Alumni Awards

Alumni Awards

The Loyola University Chicago alumni community features action-oriented, values-driven individuals who embrace the Jesuit call to be “people for others.” They are organizational leaders and community advocates, teachers and preachers, servants and champions of human achievement.

Two alumni awards–Rambler on the Rise and Spirit of Felice –celebrate particularly exceptional efforts. Alumni award winners represent their alma mater with spirit and integrity. They enrich lives. They strengthen communities. They impact the world in positive ways.

Honorees are recognized during the Alumni Excellence Celebration, which is the Friday night kickoff event to Alumni Weekend.

Congratulations to our 2023 Alumni Award winners:

  • Rambler on the Rise: Alexandra Ponder (BA ’19, JFRC ’17)
