Wednesday, 11 - Thursday, 12 | Student-Faculty Colloquia for the 2026 Humanities Symposium Two days during the official Symposium week are set aside for Loyola student/faculty colloquia. During each scheduled class period, faculty and their classes will meet with faculty and students from other classes. These colloquia have traditionally been led by panels composed of faculty members from different disciplines who lead informal discussion, posing questions to stimulate the participation of students, and to engage the Symposium text across narrow disciplinary boundaries. The colloquia will be in-person. They are open to Loyola faculty, staff, and students. McManus Theater. |

Sophomore Class's Glenstone Museum trip This museum, located just outside Washington, D.C. in Potomac Maryland, is a space where to slow down, be in nature, and engage directly with art. Glenstone provides a space for ongoing reflection and contemplation. The museum assembles post-World War II artworks of the highest quality tracing great historical shifts in the way we experience and understand art of the 20th and 21st centuries. These works are presented in a series of refined indoor and outdoor spaces designed to facilitate meaningful encounters for visitors. Your HN 204 professors will provide the details you need! |
