It is a great honor for Loyola University Chicago to partner with the TIBETcenter of Chicago in hosting His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama on Thursday, April 26, 2012 from 1:30–3 p.m. on the Lake Shore campus in the Gentile Arena. The Dalai Lama will be awarded an honorary Loyola degree and will address the Loyola community on the topic of interfaith collaboration. This program is a private event for Loyola students, faculty, staff, alumni, and their guests. There is also an event open to the public and organized by the TIBETcenter of Chicago that same morning in the Gentile Arena.
