Meet Our Community

Pursuing Justice, Together

When students enroll in the undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs at Loyola’s School of Education, they are welcomed into a vibrant and diverse community of faculty, staff, students, and alumni who are engaged in ensuring an inclusive educational system that actualizes social justice.

Students

LaShanda

“I chose Loyola's School of Education for the personalized support from my instructors. They always consider my busy work and my family life, and they established an open line of communication. ”

Alumni

Simone Shook

“I try to instill in my students the ethos of cura personalis, to teach them not just about the content material but also about empathy for others and how to be a global citizen.”

Students

Ian

“Being a teacher goes hand in hand with the Jesuit ideal of being a person for others. Teachers work in a service, care-based industry that helps others grow at the most malleable point in their lives. ”

Faculty

Margarita Gomez, Ph.D.

“I am particularly interested in developing assessment tools that measure the cultural and linguistic competencies that multilingual and multicultural students bring to schooling.”
