“

Seeing our students and teachers working together in Zoom classrooms shows us that the absence of physical proximity during a global pandemic will not slow us down. It’s how we respond that matters. If St. Ignatius were alive today, he would be cheering us on with a hearty ‘You’ve got this!’ or at least its equivalent in Spanish or Latin!

FROM OUR LEADERSHIP

A Community United

“ F St. Ignatius believed that ‘the laborers in the Lord’s vineyard should have one foot on the ground and the other raised to proceed on their journey.’ By living with one foot raised—open to growth and ready to pivot on a moment’s notice—we successfully navigated a year like no other.

”

REV. PATRICK E. McGRATH, SJ President, Loyola Academy

ISCAL 2020 WAS A YEAR OF EXTREMES—IN THE WORLD AND IN OUR OWN LOYOLA COMMUNITY.

The year began in celebration as more than 600 Loyola community members attended the grand opening of our new Piazza and John D. Norcross ’54 Aquatic Center and learned about our plans for a new Center for the Performing Arts. By year’s end, a gathering of that size would have been unthinkable as the novel coronavirus spread unchecked around the globe. “Community” took on a different meaning as Ramblers logged into virtual classrooms and expanded their horizons with virtual after-school activities. Masses and other forms of spiritual sustenance were offered online and our long-running Ramble was reimagined as a virtual “Ramblethon” live-streamed from the Loyola Theater. Through it all, the Loyola community remained united in its support for our mission. Despite the challenges we faced, we continued to make progress on the programmatic enhancements outlined in our Strategic Vision for a Second Century of Excellence. Building on the opening of our new STEAM lab and the launch of our STEAM learning initiative in Fiscal 2019, we completed work on a STEAM makerspace and developed eight new STEAM courses in Fiscal 2020. You’ll find out more about these courses—which range from biotechnology to robotics—on pages four and five of this report. As we created new avenues of learning for our Ramblers, we also tended to their social-emotional needs. In Spring 2020, we became one of the first schools in Illinois to implement a nationally recognized suicide prevention program called the HOPE Squad. On page six, you’ll learn more about this peer-support program, which provides critical interventions for struggling students before they reach a breaking point. By March 2020, we were called to embrace a new paradigm of teaching and learning as the global pandemic upended our lives. Thanks to the extraordinary commitment, creativity and agility of our administrators, faculty and staff, we were able to keep our school community safe, connected and engaged while implementing one of the most successful e-learning programs in the Chicago area. On page eight, you’ll learn about some of the creative ways that our teachers used the virtual platform to inspire, enlighten and inform our Ramblers during the school day and after the bell. In late spring, we established a COVID-19 Recovery Team to plan for a successful start to the 2020–21 academic year. With this 46-member team in place, we were able to chart a path forward in five areas—academics, facilities, health and safety, personnel and

student life—and develop detailed remote, hybrid and on-campus learning plans to ensure uninterrupted learning as we navigate the changing realities of the pandemic. As Loyola families began to experience pandemic-related financial hardships, we focused on raising funds to meet the immediate needs of our school community, as well as an anticipated surge in tuition assistance applications for the 2020–21 academic year. In spite of the economic downturn, our benefactors remained united in their belief that the arts are an essential part of the human experience. With $22.6 million in hand for a $25.76-million Center for the Performing Arts, we are moving forward with the culminating capital enhancement in our Second Century Campaign. Our Spring 2021 groundbreaking is just months away—and the excitement is building. You’ll find out more about this 28,000-square-foot center for dance, music, theater and other creative pursuits—a place where Rambler artists and non-artists alike will soon be able to experience the transcendent power of the arts—on pages 22 and 23. Almost daily during this turbulent year, news headlines reminded us that our country’s “original sin” of racism continues to affect the lives of many people of color. The call to address racism in our hearts and in our lives demands a response from us. We answered that call in Fiscal 2020 by hiring the school’s first director of diversity, equity and inclusion and launching a comprehensive Confronting Racism initiative to support diversity, equity and inclusion in our world and in our school community. This multifaceted initiative is explained in more detail on page seven. As Fiscal 2020 drew to a close, we reflected on the transformative impact of our Strategic Vision for a Second Century of Excellence and the extraordinary commitment of the Second Century Campaign benefactors who helped us realize this vision with their generous support. Because we always have our eyes on the horizon—trusting that God is leading us to something more—we have already begun the strategic visioning process for the next five to seven years. We look forward to sharing more about our strategic objectives—which address areas such as the arts; different learning styles; diversity, equity and inclusion; faith formation; and the physical and social-emotional well-being of every Rambler—in the months to come. These days have challenged us, but our mission is strong and our future is bright. We are grateful for all that you do to make Loyola the special place that it is!

STEAM -Powered Learning

OW CAN WE STOP OUR PLANET FROM WARMING? Address racial inequality? Bridge political divides? Stop deadly germs from circling the globe? In 2019, Loyola launched a new STEAM learning initiative to help Ramblers think more broadly about the complex issues that the world’s citizens will be facing in the years ahead—and give them the skills and tools they’ll need to address some of the most pressing and intractable problems of our time. The initiative began with the opening of a new STEAM lab made possible by a leadership gift from graduate parents Susanne M. and Timothy P. Sullivan; the construction of a

“

STEAM makerspace for communal, hands-on, project-based learning; and the development of Introduction to Engineering Design, a new STEAM elective designed to encourage Ramblers to think like engineers as they develop engineering skills through problembased learning. What exactly is STEAMpowered learning? STEAM takes STEM learning to the next level by adding art to the mix. But the “A” in STEAM goes well beyond the visual and performing arts. Interpreted more broadly, it can include liberal arts subjects such as language arts and social studies, as well as disciplines at the intersection of art and technology, such as architecture, filmmaking and product design.

“STEAM, or cross-disciplinary, learning gives students a more holistic understanding of how the world works,” explains Loyola Academy Principal Charles W. Heintz. “It teaches students how to use the skills and processes gained through the study of science, technology, engineering, the arts and mathematics to think deeply, ask questions and solve complex problems.” In Fiscal 2020, we developed the STEAM courses on the opposite page to open up new opportunities for Ramblers to make connections across disciplines, think critically, work collaboratively, interpret data confidently, communicate effectively and solve problems creatively.

Earth and Space Science In this introduction to the earth systems that shape our daily lives and the science of the larger universe, Ramblers learn about topics such as the geological forces that shape the Earth, global climate change, the life and death of stars, the formation of the solar system and the Big Bang Theory as they collect and analyze data and consider the moral and environmental implications of sustainability and climate change.

Maker Technology This project-based, hands-on course introduces students to the convergence of science, technology and creativity as they develop a working knowledge of the principles and practices of coding, mechanics and electronics; learn how to use solid modeling and 3D printing to create parts for their projects; and use engineering practices to design and build circuits and code microprocessors to create an interactive user experience.

Filmmaking Over the course of a full year, Ramblers learn about the art and science of filmmaking as they delve into the history of filmmaking; learn how to tell stories on film; gain hands-on experience in preproduction, as well as editing, sound mixing and other postproduction tasks; and explore the science that makes nearly every aspect of filmmaking possible—from lighting design and acoustics to film-editing technologies. This collaboration between our fine arts and science departments culminates in a year-end film festival showcasing the cinematic talents of our student filmmakers.

Honors Anatomy and Physiology In this in-depth exploration of the interactions of body systems, Ramblers will investigate the structures and functions of the human body, use models to illustrate body processes, build organs and tissues on a skeletal mannequin and experience science in action as they think like biomedical professionals to work through realworld medical cases.

Introduction to Robotics Robots have become an essential part of 21st-century life, from the robots

working alongside human employees at Amazon warehouses to robotic surgeries in hospitals to the robotic vacuums cleaning our homes. In this hands-on course, Ramblers engage in collaborative, projectbased learning as they learn how to use engineering and other STEAM practices—as well as basic coding skills—to build, control and program their own robots.

Digital Electronics This course—which puts the “T” (technology) in STEAM—familiarizes Ramblers with the fundamental concepts of digital technology and logic that apply to computers, calculators and other digital electronic devices. Students learn about binary number systems, Boolean algebra, logic operations and logic gates—and then use this knowledge to build a progressively more complex series of devices culminating in the design of a single-digit calculator.

Forensic Science Through experiential learning and hands-on investigations, students learn how to secure a crime scene, collect and analyze evidence, compare hair and fibers via microscopy, interpret blood-spatter patterns and formulate conclusions in a written police-report format. Throughout the course, Ramblers review convictions and exonerations involving forensic evidence and reflect on the social-justice impact of forensic science in the criminal justice system. At the end of the semester, our “forensic team” investigates a simulated crime scene.

Biotechnology This laboratory-based course introduces students to geneticbased biotechnology concepts and laboratory skills. Through experiential learning and real, hands-on science, our budding biotechnologists gain an understanding of the content and lab work associated with human genetics, biotechnology and genetic engineering, as well as the bioethical issues raised by cloning, CRISPR, gene therapy, genetic testing, DNA identification and other procedures made possible by 21st-century advances in biotechnology.

Educating Innovation-Ready Ramblers

N HIS BOOK, Creating Innovators: The Making of Young People Who Will Change the World, Learning Policy Institute Senior Research Fellow Tony Wagner states that every high school graduate in the 21st century should be “innovation ready”—prepared “to solve problems creatively or bring new possibilities to life.” “Young people who are intrinsically motivated—curious, persistent and willing to take risks—will learn new knowledge and skills continuously,” writes Wagner. “They will be able to find new opportunities or create their own—a disposition that will be increasingly important as many traditional careers disappear.” The mindset described by Wagner is at the heart of Entrepreneurship, a new social studies course developed in Fiscal 2020. Launched at the start of the 2020–21 academic year, the course examines the crucial role that entrepreneurship plays in creating a healthy economy, with a focus on business innovation, capital formation, business growth, vision and hard work. Guest speakers bring these concepts to life as they share their real-world entrepreneurial experiences, and Ramblers put their knowledge into action as they create business plans for entrepreneurial endeavors inspired by Loyola’s Jesuit values.

Loyola’s HOPE Squad: Reaching out to peers before they reach a breaking point

EVEN OUT OF TEN ADOLESCENTS experiencing depression or suicidal thoughts will confide in a trusted peer before approaching an adult. To help these teens before they reach a breaking point, Loyola Academy and other schools across the country have implemented a nationally recognized suicide prevention program called the HOPE Squad. Loyola was selected to serve as a HOPE Squad school by Elyssa’s Mission, which provides resources to bring suicide prevention education into schools. To prepare for the program’s Spring 2020 launch, our Counseling Help and hope for struggling students: In Spring 2020, Department staff Loyola was one of the first schools in Illinois to implement a participated in an nationally recognized, school-based, peer-to-peer suicide intensive training prevention program called the HOPE Squad. program and then asked students to nominate caring and compassionate Ramblers to be trained as the HOPE Squad’s inaugural members. “HOPE Squad members are nominated by their peers because they are trustworthy, good listeners, easy to talk to and approachable,” explains Counseling Department Chair Sheila Blanchfield. “Since the program’s launch, they have become the eyes and ears of our school. They see things on social media that adults don’t. They see kids eating lunch alone. They are trained to identify students or situations that require adult intervention and seek out the help of a trained HOPE Squad advisor. “Many safeguards are already in place at Loyola Academy to help Ramblers who are struggling emotionally,” she states, “but the HOPE Squad formalizes the process and casts a wider net. It also builds on the innate strengths and values of our students, faculty and staff—and Loyola’s longstanding Jesuit tradition of cura personalis, or care for the whole person.”

A Global Dialogue About Differences

N FEBRUARY 2020, Ramblers in our World Religions course connected with peers as far away as Jordan and Indonesia to engage in a video dialogue about culture, identity, beliefs, values and attitudes. Led by a dialogue facilitator, the international video conference was sponsored by Generation Global—an initiative of the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change—to give young people the skills and experience they need to navigate differences in a peaceful way and flourish in an interconnected world. During the international exchange, Ramblers were encouraged to articulate their views about the complex issues surrounding wealth, poverty, inequality and charity as they encountered and considered the perspectives of teens from other cultures and countries. Although, at first blush, the dialogue may not seem to be directly connected to world religions, Theology teacher Chris Howe points out that it has everything to do with developing a broader understanding of other cultures and belief systems. “Our World Religions course is not principally about what different religions believe or how they pray,” he explains. “The first unit is entitled ‘Dialogue’ because, at its most fundamental level, the course is about how to build relationships based on trust and respect among different peoples.”

Ensuring that every Rambler feels known and loved: Loyola’s leadership team launched a new Confronting Racism initiative in Fiscal 2020 to support diversity, equity and inclusion in our world and in our school community.

Taking Action for Racial Justice

N 2020, AS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT RACE became a national focal point, our leadership team launched Confronting Racism, a comprehensive initiative designed to support diversity, equity and inclusion in our world and in our school community. “In the past several years, we have made significant efforts to challenge and support one another in our mission to be a more inclusive community,” Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ, and Principal Charles W. Heintz wrote in a letter to Loyola families. “With the leadership of a dedicated director of school culture, we have reviewed our curriculum, offered professional development opportunities for faculty and staff and broadened student exposure to important social issues.” With this groundwork in place, Loyola took decisive steps during the fiscal year to address racism, hiring the school’s first director of diversity, equity and inclusion; working with a diversity, equity and inclusion consultant to assist in the development of a multiyear strategic plan for our school; and meeting with students of color to hear about their lived experiences of racism. In June, we launched a number of programs for faculty and staff, including weekly Dialogues on Race, a professional development series entitled Culturally Responsive Pedagogy: Building Community in the Classroom and a book club with selections such as Not Light, But Fire: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Classroom. By Fall 2020, we had created a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee composed of faculty and staff members; launched a Student Diversity Board; formed an Alumni BIPOC Group (Black, Indigenous and People Of Color); established an advisory group of parents and guardians of students of color; and developed a multiyear plan to recruit, hire and support faculty and staff of color. “I’m thankful to all of the faculty, staff and students who have offered constructive pathways forward and ideas and suggestions for how we can become better,” reports Father McGrath. “We are committed as a school to doing the hard work that lies ahead—to becoming a bit more, day by day, the community that God calls us to be.”

“

Conversations about diversity, equity and inclusion must happen here at Loyola Academy. It’s the way that we come to understand each other and grow in greater appreciation of our differences.

N MID-MARCH—WITHIN DAYS OF GOVERNOR PRITZKER’S MANDATE to transition to remote learning as the pandemic hit the Midwest—nearly everything about the way that we approached teaching and learning at Loyola Academy changed. Everything, that is, except our tradition of cura personalis. It’s not easy to humanize learning in a digital format. But—with the combined commitment and expertise of our administrators and faculty— we managed to continue to provide a high-quality, Jesuit, college-preparatory education while preserving our sense of community and connection. Although our classrooms and hallways were uncharacteristically quiet, the Rambler spirit was alive and well in our school community—nourished by the virtual connections between our administrators, faculty, coaches, campus ministers, counselors and students. On any given day in our virtual world, you might find Honors British Literature students analyzing Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; AP Science students studying species interactions; Art History students reviewing their favorite architectural sites from the year; Graphic Design and Honors Studio II Art students creating artwork that expressed their personal experiences of the pandemic; Physical Education students participating in online strength and conditioning, dance and yoga classes; or Guitar Ensemble members conducting remote rehearsals. Meanwhile, the connecting continued after the school day was over as our Office of Student Activities posted a steady stream of social-media offerings— from cooking competitions and virtual talent shows to trivia contests. “The time since mid-March has been unlike anything we have ever known,” Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ, and Principal Charles W. Heintz wrote in a joint letter to Loyola families in May. “We are grateful to all of you for working with us as we moved our teaching and learning online. Our faculty and staff have demonstrated the agility and creativity characteristic of educators in the Jesuit tradition and stepped up to offer cura personalis for our Ramblers.”

A virtual visual feast: Ramblers in our Architecture, Graphic Design, Photography, Studio Art and Art and Social Change courses showcased their creative gifts in our virtual Spring Art and Design Show.

This feedback from a grateful Loyola parent says it all:

A tribute to the heroes on the front lines: Our Honors Orchestra performed “Amazing Grace” to honor the first responders and healthcare professionals risking their lives to care for others during the pandemic.

Life on earth: For an online discussion about species interactions, our AP Biology students chose virtual backgrounds featuring interactions between the species of their choice.

Zooming in on art: Students chose virtual backgrounds featuring their favorite architectural sites for an AP Art History class. “It was a good way to review the works that we’d studied,” says Art History teacher Lesley Shifrin.

Good for the mind and body: The Girls’ Soccer Program offered online yoga to counter the stress of the pandemic and keep team members connected while apart.

“

Your e-learning has been nothing short of awesome. Our kids feel connected, informed, motivated, educated and totally supported. The teachers are super creative, and they have done an amazing pivot to be able to shift without a hiccup into e-teaching. It’s truly been impressive to watch. Based on what I’m seeing and hearing from my friends with kids at other schools, Loyola is absolutely leadingedge and world-class. We love the daily Examen, and the thoughtful and fun approach that the teachers are taking. I love everything about this—other than what prompted e-learning! Our entire family is so grateful to Loyola.

CELEBRATING THE CLASS OF 2020

A Reimagined Rite of Passage

T TAKES A LOT TO DAMPEN THE RAMBLER SPIRIT, so it was no surprise that the members of our Class of 2020 were in a celebratory mood as they returned to campus for our 110th Commencement Exercises on July 31—the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola. Although this was the first year in Loyola history that our graduates wore masks with their white jackets and dresses and collected their diplomas in small, socially distanced groups, it was a day filled with faith, hope and

celebration. Class Valedictorian Marie C. Tagliavia ’20 shared a moving video reflection that opened with an acknowledgement of the global pandemic that had brought their Rambler days on campus to an abrupt end and closed with a message of gratitude for what remains: “Sometimes that last real day at school isn’t filled with the festivities that should come after four years of pushing yourself to new heights, expanding your mind and trying new experiences….But what are we going to focus on? We must choose to remember that every

single moment is a gift, and we must never take for granted the excitement of a homecoming football game in the stadium, the pleasant surprise of a bake sale in the Piazza or the warmth of a friend’s smile in the hall. I choose to remember our first few years at Loyola as an unforgettable experience that I will always treasure. So I ask you now and in the years to come, when darkness overwhelms your life, will you stumble around in the night or will you choose to look up and admire the stars?”

Safely celebrating the achievements of the Class of 2020: The masked members of our Class of 2020 reunited in July to celebrate their accomplishments and begin a new chapter as women and men for others committed to using their gifts and talents in service to the world.

Delivering Smiles to Every Doorstep

This sentiment was nearly universal during the last few months of the academic year as our school community weathered the first wave of the coronavirus pandemic Graduation messages by “going virtual” with virtually every written to the 466 aspect of Loyola life. members of our Class of But Spring 2020 was an especially 2020 by Loyola faculty, poignant time for the members of our coaches, administrators Class of 2020, who missed out on Senior and staff Prom, Senior Olympics and many other milestones that traditionally mark the end of the Rambler journey. To lift their spirits, Director of Student Activities Melissa Krein coordinated a massive effort to deliver “senior care packages” to the door of every graduating Rambler. “We felt that it was important to honor the Class of 2020 and let our graduates know how much they will be missed,” says Krein, who recruited a volunteer team of parents, faculty and staff to personally deliver the care packages to 466 different Rambler residences in a single day. The surprise visits—and the care packages overflowing with Class of 2020 yard signs, t-shirts and face masks; St. Ignatius medals; daily Examen cards; composite class photos; notes from Father McGrath and Principal Heintz; and letters that the students had written to their “future selves” as freshmen—elicited huge smiles from our seniors and expressions of gratitude from their families. “My son is a quiet kid,” reported one parent, “but he was really moved—and he thoughtfully reflected on the special feeling of community and care that is Loyola.” “There are not enough words to thank you for your help in making the seniors feel so special today with the gifts and the yard signs,” said another. “What an incredible community we all belong to!”

LIFE AFTER THE BELL

New on the Cocurricular Menu

ACH YEAR, OUR COCURRICULAR OFFERINGS ARE DRIVEN BY RAMBLERS’ PASSIONS, TALENTS AND INTERESTS. In September 2019, we hosted our annual Cocurricular Fair to introduce students to one of the most comprehensive Jesuit cocurricular programs in the nation and encourage them to suggest new avenues for growth and exploration. After the fair, our students formed the following special-interest clubs to expand their horizons while making new friends and having fun:

Badminton Club—A club for aficionados of the “world’s fastest racquet sport” Card Club—A community of card lovers who gather weekly to play cards and discuss game strategies Italian-American Group—A club dedicated to the celebration of Italian- American culture Irish Heritage Club—A club for all students interested in learning about

Irish culture, language and dance Medical Club—A club for Ramblers interested in learning about career opportunities in the medical field Plant-Based LA—Created for students interested in learning more about the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle Spikeball Club—A group of spikeball enthusiasts who get together for highenergy exercise and fun

TED Talk Club—A forum for students to discover, explore and present their “big ideas” in the form of short, TED-style talks Women Leaders of Loyola—A club with a mission to inspire and empower women to take on leadership roles in school and society Yarn-Bombing Club—A group of nimble-fingered yarn artists with a desire to create colorful crocheted and knitted street art

Celebrating our shared traditions: For hundreds of Ramblers, the cultural heritage clubs at Loyola Academy are like a second family—mini-communities where they can celebrate their own cultural traditions and learn about the cultures of their classmates and friends. In February, the members of our heritage clubs showcased their cultural traditions with music, dance and poetry performances; a fashion show; and traditional cuisines from around the world at International Night 2020.

A Triumphant Season for Rambler Aquatics

HE FIRST SEASON in our spectacular John D. Norcross ’54 Aquatic Center was a heady one as our Boys’ Swimming and Diving Team engaged in the unfettered pursuit of aquatic excellence. Was it the Loyola community’s collective investment in a 21st-century, state-ofthe-art natatorium that inspired our Boys’ Swimming and Diving Team to deliver its best season finish in more than 30 years? We’ll never know for sure, but the results speak for themselves. At the 2020 IHSA State Championship Swim Meet in February, our Boys’ Swimming and Diving Team set one state record and seven school records, won two individual state championships and one relay state championship, celebrated a 1-2 finish in the 500 free and took home a second-place team trophy—our first Boys’ Swimming and Diving state trophy since 1989. Congratulations to Luke Maurer ’20, who took home the Illinois High School Swimmer of the Year Award for 2020. Luke is only the second member of the Loyola Boys’ Swimming and Diving Team to achieve this distinction. Interestingly, the first was Erik Maurer ’89—Luke’s dad. “It was really a remarkable season,” says Head Swimming and Diving Coach Mike Hengelmann ’00, who was named Illinois High School Coach of the Year. “The most memorable moment from the state weekend was capturing the second-place team trophy overall. It was our highest finish in over 30 years, and it was something that the team was really motivated to achieve. I want to give a sincere thanks to all of the Loyola supporters, including many of our aquatic program alumni, who made our magnificent new aquatic center—and this historic season—possible.”

Record-breaking Ramblers: The Boys’ Swimming and Diving Team set eight records, won two individual state championships and took home the team’s first state trophy since 1989.

LIVING THE LOYOLA MISSION

Stopping Hate Speech in its Tracks

“T

ONIGHT, LORD, WE GATHER TO REMEMBER THAT WORDS MATTER. For we know that words can spew hatred and lies and can divide society, slander and hurt. But we also remember your words to us. Words that console us in trial, words that challenge us to love one another, words that assure us of your forgiveness. Let us always remember those words and make your words our own. Bridge the divide within our world, our country, our families. Bridge it with your words so that, together, we may realize that we have a common heritage as the people you have called into this world.” With this prayer, Cardinal Blase J. Cupich, Archbishop of Chicago, set the tone for Words Matter—an interfaith dialogue between Cupich and Holocaust survivor Fritzie Never forget, never again: Holocaust Survivor Fritzie Fritzshall and Cardinal Cupich toured Auschwitz in July and reunited at Loyola Academy Fritzshall, president of the Illinois Holocaust in November for Words Matter, an interfaith dialogue about the Museum and Education Center. hate speech that gave rise to the Holocaust and continues to fuel Although more than 800 people attended antisemitism, racism and xenophobia in the world today. the November 2019 event hosted by Loyola Academy, you could have heard a pin drop in the packed West Gym as the two friends resumed a conversation that had started months earlier at Auschwitz. During their tour of the Nazi concentration camp in July—documented by Chicago ABC7 news anchor Alan Krashesky to share the lessons of history with new generations—Fritzshall had asked the Cardinal if he could explain, as “a man of God,” how such things could happen. At the time, the Cardinal had no answers. But, upon his return to Chicago, he searched deep in his soul for a response worthy of Fritzshall’s question. “I reflected on it, and there is an answer,” he told the audience as he reunited with Fritzshall and Krashesky for the Words Matter event in November. “It happens in the human heart when we begin to criticize people and marginalize them,” said Cupich. “We have to stop hate speech in its tracks, lest it begins to define people as ‘other’—and that other becomes the enemy we have to get rid of. There is a trajectory to those words that we can’t ignore.”

Ramblers Rally to Address Pandemic-Related Food Shortages

HEN THE NUMBER of individuals and families in need of groceries at Catholic Charities’ Des Plaines food pantry nearly doubled in May, Nicole Cleland ’21 (right in photo) and Betsy Regan ’21 (left in photo) organized a food drive for the pantry, leading the Loyola community in an effort to collect and deliver more than 500 bags of groceries and raising an additional $560 through an Instagram appeal to feed more than 250 hungry families.

Building a Virtual Faith Community

HILE MEMBERS OF THE LOYOLA COMMUNITY LED SOCIALLY DISTANCED LIVES during the pandemic, Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ, and our Mission and Ministry team reached out to keep the Loyola community connected to God and one another in the following ways: Father McGrath’s Virtual Masses were live streamed every weekday at 8 a.m. and shared via an online resource page that averaged 800 visits a day. Members of the Loyola community were encouraged to pray our Virtual Rosary—offered through Zoom on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays—and to trust the rhythm of this beautiful prayer to lead them into deeper reflection during difficult times. While we were unable to gather together in prayer, community members were invited to share their virtual prayer intentions for our faith community. The more musical among us joined Campus Minister Mike Gregg on Facebook Live and Instagram Live for a Prayerful Music Sing-Along on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Our weekly Food for Thought email delivered a short reflection, story, prayer or quote—as well as questions to ponder in the week to come—to inboxes every Sunday. Campus Minister Alex Lupo hosted virtual Ignatian yoga lessons once a week.

In June 2020, as activists from coast to coast protested the lethal and persistent injustice experienced by people of color, Fr. McGrath presided over a Virtual Mass for Peace and Justice. “The killing of George Floyd on May 25 has evoked outrage in all people of goodwill,” he reflected. “But Mr. Floyd’s death is just the most recent example of the sin of racism that continues to fester in our country. We have to do better. We pray today for the grace to do the difficult work of building kinship and community in a divided nation.”

A Virtual Visit to the U.S-Mexico Border

VERY SUMMER, Ramblers head south to the U.S.-Mexico border to learn about the plight of migrants fleeing poverty, violence and persecution; serve migrants in need; and advocate for more humane, just and workable migration policies. But, as Summer 2020 approached, it seemed that this annual service and immersion experience with the Kino Border Initiative would become yet another casualty of COVID-19. Then Caroline Browne ’21 approached Campus Minister Lyle Baier with a suggestion: Why not reimagine the Kino trip as a virtual experience for a world in the grip of a global pandemic? Baier conveyed Browne’s request to the educators at the Kino Border Initiative, who enthusiastically embraced the idea. By the end of May, 10 rising seniors had embarked on the Kino experience, which included a Zoom orientation session; discussions and reflections; a virtual tour of a soup kitchen in Nogales, Mexico; and a virtual desert walk featuring personal items left behind by migrants making the treacherous passage to the U.S. border. For Browne, the most powerful part of the week was the opportunity to speak with migrants and hear their firsthand accounts of the immigration experience. “These were real people—not statistics, numbers or measures,” she reflected, “and they had important stories to tell.”

FOSTERING COMMUNITY

Tapping into the Loyola Network

OW DO YOU TRANSFORM a simple sketch into a multimillion-dollar, multi-use building? What’s it like to work at the first-ever translational research hospital, where clinicians, scientists, innovators and technologists are translating science-driven breakthroughs into cutting-edge physical medicine and rehabilitation? Thanks to our new Grad After Grad Internship Initiative, six rising juniors and seniors gained invaluable insights into these and other fields of interest as they completed internships with Joe Flanagan ’82 and Louis Morici ’10 at Acquirent, Ryan O’Donnell ’95 at Ballyhoo Hospitality, Erin Casey Wolf ’98 at Bella Bridesmaids, Dan Valenti ’01 at Valenti Builders, Amy and Ryan Devore at William Blair Global Investment Banking & Asset Management and Loyola Academy Board Chair Nancy Paridy at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. Six additional students will complete their internships when pandemic-related restrictions are no longer in place. “We piloted this program to introduce Ramblers to mentors in their fields of interest, help them gain competence and confidence in the workplace and teach them skills that will support their college and career goals,” says Vice President of Alumni and Network Engagement Marty Jennings ’98. “We hope to expand the initiative in the coming year so that we can provide more formational professional experiences for Loyola students, as well as college-level alumni, through this collaboration with our great Loyola Academy network.”

Interviewing for internships: In Spring 2020, interested Ramblers submitted applications for Grad After Grad internships. Twenty-five made it to the Zoom interview stage (above) and 12 were granted internships.

Wintrust Whiz Kids

OW DO YOU START A START-UP? Create a business plan? Give a 30-second pitch? More than 30 Ramblers got answers to these questions and more as they participated in the Wintrust Banking Academy, a weeklong virtual pilot program in June. Made possible by an educational collaboration between Loyola Academy and Wintrust founder and CEO Edward J. Wehmer ’72 (above) and Senior Vice President and Head of Retail Kathleen Gallagher, Wintrust Banking Academy was launched in Summer 2020 to introduce Ramblers to business and entrepreneurial concepts, teach them the basics of financial literacy and provide mentoring opportunities with members of the Loyola network. Each morning, our students met virtually with speakers from the Loyola community, including Wintrust Ventures Loan Officer Connor Detjen ’06, Wintrust Mortgage Branch Manager George Kaiser ’78 and two Loyola parents: Wintrust Bank President Doug Boersma and Wintrust Wealth Management Chairman and CEO Tom Zidar. “We were thrilled to bring this experience to our students and connect them with industry leaders at Wintrust,” says Vice President of Alumni and Network Engagement Marty Jennings ’98. ”We are grateful to our friends at Wintrust Community Banks for making this pilot program possible amid the challenges of a pandemic.”

Delivering Food and Gratitude During Holy Week

S WE HEADED INTO THE HOLIEST WEEK OF THE YEAR in the midst of a global pandemic, the members of our President’s Leadership Council (PLC) served up some much-needed sustenance for Chicago-area residents in need. Inspired by a video message shared on social media by Loyola Trustee and PLC Board Chair Saly Sebastian ’06, our alumni contributed more than $6,000 to the PLC’s COVID-19 Support Initiative. Their contributions covered the cost of food for Loyola families experiencing financial hardship during the pandemic, as well as meals for Chicago-area first responders and essential employees working long hours on the front lines to keep critical services running and communities safe. Michael A. Salvatore ’99, owner of Heritage Bicycles, Chicago’s original bike café, and Pat Fowler ’03, owner of Candlelite Chicago and Firehouse Grill, joined in the effort, delivering coffee, donuts and pizza to Chicago-area police stations, as well as piping-hot pizza lunches and dinners to the health care workers at the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab. As they catered to the hungry ranks of frontline workers, Salvatore and Fowler kept things light with a steady stream of good-natured banter, encouragement and expressions of gratitude. “Our President’s Leadership Council Executive Board was excited to lead this initiative,” says Sebastian. “The outpouring of support from our alumni community enabled us to surpass our fundraising goal in just a few short days. We are so grateful to the Loyola Academy family—and we have never been more proud to be Ramblers!”

Insights into the Life of a College Creative

N JANUARY 2020, five alumni studying at Columbia College, the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Parsons School of Design and New York University returned to Loyola to share their college experiences in the arts. Their presentations—which covered creative pursuits such as film, video, specialeffects makeup, animation, web design, graphic design and illustration—opened windows onto a wide variety of college majors and career paths for Ramblers with an interest in the arts.

A Quarter Century of Golfing for Good

OYOLA ACADEMY ALUMNI, parents and friends gathered on the green at North Shore Country Club (NSCC) to catch up with old friends, engage in some friendly competition and celebrate a quarter century of golfing for others at our 25th annual Ramblers Golf Outing. Thanks to hosts Reb Banas ’81 and NSCC members—as well as our sponsors, raffle prize donors and golfers— the September 2019 event raised a full year’s tuition for one Rambler.

HANKS TO THE GENEROSITY OF THE 41 BENEFACTORS who contributed $635,000 to our Turf and Athletic Enhancements Initiative, we were able to replace the synthetic turf on Hoerster Field, which was worn out and compacted after 11 years of heavy use. The new turf, which is the thickest available, is fortified by a shock pad designed to absorb the force of an impact and protect our players against injury. Next up: Our Advancement and Athletic Offices are now teaming up to raise an additional $670,000 for replacement turf on two of the fields at our Munz Campus in Glenview.
