With prayers and best wishes,

Kevin Wm. Wildes, S.J., Ph.D., President

From the PresidentToday, five years after Hurricane Katrina, we stand as a strong university

with a bright future ahead of us, thanks to the dedication and hard work ofthe entire Loyola University New Orleans community.

For three years, we have set new records in undergraduate applications,which has led to the rebuilding and strengthening of our undergraduateenrollment. Not only are we recruiting and retaining a diverse group of stu-dents from around the country and the world, but we are also attractingbright young men and women who are eager to make a difference in theircommunities.

We continue to hire excellent faculty and staff with impressive creden-tials. These new members of the Loyola community, together with ourlong-term faculty and staff members, help us sustain an exciting academicenvironment where traditions of the past meet the challenges of today andhelp us shape the future.

We have implemented new programs for first-year students to enhancetheir collegiate experience. Last year, we conducted a successful pilot for the First-Year Experience. Thisfall, we have fully implemented the program, which is designed to engage students more deeply with theuniversity and to serve as an interdisciplinary gateway to the Common Curriculum. Students are now par-ticipating in living/learning communities in which co-curricular events—lectures, field trips, plays, films,and other activities—reinforce classroom instruction and encourage students to reflect on connectionsbetween academic study and their personal lives.

In addition, the College of Business fully implemented its Portfolio Program for all business majors, theDepartment of English launched a new major in film and digital media, the School of Nursing launchedits Doctor of Nursing Practice Program, and both the Loyola Institute for Ministry and the Departmentof Criminal Justice launched online master’s degree programs.

All of this hard work has not gone unnoticed. Loyola ranked 7th Regional University in the South inthe 2011 edition of America’s Best Colleges by U.S. News & World Report and ranked 8th in the “GreatSchools, Great Prices” category. U.S. News & World Report also recognized Loyola as one of the nation’sbest for providing student experiences that focus on success. The publication highlighted our commitmentto our service learning programs, which bring education to life by connecting the classroom to communi-ty needs.

The J. Edgar and Louise S. Monroe Library ranked 7th in The Princeton Review’s 2011 “Top 10University Libraries” list along with Harvard, Duke, and Princeton. Loyola has rated in the list for fiveconsecutive years.

Most visibly, last year, we began implementation of our new master plan for facilities, and you can seeour progress around campus. Our focus this year is the work, already begun with architects, faculty, andstaff, in planning for the second phase of the master plan: Monroe Hall, a new student center, and a newresidence hall.

We have accomplished much in the past five years, but I ask for your continued support as we move tothe next chapter in our history. Our task, for the present and the future, is the continued implementationof the strategic plan, Loyola 2012, as we approach our centennial. Together, we can continue to achievegreat things.

Thank you for all you have done and for all you will do in the years ahead.

Loyola welcomes Class of 2014 to campus

Golden Wolves, Class of 1960

Loyola introduces new students to New Orleans culture with iconic novel

This fall, Loyola opened its doors to 782first-year students, representing the Class of 2014. Thenew students are both academically talented and cultur-ally diverse. Nearly 62 percent of the students are fromoutside of Louisiana, a significant increase from lastyear’s 56.9 percent. The majority of out-of-state stu-dents come from Texas, Florida, California,New York, and Illinois. The new students rep-resent 46 states and territories and 18 coun-tries. Ethnic minorities represent more than 40percent of the new students.

The Class of 2014 is academically accom-plished, with more than 50 percent of thestudents graduating in the top 25 percent oftheir high schools. The class’ average GPAis 3.77, and the average ACT score is slightlyabove a 26.

The new students arrived on campus inAugust for Wolfpack Welcome, a new student

orientation designed to make the transition to collegeeasy and enjoyable. Events included a day of service,tours of New Orleans, discussions on the summer read-ing project, class photo, a New Orleans second line, andnumerous opportunities to meet and connect withfuture classmates.

As part of the First-Year Summer Reading Program atLoyola, all first-year students received a copy of JohnKennedy Toole’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, AConfederacy of Dunces, published by Louisiana StateUniversity Press. The distribution of this book was madepossible by a generous donation from the College of Lawunder the leadership of the late Dean Brian Bromberger.

While teaching in the English department at Loyola in1976, noted Southern author Walker Percy was approached

by the mother of a young local writer who had committedsuicide seven years earlier. The mother explained to Percythat in his career, her son had failed to find a publisher forhis manuscript. After some persuasion, Percy read and sawpromise in the piece and later used his influence to reintro-duce it to publishers. As a result, A Confederacy of Dunceswas published in 1980 and was awarded a Pulitzer Prizeposthumously in 1981. This year marks the 30th anniver-sary of the book’s publishing.

Several events for students took place duringWolfpack Welcome, August 25 – 29, to compli-ment their reading experience. First-year studentsparticipated in a writing contest where they sub-mitted essays that detailed the issues addressed inthe novel. There were six cash awards given for thebest entries.

A Lucky Dog vendor, as featured in thebook, was on campus selling hot dogs whilestudents, parents, and faculty gathered insmall groups to discuss the book. The univer-sity also offered city-wide bus tours for stu-dents and their families that included famouslandmarks from the novel.

Students and faculty members fromLoyola joined colleagues from several universities inNorth America to participate in Chester 2010: Peril andDanger to Her Majesty, a medieval dramatic festival andacademic symposium dedicated to the group of mysteryplays produced in Chester, England, in the 15th and 16thcenturies. The symposium took place at the University ofToronto, in Canada. John Sebastian, Ph.D., associateprofessor of medieval studies, and Artemis Preeshl,M.F.A., associate professor of theatre arts, performed aplay from the Chester Cycle, TheAscension, on May 24.

In preparation for their Canadian per-formance, cast members staged a freeviewing of The Ascension and repeatedthe performance when they returned onMay 25, in Dixon Court, located in frontof the Communications/Music Complex.

During Chester 2010, 23 groups ofexperts and students performed aCatholic version of the complete ChesterCycle of 23 plays. The plays were stagedon wagons moving from station to stationalong a performance route, as they werein historical Chester, England.

In 1572, Christopher Goodman, aProtestant clergyman who objected to thecycle’s Catholic content, failed to preventa performance of the Chester Cycle that hewarned would cause “peril and danger toher majesty.” The Chester 2010 perform-ances, which enacted the Christian storyfrom creation to judgment, were based onGoodman’s description of those originalperformances. The performances developedtheir own approach to the question of whatmade the Chester plays so dangerous thatGoodman wanted them banned, whichthey eventually were in 1575.

For the rehearsal of this production,director Preeshl incorporated the Ignatianmethod of prayer, which she learned inthe Jesuit Lenten Retreat under the spiri-tual direction of Judy Deshotels, Ph.D.

Students and faculty perform medieval play in Canadaand New Orleans

Preeshl developed an allegorical approach to themedieval play. Set against the backdrop of the warbetween Catholic and Protestant royalty in England,actors not only took on the roles in the production butalso important Catholic figures of the 16th century.For example, the actor playing Peter was costumed asPope Pius V, who excommunicated Queen Elizabeth.

In addition, motivated by the research question ofthe conference, Sebastian presented a paper addressingthe use of blood imagery in the play.

By Jamie BustosIn their final season in the

Gulf Coast Athletic Conference, the 2010Loyola baseball team came into post-seasonplay looking to surprise the rest of theleague, and that’s exactly what they did.Although they came up one game short ofcapturing the GCAC Tournament champi-onship and earning a birth to the NAIAWorld Series, the ‘Pack baseball team puttogether one of the most memorable weeksin the program’s history.Loyola came into the tournament as the

sixth-seed and had little trouble with TougalooCollege in the play-in game, winning 15-2. LUadvanced to face top-seed BelhavenUniversity, where they upset the No. 10-ranked team in the country with a 5-3 victoryon their home field. Riding the momentum, Loyola sent Spring

Hill packing after hammering out 16 hits ontheir way to a 14-6 win, setting up a meetingwith William Carey University. With two outsin the top of the ninth, the Crusaders lookedto be heading to the championship until fresh-man Tyler Duplantis hit a game-winning two-run single, giving Loyola a 7-6 victory.Unfortunately, national powerhouse LSU-

Shreveport proved to be too much as the Pilotsswept the championship series, earning theirfourth tournament title in the last five years.The Wolfpack finished with 19 wins, theirhighest win total since the 2006 season.

In a move to enhance its athletic program, Loyola has

joined the Southern States Athletics Conference in compe-

tition starting this fall. Loyola previously was a member of the

Gulf Coast Athletics Conference within Division 1 of the

National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.

Last year, the university set goals to enhance the athletics

program in its strategic plan, Loyola 2012. Among those goals

were increasing the number of intercollegiate sports offerings

and enhancing the athletic program’s regional reputation.

Last summer, the Wolfpack added women’s tennis to its team

line up, and this year’s addition of men’s tennis brings the

number of sponsored varsity sports to 12.

In addition to Loyola, other institutions joining the con-

Loyola joins Southern States Athletics Conferenceference are Belhaven College, Spring Hill College,

University of Mobile, Truett-McConnell College, and

William Carey University, increasing the SSAC membership

to 16. For the SSAC, the increase in membership has

allowed it to restructure its conference into two divisions.

Belhaven, Loyola, Spring Hill, Mobile, and William Carey

joined Auburn University Montgomery and Faulkner

University to make up the new division. The remaining

existing Southern States schools, along with Truett-

McConnell, make up the second division. Each team will

play their regular season conference games within its division,

disaster strikes, immediate action is needed. So,when the biggest oil spill in U.S. history began to

threaten the Gulf Coast, the Loyola University NewOrleans community leapt into action by serving as a valu-able resource for information, providing expert commentaryto media outlets around the world through its esteemed fac-ulty and staff, and organizing volunteer efforts to help busi-nesses in the area recoup losses. The goal was to help resi-dents of the affected areas regain hope for the future.

On April 20, 2010, an explosion aboardthe BP-Deepwater Horizon drilling rigkilled 11 platform workers and injured17 others. As a result of the explosion,thousands of gallons of oil began spewingfrom the Macondo well located at the bot-tom of the Gulf of Mexico. As news of theexplosion and subsequent oil spill spread, itquickly became evident that the entireGulf Coast—from its seafood industry to itswildlife and wetlands to its tourism—wouldbe affected.

Realizing the need for quick and accu-rate information, a day of discussions andworkshops was held for New Orleans and

Gulf Coast-area stakeholders to learn about the oil spill anddiscuss the elements of a comprehensive response strategy.The free workshop, which took place on May 25 at theAshe Cultural Center in New Orleans, was offered by theLoyola Center for the Study of New Orleans, GulfRestoration Network, New Orleans Food and FarmNetwork, New Orleans Institute at City-Works, TulaneInstitute on Water Resources and Policy, United HoumaNation, and the Urban Conservancy.

Panel discussions and working groups included: a discus-sion of pre-spill conditions of the wetlands and coastal com-munities and how the disaster affects the overall challengesof the coast and Gulf; a look at environmental, social, andeconomic conditions locally and across the region, state,and nation; the roles and responsibilities of industry, gov-ernment agencies and departments, the academic and com-munity sectors, the media, and the public; and a discussionof priorities and resources for action in the future.

Craig Hood, Ph.D., pro-fessor and chair of the LoyolaDepartment of BiologicalSciences, employed thepower of the air waves whenhe discussed the oil spill andits effects on coastal ecologyand biology during a specialepisode of his radio show,“Science Matters,” on June16. The program, which wasbroadcast live on Loyola’sInternet radio station,Crescent City Radio, can bedownloaded at www.science-mattersatloyola.com

“The show highlighted critical things we know abouthow the spill is affecting offshore marine habitats includ-ing invertebrate and fish reproduction; the importance ofphytoplankton to the ecological food web; oyster biologybasics; wetland sediments, soils, microbes, plants, and ani-mals; and the nesting and feeding behavior of pelicans andother shorebirds,” says Hood.

Contributing OnlineLoyola Assistant Professor of English Janelle Schwartz,

Ph.D., and Assistant Professor of Chemistry JoelleUnderwood, Ph.D., joined together in an online presen-tation on the resource website In Media Res (mediacom-mons.futureofthebook.org/imr), providing figures andimages taken from data relating to the BP oil spill.

“We gathered existing data into a format appropriate toenhance an online, mediated discussion of the spill, andpaired it with a prose piece expressing the challenges ofunderstanding this event while in the midst of it,” saysSchwartz.

Their project, “Spilling the Story,” compared U.S. oilconsumption figures to oil spill volumes from theDeepwater Horizon, Exxon-Valdez, and Ixtoc-I accidents,

and contextualized these fig-ures by focusing on such aspill’s suggested impact on thehabitat, wildlife, and people ofthe Gulf region.

Helping Small BusinessesSurvive

Though the oil spill hashad a major impact on theentire Gulf Coast region, it isthe small businesses that havesuffered the most.Recognizing this harsh reali-ty, on May 27, at the requestof Louisiana Senator MaryLandrieu, Louisiana SmallBusiness DevelopmentCenter GNOR (Loyola

SBDC) Director Carmen Sunda testified at a Senatehearing in Washington, D.C., on the BP-DeepwaterHorizon oil spill’s immeasurable impact on small busi-nesses. In her written testimony, Sunda expressed thefar-reaching devastation of the uncertainty of the spilland provided details about how the SBDC is helpingaffected businesses.

“The worst part is that it has no foreseeable ending.People can’t estimate the value of their long-term loss-es or the long-term impact, because they can’t define‘long-term’—does it mean this season, a few years, a life-time?” wrote Sunda.

The Loyola SBDC has partnered with the SmallBusiness Administration (SBA) and co-located some ofthe BRCs with other resource partners such as SeedcoFinancial to staff 12 Business Recovery Centers in sevenparishes across coastal Louisiana. Each center is staffedwith SBA Disaster Loan Customer ServiceRepresentatives and an SBDC consultant. The SBDCassists with the BP claims process, SBA Disaster loans,and strategic planning and implementation in order tomitigate the impact.

According to Sunda, the SBDC experiences the

Centers’ consultants counsel each business individually,helping to determine the best ways for them to over-come the effects of the spill and ensuring each businessmakes decisions that are appropriate for its individualsituation. The Business Recovery Centers also assistbusinesses with the BP claims process, and customerservice representatives are available to answer questionsabout the SBA’s economic injury disaster loan program.Representatives issue loan applications, explain theprocess, and help businesses complete applications.Since the oil spill began, the SBDC has reached out tomore than 1,800 affected small businesses in the area.

Creating an Information HubIn July, Loyola launched Crude Awakening

(www.loyno.edu/oilspill), which is a dynamic informa-tion hub about the spill and Loyola’s contributions to theGulf Coast’s efforts to overcome the disaster. The site,developed by the Office of Web Communications and theOffice of Public Affairs, provides a directory of Loyolaexperts who can speak to the media about spill-relatedtopics, a regularly updated blog, news of Loyola’s involve-ment in the recovery efforts, and headlines from around

the world with the latest oilspill information.

Collecting Donations toHelpLoyola Dining Services part-

nered with a local stationarycompany, Two Sprouts, to raisemoney to aid victims of the oilspill. Two Sprouts created“Save Our Coast andWildlife” T-shirts, which arebeing sold on Loyola’s cam-pus through The Market andon Tulane’s campus throughthe Lavin-Bernick Center,McAlister’s Market, andLeGourmet. To further its efforts, Loyola

Dining Services is collecting donations at all its registers.All the money received through donations and T-shirtsales is being donated to the Gulf Relief.

Showing the Need for Environmental ProtectionThough the main focus has been on stopping the oil

spill and cleaning up its after effects, Robert Verchick,J.D., Gauthier-St. Martin Eminent Scholar and Chair inEnvironmental Law at Loyola, who currently serves asdeputy associate administrator for the EnvironmentalProtection Agency’s Office of Policy, Economics, andInnovation, is hoping to prevent future disasters. In hisnew book, Facing Catastrophe: Environmental Actionfor a Post-Katrina World, published by HarvardUniversity Press, he calls for stricter environmental pro-tections and changes in disaster law, a subject that hasdominated the headlines with the recent oil spill.Verchick argues for a new perspective on disaster law

that is based on the principles of environmental protec-tion. His ideas boil down to three simple commands: GoGreen, Be Fair, and Keep Safe. Verchick argues thatgovernment must assume a stronger regulatory role inmanaging natural infrastructure, distributional fairness,

and public risk. He proposeschanges to the federalstatutes governing environ-mental impact assessments,wetlands development, airemissions, and flood control,among others. Making astrong case for more trans-parent governmental deci-sion-making, Verchick offersa new vision of disaster lawfor the next generation.

“While the book isinspired by Katrina and usesthe Gulf of Mexico as anexample for various recom-mendations, the book is for-ward looking and deals witha range of catastrophic envi-ronmental risks,” says Verchick.

Verchick’s book could not be more timely, accordingto academic peers. In a post on the environmental lawand policy blog, Legal Planet, University of California,Berkeley Law Professor Dan Farber writes, “Verchick’snew book might help avoid future disasters like theDeepwater Horizon blowout.”

Assisting through Alumni EffortsLoyola faculty, staff, and students are not alone in

their efforts to combat the oil spill. Alumni LaurynSass Bailey ’02, Sarah Ramadan Ruiz ’05, Tho Pham’05, and Carlos Navarro, M.B.A. ’10 are working toensure the safety of Gulf seafood consumption at theEurofins Central Analytical Laboratories facility inMetairie, La. Bailey, Ruiz, and Navarro test water andseafood samples for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons—toxic by-products from crude oils like those which werebeing emitted from the Deepwater Horizon site.Navarro works at the lab as a marketing manager.

The Eurofins Central Analytical Laboratories alsocontinues to test samples of water and seafood, such asoysters, fish, shrimp, and crabs, for various toxins,including pesticides, veterinary drug residues, and heavy

metals. Once analyzed, datais submitted to clientsincluding Louisiana stateagencies, which detail theirfindings.

“The results from ourtests may be used by our cus-tomers or by the local andfederal governments todecide if particular areashave been impacted and ifthe seafood products fromthat area are safe for con-sumption,” says Bailey.

Bailey, who earned a doc-torate in chemistry from theUniversity of NorthCarolina at Chapel Hill, isthe manager of the method

development and validation team for trace analysis.“I work on establishing new methods, analyzing spe-

cific compounds in specific products, as well as collect-ing data to ensure the method is viable. The informa-tion is then submitted to accreditation boards, govern-ment agencies and customers,” says Bailey. “My projectscan vary from week to week and are mostly influencedby customer requests or by current events such as aro-matic hydrocarbons in seafood and water samples inresponse to the oil spill.”

On a different front, Telley Madina ’05 works as thecoordinator for the Louisiana Oystermen’s Association(African-American, Native American, Vietnamese,and Cambodian fishermen), which is helping fishermenand communities of Pointe A La Hache, Davant, andPhoenix deal with filing claims, finding work withBP/federal agencies, and getting assistance from BP andfederal agencies (Depts. of Labor, Interior, Agriculture;Congressional offices; etc.). They are also advocatingfrom Louisiana and Washington, D.C., for minorityparticipation in contracting opportunities during theclean up.

Fighting for the FutureThough the leaking oil well was finally capped in

August, its effects will continue to be felt along theentire Gulf Coast for many years to come. It willonly be through continued diligence and advocacythat our way of life here on the Gulf Coast can bepreserved for future generations. Loyola is proud tobe a part of that fight.

Examining the Legal and Environmental EffectsLastly, though certainly not end of Loyola’s actions,

the College of Law presented “The Deepwater HorizonOil Spill—A Billion Pound Dossier,” a legal and envi-ronmental examination of the BP disaster in the Gulf ofMexico, on September 17. The featured presentationhighlighted fundamentals of oil and gas exploration andproduction operations and addressed the players, events,reactions, and responses in the Deepwater Horizon acci-dent. Two panels on environmental litigation and envi-ronmental science presented opportunities for questionsand answers.

The first panel on environmental litigation offeredlegal perspectives of different stakeholders, includingprivate and public claimants. Groups of claims, causes ofaction, and litigation strategies were discussed. Thepanelists also addressed corporate and regulatory fixes to

Loyola 7 – LSU 0. Football at Loyola UniversityNew Orleans had finally arrived. The Wolfpack,donning their maroon and gold uniforms, took to thefield in a highly anticipated game, and defeated theTigers in Baton Rouge. The year was 1922 and theuniversity was celebrating its 10th anniversary.Eighty-eight wins, 77 losses, 11 ties, and 18 seasonslater, Loyola’s era on the gridiron came to an endwhen University President Percy Roy, S.J.,announced, in 1939, the football program would bediscontinued as Loyola’s leaders were committed to education-al expansion and believed the continuance of football wouldstunt university growth.

More than 70 years after the decision, much has beenf o r g o t t e n .Many peoplehave no rec-ollection orknowledge ofthe Wolfpack’srich footballtradition; butF r a n kL o m b a r d o’41, a memberof Loyola’s lastteam, remembers it well. His coach was the legendary Larry“Moon” Mullins, who was a star fullback on KnuteRockne’s undefeated national championship teams atNotre Dame in 1929 and 1930.

“We played the Notre Dame system in the box forma-tion,” recalls Lombardo. Less than a decade earlier, Mullinswas part of a nucleus that played against the Maroon andGold in South Bend, Indiana. On September 28, 1928, a del-egation of Loyola fans watched the Wolfpack battle the Irish.Athletic Director Blaise D’Antoni had developed a friend-ship with Knute Rockne and was instrumental in schedulingthe contest between the two Catholic universities.

Loyola led 6-0 at halftime, but lost the game 12-6after the Irish scored in the final minutes. Followingthe game, Rockne said, “Tell the fans of NewOrleans… tell the fans of the whole South, that theyshould be proud of this Loyola team. I have never seena better game, a game so hard fought yet so cleanlyplayed.” He also reportedly said, “Never get me another‘warm-up game’ against a team coached by that guy.”Loyola’s coach was Clark Shaughnessy. The following year,

Rockne wasasked to namethe best footballcoach andr e s p o n d e d ,“Modesty for-bids… But if Ican name thetwo best foot-ball coaches inAmerica, one of

them is going to be Clark Shaughnessy.” Later that year,Rockne inspired his team to “Win one for the Gipper.”

The Wolfpack program flourished during Shaughnessy’stenure. He later led Stanford to a Rose Bowl victory and

coached in the National Football League for theLos Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears. He is con-sidered by many to be the “father of the T forma-tion.” Tad Gormley was the team’s trainer, as wellas the school’s boxing and track coach, whileBucky Moore ’29, Don Maitland ’29, Joe Tetlow’31, Clem Sehrt, J.D. ’32, and “Zeke” Bonura’60were Shaughnessy’s impact players on the field.Bonura later played seven seasons of professionalbaseball. Moore became a member of the originalPittsburgh Steelers.

Nicknamed the “Dixie Flyer,” Moore is consid-ered the greatest football player in Loyola history. The athlet-ic tailback led the team during its undefeated 1926 campaign,breaking Illinois’ “Galloping Ghost” Red Grange’s recordsfor yardage and points in a season. The Wolfpack finished 10-0, outscoring oppo-nents 355-20. Dueto Moore’s popular-ity, the Elmer’sCandy Companynamed a candybar after him.

Loyola Stadium, located on campus near Freret Street,was the home of the Wolfpack from 1923 to 1939. At thetime of its dedication, the stadium accommodated 8,000spectators. Its capacity grew to 12,500. In 1929, it becamethe site of the first night football game held in New Orleans,between Loyola and St. Edward’s.

Bringing the ‘Pack BackIn 1965, more than 25 years after the Maroon and

Gold played their final game, four students from NewOrleans discussed the idea of continuing their footballcareers by founding a team on campus. Don DeLatte’69, Barry Escher ’66, Tommy Mandina ’66, andAllen Maresma ’66 knew that Fordham, another Jesuitinstitution, had a university-sponsored club team; sothey decided to lobby their idea to oneof the school’s deans. Unfortunately,their dream was quickly dismissed.They turned their attention to workingwith student leaders, hoping to beapproved as a student-led club organi-zation. After their tireless efforts, theLoyola Football Club became a reality.

“Loyola would allow it as long as weheld them harmless and they weren’tinvolved in it. We had to get our owninsurance and our own equipment. Itwas strictly our team,” says Escher. Anattorney was hired, insurance was pur-chased, and Don, Barry, Tommy, and Allen pressedahead with raising funds from local business leaders.Clem Sehrt, a fiery and spirited lineman for theWolfpack from 1928 to 1931, was a respected leader inthe community and became one of the first to financial-ly support the new team.

Escher recalls, “Once we started getting money, we real-ized that we had to get a team. We started passing the wordaround.” It didn’t take long for the team to swell to 55 stu-dents. One of the first students to join the club was VicHughes ’68. Hughes, a standout on the baseball team andson of Loyola Hall of Famer, “Pel” Hughes ’37, says, “Thefact that we were playing football again—it was the bestthing ever.”

The next hurdle for the club was finding an opponentto play. As Escher recalls, “The four of us went to LSUNO(now the University of New Orleans) and met their studentbody president and told them what we were doing. We said,‘We need somebody to play. Can you get a team together?’

Low and behold, that’s how the Privateers came about.” OnDecember 16, more than 5,000 fans watched the Wolfpackand Privateers tangle at Tad Gormley Stadium, named afterthe legend that had been such an integral part of the earlysuccess of the Wolfpack years earlier.

“Loyola had first-class uniforms; maroon jerseys withgold pants,” noted Charles Young ’64. He remembers,“Hap Glaudi [a local sportscaster] established UNO as thefavorite.” The Wolfpack, led by head coach Don DeLatte,were victorious, winning 21-0, a shutout, like Loyola’s inau-gural game in 1922. Following DeLatte’s stint as coach, KenSanders ’67, J.D. ’69 guided the team.

Glenn Balsamo ’72, a member of the baseball team,played quarterback and running back during the 1967 sea-son. “My greatest memory was getting to play football with

some of the guys: VicHughes, Mike Crow’68, M.B.A. ’70, J.D.’73, Ray Culotta ’68,M.E. ’73, and DickMarino ’70. Theywere a few years aheadof me in school andplayed in the highesthigh school classifica-tion,” says Balsamo,who had played at amuch smaller school.The ‘Pack eventually

took to the road against Spring Hill and Centenary.Balsamo recalls, “Getting to play in Ladd MemorialStadium, the home of the Senior Bowl, in Mobile,Alabama, was a great memory.”

After the team’s founders graduated, interest in the clubwaned following the 1969 season. Thirty years after theMaroon and Gold played their final game in LoyolaStadium against Texas Tech on December 1, 1939, theLoyola Football Club decided to put an end to Wolfpackfootball—again. For Escher, the greatest moment of thenew era came when the Loyola club looked to the past andhonored the undefeated team of 1926 at a game againstLSUNO. “These guys’ faces, they were just tickled to deathriding in convertibles, waving at everybody,” says Escher.“That, to me, was one of the whole highlights.” To this day,Loyola Football remains an important piece of the legacy ofsports in New Orleans.

For Kevin Poorman, vice chair of the LoyolaUniversity New Orleans Board of Trustees, workingwith the university is a way to keep the Jesuit tradi-tion of education relevant in an ever-changingworld. And though he and his wife, Jeanne, residein Wilmette, Ill., where Poorman is vice chair ofClassic Residence by Hyatt and executive vicepresident and general counsel of Pritzker RealtyGroup, L.P., both New Orleans and Loyola remainclose to his heart.

Poorman’s first introduction to Loyola cameseveral years ago when his daughter decided toattend the university. Having grown up in NewOrleans, and being a Jesuit High School graduate,Poorman immediately identified with Loyola andits mission.

“Jesuit education has meant a lot to me,” hesays. “I think it’s important that Loyola continuesto pass on to its students the Ignatian traditions ofthinking critically and valuing service to others.”

It is his respect for the Jesuit tradition that makesPoorman a valuable member of the Loyola Board ofTrustees, which he has been since 2004 when hisgood friend and Trustee Emeritus Donna Fraiche,J.D. ’75 asked him to join. Since then, Poorman hasserved on several board committees, includingFinance, Mission and Identity, InstitutionalAdvancement, and Trustee Membership.

“I particularly enjoyed working on the TrusteeMembership committee, since that is the commit-tee charged with the duties of assisting in locatingand educating diverse board members from allwalks of life, which is important to having adynamic and effective board,” he explains.

Having a dynamic board is vital to Loyola,since its members assist University PresidentKevin Wm. Wildes, S.J., Ph.D., with oversight andstrategic planning. “We all bring specialized talentsto the table,” says Poorman, “so I’m pleased to playa role in helping the university grow and remaincompetitive.”

The board’s current major areas of focus are onimproving the university’s academic standing andupgrading its facilities. But Poorman is also interest-ed in how the university can retain its relevance inan increasingly online world. “I believe the key is forthe university to incorporate new technology whilemaintaining its institutional values. It’s also impor-tant to get students to ‘unplug’ now and then.”

That’s why Poorman began hosting the annualChicago Summer Send-off for admitted studentsfrom the Chicago area who will be starting atLoyola in the fall. Each summer, the admitted stu-dents, their parents, current students who began atLoyola the previous year, and Chicago-area alumnigather in Poorman’s outdoor kitchen (rated as oneof the best outdoor kitchens in the country byHGTV) for good conversation and great food,especially Poorman’s barbeque ribs.

“I think it’s important for the new students to getto know their future classmates in person and hearwhat alumni have to say about Loyola,” saysPoorman. “I also enjoy cooking and entertaining, soI’m happy to host the event, but more importantly,interacting with the students and alumni brings meback to why I enjoy working with Loyola.”

With that kind of commitment, the future ofLoyola is indeed in good hands.

Global MinistryLIM expands into Mayan Belize

By Tom Ryan, Ph.D.

Jesuits, first from England and then, in the early20th century, from the Missouri Province, have hadan influential presence in Belize, a tiny country withoutsized cultural and environmental significance.

In addition to the largest barrier reef in the west-ern hemisphere, its bioregions range from mangroveswamp to mountainous rainforests. Its ethnicitiesinclude Mayan, Garifuna, Mestizo, Creole, EastIndian, and more.

Jesuit influence in this rich setting has contin-ued through the work of Loyola University NewOrleans’ Dr. Bob Thomas’s classes in Belize and Fr.Ted Dziak and the Office of Mission and Ministry’simmersion trips there. It also continues through themaster’s degrees offered by the Loyola Institute forMinistry (LIM).

In 2002, Sr. Maggie Cooper, a member of theSisters of Charity of Nazareth (SCN), was lookingfor a way to educate lay Catholics in Belize for min-istry, and she chose LIM to do so. With the Jesuits’St. John’s Junior College as sponsoring agency andwith financial support from the Missouri Jesuits,SCNs, pastors, and others, LIM has offered its

extension program throughout the country. The Belizian students’ commitment to their

studies with LIM is inspiring. The facilitators forcohort 4 in the capital Belmopan travel an houreach way for the Saturday meetings of their learn-ing groups. Past groups saw students travel by bustwo hours in each direction.

Punta Gorda is the capital of the southernmostdistrict of Toledo; it is also the least economicallywell off part of the country. Like most districts in thecountry, it has one Catholic parish, even though itis physically larger than some U.S. dioceses andmore difficult to traverse because of road conditions,especially in the rainy season.

Staffed by two Missouri Province Jesuit priests,St. Peter Claver Catholic Church in Punta Gordaserves 32 Mayan villages in the district. BecauseMass is usually only celebrated once a month or lessin the villages, the parish’s lay pastoral associatesBen Juarez (a LIM facilitator) and Karen Brustmanalso serve their spiritual and physical needs. Yet,even they are unable to keep up.

In keeping with the Catholic belief that baptism

calls all the faithful to service, including in ministe-rial positions within the church, Brustman, LIMliaison Sr. Maggie, and LIM facilitator Sr. LeonaPanton developed a religious education certifica-tion program to form lay leaders and educatorsthroughout Belize.

Two Loyola graduates—Joseph Cayetano,M.R.E. ’08 (assistant manager of Catholic schoolsin the Toledo District) and Miguel Vairez, M.R.E.’08 (administrator of San Pedro Columbia R.C.School)—have taught in the certificate programthere. It is grounded in the commitment to adultlearning methodologies that has been a hallmark ofLIM extension education for more than 25 years,and it is aligned with LIM’s commitment to incul-turation, which has been central to Catholic teach-ing since being re-articulated at the Second VaticanCouncil.

The first group to graduate from the basic pro-gram included 21 participants—principals, teach-ers, and four head catechists from schools and vil-lages around the Toledo district. The four head cat-echists have gone on to translate handouts and les-

son plans into the Mayan language Queqche and,as a result, have been able to offer their own cours-es throughout the district.

Loyola graduates have, therefore, been instru-mental in empowering lay people to teach and con-duct prayer services in the long stretches of timebetween priest visits to remote villages. Their cate-chesis is both Catholic and catholic. That is, theirwork is aligned with the teachings of the CatholicChurch, and it is also open to truth wherever it maybe found. As a result, it is respectful of and eventransformed by the spiritual and cultural riches ofthis predominantly Mayan area.

Loyola graduates have done the same through-out Belize and so have played an important role inbuilding up the Body of Christ in this country thatsees itself as both Caribbean and Central Americanand that has been blessed with such cultural andenvironmental richness.

We Are Loyola. It’s a simple statement thatconveys a powerful message. Be on the lookout forfuture spotlights in print and online of the menand women who comprise Loyola University NewOrleans and help to educate the leaders andthinkers of tomorrow.

In order to educate the best students, you needthe best faculty. That’s why Loyola University NewOrleans continues to recruit and retain not only thebrightest students, but the most accomplished facul-ty members as well.

“At the heart of any university is its faculty,” saysProvost and Vice President for Academic AffairsEdward J. Kvet, D.M.E., who has made recruitingand retaining outstanding faculty members a top pri-ority. “Since our faculty members teach at all levels,and are the ones who interact with students themost, it’s important that our Jesuit mission of educa-tion resonates with them.”

Faculty scholarship is also important to the uni-versity’s academic success, and endowed professor-ships and chairs enable faculty members to advancetheir work as teachers, scholars, and researchers intheir respective fields.

Whether they have been with the university formore than 20 years or set foot on campus for the firsttime this semester, the men and women who com-prise Loyola’s faculty are all committed to academicexcellence. Here are two faculty members who areputting Loyola’s mission into practice both in theirteaching and their scholarship.

Fall 10 30-33 10/7/10 11:53 AM Page 2


Writer, scholar, administrator—all of these titlesdescribe Katherine H. Adams, Ph.D., chair of theDepartment of English and William and AudreyHutchinson Professor of English, but one title, teacher,remains the most important one. In her 23-year career atLoyola University New Orleans, Adams has achievedmany things, but both the Loyola community and her stu-dents are what keep her motivated.

Adams, who holds a Ph.D. from Florida StateUniversity and an M.A. and a B.A. from the Universityof North Carolina, first came to Loyola in 1987 to estab-lish the Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) Center,in which students from all majors can get assistance withtheir writing assignments. The majority of the writingassistance comes from student tutors, which was a rela-tively new concept when the WAC Center opened.

“I believed in the idea that undergraduates couldhelp each other,” says Adams, who gave several pre-sentations around campus in order to get faculty onboard with the concept. “The WAC Center hasalways been a place for students, and it was an easyspace to make into a positive space.”

Today, the WAC Center, under the direction ofRobert Bell ’89, M.F.A., a former WAC tutor, remains avital component to the undergraduate experience.

But the WAC Center was just the beginning for Adams.As a dedicated scholar, her endowed professorship allows herto travel to archives and libraries where she conductsresearch that enriches her books and her teaching. Fromspending a month in Washington, D.C., researching at theLibrary of Congress to renting an apartment in Chicagowhile researching and writing, Adams has put her endowedprofessorship to good use both for Loyola and her students.

“My endowed professorship has been important for myteaching,” she explains. “I teach writing, so I need to bewriting. I don’t want to be teaching it and not doing it.”

Adams’ impressive list of book publications includesAfter the Vote Was Won: The Later Achievements of FifteenSuffragists, Alice Paul and the American Suffrage Campaign,and Controlling Representations: Depictions of Women in aMainstream Newspaper, 1900-1950, among others.

In 2007, when Mary McCay, Ph.D., former chair of theDepartment of English took on the role of interim deanfor the College of Humanities and Natural Sciences,Adams reluctantly stepped in to take her place as chair.

“I don’t view myself as an administrator, but I saw it asan opportunity to grow the department,” notes Adams.

And she has done just that. Under her leadership, theDepartment of English continues to hire outstanding fac-ulty, has established new scholarships for students, and

A Woman of Many RolesKatherine H. Adams, Ph.D., shines in all of her capacities

Fall 10 30-33 10/7/10 11:53 AM Page 3

has created anadvisory board(with notable

actors Bryan Batt and Robert Ben Garant andauthor Valerie Martin, to name a few members).

The department even launched a new major,English/film and digital media, which includes a two-semester course, Reading with the Digital Human, inwhich the students wereall provided with iPads(some of which Adamspaid for herself). If that wasn’t enough,

Adams was recentlyelected to the executivecommittee of the Modern Language Association, repre-senting the Division of Teaching Writing, an honor thatstemmed from her impressive scholarship record.Though she has proven that she is well-equipped to

take on her various roles, Adams truly shines in the posi-

tion of teacher, which she has been since first setting footon campus. Her teaching philosophy is simple. “Be posi-tive with students,” she says. “People are astonishinglymotivated by positive feedback rather than negativity.”In recognition of her work, in 2002, Adams received

the Dux Academicus Award, the highest honor a pro-fessor can receive from Loyola for excellence in teachingand scholarship, proving that she has indeed had a major

impact on the Loyolacommunity, which attract-ed her to the university inthe first place.“I like the communi-

ty environment here,”she says. “I like that

moral issues and Jesuit values are on the table, andthere is a value for education.”There is also a value for the educators, and Adams

is truly a faculty member bringing pride to Loyola inall of her many roles.


Finding the right job at the right time isn’t easy,but for new College of Business faculty memberJeffrey Krug, Ph.D., the Jack and Vada ReynoldsChair in International Business, both Loyola andNew Orleans now feel like home.Krug earned his B.A. in economics and M.S. in

international business from The PennsylvaniaState University and his Ph.D. in internationalbusiness from Indiana University. Although hestarted his studies in pre-med, a passion for thebusiness world soon took hold. “I wanted to trav-el, meet people, and learn about the worldaround me. Studying business and foreign lan-guages was a great avenue for doing these things,”explains Krug.And he certainly has done that. In addition to

speaking and writing German, Portuguese, andSpanish, Krug has a working knowledge ofFinnish, French, and Japanese. He also has lived,studied, and worked in 14 states and four foreigncountries.

Both Krug’s corporate experience and teachingcredentials are impressive. In addition to workingin banking with the Commerzbank AG inDüsseldorf, Germany, and the Austrian PostalSavings Bank in Vienna, Austria, he has held arange of management positions with TexasInstruments Incorporated and PepsiCo, Inc. Hehas also served as an external consultant withAccenture’s Organizational Strategy Group andsupervised consulting projects for more than 20firms in Europe, Latin America, and the U.S.Although he enjoyed working in the corporate

world, he soon drifted back to academia to pursuea career in teaching. “I was raised in a family thatvalued education,” says Krug. “My father earnedhis Ph.D. in economics, my grandfather was aphysician, and my great-grandmother was the firstwoman to study chemistry at Penn State in 1900.Therefore, teaching and mentoring students was anatural attraction growing up. “As a teacher, I believe we all have a moral

obligation to mentor and help develop the char-acter of our young people—in addition to con-tributing to knowledge through our research. Mymajor goal is to help my students develop intobetter thinkers.”

That’s why Loyola, with its mission of educat-ing students to think critically and to act justly,is a perfect fit forKrug. “Loyola’s Jesuitvalues and commit-ment to building stu-dents’ character werecompatible with myown view of the worldand our responsibili-ties as citizens.”

Krug has taught German and business coursesat nine universities. Most recently, he taught atVirginia Commonwealth University inRichmond, Va. He has been an adjunct professorat the University of Münster in Germany for thelast 10 years.

One of Krug’s goals as the Jack and VadaReynolds Chair in International Business, whichwas funded by a generous gift from the Jack andVada Reynolds Foundation and Bill and PamRyan, is to help establish relationships between

the New Orleans business community and foreigncountries, especially Latin America.

“I would like to contribute to the improvementof the business climate and economic develop-ment of both New Orleans and Louisiana,” saysKrug. He also hopes to create one or more execu-tive programs in Latin America.

However, Krug’s twomost important rolesare husband andfather. He and his wife,Miriam, who is fromBrazil, have raised ninenieces from Brazil andare currently raising

two children of their own—Viviane (10) andAlan (9).

“We were hesitant about moving here, but wechanged our minds after visiting New Orleans overEaster. We received such a warm welcome from thelocal community that we agreed that moving toNew Orleans was the right decision—even thoughwe’re still getting used to the humidity,” Krug says.

Although life in a new city has been an adjust-ment for them, the Krug family has come toembrace New Orleans as their home—humidityand all.

“I would like to contribute to theimprovement of the business climateand economic development of bothNew Orleans and Louisiana.”

In the early summer, the Office of Alumni Relations randomly surveyed by e-mail more than 8,500alumni, asking for help in an effort to better understand what you as alumni expect of your university andyour alumni association. The overall survey project resulted in a great response rate of 12.55%. For moreinformation about the survey results, visit alumni.loyno.edu

Loyola alumni appear pleased with their experience of the university… n Approximately 95% of respondents rated their decision to attend Loyola as “good” or “great.” n 96% rated their student experience as “excellent” or “good.” n The overall current opinion of Loyola is reported to be either “good” or “excellent” by 96% of respondents.n Because of their overall Loyola experience, 52% say they intend to invest financially in the university

and plan to continue or increase their financial contributions. …and alumni communicationsn Overall, our alumni magazines, website, and e-newsletters received high performance marks, especiallyfrom alumni who graduated prior to 2000.

n More recent graduates would like more targeted communications about the services and benefits of beingalumni, particularly through the alumni website, the university website, and social media.

…and indicate their overall alumni experience has room to improve.n Only 60% say their experience as an alumnus/a is “good” or “excellent.”n Time constraints, geographic distance, and family/job commitments are the three largest barriers to

participation in alumni activities.

n Strive to better connect and be relevant to alumni through programming and networking.n Continue to enhance the perception of “diploma equity.”

Thank you to all who participated in this survey. With your help, we will continue to enhance theLoyola alumni experience.
