Pamela Morris
Dr. Pamela Morris describes herself as someone who has always enjoyed diversity in her work and her life. There are several universities that she has lent her talents to, including Syracuse, DePaul, Northern Illinois University—and now, of course, Loyola University Chicago. Morris has held her position at Loyola for nearly ten years now, and she shares that what keeps her here is the students. “There’s something very thoughtful about our students,” she notes. “I’ve gotten to see a lot of students, and there is a difference.”
Mark G Kuczewski
It is fairly rare to find someone with an intense interest in their own work as well as helping those in need, but Dr. Mark G Kuczewski, PhD carries both passions equally. Having been a part of the Stritch School of Medicine since 2000, Dr. Kuczewski shares that he has “found a home” in Loyola, which is perhaps what motivates him to be so heavily involved in carrying out the Jesuit mission.
Sara Gramata
For Sara Gramata, teaching has always come naturally—in fact, she found her first pupil when she was just four or five years old. “I adopted a pet lamb and named her Bright Eyes. I not only fed her a bottle of milk before and after school, but read to her daily. I tried to get Bright Eyes to do tricks, but I don't think any of them stuck!” Professor Gramata shares.
