FROM THE PRESIDENT AND CEO MICHAEL J. GARANZINI, S.J.
I 2 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO
am pleased to share this issue of Loyola magazine with you. We at Loyola begin the new year with an ever-deepening commitment to the service of faith and the promotion of justice that are at the very heart of our Jesuit, Catholic mission. Our students and alumni are uniquely attuned to the socioeconomic challenges that disproportionately affect the most vulnerable members of our world. In this issue, you’ll read about the Life After Innocence and Life After Justice projects and
their impact helping exonerees. Internationally, two of our Stritch School of Medicine alumni spent three years running a hospital in rural Nepal. Also included here is an interview with double alumna Hollye Jacobs, RN, MS, MSW, who has written a book about her experience battling breast cancer, as well as an article on the student-run Labre Homeless Ministry program. These stories demonstrate some of the many ways that our alumni and our students contribute to building a more just world. This past fall, we welcomed 2,512 new freshmen students, our largest incoming class ever. Total Univer-
sity enrollment is 16,000 students, which includes a 10 percent increase in our new graduate student num- bers. We are fortunate to welcome so many talented young men and women who seek both an exceptional education as well as transformative service-learning and internship opportunities. Loyola also moved up five spots in the latest U.S. News & World Report rankings to No. 101. We are regularly updating information on speakers, programs, research projects, and more on our
website at
LUC.edu, so be sure to check back often for updates about the many goings-on here at Loyola. I wish you and yours a very happy and blessed New Year.
