Congratulations to Loyola’s newest alums–the entire graduating class of 2014! You represent a diverse group of undergraduates, graduate and professional students educated in the Jesuit tradition of academic excellence and service to others. Your degree programs, majors, specializations, concentrations and fields of study represent a broad and impressive array of academic disciplines. I know that each of you are prepared to make meaningful contributions to your communities, our country, and internationally, whatever your skills or passions. The world needs you–WE need you–to go forth and, in the words of our patron St. Ignatius, set the world on fire. On behalf of the faculty and administration, you have our very best wishes as you embark on your journey beyond Loyola Chicago and lead the extraordinary life for which you have been prepared.
Sincerely,
John Pelissero
