Information for Faculty and Staff

Welcome students in the Cheer Tunnel 

As students approach the end of the Convocation Walk, they will enter into a vibrant and spirited “welcome tunnel” formed by Loyola faculty, staff, alumni, and student leaders. Your participation in this initiative is very important to the success of the tradition, and your participation will ensure a positive, welcoming experience for our students.

For faculty and staff interested in participating in this year's Convocation Cheer Tunnel, please RSVP here! This form will be open until August 20. 

Participate in Faculty Processional 

All Loyola faculty members are invited to participate in the academic processional at New Student Convocation. Faculty participating in the processional must wear academic regalia. Faculty members who do not own their own academic apparel may rent through Jostens Academic Regalia via the online registration system. The Provost's Office is pleased to provide rented apparel at no cost to members of the faculty. Faculty who rent academic apparel will be able to pick it up on the 2nd floor of the Damen Student Center beginning one hour prior to Convocation. Faculty are asked to report to Damen Student Center Multipurpose Room on the second floor by 3:30 PM. You will be able to pick up your academic apparel and discussion guide (if needed), and line up for the processional.
