President's Statement
Universities are places that bring people together, from across all kinds of difference, and that give them chances to learn, grow, and understand each other better.
As a Jesuit, Catholic university in one of the world’s most vibrant cities, Loyola University New Orleans offers us many opportunities to engage each other in ways that deepen our character and help us become the best versions of ourselves. Our community is committed to being people for and with others. We not only imagine a world that is more inclusive and just; we strive to create it.
The Office of Equity and Inclusion promotes a university-wide commitment to inclusive excellence: achieving academic excellence through cura personalis, caring for the whole person. This means engaging the rich diversity of experiences and perspectives represented by all who inhabit our campuses and fostering an environment in which everyone feels a sense of safety and belonging. It means reaping the full rewards of our wonderful diversity.
