History in Action

Thanks to the hard work of Dr. Naomi Yavneh-Klos, a Fulbright Scholar and chair of Loyola’s Languages and Cultures Department, Loyola is hosting the traveling exhibit Anne Frank: A History for Today Primarily aimed at young people 11 to 18 years old, the international teaching exhibition tells Anne's story against the background of World War II and the Holocaust. The 30-panel exhibit is designed not only to provide historical facts but also to use peer docents to encourage discussion regarding tolerance, inclusion, racism, and human rights. Working with trainers from the Anne Frank House in the Netherlands, Loyola students in Yavneh-Klos’ seminar course, “In Quarantine with Anne Frank,” learn to serve as docents for the exhibit, guiding peers in discussions of stereotype, inclusion, tolerance, and hate. They also learn to train younger students as docents so that the exhibit can continue as an educational presence in New Orleans for multiple years, enhancing empathy and connection in teenagers.

Iggy's Cupboard

Iggy’s Cupboard is a food pantry on campus where the motto is: “Take what you need. Leave what you can.” Started by students in 2018, it’s a free resource open to all Loyola community members who may be facing food insecurity or simply need a little extra help.
