The School of Education will proudly host its annual Distinguished Alumni Awards on Wednesday, October 14, 2026. This special evening will celebrate graduates whose careers reflect a commitment to educational excellence, leadership, service, and opportunity for students and educators. Through their work as educators, researchers, counselors, administrators, and advocates, the 2026 honorees are making meaningful contributions to their schools, communities, and the broader field of education.

The 2026 Distinguished Alumni Award recipients represent a diverse group of professionals whose work spans education, research, counseling, leadership, and policy. Their accomplishments reflect the many ways School of Education graduates apply their knowledge and experience to strengthen educational systems, support students and educators, and expand opportunities for others. Please join us in congratulating this year’s honorees and celebrating their contributions to the Loyola community and beyond.
