She works with Mundelein alumnae and affinity programs and services (travel program, alumni credit card, insurance, etc.). In her spare time, Nicole enjoys reading, camping, traveling the world, and entertaining friends and family (but only if her husband is doing the cooking!). |

Sarah Malouf - A&S '04, GSB '08 Sarah has called Loyola “home” for the past 9 years, both as a student and as a staff member. As an undergrad, she studied English and Secondary Education, and recently earned her Masters in Integrated Marketing Communications (isn’t that a mouthful?) in June of 2008. Sarah primarily works with our Young Alumni programming, as well as with the “Alumni in Training” program designed specifically for current students. Sarah loves living in Chicago, but traveling makes her very happy. When she’s not at Loyola, you might find Sarah shopping at Border’s, taking in a baseball game at US Cellular Field (GO WHITE SOX!), or learning Italian. |
