Partner Campaign Completed

Over 50,000 donors helped us surpass the $500 million goal of Partner: The Campaign for the Future of Loyola, which ended on June 11, 2011. The campaign raised over $530 million and finished two years ahead of schedule. This is a transformative achievement for Loyola. Thank you!
