A respect for our impacts to environment, economy and equality is part of decision-making at all levels. The Office of Sustainability's goal is to support the faculty, staff, students and alumni in making the University a leader in the Chicago region, and internationally among Jesuit institutions. Loyola University Chicago is embracing sustainability through our campuses, curriculum and community. For more information, please visit: https://www.luc.edu/sustainability/campus/index.shtml

Sustainability at Orientation 

To support our mission of sustainability, at orientation, students and families will learn more about sustainability initiatives and infrastructure via educational sessions, small group discussions, campus walking tours, and a resource fair. Students will receive a reusable Cupanion water bottle at check-in to use at orientation and throughout their time at Loyola. Every time students' refill their water bottle, Cupanion gives clean water to a person in need. Very limited handouts are provided at orientation, as students and guests will be directed to websites to access information and resources. Students and families will also participate in a zero-waste picnic to conclude their orientation experience, where the orientation leaders will provide tips on composting and recycling.
