LUC ranked
among
top 100
Loyola University Chicago
came in at No. 99 in the latest
U.S. News & World Report
ranking of the top national
universities, marking the
first time Loyola has cracked
the top 100. The rankings,
which include 1,376 schools
grouped into four categories,
take into account a variety of
factors ranging from student
retention and graduation
rates to peer assessments
by fellow university
administrators. “Over the
past few years, Loyola has
placed a strong emphasis
on the quality of the
undergraduate educational
experience,” says Interim
President John P. Pelissero,
PhD. “I believe our efforts
were noticed by our peers,
high school counselors, and
prospective students.”
Phoenix
rises to
the top
The
Loyola Phoenix
, the
University’s student
newspaper, was named
the best non-daily student
newspaper by the Society
of Professional Journalists.
The award was presented
September 19 at the
society’s 2015 Excellence in
Journalism conference in
Orlando, Florida. This marks
the second time in six years
that the
Phoenix
has earned
this honor.
Festiveopening for
Quinlanbuilding
The John and Kathy Schreiber Center, the state-of-the-art new building housing Loyola’s Quinlan School of Business,
celebrated its opening with a day of festivities on September 15. WGN Radio broadcast live from the building during the
day. Nearly 100 of Chicago’s corporate leaders attended a CEO Summit sponsored by AT&T Illinois and featuring General
Colin L. Powell, USA (Ret.), and a panel of executives. The evening was capped off by a gala dinner attended by nearly 500
people, including Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, benefactors John and Kathy Schreiber, and Gen. Powell. In total, the
event raised $750,000, with the proceeds supporting business student scholarships.
