Support for collaborative research and innovative teaching
As part of the Faith in the Future campaign, the College of Arts and Sciences (formerly known as the College of Humanities and Natural Sciences) will build endowments that enhance teaching and scholarship through support for student and faculty research, curriculum development, and extracurricular opportunities for student learning.
These endowments will amount to a robust pool of resources that holistically strengthen the college and provide each of its departments critical funds for initiatives specific to their disciplines. Since all Loyola students pass through the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), whether as department majors or via the Common Curriculum, endowment support for the college impacts the broadest cross-section of students possible while supporting a core component of Jesuit liberal arts education.
The College of Arts and Sciences seeks $4.5 million to establish these endowments, which will contribute to Loyola’s longstanding tradition of providing students outstanding experiential learning opportunities and access to stimulating curricula taught by an innovative faculty dedicated to Jesuit education.
