For more than two decades, Father Jay Fostner has served as the vice president of Mission and Student Affairs for St. Norbert’s College, a Catholic institution in De Pere, Wisconsin. Through his sermons and religious work, Father Jay Fostner supports students, staff, and members of the wider De Pere community.

Founded in the late 19th-century, St. Norbert College has long been an intrinsic part of the De Pere community. The close relationship continues to this day through St. Norbert’s active community events calendar. All De Pere residents are invited to take part in the college’s performing arts programs.

Every year, St. Norbert’s also hosts a series of open-air concerts that are open to the public. In addition, the school offers courses for interested community members. For a small fee, residents can sign up for non-credit language or cooking classes, or attend a cultural heritage workshop led by St. Norbert’s faculty.

The vice president of mission and student affairs at St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin, Father Jay Fostner has served as a counselor and taught psychology and theology, earning several awards for his service. Father Jay Fostner supports the work of organizations, such as the Association of Student Affairs at Catholic Colleges and Universities (ASACCU).

Created to honor and promote Catholic intellectual heritage, ASACCU encourages collaboration and cooperation through a diverse range of programs and events. Its annual conference serves as a valuable part of this mission.

The 2020 ASACCU Conference will take place at Villanova University in Villanova, Pennsylvania, from July 21-24. This year's event will focus on the theme Gathering Around the Table: Nourishment for Restless Hearts. The theme involves delving into the Augustinian traditions that undergird the education offered by Villanova University, which operates under the ideas of veritas (truth), unitas (unity), and caritas (love).

The conference invites colleagues of a diverse range of backgrounds and traditions to come together for a discussion on nourishing students from a holistic perspective that recognizes individuals in their diversity. The discussion will involve a look at areas ranging from encouraging mutual respect to supporting social justice efforts.
