The mission of Community Relations is to strengthen Loyola University Chicago's relationships with the City of Chicago and the neighborhoods of the Lake Shore, Water Tower, Retreat and Ecology, and Medical Center Campuses. We strive to strengthen our connection to key cultural, educational, social, economic, religious and civic institutions as well as support student internships, service opportunities, research and other collaborations through targeted outreach initiatives and joint projects involving faculty, students, staff, and the greater community
