Dr. Fauci Reflects on How He Has Lived Out Jesuit Values in His Career
February 22, 2024
Dr. Anthony Fauci reflected on how his Jesuit training has shaped his decades-long career in medicine and public service during the annual induction ceremony for Georgetown’s student-led chapter of Alpha Sigma Nu, the national Jesuit honor society.
Fauci, a Distinguished University Professor at Georgetown’s School of Medicine and the McCourt School of Public Policy, has a long history with Jesuit education starting from when he attended Regis High School, a Jesuit school in New York City, and then the College of the Holy Cross.
Alpha Sigma Nu membership, the highest award conferred by Jesuit colleges and universities, recognizes juniors and seniors who demonstrate a commitment to service and the Jesuit ideals of education. During the ceremony for 101 inductees and three honorary members, including Dr. Fauci, he spoke on the three pillars of Alpha Sigma Nu — scholarship, loyalty and service.
“The Jesuit call to serve others was again among the key factors that led me to start my career as a physician-scientist by joining the NIH in 1968,” Fauci said in his remarks.
Fauci spent 54 years serving in the National Institutes of Health. Recounting his time in the 1980s confronting the AIDS epidemic, Fauci described how he, against the advice of his mentors, redirected his career to tackle the disease. When he was selected as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, he was charged with building an HIV and AIDS research program from scratch.
As the face of the government’s response to the epidemic, Fauci endured personal attacks and demonstrations protesting the government’s progress in handling the disease. In the process, Fauci said he stayed true to his Jesuit training, especially its emphasis on service, to forge ahead.
“I did something many of my peers were intimated to do, I invited some of the activists up to my office to engage them in a conversation,” Fauci said. “And when they were not shouting and when I listened carefully, a lot of what they were saying made sense and I realized that if I were in their shoes, I would be doing exactly what they were doing — protesting and demonstrating.
“Loyalty to the Jesuit ideals of caring for and service to others was the consistent driving force for me over those 43 years that I was involved in the AIDS saga,” he said.

that leaves about five UIDs
it is a cult, but it's not an act
just watched a movie I've watched many times before and realized that every 'female' dancer in the ballroom scenes is a man
it's been going on for a very long time, right in front of our faces
but in the context of 'a movie' …. suspended reality
their reality has been unsuspended and now is in full, unabashed effect
but first some Pi
