The call of the
Loyola’s newest campus is a long way from Sheridan Road and Michigan Avenue, in more ways than one. Purchased in May, the 100-acre retreat center, formerly operated by the Congregation of the Resurrection, will be known as the Loyola University Chicago Retreat and Ecology Campus.
4 LOYOLA MAGAZINE Located in rural Woodstock, about 50 miles
outside of Chicago, the new campus features prairie, woodlands, an oak savannah, ponds, and wetlands, as well as a 100-guest retreat center with a dining area, chapel, and community spaces. The new campus offers a sanctuary for self-reflec-
tion and transformation. “It will enable us to provide an undergraduate experience unmatched by any other Jesuit university,” says Robert Kelly, vice president for student development. The University’s biology department and Center for
Urban Environmental Research and Policy (CUERP) also have ambitious plans for the campus. The site will be an invaluable asset for courses like Field, Wetland, and Restoration Ecology.
