Loras College Magazine - Winter 2009

Published on Apr 24, 2009

Loras College

The last three issues of The Loras College Magazine, including this one, have focused on important aspects of the College’s distinct nature and strategic vision for the future: Catholic identity, experiential learning and now leadership. The way in which the community engages in each of these aspects is unique to Loras College and worth not only recognition, but celebration. Leadership invokes many images, references and traits in people’s minds Some may think of politics, others of service. Some may think of successful business people while others reflect on the Church. Leadership encompasses all of these and more. In the cover story beginning on page 10, you will get a glimpse of some of the varying ways leadership is woven into the Loras experience. A closer look at the formal student leadership of Student Union follows in the feature story found on page 17. Finally, leadership takes many forms, as you will read about a courageous Loras alumna in the perspective on page 48.
