Experience Culture on Campus and Abroad
From dynamic theatre performances to inspiring works of art, Loyola provides numerous cultural experiences for parents and friends while on campus. Or, participate in one of the popular travel-and-learn programs offered through the Loyola Travel Program.
Connect through Regional Clubs
If you don't live in Chicago or the surrounding area, you still can participate in a variety of activities with Loyola alumni in cities across the country. Loyola University Chicago Clubs exist to serve the interests of Loyola alumni, parents and friends and to help them make meaningful connections with one another and the university. Club activities include receptions, service projects, educational offerings, Loyola lectures, and theatre and sporting events.
Clubs are currently active in Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, St. Louis, Minneapolis/St. Paul and Washington, D.C. The clubs are organized by the Loyola Alumni Association. For more information, see their Alumni Clubs page.
