Quinlan students take top honors
LOYOLA BUSINESS STUDENTS PLACED WELL in several competitions this summer and fall. At the Teradata University Network 2015 international student competition, the Quinlan School of Business was the only school to place a team in both the “Data Challenge” and “Business Analytics” competitions, as both teams were voted “best presentation” by conference attendees. Both were also the only undergraduate teams to make it to the final round. Quinlan students tested their knowledge against real-world inventory management situations
at the 2015 APICS International Student Case Competition. The team advanced to the interna- tional competition after besting the regional round. Students also took high honors at the 2015 Collegiate ECHO Marketing Challenge, a national competition that asked students to create an integrated marketing campaign promoting DirectTV’s Refer-a-Friend program. One team placed second in the graduate student competition; another received an honorable mention. Quinlan also hosted its own case competition, where a record-breaking 90 students from 23 teams translated their knowledge into a solution for a case on a sustainable supply chain for IKEA.

of corporate social responsibility on business, government, and education, and the benefits to balancing shareholder and stakeholder inter- ests. “This is the core of Quinlan’s Jesuit-inspired commitment to social responsibility and ethical leadership,” said Quinlan Dean Kevin Stevens. “Discussions like this distinguish Loyola.” Take a look inside the new Schreiber Center,

New Quinlan degree program spans continents The Quinlan School of Business is now
wo business degrees, two continents, three countries—all in four years. That’s the promise of Quinlan’s new
double degree program, which allows students to earn a US bachelor’s degree from Loyola Uni- versity Chicago and a bachelor’s degree from Universidad Loyola Andalucía in Spain. Students will gain a deep understanding of
both American and European business through two semesters in Seville, one semester in Rome, and five semesters in Chicago. Susan Ries, Quinlan’s assistant dean for undergraduate pro- grams, says the program is ideal for students interested in working in the European Union. “This degree is their credential from the get go,” she says. “Without sponsors, it may take an American years to become credentialed and fully employable in Spain.”
recruiting the first cohort of students from the current freshman class, and for the second cohort from fall 2017 applicants. Meanwhile, the first 16 students from Universidad Loyola Andalucía arrived in Chicago this fall. Although American students won’t head
to Andalucía until fall 2016, last spring senior Ally Ryder became the first Loyola University Chicago student to study in Spain. Ryder says she felt more connected to Loyola’s Jesuit iden- tity while studying abroad. “We as individuals made the choice to come to a Jesuit school,” she says. “So when you’re having everyday conversations with the [Universidad Loyola An- dalucía] students, you always end up mention- ing some social justice issue or how you want to make a difference in the world around you.”
