Celebrating Catholic Education with Chicago’s New Archbishop

C

Chicago Archishop Blase J. Cupich shared an evening of faith and friendship with the Loyola community on January 30 as he wrapped up his tour of Chicago-area Catholic schools during National Catholic Schools Week.

As we welcomed Chicago’s ninth archbishop to Loyola, we also honored our Ignatian educators with a skybox dinner at the Loyola vs. St. Ignatius Jesuit Cup basketball game. Archbishop Cupich joined our teachers, staff and board members at the catered dinner, which marked the culmination of our Faculty and Staff Appreciation activities held in conjunction with National Catholic Schools Week.

After sharing food and thoughts about faith with his Chic ago’s dinner companions, Archbishop Cupich mingled with the new Arch bishop vi Loyola du si ted ring Natio hundreds of sports fans gathered in our East Gym for the Jesuit nal C atho Schools W lic eek, whic h celebra

Our Rambler athletes, their athletic rivals from St. Ignatius College Prep and the fans joined in—–filling the gym with a profound sense of spiritual harmony and Catholic faith experienced in community.

Although our basketball team played an inspired game, St. Ignatius won out by a single point and brought the Jesuit Cup back to Roosevelt Road with a 43-42 victory.

President’s Message

‘‘

I am fueled by the stories of our alumni who have hit the road after graduating from Loyola and have moved to the frontiers.

The mission of Jesuits is to reach out to the frontiers. We are called to be at the places where cultures meet and dividing lines seem to be drawn. To go to the frontiers means that we feel comfortable asking questions at those intersections where faith meets science or where one culture meets another. We don’t fear these places, but rather we enter into them with the confidence that God can be found in the midst of these places of contrast and conflict. And so all of us who are a part of the Jesuit mission have a role to play on the road in the pilgrimage of life.

We seek to find God and to serve God wherever we might be sent, wherever the road might take us. days, in conversations with Rambler alumni and friends all over the world, it has been confirmed for me how significant and how important our mission is here at the corner of Lake and Laramie. As we continue to live out the great vision of St. Ignatius of Loyola, I am fueled by the stories of our alumni who have hit the road after graduating from Loyola and moved to the frontiers. They have brought their unique talents and gifts to the great questions, struggles and dreams of our world today.

I invite you to peruse this magazine, which highlights Loyola alumni in many parts of the

world—–alumni who have gone on to do interesting, creative, thought-provoking and generous things. Like them, all of you who are Ramblers have moved on from this place into the next best steps of your lives. I hope that you have made those moves with a confidence that has been instilled in you by the education that you received at Loyola. Our task here is not simply to provide an outstanding college preparatory education. Our mission is to equip young people to take that step off of our campus onto the highways and byways of thought and intellectual curiosity. We challenge Ramblers to hit the road and find their passions. We are called to seek out those places where the world’s needs speak to us most profoundly and then to give of ourselves—–to be women and men for others who have learned the great wisdom that to find yourself you have to give yourself away.

I thank you for all that you are and all that you do. I am inspired by all of the ways that you have

followed the path of your pilgrimage, applied your gifts and talents and shared yourselves with a world so desperately in need of hope and light. As always, I invite you to consider supporting the ongoing mission of Loyola Academy. You can make an extraordinary impact in our world by investing in the Ramblers of today and tomorrow. By supporting us with your prayers, with your good words and with your financial contributions, you make our mission possible and help fuel future generations of Ramblers for the journey ahead.

Know that you and your families are in our prayers here on campus.

Go! Ramblers!

Reaching for

J

With environmentally friendly aviation fuels made from algae and cornhusks, 21st-century customer service innovations and elements of hospitality borrowed from the hotel industry, United Airlines Vice President Jimmy Samartzis ’94 is transforming air travel as we know it.

Jimmy Samartzis ’94 has always been fascinated by airplanes. As a kid growing up in Chicago, he loved the high whine of their revving engines as they gained speed on the O’Hare Airport runways near his family’s Northwest Side home. He loved the ear-numbing roar just before takeoff—–and the spine-tingling thrill of watching those giant silver birds ascending into the Midwestern sky.

“Every couple of months, my dad would drive us to the spot where one of the airport runways went right over the road,” Samartzis recalls. “I remember standing outside of the car near Mannheim Road with my brother, Dino, and my sister, Kelly, and being completely awed by the mechanical feat of such large pieces of equipment becoming airborne.”

Looking back from the vantage point of 2015, those plane-spotting excursions seem almost prescient. But, at the time,

no one could have predicted that the awestruck boy standing open-mouthed on Mannheim Road would mature into one of United Airline’s most successful leaders and innovators.

Not even Samartzis himself. His path to United was a circuitous one—–a path that goes back to his Rambler years, when Doc Aiello’s Honors U.S. History course and Mike Barry’s A.P. Political Science course sparked his interest in government and politics.

After graduating from Loyola, he headed to the University of Chicago with plans to get an undergraduate degree in political science and apply to law school. But when fellow Rambler Steven R. Dagdigian ’94, who was studying at Georgetown University, encouraged him to apply for a summer internship at the White House, Samartzis jumped at the chance to pursue his

growing interest in politics. He mailed off an application and wrote personal letters to White House Chief of Staff Leon Panetta and Senior Advisor George Stephanopoulos.

Although his application was rejected, a Stephanopoulos staffer contacted him two days later with an internship offer—–and the 19-year-old headed to D.C. to serve as an intern in the Executive Office of the President. At summer’s end, when he was preparing to head back to Hyde Park and his undergraduate studies, he was invited to stay on in the West Wing instead.

“I realized that this was an opportunity of a lifetime,” says Samartzis. “I was seeing the President and his staff on a frequent basis, and I was pretty sure that I wouldn’t have an opportunity like that again, so I decided to put my studies on hold.”

When he returned to the University of Chicago a year later, he was so inspired to serve in government and politics that he

the Sky applied for an internship in Mayor Daley’s office, where he was involved with Neighborhoods Alive, an initiative launched to revitalize inner-city neighborhoods. The internship led to a part-time position in the mayor’s office, which he held while completing his undergraduate degree.

Meanwhile, he’d begun to interview with consulting firms and investment banks, including the New York City-based Goldman Sachs, but his heart wasn’t in the game.

“I realized that I wanted to have an impact in government and politics, so I shifted my focus to Washington, D.C., where I got involved with an initiative called The March: Coming Together to Conquer Cancer.

That time in D.C. gave me a chance to get reacquainted with my Clinton administration contacts, which led to an opportunity to work for the U.S. Secretary of Labor.”

Between 1999 and 2000, Samartzis went into hyperdrive, pursuing a master’s degree in government at Johns Hopkins University by night while working during the day as a security consultant for SRA International, where he was involved in the development of a Y2K national preparedness program for the White House, as well as the first national plan to protect critical U.S. banking, finance, transportation and

power infrastructures from cyber attacks.

By 2001, he’d moved on to the Washington, D.C.-based global strategy consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. As he moved deeper into the field of international business, he decided to take a year’s leave to earn an MBA at Oxford University’s Said Business School. In 2002, Oxford degree in hand, he proposed to his girlfriend, Elizabeth, during a well-deserved vacation on the southern coast of Spain and then returned to Booz Allen to spend the next five years building a successful consulting practice.

He loved the work that he was doing at Booz Allen, which ranged from the development of an international strategy for the U.S. missile defense system to the development of critically needed medical interventions for U.S. troops at risk of exposure to chemical and biological weapons.

But he and Elizabeth had married in 2003—–and his priorities had begun to shift.

“My son, Stephen, was born in Virginia in 2005,” he recalls. “Elizabeth and I didn’t have the sense of community that we wanted in D.C., so I began to think about moving back to the Chicago area.”

A United Airlines posting for a director of integrated planning solidified his resolve.

He landed the job and, by 2007, the family had relocated to Wilmette, a community he remembered fondly from his Loyola years.

“United was just coming out of bankruptcy, and I was energized by the transformation that the company was going through,” explains Samartzis, who has played the role of change agent consistently throughout his career. “I’m not a guy who is interested in maintaining the status quo.”

By 2010, he was leading efforts to

During this period, United was recognized for its leadership in advancing global climatechange policy, renewable fuels and sustainability initiatives.

role as the yearbook’s co-editor-in-chief. He did a nice job of managing what was probably, in retrospect, a pretty challenging group of smart, ambitious kids. We set a high bar for a good product and put together a yearbook that won national awards.”

While his leadership skills may have been innate, Samartzis’s formidable work ethic was forged during years of watching his father (who left his Greek homeland with $200 to his name) labor long hours to build a new life in the U.S. “I remember accompanying my dad, who serviced and installed HVAC systems for Chicago-area restaurants, to his job sites,” Samartzis confides. “I have vivid memories of the times when his truck was broken into and his tools and equipment were stolen. Every time it happened, we’d head over to Maxwell Street to buy everything back. Those years taught me a lot about life and what it takes to get ahead.”

His father’s early hardships also made Samartzis keenly aware of the need to help others who were struggling. As a Rambler, he tutored children from a nearby trailer park and served the developmentally disabled residents at Misericordia. Most recently, he has pursued his passion for serving others as a board member for Urban Initiatives—–a nonprofit led by James W. Dower ’98 to empower underserved children to adopt healthy lifestyles, improve their academic performance and build strong character through sports-based youth development programs.

“My brother, Dino, and I often talk about how Loyola inspired us and helped us become who we are today,” reflects Samartzis. “I look up to Dino as he improves people’s lives through innovations in spine medicine—–truly making a difference in communities throughout Asia, Europe and here in the U.S. Our careers are very different, but the core principles that have shaped both of our lives are rooted in our upbringing and in our Loyola experience: never settle, never give up and push for the change that you want to see.” 4

William T. O’Donnell Jr. ’67 has never forgotten one of the most important lessons that his father, a self-made man, taught him: “It’s not what’s in your pocket that’s important, it’s what’s in your heart.”

In O’Donnell’s heart was the

quiet call to serve—–and to follow in the footsteps of his father and mentor, William T. O’Donnell Sr. ’40, who gave generously to support

On November 7, 468 alumni, parents and friends gathered in the Grand Ballroom of the Hilton Chicago to support Jesuit education while honoring two dedicated leaders in service at our 57th annual President’s Dinner.

“It is our privilege tonight to celebrate what’s right with the world—–and to celebrate two men who have dedicated themselves to making the world a better place, especially for young people,” stated Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ.

“Like his father before him,” said Fr. McGrath, “Bill has been a trusted advisor to several Loyola presidents and a generous benefactor to the school.”

Loyola University Chicago President and CEO Rev. Michael J. Garanzini, SJ, was the recipient of the 2014 Daniel A. Lord, SJ, Award for Distinguished Service in the Cause of Youth. Fr. Garanzini received the award on October 21 because he was in Paris on the night of our President’s Dinner, serving in his new role as secretary for higher education for the Society of Jesus. Although he was an ocean away—–convening a gathering of Jesuit scholars at the request of His Holiness Pope Francis and Superior General of the Society of Jesus Rev. Adolfo Nicolás, SJ—–we are sure that Fr. Garanzini was with us in spirit as we celebrated his service to youth through higher education.

Q&A

In 2014, Loyola Academy Athletic Director Patrick M. Mahoney ’90 was voted in as president of the venerable Chicago Catholic League (CCL), which has served Catholic high school athletes in the Chicago area for more than a century. We caught up with Mahoney in early 2015 to find out more about his growing influence in the Catholic athletic arena, his commitment to Catholic education and the Jesuit values that will guide him as he leads the Chicago Catholic League through its 102nd year.

1 Why are you so committed to leading the Chicago Catholic League?

I believe in Catholic education, and I appreciate and respect the Chicago Catholic League’s longstanding tradition of excellence in Catholic high school athletics. I had served on the league’s executive board for several years, and I felt that the time was right to step up and expand my involvement. I also thought it was important for Loyola Academy to have a strong voice and a leadership role in the league.

2 How does your service as CCL president align with your commitment to Jesuit education?

As a Jesuit educator, I’m strongly influenced by the Ignatian imperative to be a leader in service. This position enables me to achieve that goal by serving Chicago-area Catholic schools and the studentathletes who attend these schools.

3 What are your goals as CCL president?

4

My goals are to continue to run the league in a positive fashion, update the league’s constitution and bylaws, evaluate the league’s financial operations and create a stronger presence in social media.

As a Loyola alumnus, do you have any enduring memories of the CCL from your days as a Rambler athlete?

I remember people talking about the Chicago Catholic League. Everybody knew somebody from the league or had a great story about someone who attended a school in the league. I’ll never forget what a great feeling it was to win the Lawless Award for most outstanding senior baseball player in the CCL. I felt a huge sense of pride and accomplishment. The award, which is presented annually to an outstanding coach and athlete in each sport, was named after Tony Lawless, who helped found and develop the Chicago Catholic League. The CCL played a pivotal role in my life and in the lives of generations of other Catholic high school athletes. It is an honor to be able to give back to the CCL and support its mission to promote excellence in athletics and academics. 4

es C . Do wdle ‘52 In January 2015, the Robert R. RIP McCormick Foundation made a $500,000 gift to Loyola Academy to establish the James C. Dowdle ’52 Memorial Scholarship.

Spearheaded by Loyola graduate parent, retired Tribune Company CEO and McCormick Foundation Board Chair Dennis J. FitzSimons, the scholarship honors James C. Dowdle ’52 RIP, who played a key role in the transformation of the Tribune Company into a major media conglomerate and served on the boards of numerous schools, charities and foundations, including Loyola Academy and the Robert R. McCormick Foundation, as well as Cristo Rey Jesuit High School, Junior Achievement of Chicago, Loyola University Medical Center, Mundelein Seminary and the Big Shoulders Fund, which supports Catholic schools in the neediest areas of inner-city Chicago.

The James C. Dowdle ’52 Memorial Scholarship will carry on Jim’s legacy of philanthropy and service by providing tuition assistance for Loyola Academy students from Catholic schools supported by the Big Shoulders Fund. The scholarship will also cover academic expenses, transportation costs and summer enrichment programs.

“This scholarship is especially meaningful for a number of reasons,” says Loyola Academy President Rev. Patrick E. McGrath, SJ. “It pays homage to a revered alumnus, parent and former member of our Board of Trustees, while assisting students who matriculate to Loyola Academy from Big Shoulders Fund schools. The mission of the Big Shoulders Fund was near and dear to Jim’s heart, just as it remains a priority for Loyola Academy and the McCormick Foundation. It is our hope that the McCormick Foundation’s exceptionally generous gift will inspire others to follow the foundation’s lead by providing additional funding for this scholarship. Nothing would please me more than to witness Jim’s wide circle of friends and admirers honoring him by making additional contributions to increase the impact of this scholarship in his name.”

Commemorating a 50-Year Milestone with a Record-Breaking Gift

H

Half a century after graduating from Loyola Academy, nearly 100 members of our Class of 1964 reconvened for a weekend of reminiscing and reconnecting at our Wilmette campus.

The reunion, which took place on the weekend of September 19-21, “exceeded all expectations,” according to a post-reunion report issued by the reunion committee, and offered a welcome opportunity to “share stories, renew relationships and develop new friendships.” It was a weekend defined by superlatives: a spectacular turnout, glorious September weather—–and an extraordinary act of collective generosity as class members commemorated their 50-year milestone with contributions totaling more than $358,000—–the largest class gift in Loyola history.

We are deeply grateful to reunion committee chairs E. Paul Dunn and Gerald F. Waldron and their committee members for organizing this memorable weekend, as well as the members of the Class of 1964 for giving so generously to provide tuition assistance for today’s Ramblers in need.

Opening Doors to the Arts

P

Peter G. Leemputte ’75 and his wife, Ellen, contributed $1 million to Loyola Academy’s Fine Arts Initiative in July 2014.

Their extraordinary gift will support the development of a comprehensive fine and performing arts center at Loyola, as well as expanded programming in art, design, photography, filmmaking, architecture, theatrical performance and production, music and dance.

“Loyola Academy has always stood for the development of Ellen and the whole individual, integrating Peter G. Le empu tte ‘75 the religious, intellectual, artistic and athletic abilities of a diverse group of men and women,” says Peter Leemputte. “Ellen and I want to contribute to that mission by ensuring that the school’s fine arts facilities are enhanced to a high level of excellence.”

“The Leemputtes are loyal and longtime champions of Jesuit education,” notes Principal Gifts Officer Les Seitzinger ’88. “Although their children—–Mary ’04, Peter ’08, John ’10 and Daniel ’12—–have all graduated from Loyola Academy, their passionate support continues through their scholarships for students in need, their ongoing participation in events such as our Ramble and President’s Dinner and their most recent gift to our Fine Arts Initiative.”

“Since the first Jesuit school opened nearly five centuries ago, the Jesuits have understood that the arts play an important role in the enrichment of the human spirit and the development of creative thinkers with the potential to transform society in positive ways,” comments Fr. McGrath. “We are deeply grateful to Peter and Ellen for their continued generosity, which will give Rambler artists and non-artists alike the facilities they need to explore the world’s diverse cultures, the beauty of nature and the presence of God in all things through the fine and performing arts.”

The sun was shining, the mood was congenial and the golf clubs were swinging on September 8 as 128 Loyola alumni, parents and friends convened at the North Shore Country Club for our 20th annual Ramblers Golf Outing.

The event, which was organized by Ronald E. “Reb” Banas ‘81 and his committee members, raised more than $14,775 to cover a full year of tuition for a Rambler in need, including books, uniforms and travel expenses.

These golfers for others also raised $17,500 for the Loyola Academy Needy Family Fund.

The funds will be used to provide nursing care for Patrick Stein ’11, who is suffering from lockedin syndrome, a form of paralysis caused by a brain aneurysm. Patrick is an inspiration to us all as he continues to face his physical challenges with resilience, humor, faith and courage. We are grateful to our alumni golfers for giving generously to support Patrick and his family.
