ALMA MATTERS


MEET YOUR ALUMNI RELATIONS TEAM


Loyola's Alumni Rela- tions staff is dedicated to helping our alumni stay connected to the Univer- sity—and to one another. Learn a little more about us, and drop by our offices at the Alumni House (6312 N. Winthrop Avenue) or find us at Alumni Weekend to say hello!


LETICIA NIETO (BA ’03) Director


Hometown: Chicago


Alma Mater: Loyola University Chicago


Favorite part of the job: The best part is being able to continue to call Loyola my home. So many of my peers, even the ones that live in Chicago, are not able to make it to campus very often. I am very lucky to come to work every day to a place that helped me grow into the person I am today and helped shaped my value system. I am also incredibly fortunate to meet alumni from across several decades who have amazing stories about the time they spent at Loyola.


Fun fact: I love the McRib.


DANA ALMDALE Assistant Director


Role: John Felice Rome Center alumni relations, national Loyola alumni chapters, and our current students


Hometown: Barrington, Illinois


Alma Mater: Illinois State University


Favorite part of the job: Having the opportunity to travel around the country meeting alumni and hear- ing how Loyola has left such a positive impact on their lives.

Role: Alumni career and professional development programming, alumni ben- efits, and Loyola Travels (alumni travel program)

Favorite part of the job: Meeting spectacular people from all walks of life and doing what I can to assist alumni throughout their professional journey.


Fun fact: I enjoy traveling, getting lost, and endless walks through the city.
