Loyolan Alumni Happy Hour
5–7 p.m.
Kick off the Loyolan’s Centennial Celebration with a welcome happy hour on the outdoor patio at Cinco. Join us just blocks from the bluff for appetizers and two hosted drinks!
The Loyolan is 100!
The anniversary year will highlight The Loyolan, its staff/alumni, readers, and share ideas of what the future holds in the changing world of media. Check back often for historic snapshots and stories, staff reflections and event updates!
The Los Angeles Loyolan elevates students’ educational experiences, provides jobs, and captures the stories of today so they can be remembered tomorrow.
Make a difference in the lives of our students with your gift, and help lead us into the next 100 years.
Support Our Student Leaders
On the 100th anniversary of this campus institution student service, our goal is to raise $50,000 to significantly strengthen the Loyolan Merit Endowed Scholarship Fund and support student journalism for years to come.
Since the fund was established in 2008, 52 student staff members have received a scholarship from the fund. These scholarship does not impact any other need-based or merit-based aid a student may have obtained through the LMU Financial Aid office. Donations to the Fund are designated for student scholarships and are not earmarked for other operations of the Loyolan. These scholarships are essential in allowing the Loyolan to attract and retain talented students.
Student Testimonials
“It is in the newsroom where we gained the ‘whole person’ education that LMU prides itself on. It gave us more practical skills than any other job on campus could have and brought out strengths that we never knew existed. As we are sure you remember, the newsroom was a home for us: it was where we were challenged, where we put our leadership skills to the test, where we fine-tuned our writing skills. Not a day passed that we weren’t learning something new in the office.”
- Danielle (Corkhill) Velazquez ’10, former editor in chief and inaugural Loyolan Merit Scholarship recipient
“Without a doubt, my experiences at the Loyolan were the most defining and rewarding of my college career. Through the Loyolan, I learned a countless number of invaluable life lessons. I honed my writing skills, I learned how to stay calm in the midst of a production crisis, and I learned to communicate effectively in a broad range of circumstances.”
- Kenzie O’Keefe ’12, former editor in chief and Loyolan Merit Scholarship recipient
