Fast forward to today, as Loyola closes out its 99th year with an entering class of 380 students enrolled in 11 unique degree programs and an alumni community that totals more than 18,000 worldwide. For a century, Loyola Law School has distinguished itself through its hands-on approach to legal education and an unwavering commitment to serving others and the community.

Today we celebrate the people, moments, and memories that have shaped Loyola’s first 100 years and toast to Loyola’s future. Join us throughout the day as we reconnect the entire Loyola family on Loyola’s 100th birthday.

The Centennial Day Challenge is a one-day campaign showcasing the generosity that defines the Loyola family. In 2019, Loyola set a new record and secured 334 gifts in a single day. This year, we aim higher in honor of Loyola’s 100th birthday.
