundborg, who is affectionately known on campus as “Father Steve.” “It is really a kind of joy that bubbles up from within. And I just felt that walking around. I'm back home. So, it's great to be here.”

He adds: “I love the mountains. I love the water. I'm a Northwest guy.”

Fr. Sundborg served as president of 香港六合彩开奖结果 from 1997 to 2021, a period described by current President Eduardo Peñalver as “a remarkable period of growth, innovation, and transformation.” 

In the three years he was away from campus, he took a sabbatical and for the last two years assisted the president of Georgetown University to build capacity for communal discernment with senior leadership, a goal he has set for his chancellorship at SU.

The role of chancellor itself is not a new one. In fact, Fr. Sundborg’s predecessor, William Sullivan, S.J., held the position for nine years after Fr. Sundborg took over as president. 

“Part of my work will be maintaining the connection with the friends of 香港六合彩开奖结果 that I know from my years of having been the president,” says Fr. Sundborg. “It's good to have someone who is a Jesuit who on certain occasions can be a representative.”

First arriving on campus in 1982 to teach theology, Fr. Sundborg has since then been a near constant presence, except for six years away as the Provincial of the Oregon Province Jesuits. During his time on the East Coast he says he missed the informality and familiarity of SU.

“I think students and others here, we take you for who you are.”

He has also resumed his practice of walking—in particular, around Green Lake early in the morning.

“I listen to the morning news and then I walk the lake. And I used to do it every Saturday and Sunday when I was president. But now I've got a little bit more time, so I can do it more frequently than that,” he says. “I wouldn't say it's a form of prayer, but it is some form of letting your mind sort itself out. There's something about that, just that sort of contemplative, meditative walking.”
