Resources for Undocumented Students
Welcome! The commitment of Loyola University Chicago (LUC) is ultimately the service of faith and the promotion of justice. “Our Ignatian heritage is the living legacy of Saint Ignatius Loyola. It is a rich heritage of faith, seeking God in everyday life; a profound commitment to the poor and to issues of social responsibility and justice. Ignatius believed that it is imperative to act upon what is learned–to use our values in service to humanity because we are called to make a difference as persons for others.”
