GRADUATE SCHOOL KELLEY H. SZANY


MA ’02 • Director of educa- tion, Illinois Holocaust Mu- seum & Education Center


‘‘ Through my work I am


able to encourage people and empower people so that they can make a dif- ference, so that as citizens of the world they can step in and they can speak out against injustices. That is something I’m passionate about, and it is inherent in the theme of social justice.

COMMUNICATION MARTIN J. STOCK


BA ’84 • CEO, Cavalry advertising agency


‘‘ The Jesuit education


at Loyola molds you and I think the power in that is that it’s there all the time and you may not even know it . . . I think the Loyola Jesuit education is behind a lot of the things that I do. I’d have a hard time saying exactly what though, because it shapes a philosophy and an ap- proach to things.

QUINLAN BUSINESS


STEVEN D. MCCULLOUGH


BBA ’89 • COO, Communities In Schools


‘‘ [One] thing Loyola


instills is to pay it forward and do the work that you need to do so that the next generation can be successful. And that’s why I love what I’m doing now . . . it really gives me a sense of accomplishment and pride to see kids who would’ve dropped out of school staying in and leading successful lives.

SISTER NORMA S. PIMENTEL


MA ’95 • Executive director, Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley


‘‘ Loyola opened my eyes


to understand the human person in a more holistic way . . . As a person helping immigrants, being present for that person that is needing to be reaffirmed and validated for who they are and what they’re going through, it’s almost as if Loyola helped me to become an instrument of God to serve others.


’’ STRITCH MEDICINE


DR. THOMAS J. GOBLIRSCH


MD ’85, LUMC Resident ’90 • Anesthesiologist, educa- tor, and Air Force colonel


‘‘ We were taught almost


from our beginning mo- ments at Loyola . . . how to be empathic, how to look at the whole per- son . . . [My work] fit in per- fectly with the way I feel about serving others— that you could practice medicine and serve others at the same time—and Loyola had a huge influ- ence on that.

SOCIAL WORK DANIEL J. KILL


MSW ’74 • Clinical social worker


‘‘ Social justice is em-


bedded in social work. It is one of our values and part of our own code of ethics that we will respond to social justice issues, both in an advocacy role as well as in a personal role . . . We need people that will come to the forefront and advocate for people who are marginalized.

NIEHOFF NURSING SHARON L. O’KEEFE


MSN ’76 • President, University of Chicago Medical Center


‘‘ To me it’s very difficult


to think about being in a service industry such as health care and to not have a deep interest in the lives of everyone. Wheth- er that’s the patients you serve, the community, or the colleagues, that is one of the most important things. I really love con- necting with people.

CONTINUING AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES


CYNTHIA A. DICKENS


MUND ’96, MSHR ‘99 • Hu- man resources professional


‘‘ Social justice means to


me, even in my day-to-day work, that colleagues are treated fairly and equally. No matter what the pro- cess, no matter what the cause is, that there is fair and equitable representa- tion for employees at any company.

I was over in Rome how lucky I was to live where I lived—not only the com- munity but in the country that I lived in—and how fortunate we all are, you can’t shake that. You feel that when you can, you want to do something to help others.
