At Loyola, the ideals that have guided Jesuit universities for nearly 500 years-academic excellence, care for the whole person, service, justice, diversity, and integrity, among others-continue to mold the academic, social, and spiritual experiences we offer our roughly 5,000 undergraduate and graduate students, the programs we pursue, and the relationships we build with our surrounding communities. As a key member of the senior leadership team and the University's senior administrative officer in the president's absence, the provost provides leadership across the academic enterprise while helping advance Loyola's institutional priorities and long-term aspirations.
