Spring Into Loyola: Admitted Student Events

Spring Into Loyola: Admitted Student Events

Once again Groundhog Day has come and gone.  Apparently Punxsutawney Phil didn’t see his shadow, telling us that spring is on its way.  Can it be true?  It seems like it will take us two more weeks just to get rid of all the snow that dropped on the city of Chicago less than 48 hours ago.  Fear not.  ALL IS WELL at Loyola.  Students are making their way to classes as usual, stopping for that cup of coffee or tea to get a quick warm up.

This past weekend was busy as the Undergraduate Admission Office hosted more than 500 guests, admitted students and their families, for a Rambler basketball game on Saturday.  Sunday didn’t disappoint either as our current students helped host almost 100 admitted students overnight on campus.  Monday provided the opportunity for these students to attend classes, meet with faculty, go on a campus tour, see the residence halls, and enjoy lunch.  It was so nice to talk with families visiting from all over the U.S.  One local student from Chicago was amazed that students were visiting from Orlando and Dallas.  I enjoyed talking with a family visiting from Green Bay as we discussed Packer fever for the Super Bowl.  I don’t think that family met one of the Pennsylvania families who seemed to be pretty big Steelers fans, but you never know.  All in all, it was a great event.

Throughout the Spring Semester, the Undergraduate Admission Office looks forward to visiting even more with our admitted students.  The best time for admitted students to visit will be Loyola Weekend, held April 2-3.  Be sure to check your e-mail as the registration site will be up shortly!  Don’t hesitate to come for your own individual visit as well.  Just give us some time and we can be sure to set up a class visit, a meeting with your Admission Counselor, and more.  Also, be sure to keep checking Loyola’s Class of 2015 Facebook group as future classmates and Loyola community members continuously provide updates and share their stories.
