Celebrating Our Heritage: Slovenian Spirit Across the Globe

This festive season, we’re reminded of the incredible way the Slovenian spirit is kept alive in homes around the world, filled with the language, songs, and scents of our homeland, no matter how far they may be. Our Junior Fellowship Visit Slovenia program is a testament to the enduring connection between our heritage and our future. Over the years, we have enabled more than 80 young people to be part of this transformative program.

Our core values

The three core values are permeated
by a special care for the Slovenian heritage.

Academic Excellence

We seek an uncompromising standard of excellence in teaching, learning, creativity, and scholarship within and across disciplines.

Character Formation

We seek to form the whole person: men and women distinguished by intellectual rigor, moral character, community building and the ability to make ethical decisions.

Dedicated Service

We seek to prepare global citizens who advocate for the benefit of humanity and contribute to the
intellectual, economic and cultural vitality of society by serving those with least access to power in order to promote the flourishing of all.
