President Terrence M. Sawyer, J.D.
At Loyola University Maryland, we are committed to student success, and we believe in the power of Jesuit, liberal arts education. Many colleges will provide a transactional college experience. At Loyola, our students receive a transformational education. They graduate from Loyola prepared for the future—and whatever that future might hold.
That’s the value of a Jesuit education. As the only Jesuit university in the state of Maryland, Loyola is part of the oldest, continuous education system in the history of the world. Values, ethics, and a commitment to justice matter, and we prepare students not just for professional success, but also to live and lead with purpose.
Here at Loyola, our faculty, staff, and administrators are teachers and mentors. Our students learn and engage in the community—within Loyola and throughout Baltimore—in meaningful ways. Our alumni graduate ready to live, lead, and serve in our diverse and changing world. Today, we recognize that this is our time. Together we can strengthen our connections throughout Greyhound Nation, deepen our commitment to our Jesuit, Catholic values, create a vision that includes all voices, and chart a path that embraces the best of the past and boldly envisions the future. Together—as our strategic plan says—we rise.
As we continue on this journey, we embrace the Jesuit ideals to live for and with others. As we do, please reach out with questions and insights to officeofthepresident@loyola.edu.
Let’s meet the moment together, for the greater glory of God. AMDG.

This is an exciting time for Loyola, and you can feel the energy. As we envision the future for Loyola, our community is establishing the footprint of where we are—and considering where we can go from here. We are working together to innovate, dream big, and be bold.
"This is our time."
