Damen Ball

On Friday, Loyola concluded its Weekend of Excellence with the annual Damen Ball, a dinner and dance that celebrates the accomplishments of students and faculty over the year.  This year, the event was held downtown at Chicago’s Adler Planetarium.

The excitement for this year’s Damen Ball seemed to be at an all time high.  Tickets went on sale, first to seniors, at the opening of the new Damen Student Center, and sold out in just a few hours.  Tickets sold for $10.00, but the event turned out to be well worth the money.

From 9:00 to midnight, the Alder Planetarium was open exclusively to Loyola students.  The planetarium showed space presentations in their IMAX theater and allowed students to walk through the exhibits.  And after we all educated ourselves on the many facets of our solar system, we enjoyed ourselves on the dance floor!

All in all, it seemed everyone had a blast!  The Damen Ball was a great way to celebrate another completed semester at Loyola.
