Emily Robertson
B.A. Advertising Creative, Class of 2019
During her time at Loyola, Emily was a Gannon Scholar and a recipient of The President’s Medallion, an honor awarded to one student from each of Loyola's 14 schools. As a student, Emily was the director of Inigo Communications, Chicago’s first and only student-run communications agency. “The most valuable lesson I’ve learned from my Jesuit education is the importance of learning through experiences,” she says. “When we have the chance to collaborate and put our ideas into action, only then can we be on the path to change. I’ve created relationships with those experiencing homelessness in Chicago, helped hundreds of students in the Writing Center, and have helped small businesses become more inclusive in their communities.” Emily is currently a senior account manager at Eversana Intouch.
