Centering our Centers
Centering Our Centers
During the 2023 Ignatian Heritage Month celebration, we highlight the accomplishments of Loyola University Chicago’s many centers and institutes in “expanding knowledge in the service of humanity” with a full day of panel discussions, gatherings across all Chicago-area campuses, and with the reflections of one of our distinguished recent graduates, Flavio Bravo ‘16, on the transformative power of a Jesuit education. We honor the ways in which all of our center-affiliated students, faculty, staff and community partners put our mission into action. Join us on November 2 to kick-off Ignatian Heritage Month with great companions responding to their great callings.
