Mission identity - mission identity services assist member institutions with programs and tools to enhance their Jesuit mission identity. Services also include consultations, conferences and retreats.

Leadership institute - Jesuit leadership development seminar participants are introduced to the foundations of Jesuit education and actively engage in discussions with peers from around the country on how the Jesuit educational tradition may be applied in the everyday work of university decision-making.

Government relations - the organization's federal registered lobbyist represents the twenty-seven member institutions located in the u.s.
