Future Goals:
Ed's goals for his future involvement in Advocate concern the safe and comfortable environment on campus that he hopes to continue.  Loyola’s accepting environment is what keeps many students here.  To lose this would be devastating to the student body.  He wants to work so that this campus remains the “safe space” that it is by educating Loyola staff on how to form such an environment.
