Loyola magazine asked Father Garanzini to reflect on his tenure—and to look ahead
THE UNIVERSITY’S GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• I think the first hurdle was putting Loyola on a financial model that allowed for sufficient margin with opportunity to invest in the future. We put about $600 million into infrastructure: that’s taking care of old plant, renovating plant, and then building new plant. Getting that model in place was crucial.
• Loyola had the opportunity to seize the wave of Chicago’s own economic growth over the past ten years. We’ve been able to take advantage of the city’s marvelous transformation by being ourselves a player in that transformation.
• We’re much more conscious of our mission and identity as a Jesuit, Catholic, urban, research institution. We’re much more deliberate in stating and living up to that specific identity.
• We’ve been able to plan for the future, with regard to the medical center, in a very difficult and changing health science and medical environment.

• We’ve grown from a local to an international, worldwide institution. Our presence in Vietnam and Beijing, establishing a permanent home for the Rome Center, and working with the Jesuit universities in Peru and Indonesia are just examples of the kind of international perspective we’ve gained in the past decade.
