Inauguration
LMU’s first inauguration event aimed for nothing less than questioning the fundamental assumptions of Western thought.
Some events, problems and celebrations deserve more than just a feature.
At the Loyolan, our Special Issues section exists so that unique circumstances can be covered with custom multimedia collections. Some special issues repeat annually, and others remain unique features that stand apart with facts and stories that last through the years. Visit the custom webpages for any of these special issues by clicking the images below.
Dining Out is an annual special section of the Los Angeles Loyolan that highlights LA area restaurants. Included in the special section is a restaurant directory that features complimentary listings of local restaurants.
Senior Opinion Writer Alex Myers initiated this feature to tell the stories of queer students, faculty and staff at LMU that have yet to be heard. These personal stories approach the difficult subjects many queer people struggle with throughout their lives: coming to terms with religion, not compromising one’s sexuality and coming out in general.

Find out what students said they are grateful for.

Inauguration
Timothy Law Snyder may not be the first president to have a passion for music, but he’s certainly the first with his own SoundCloud account. He also might be the last person you’d expect to have this passion. His presidential profile on the LMU website cites that he earned his M.A. and Ph.D.…
