A MESSAGE FROM

the President

Lord our God...You sent us your Son to teach by words and example that true wisdom comes from you alone. Send your spirit upon these sons of Loyola and fill them with your wisdom and blessings. Grant that they may devote themselves to You, and share what they have learned. Grant this through Christ our Lord.

- Adapted from the Roman Ritual’s Book of Blessings

Near the conclusion of the Baccalaureate Mass, the text above was the blessing I used for the Class of 2024. In full disclosure, I was grateful we had made it to that point in the liturgy, as I began that Mass with some trepidation. I’m used to public speaking, and I’ve certainly addressed large crowds before; it doesn’t usually faze me. But I can’t remember the last time I was the principal celebrant for a Mass

with that many people. As I climbed the steps to the high sanctuary, reverenced the altar, and turned around, I admit to having a racing heart and a dry mouth. The Cathedral of Mary Our Queen, dedicated in 1959, was built to seat 1,900 people. I can’t be certain that many were there on June 1st for the vigil of Corpus Christi, but it certainly felt that way to me. And if there were, would it surprise anyone? People have been telling me for the past few months how immense Loyola’s impact is on our local community, and I’ve been able to see that play out in a myriad of ways since I was named President. But the fullness of that impact probably didn’t hit with full force until the Baccalaureate Mass with so many people in attendance.

To be able to impart that blessing meant a great deal to me, because contained within it, is all I hope for a graduate of our school: That he knows all he has been given—including his intelligence—is from God alone, that God will continue to make him wise, and that he will dedicate himself to serving God by serving others. I think those are things that Saint Ignatius would want, as well. Any graduate of our school who takes those things to heart—at any point in his life—is someone of whom we can be proud.

I know Pride is one of the seven deadly sins, but I hope that definition only points to hubris, instead of the well-earned joy we feel when something or someone with whom we’re involved fills us with that (hopefully) familiar feeling. I could write many more words about how proud I was of our young men, their families, our faculty and staff, and our administration that night in the Cathedral. But these will have to do.

I hope these summer months are kind to you and your family. No matter what your summer plans are, know that you are in our prayers and that Loyola Blakefield is your home for all seasons. We’d love to see you!

A.M.D.G.

Asher Davis ’24 delivered welcome remarks while Declan Bell ’24 (SGA President) provided the Commencement Address. Thanks to all those who joined us for this joyous and prayerful occasion!

ASHER DAVIS CONFIDENTLY DELIVERS THE WELCOME ADDRESS OF THE 172ND COMMENCEMENT.

LOYOLA, TO ME, IS LIKE THE RAIN.

I think about each day at Loyola like a rain drop. For some days, you can remember exactly what they felt like, see them crystal clear in your mind. For others, they simply bounce off, just another day of many. But when we look back on our time here, they’ll all run together, like rain drops in a storm. Some were soft and light, and rolled smooth down on our skin. Others pelted us cold and hard, and stung a little. But each one was just as important as the others.

DAVIS ’24 | WELCOME ADDRESS

NO ONE HAS EVER SAID THAT CHANGE WOULD BE EASY.

No one has ever told us that change would come without sacrifice. As graduates of Loyola Blakefield, we know to grasp change and to march forward with the values that have been engrained in us. We must meet our responsibilities as Ignatius did and give of ourselves to the wider world — to be men with and for others. As we reflect upon our journeys here at Loyola Blakefield, let us not take our time for granted.” —DECLAN BELL ’24 | COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS

Q&A

AT THE CONCLUSION of the academic year and in the wake of our 172nd Commencement, we caught up with Fr. Dennis Baker, S.J. to discuss a variety of topics related to his first six months as President, including early impressions of the Baltimore region, his passion to bring joy to liturgical and prayer life, and big-picture goals for the upcoming school year and beyond.

You arrived in Baltimore in November and have now been living here full time for almost eight months. What are some of your early impressions of the region?

It’s funny; I get this question often and my common reply is that I haven’t really seen much of it so far. Given my commute from the Jesuit Residence at Loyola University to Blakefield, I’ve gotten to know Charles Steet really well, though! I’m still eager to see more, so

maybe I’ll carve out some time to visit art museums, or Fort McHenry, which I know is a highlight. I also want to go crabbing and pick some crabs. I’m fortunate to have seen a lot of Camden Yards from a fan’s perspective, and a bit of an insider’s view: I’ve been celebrating Sunday Mass in the clubhouse this season before the Sunday games. After Mass, I put my stuff in the umpire’s room. This is all before the gates are open to the public. I walk through the tunnel right behind home plate and sit in the dugout for a little while. It is a beautiful park. The people there are fantastic, the ballpark is great, and I love those uniforms. But as a lifelong fan of another AL East team, I’m not exactly there to root for a win.

*Editor’s note: Fr. Baker is smiling but he’s not joking. Let the conversion commence!

How about early impressions of the Loyola Blakefield community?

I feel like I’ve worked here for a decade. When I say that to people, their eyes kind of bug out and they’re like, “It’s that bad?” I say, “No, it’s that great. It feels like an old pair of shoes.” And I think that comes from the fact that this is a healthy Jesuit school and I know what that looks and feels like. When I go to different Jesuit schools all over the country, even all over the world, they have a similar feel to them. It started from when I visited for my interview. I was taking a tour on a beautiful September day, and I just said, “This feels like home.” And it doesn’t feel like home because of

where it is geographically. I’ve never lived in Maryland before. It feels like home because it’s a healthy, thriving Jesuit school. The types of people who work here, the types of kids who go here, the types of families that sacrifice to send their kids to a Jesuit school, it’s all very familiar and I feel like that has been a true grace. That’s why I’ve felt so comfortable.

As you look back on the past several months, are there a few events or encounters that you could count as among the most rewarding?

It’s mostly been all about the people —getting to know the faculty and staff, the students, and the many people who make this place so special. I was lucky to get to know some of the guys from the Class of 2024 really well and just greeting the guys they arrive in the morning

is such a joy. I’ve also been meeting one-on-one with faculty and staff members. Listening to the way people talk about their vocation and commitment to this work is so heartwarming. It’s flattering to know that people would share that stuff so quickly with me—someone whom they don’t know very well. It’s been very powerful. I also have to say that learning about lacrosse has been a lot of fun. Parents have been especially patient with my questions and curiosities: from why some players have a longer stick than others, to what specific calls are made by officials and why. That’s just been a lot of fun for me. It’s a cool game.

Other highlights would be the Baccalaureate Mass and the chance to preach about the purpose of what we do: that God must be at the center of everything here. That’s

a real honor and a responsibility I take very seriously. To celebrate Mass like that in the Cathedral was an incredible experience. I can’t remember the last time I said Mass with that many people. And, of course, being part of graduation was very moving. I’ve heard all about The Hollow and how sacred that space is relative to graduation. The chance to be there and hand those guys their awards and their diplomas was very powerful.

Lastly, it’s become routine, but something else that I’ve really come to look forward to is daily Mass in the Chapel each morning. There’s a crew of 10 or 12 of us that are in there every morning and it’s just a great way to begin the school day. And we do it all the time, so it’s not like this big grand thing, but to be a priest at this school and to celebrate the Eucharist to begin my workday means a lot to me. Over the summer, we moved Mass to noon, and that’s had a pretty consistent crowd, too.

Some people have begun calling it “Church Camp,” as a funny take on all the other summer camps we have going on.

The 2024-25 school year will be your first full year at Loyola. Looking ahead, what’s on your mind in terms of goals and priorities?

For starters, I want to ensure that I’m the type of school leader that people can go to for anything. And since I started mid-year, I’m looking forward to the various beginnings that a new school year brings— orientations, first day back, Mass of the Holy Spirit and all the rhythms of a new year. In the longer term, I want to collaborate with members of the leadership team and Board of Trustees to make sure we continue to focus on access, affordability, and sustainability. We need to look ahead to our next major campaign and explore how we can give the endowment the attention it requires.

FR. BAKER WITH ARCHBISHOP LORI AT HIS RESIDENCE IN NOVEMBER, 2023.

Aside from your daily work on campus, how else have you been active within the Archdiocese of Baltimore?

One of the first meetings I had when I arrived in Baltimore was with Archbishop Lori. In addition to sharing my desire to serve more broadly beyond our campus, I knelt before him and asked him for his blessing. He gave it to me readily. It is really important to me that we continue to focus on the fact that we are an arm of the Catholic Church. I also think the relationship between Loyola and the Archdiocese is one that should be nurtured and celebrated. Archbishop Lori wrote to me after I was named president and I have it framed and displayed in my office. I’m continually moved by the words he wrote and I’m grateful to

have been so welcomed by him and others in the Archdiocese.

I’m also a weekly celebrant at Immaculate Heart of Mary, which I look forward to every week—from preparing a homily to simply being with the parishioners. In many ways, it reminds me of the parish I grew up in: It’s a place filled with regular people. The people are wonderful, their responses are loud and enthusiastic, and the music is excellent. It’s also a place I can go and say Mass and not be in charge. If something isn’t working, I get to point them in the direction of someone else for a change! On a more serious note, ministering there has been incredibly rewarding. Hearing confessions is an honor, and witnessing how committed and holy that parish is has been amazing. Then there is the fun we have over the fact that the parish is filled with families who send their kids to our rivals to the east. I often look out into this sea of red in the pews, so it was great on St. Patrick’s Day when everyone was wearing green. I said, “This is a nice change.”

Plenty of people see you at work each day, attending campus events, and going about your day. What some may not know is that you are here at sunrise to work out every morning.

Exercise has always been part of my life, but when I was in the Pacific Islands, it was easy. At night, I would work out all the time after I proctored study hall and had the campus somewhat to myself. But then I would go on the road for five

weeks and the routine would fall apart. When I was in Africa last year doing the full Spiritual Exercises for the second time, God was clearly telling me that I was not doing enough to take care of my health. You think about all the ways you can be a better person, priest, or friend, and how many people are counting on you. So, riding the Peloton or doing other stuff are partly my ways of ensuring that I’m answering the call to take good care of myself so that I can serve others to the best of my abilities.

Maybe it’s the Jesuit discipline, but for me, the only way to be consistent is to make sure it’s a daily commitment and among my first priorities, which is why I’m here by 5:30 or 5:45. Now that the weather is nice, I’ve been commuting by bike up Charles Street, too. And I get a later start in the summer—more like 7:00. I spend most of my day thinking about Loyola and the people that are part of this community. Loyola on my mind is how I begin and end the day—in addition to everything I’m focused on in between. So, the exercise routine is the chance to clear my mind a bit and I find it helpful on many levels.

Tell us about some of your plans for this summer.

One of the priorities was to devote time to meeting with faculty and staff individually. It’s a pledge I made when I interviewed for this job, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed spending time with people in this way.

I also had a great trip to California to see alumni there and hold a gathering in San Francisco. There was another trip to Denver, so getting out and meeting folks has already been great. I’m also going to join colleagues from Loyola on the Ignatian Pilgrimage in Europe. I’ll be linking up with them on the Roman part of the journey and look forward to sharing the experience with everyone. While I’m over there, I’ll take time for my annual retreat at the Canisio in Rome.

This summer will mark 20 years since I joined the Society of Jesus. I’m just filled with such gratitude to be where I am right now. It’s very flattering to lead this school community--not simply as an administrator, but as a priest. Sometimes as I get vested for Mass, I look in the mirror and I say to myself, “This is wild. It’s crazy.” It’s so rewarding and so much fun at the same time. It’s a great life.

Before Jerry Roe arrived at Loyola Blakefield in the fall of 1983, the Eastern Shore native originally crossed the Bay Bridge to study at Towson University. “I was majoring in business administration,” said Roe. “I’m not sure how that happened, but at the time it was what I was advised to do.” That pursuit was shortlived, as Roe soon discovered his true passion: “I became an art major and was in heaven. I knew that’s what I wanted to do.”

In addition to his craft spanning from clay to canvas, Roe discovered an endless curiosity for art history and delved into a variety of courses. As an artist, he focused on ceramics, taking on a role at the university firing kilns, mixing clay, and collaborating with other artists upon his graduation. “There was this group of us who were all recent graduates trying to figure out what we wanted to do,” said Roe. “Eventually we bought some space, which was a former Enoch Pratt library, and founded Baltimore Clayworks together.”

Together with his founding partners, Roe worked as a potter and taught workshops. His path to a career in teaching was paved by a simple index card that had been posted to a bulletin board at his studio. It advertised a local all-boys school seeking a ceramics teacher. The rest is art (and Loyola) history.

Roe had already done some teaching at local community colleges as an adjunct instructor and was eager to kickstart a new career. He

little bit of everything about the world. Art is a visual record of who we are, our culture, and our values. We read books for the same reason and art can be just as powerful since it traces so far back in our recorded history.”

“Art is a visual record of who we are, our culture, and our values. We read books for the same reason and art can be just as powerful since it traces so far back in our recorded history.”

Roe notes that when you spend enough years at a school, a few things start to happen. First, you see former students come back as colleagues, then you encounter graduates who are now sending their kids to Loyola. “One of the greatest things that happens is seeing the guys return and how they’ve grown. Those relationships evolve in a beautiful way. One of my favorite moments was when Brian Maraña ’00 (current Upper School Principal) showed me that he still had his notebook from when he took my class.”

Before the first day of classes, Roe had an opportunity to meet his colleagues. He recalls stepping into the Sheridan Hall annex and encountering the group—a trio who could easily be part of a Blakefield Mt. Rushmore of art educators—for the first time: Michael Iampieri, Frank Rehak, and Steve Kucharski.

Roe admittedly knew nothing about Loyola, the Jesuits, or the all-boys private school network in Baltimore. So, on his first day of teaching he stepped into the classroom in jeans and a polo shirt. Michael Iampieri gently pulled him aside to note that jacket and tie were the standard for male teachers. “Nobody bothered to tell me before I started,” said Roe. “My first thought was how do I teach ceramics in a jacket and tie?”

After 40 years of teaching at Loyola, Roe reflects on the important role that artistic pursuits play in the formation of young people. “The whole idea of a wellrounded education is to become a more cultured and learned person,” said Roe. “This means knowing a

When asked what keeps his joy for teaching and art so vivacious after all these years, Roe shared that it begins with a relationship to the material. “It helps if you are deeply passionate about your subject matter,” said Roe. “I just love art history and can talk about it all day. From there, you begin to see the power of the connections you can make with students through the material. Once that happens, you become engrossed in where passion and learning intersect.”

With his retirement in focus, Roe ponders the many ways he will spend his newfound free time. “First of all, my wife Sabine and I live in a 100-year-old house, so I’ll be busy doing some things at the house,” said Roe. He mentions that he enjoys the work with his hands, even if it takes him away from the pottery wheel. “I think I got it

“I’ve felt at home since I got here, and I’ve made lifelong friends along the way.”

from my dad and grandfather,” said Roe. The latter was a waterman and boat builder on the Eastern Shore and Roe spent countless days at his boat house as a child. It’s a place he has visited throughout his life—one that he describes as “an 80-year-old time capsule” that still holds the familiar scent of sawdust.

Roe also has plenty of travel plans in mind. Having spent time traveling many parts of Europe and making multiple domestic cross-country trips (including three months in a Volkswagen bus), he still has his sights set on seeing more of the American Southwest. He is also the proud owner of a fully restored 1967 21-Window Deluxe and 1960 Single Cab. “I’ve never owned anything but VWs,” said Roe. “I like to drive them around when I can and enjoy meeting up with other members of the VW community.”

While thinking about his final school year at Loyola, Roe was asked what his legacy might be. “I hope I’ll be remembered as someone who cared about teaching and cared for the boys,” said Roe. “I never imagined that I would spend 40 years in one place, but this is such an incredibly special community. I’ve felt at home since I got here, and I’ve made lifelong friends along the way.”

Roe remains grateful for the relationships he has formed at Loyola, especially those that encouraged his teaching career early on. “Michael Iampieri was a major influence on me,” said Roe. “His knowledge and ability to care for his students was always inspiring. I also appreciated the

JERRY’S 1967 21-WINDOW DELUXE AND 1960 SINGLE CAB.

support that Dr. Donald Urbancic provided. It was a simple as him believing in me and that made an enormous difference for me as I transitioned to become a department chair.”

In addition to those with Iamperi and early art department colleagues, Roe reflected fondly on a few important relationships from his time at Loyola. One is with John Weetenkamp ’65 who he cites as “the ultimate Don.” Another is his close friendship with Ginny Petr, our current Visual Arts Department Chair and his longtime colleague. “Ginny has been a great example for me as someone who brings so much care to her work and for her students,” said Roe. “She inspires me every day and the kids love her.”

Working with Jerry for 21 years has been such a pleasure. Although our aesthetics differ, it has been wonderful to share our passion for teaching and developing the students’ awareness of art in the world around them. Jerry has been my mentor and dear friend through these 21 years. He taught the History of Art to my four sons, as he did so many young men, sharing his stories of travel and immersing them in a world of art through the ages. Frequent encounters with students he has taught disclose the depth of his impact on the lives of those he has not only taught but befriended over the years. His presence at Loyola will be missed but not forgotten.

Given the immeasurable amount of time Roe has spent with high school students over the years, he has gained some perspective that he’d like to share with them as they embark on their educational journeys that won’t include Blakefield as part of their daily lives.

“I hope they know what they have in this place and in the people here,” said Roe. “It can be a hard thing to appreciate while you are in the midst of it, so I hope they look upon the time they have here at Loyola fondly and cherish it for the great gift that it is—not just for the education but for the community of care that it is.”

If you are driving through the Lake Walker neighborhood in Baltimore and see him tending to his home, or if you spot a 1967 VW bus cruising around town, give Mr. Roe a wave. Above all, join us in thanking him for sharing his gifts and passions so generously with us for 40 years.

AMONG THE MANY WAYS ROE’S CAREER AT LOYOLA WILL BE REMEMBERED IS THROUGH THE NAMING OF THE ART ROOM IN ST. IGNATIUS HALL. WHEN THE BUILDING OPENED IN 2021, THE SPACE WAS NAMED IN HONOR OF HIM AND MICHAEL IAMPIERI.

“As someone with limited ability in the arts, I found Jerry Roe’s History of Art class to be among my most impactful educational experiences. Because of his class, I gained not only a sense of cultural literacy but also a desire to see the world through different perspectives. It was a delight to return to Loyola 15 years later and become Jerry’s colleague. It gave me a chance to see beyond his prodigious knowledge and witness how thoughtful, caring, and committed Jerry is as an educator and friend. While it was a privilege to have been taught by him as my teacher, it has been an honor to serve alongside him as a colleague.”

Peer Education Celebrates 30 Years of Mentorship & Service

On Saturday, May 18th, members of the Loyola Blakefield community gathered to celebrate the 30-year legacy of the Peer Education program. Among the attendees were those who have nurtured the game over the years, including Dick Prodey ’57, Kathy Mathias, Brennan Prodey ’82, and Brett Lankford. Also in attendance were current and past members of the program, including two of the original nine members. As the program reaches this milestone we reflect on its history, impact, and evolution.

In 1992, tragedy struck the O’Neil family when their 17-year-old son, Christopher ’93, was killed in an automobile accident involving a teenage drunk driver. To honor his memory, Pam and Tom O’Neil established the Christopher O’Neil Memorial Fund, dedicated to supporting programs that promote successful teen development. Collaborating with Dr. Charles Deutsch from the HWarvard School of Public Health, the family set out to create peer education programs in Baltimore area independent schools.

A year later, in June 1993, the O’Neil family invited Loyola to pioneer a program designed to foster sound decision-making and good health, tailored specifically for Loyola’s student body. Through their generous support, Peer Education at Loyola was born.

Loyola’s counselors had already been tasking seniors to assist in teaching a health education guidance class for several years. Building on this foundation, the Peer Education program officially launched in January 1994. Three Loyola students—two juniors and a sophomore—entered a sixthgrade classroom and posed the question, “How many of you know what alcohol really is?” Only a few hands went up. Since that day, peer educators have been a vital presence in Baltimore area independent schools.

Dick Prodey played a critical role in designing the program and ensuring that it evolved to the shifting needs of students over the years. “We knew that kids respond better when information is brought to them by their peers and they are able to interact rather than having an adult deliver a didactic lesson,” said Prodey. “We also designed it to engage kids beyond the cognitive level of what they think and feel and focused on how they would act in situations.”

In the early years of the program, the adult and student leaders collaborated on topics, many of which came directly from student observations as to what impacted their peers the most. Prodey also noted the importance of forming the right student and teacher team. “It was important to make sure that the student teams included a variety of students,” said Prodey. “We had athletes, artists, debaters, and kids who represented the diversity of

EVERYTHING CENTERS ON TRUST. THE STUDENT TEAMS TRUST THE FACULTY, THEIR PEERS TRUST THEM TO DELIVER LESSONS THAT MATTER, AND THE PROGRAM FLOURISHES BECAUSE OF THE AUTHENTICITY THAT TRUST ENSURES.

our student body. This guaranteed that the boys could see themselves in the presenters.” Looking back on the program’s formation and seeing where it is today, Prodey points to a few key factors that have preserved its legacy. “Everything centers on trust,” said Prodey. “The student teams trust the faculty, their peers trust them to deliver lessons that matter, and the program flourishes because of the authenticity that trust ensures.”

Adolescents today face a myriad of challenges, obstacles the Peer Education program is designed to help navigate. The program operates on the principle that pre-teens and teens are more receptive to advice and information from older high school students than from adults.

Peer education faculty teams train high school students to discuss topics relevant to their specific school environment. These trained students then present lessons to younger students, typically in middle school or freshman high school classes.

The lessons cover a wide range of subjects, including health-related

topics and decision-making skills. These sessions are conducted regularly during school hours, with a structured lesson plan that encourages discussion among the students.

Brett Lankford (Counseling), who currently oversees the program, credits the dedicated members of the Loyola faculty who shepherded it for many years. “People like Dick Prodey, Kathy Mathias, Jody Driscoll, and Brennan Prodey deserve a lot of the credit for building the framework of the program and ensuring that it continually improved to enhance the experience of our students,” said Lankford. “One of the unique elements of how our program is delivered is that our Peer Educators go to present lessons without a faculty member in the classroom. We have always believed that if you pick the right young men and train them properly, our younger Dons couldn’t be in better hands.”

The program has been a cornerstone of Loyola’s school counseling program. At the same time, it has modeled a partnership between

the counseling department and the faculty that comprised the Peer Education Team. Mike DelGaudio (History) was the longest-serving member of the program, having joined in 1996 and served for 26 years. Lankford highlighted DelGaudio’s “creativity, energy, and a gift for selecting Peer Educators.”

Among those who currently lead the program is Erin Warfield (Mathematics). Lankford credits her for bringing valuable classroom experience, lesson design, and best practices to help evolve and refresh materials and methods. “I joined the Peer Ed Team in 2015, and this program is one of the activities at Loyola that I am most proud to be a part of,” said Warfield. “It is exciting to partner with students and other adults to build dynamic, engaging, and informative lessons. We don’t seek to teach students what to think or what to do, but we try to empower them to make informed decisions based on facts, options, and critical thinking.

This is in line with our mission and Ignatian way of proceeding.”

Brennan Prodey oversaw the program for many years during his tenure in Loyola’s counseling department and took the reins in the wake of his father’s retirement in 2005. He also joined the O’Neil family at the 2023 Maryland Assembly on School Based Health Care to speak on behalf of the impact of peer education across the state. He attributes the success of the program to its unique approach. “Peer Education is not peer counseling, nor is it peer mediation,” said Prodey. “We aim to facilitate critical thinking and discussion concerning the issues that students face, the processes by which they make decisions, and the options available to them. Having a clear sense of what Peer Education is (and what it is not) has been one of the factors that have led to the program’s longevity and success.”

WE DON’T SEEK TO TEACH STUDENTS WHAT TO THINK OR WHAT TO DO, BUT WE TRY TO EMPOWER THEM TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS BASED ON FACTS, OPTIONS, AND CRITICAL THINKING. THIS IS IN LINE WITH OUR MISSION AND IGNATIAN WAY OF PROCEEDING.”

- Erin Warfield, Upper School Mathematics Insructor

Asher Davis ’24, who served as a student leader within the program, looks back on his experience as a peer educator fondly. “Our goal was to simply make a positive impact. Anyone’s life that is changed by a lesson, even in the smallest of ways, makes all the effort of designing the lessons and doing them worth it,” said Davis. “What makes it even more rewarding is the knowledge you’ve become a positive role model in someone’s life, and getting to see kids smile and wave at you because they recognize you as their peer education instructor is invaluable.”

Joseph Hsu ’06 served as a peer educator and returned to Loyola for the 30-year celebration in May. He looks back on the profound impact that Dick Prodey had on the program and shares his perspective as a father. “Mr. Prodey’s calm, peaceful, thoughtful, yet powerful and weighty approach infused the whole program and served as a model for how I wanted to communicate in all areas of my life,” said Hsu. “As a parent now, I see the magic of peer ed’s effects. It’s not about direct feedback but about putting good things out there with trust and vulnerability. The impact might show up later when a kid in a risky situation makes a healthy decision, perhaps subconsciously influenced by what we’ve taught them.”

The success of the Peer Education program in the Baltimore area is evident. Currently, 11 schools sponsor peer education, each tailoring the program to fit their unique student population and

concerns. The support from each school’s administration has been crucial to the program’s longevity and impact. While it is challenging to quantify the results due to the focus on attitudes and behaviors, the program’s continuation and expansion speak volumes about its effectiveness.

Reflecting on three decades of the Peer Education program, Tom and Pam O’Neil shared the following:

“30 years ago, Loyola President, Fr. James McAndrews and guidance counselor, Dick Prodey took a chance on a new program to help support successful teenage development. Due to its success at

Loyola and in other peer schools, over 1,000 peer educators have tried to improve decision making for literally thousands of their fellow students. For our family, an extremely positive outcome was made out of an enormous tragedy and will be forever grateful for the Loyola Dons who took a chance and started something very special.”

Peer Education Principles

Life involves risks. Some are healthy, while others are unhealthy. The issue is whether the potential gain is worth the risk.

02 Sound mental health involves a number of factors. Two factors are the ability to be honest with oneself and the ability to create options and alternatives.

03 Learning ways to deal with stress is an important part of life.

Experience may be the best teacher, but it is not the only teacher. Some lessons are too risky to be learned through experience.

07 Alcoholism or other drug addiction is a disease. It is not caused by a character flaw, lack of willpower, or mental illness.

There is a risk of negative consequences associated with any type of substance use— experimental use, social use, abuse, or addiction.

Feelings are neither good nor bad. How we act on our feelings may be positive or negative.

09 No man is an island. The statements and decisions we make affect others.

Accidents are avoidable. This does not mean that an individual has control over all of the factors that may be involved in an accident, yet it recognizes that the individual does play some role.

10 Differences do not equal deficiencies. Every person regardless of race, age, gender, and sexual orientation should be treated with respect.

23 YEARS OF SERVICE AT LOYOLA BLAKEFIELD

obbie McKenna is married to a Loyola graduate (Butch ’72) and together, they sent both of their sons (Michael ’00 and Mark ’04) to Loyola. The Blakefield community has played a central role in her home and professional life, and after a 23-year career, she is retiring.

Bobbie is known to many within the school community as the face of the School Store—selling an array of merchandise from t-shirts, hats, drinkware, and even onesies for the young members of the Dons faithful. In addition to the hard work and care she has put into the store, Bobbie has also ensured a strong presence at school events, including the annual Mothers’ Club Fashion Show, the Turkey Bowl 100 Celebration, and the annual Alumni Homecoming Bull & Oyster Roast.

In more recent years, Bobbie has also taken on additional duties as a member of our Visitor Center staff, answering phone calls, directing visitors, and helping to ensure that anything from the forgotten lunch box and pair of sneakers to the lacrosse gloves left in the backseat of the car found their way to their rightful owners.

“I’ve been fortunate to work with Bobbie for the past 10 years, and it has been a pleasure witnessing the attention to detail and thoughtfulness that she puts into our store,” said Sue Yancisin, Chief Financial Officer. “From ensuring that new items are always on the shelves and managing our online sales, Bobbie has taken pride in her work, and we wish her a happy, well-deserved retirement.”

A LOYOLA LEGACY:

Mr. Michael J. Iampieri

In loving memory, we honor the life and legacy of Mr. Michael J. Iampieri—an admired Loyola teacher, artist, and mentor.

A beloved member of Loyola Blakefield’s faculty, Michael Iampieri founded Loyola’s Visual Art Department in 1966 and retired in 2007. His influence still relevant years after his retirement, he was named an honorary member of the Class of 1970 during the 169th Commencement in June 2021, who claimed they “still feel his positive impact on [their] lives fifty years later.”

During his tenure, Mr. Iampieri taught art to generations of young men over four decades. Through his engaging demeanor and persistent, gentle persuasion, Mr.

IMAGE SOURCED FROM THE 1995 YEARBOOK. THE ORIGINAL CAPTION READS, “MR. IAMPIERI ASSISTS RYAN SACHSE WITH SHADING NUANCES.”

Iampieri modeled in and out of the classroom that openness to growth and the spark of imagination are cornerstones of a rich, rewarding, and spiritual life.

Michael’s legacy at Loyola is celebrated through the naming of the student art exhibition space in Burk Hall, which was created as a tribute to his dedicated career.

Additionally, the middle school art classroom in St. Ignatius Hall is named in his honor, along with Mr. Jerry Roe’s. We also honor him via the Michael J. Iampieri Award, which is “presented to a graduating senior who has demonstrated personal and spiritual growth through his pursuit of creative self-expression and his achievements in the arts.”

“The ideal example of what a Loyola faculty member ought to be.”

EVAN MADDOX ’24, THE MOST RECENT RECIPIENT OF THE MICHAEL J. IAMPIERI AWARD.

“He was an amazing man. I was terrible with anything related to drawing or painting, but he found a paper cutting and folding genre that I could do amazingly well – my only artistic experience ever. He also wrote me an inspirational note that I still have and read every so often. Such a kind and amazing soul.”

—AUGIE

NEMEC ‘92

“I was no artist, but I always felt comfortable exploring and trying my hand at art under his direction. I still have a sketch of Wheeler from my freshman class. He was a great man and superb teacher and artist.”

—JOE DI SETA ’98

“What I witnessed by working with Michael was how incredibly caring he was. He had high expectations for every student but always led with care, compassion, and love in everything he did. He loved art and tried to pass that love and passion along to his students. He was a great mentor to me and other colleagues in the Art Department over the years. In short, he was the ideal example of what a Loyola faculty member ought to be.”

CYBER SCIENCE EXPANDS ITS GLOBAL FOOTPRINT

On June 29th, members of our Cyber Science program departed for Bangkok, Thailand, to represent U.S. Cyber Command at the Royal Thai Armed Forces (RTARF) Warrior Contest. The Cyber Warrior Contest, held on July 4th at the National Defense Studies Institute, is an exercise created by the RTARF to evaluate the skills and readiness of their forces.

In addition to participating in the competition, the Loyola contingent also served as diplomats to military leadership, education administrators, and the various teams representing military forces from several nations. This provided an opportunity to showcase the knowledge and expertise that a youth cyber program is capable of achieving and will help model the way for educational institutions across the globe.

Among the highlights of the trip was a meeting with U.S. Ambassador to Thailand, Robert F. Godec. Our cyber students met with Ambassador Godec on the eve of the competition and discussed America’s partnership with Thailand and how cybersecurity is a growing global issue.

The Warrior Contest was an eight-hour competition that included a variety of red and blue team cyber challenges. We are proud to report that our two teams placed 3rd and 6th out of 77 participating teams. Our 3rd place team was recognized on stage with awards presented by General Somchai Malinant, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces. The team received a trophy, medal, certificate, and a monetary prize of 10,000 THB.

CONGRATULATIONS TEAMS!

3RD PLACE TEAM: Teddy Marine ’24, Casey Nazelrod ’25, and Jack Wachter ’24

6TH PLACE TEAM: Connor Counselman ’26, Matthew Kocorowski ’26, and Emmett Omron ’25 VIEW THE AWARDS PRESENTATION VIDEO

During the final stage of their trip, the group met with academic leaders at the Sarasas Ektra School in Bangkok, where they also engaged with faculty and students and laid the groundwork for a potential partnership and exchange program. After learning more about the school’s needs to invest in cyber education, our 3rd place team members decided to donate their monetary prize to help start a cyber program at Sarasas Ektra.

“Cyber security continues to be a global challenge that brought five countries together in Thailand to collaborate and build partnerships,” said Steve Morrill, Director of Technology and Cyber Science at Loyola. “I’m incredibly proud of the guys leading the way on behalf of U.S. Cyber Command. In doing so, they represented their country and Loyola Blakefield well.”

After a 22,000-mile round trip, the team returned to Loyola on July 7th. Loyola has already been invited back to participate in next year’s event. The program looks forward to enhancing its global partnerships and is eager to share more details as plans unfold. We would like to extend a special thanks to Mr. Andy Flood, P ’25, for serving as a chaperone along with Mr. Morrill.
