Chicago Working with community leaders

Partnerships

Change doesn’t happen alone—and change doesn’t happen without collaboration. When Loyola seeks partnerships with Chicago organizations, our faculty and students first listen to the need, before acting. Whether it’s with a nonprofit, small business, or large institution, our work has the biggest impact when knowledge and expertise is paired with true understanding. In return, our students gain hands-on experience, and our faculty are able to learn directly from those on the ground.
