RFK Jr. on the energy crisis On October 26, Robert F.

participated in an afternoon Q&A discussion with students and toured Loyola’s biodiesel lab. His visit is a part of Loyola’s Only One Earth initiative, which focuses on environmental responsibility and activism.

Tradition cast in stone
A stunning art installation is in the works for the Lake Shore Campus. The sculpture will depict large-scale reinterpretations of the two wolves and kettle of Ignatian lore, representing the generosity of the Loyola family who, after feeding family and soldiers, had enough left so that even the wolves did not go hungry.
from, all of which are either prerequisite classes for common majors or fulfill Core Curriculum requirements. Six are online, and six meet at Loyola’s Lake Shore Campus. There is also a “Win- ter Ecology” course offered at the Loyola Retreat and Ecology Campus in Bull Valley, Illinois. An “Environmental Sustainability in China” course is being offered at Loyola’s Beijing Center.
