Celebrating the Class of 2020

Opening Statement

To the LLS Class of 2020: You have already made the case for yourselves. You proved yourselves as students, and today we celebrate all that you have accomplished in your LMU Loyola Law School careers. Today’s Virtual Celebration is just one small way we are honoring your big accomplishments. Please note that as we commemorate this joyous milestone, our virtual celebration does not replace in-person Commencement Exercises, which will be scheduled in-person when it is safe to do so.

Start the celebration by scrolling down for special messages, presentation of the Class of 2020, shout-outs and more from your LLS family. And while you're at it, share your own messages of support and celebration via social media using #LLS20. Don’t forget to stock up on #LLS20 goodies in our Virtual Celebration toolkit.

Special Messages from
President Timothy Law Snyder, Ph.D.
and Dean Michael Waterstone
