Hub Reinforces Loyola’s Status
Impact and Engagement
Hub reinforces Loyola’s status as a thought leader for immigration law
LOYOLA WILL LAUNCH AN AMBITIOUS NEW INITIATIVE supported by a $6 million anonymous gift to better prepare students and professionals across disciplines to meet the multifaceted challenges faced by migrant families in the U.S. and around the world.
Guided by Loyola’s Ignatian values and a pressing need for skilled immigration professionals, the Holistic Immigration Hub will bring together experts from law, health care, education, and social work to train future attorneys, judges, social workers, educators, and health practitioners in a first-of-its-kind effort by an American University.
The Hub’s scope and approach build on the work of Loyola Law’s Civitas ChildLaw Center founded in 1993, and the Center for Human Rights of Children established in 2007. It solidifies Loyola’s standing as a top destination for training immigration professionals and as a national thought leader in immigration law.
“This Hub will develop the nuanced thinking and collaboration required to create pathways for meaningful, systemic change that upholds the dignity of all migrants.” Michèle Alexandre, Dean and Professor, Loyola School of Law
