he Association’s mission is to provide parents of alumni with a means of maintaining the bonds and friendships that began and developed while their child attended Loyola. The Association will work to accomplish this by hosting and planning events, communicating Loyola news, and securing volunteers and attendees for various events and outreach activities. Membership is open to all parents of alumni and we encourage you to get involved and participate! Ways to participate may include: • Attend Alumni Parents Association gatherings to remain connected with other parents and Loyola Faculty and staff • Help in planning or lending your special talent to an upcoming event. • Host an Alumni Parents Association social gathering or event in your home or at a restaurant. • Cheer on Loyola’s current students with other alumni parents at sporting events, concerts, or theatrical performances and arrange a group outing afterwards. • Brag about your alumni son or daughter! Parents of alumni are often our best source of information about our alums, so please send us those pictures and stories! For more information or to join, please contact Lara Torsky, Director of Annual Giving at 646-346-8134 or ltorsky@loyolanyc.org
