Our Philosophy
Many students enter college with unresolved big questions about major life decisions.
- Who am I?
- How can I make a difference?
- What should I do with my life?
At Loyola University Chicago, you will find a powerful ally in seeking answers to these questions.
We believe callings are bigger than any one major, job, career or life decision. Callings are about you, and who you choose to be in this world. Callings continue throughout your lifetime. We are convinced that each person, regardless of spiritual tradition, has a calling - a way in which his or her unique contribution can make the world a better place.
At Loyola, we prepare people to lead extraordinary lives. Developing an awareness of your calling is an important starting point for leading an extraordinary life. Evoke encourages, supports and challenges everyone at Loyola to identify and respond to their callings. Since 2000, Evoke has provided students with a distinctive opportunity to discover their calling and connect it to their future both in and beyond the clasroom.
