We are thrilled to announce the opening of a permanent exhibition honoring Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt, a beloved figure who has touched the hearts of many through her unwavering faith, dedication, and spirit. This exhibition celebrates Sister Jean's remarkable life and her profound impact on both Loyola University Chicago and the wider community. Through a collection of personal artifacts, displays, and memorabilia, visitors will journey through her decades of service, her role as chaplain of the Loyola Ramblers, and her inspiring contributions to education and social justice.

This exhibit is not just a tribute to Sister Jean, but a reflection of the values she embodies—community, resilience, and love. We invite all to explore this moving homage to a woman who continues to inspire generations.
