In the cracks and corners of my life, in the flurries of sorrowful darkness and beautiful bouts of community and love, I find my forever friend, Music. It is the force of life in my bones, the harmonious prayer I breathe on my lips, through my fingers.  Full story

Fliers of students and faculty

Column: Take the opportunity to combat inequality

As a private Jesuit university, we tend to pride ourselves on Loyola's progressive reputation, and we have the statistics to back it up. We have a student body that is 60 percent women and 40 percent men, and women are equally, if not more, represented in the classroom. We don't have a problem saying that "women are people."
