Tell us something most people at Loyola would be surprised to know about you. Loyola was my destiny! For my whole life I passed through Loyola’s Lakeshore campus every month on the way to my aunt’s apartment in Roger’s Park; lived on Lakeshore campus & earned my bachelor’s in Social Work and took classes at LSC & WTC; was a student leader in Lakefront Hall/Santa Clara and an RA in Mertz, and coordinated Loyola’s first Parent’s Weekend in 1982. My parents even met here, in the ballroom of Lewis Towers back in 1950.
