Welcome Message
DEAR ALUMNI, PARENTS, AND FRIENDS,
Welcome to the "green" issue of Loyola magazine. While being environmentally conscious is far from a new idea, it is something that has recently become a priority for Loyola University Chicago. In this issue, read about the new Richard J. Klarchek Information Commons, a digital library with a cutting-edge, environmentally friendly design. This issue also features the many components of the University’s sustainability initiative, a set of programs focused on reducing Loyola’s ecological footprint, and our Fast Class offers ways you make your everyday routine a little more green.
I am pleased to announce that this issue of Loyola magazine is green not only in content, but by its nature: this issue, as all issues will be from now on, is composed of paper with 10 percent post-consumer waste content, and is printed with Enviro/Tech-classified ink made with soy, linseed, and corn. To complete the circle, we encourage you to recycle this issue when you are finished reading it.
Thank you for your readership. I hope you enjoy learning about the goings-on on our campuses, and about the ways Loyola students, faculty, staff, and alumni are contributing to their communities and the world. As always, I welcome your feedback and correspondence. I wish you a wonderful and renewing spring.
Anastasia Busiek
Editor, Loyola magazine
