Evan Fazio

Alumni Blogger

Hello! I’m Evan Fazio, and I’m double majoring in philosophy and advertising/public relations at Loyola. I’ve played in the band Mapmaker since my freshman year, and I also serve as the Event Manager for the Department of Fine and Performing Arts. I’m looking forward to sharing some of my great experiences at Loyola and across Chicago.

Ministry at Loyola

April 19th, 2012

I think a lot of people come with disparate views on how Loyola’s Catholic identity will affect their daily life. As a non-Catholic I have to admit this was a concern when I was looking at schools. But working with someone from Ministry last night reminded me just why I love them so much. Catholicism [...]


Garanzini And Me

April 14th, 2012

I’ve always liked our president, the Reverend Michael J. Garanzini, S.J. The first time that I saw him was when I was crossing the street on Devon and Glenwood. It was a rare and shocking glimpse to see him so far down Devon by himself. I’ll never know what he was doing there. But as [...]


Working out at Halas gym

April 13th, 2012

Something that is a pretty large part of my daily life, and about which I never write, is Loyola’s gym. Halas is one of those things that I encounter on a daily basis knowing that in just a few short years (maybe one? I don’t know their plans) it will be much better. But, for [...]


Tools For Organizing

April 2nd, 2012

As is often the case, I found myself around a table of peers discussing our various responsibilities and schedules. When it came my turn to speak, I outlined my 4 jobs, 4 classes and personal improvement goals. One friend remarked to another, “Sometimes I think Evan Fazio days are just longer days,” and they asked [...]


The Hunger Games from a College Perspective

The Hunger Games from a College Perspective

March 28th, 2012

(from this site.) This will be a quick post, but I just had to share a thought that occurred to me: pretty much everything you experience during your 4 years at college will be influenced by the fact that you are in college. You are in a unique environment with a very specific subset of [...]


How Semesters at Loyola Work

March 27th, 2012

Now that we’re into the 3rd out of what I would say are 4 parts of the semester, I think I’ll give a breakdown of how I’ve noticed all the parts of the semesters generally trend: 1. I think the first part of every semester is, in general, a “get to know you” section where [...]


Presidential Scholarship & Acafriendzy

March 25th, 2012

Friday night was a busy, but fun, night for me. It was one of those times when my Event Manager job for the Department of Fine and Performing Arts coincided with my job with the Undergraduate Admissions Office and my social life. I was contacted by one of the Undergraduate Admissions Counselors, Suzannah Magnuson, a [...]


Picking Up My Cap and Gown

Picking Up My Cap and Gown

March 22nd, 2012

I have tried to write this blog in such a way that makes it accessible to incoming Freshman while showing Loyola in hindsight or from a more seasoned perspective. For the most part, I think I have done an alright job. My last post may have pushed the limit, and this one even more so. [...]


The View from My Office

The View from My Office

March 20th, 2012

I wanted to share the view from my office with you today. Take a look: This view actually means a lot to me. First, it is a sign of the parallel between how far I have come and how far Loyola has come since I arrived here. It has actually been pretty fun to watch [...]


Events on Campus

March 16th, 2012

As a Senior, I acknowledge that the perspective may not be the most relevant to the readers of this blog. After all, the Undergraduate Admissions Office’s primary audience is prospective Freshman. But I think that my perspective after an “average lifespan” of a Loyola student can be helpful. They say hindsight it 20/20, and I [...]
