Magis Moment: August 2022
A Message from the Vice President of University Advancement听
Loyola鈥檚 Advancement staff has been housed in Greenville Hall for four decades or so. That鈥檚 changing in the coming weeks, and we have been busy preparing for a move to Marquette Hall.听
Our staff has spent the summer learning very practically what healthy indifference means when it comes to material things (including paper documents). If you鈥檝e moved anytime recently, or if you鈥檝e suffered a disaster at your home like a hurricane, flood, tornado, or wildfire, I imagine you know what I鈥檓 talking about. A move or physical loss forces us to reconsider our approach to the objects around us.
Do I really need this thing (a half-broken stapler, a chair that provokes nostalgia, an old handwritten note from an alumna) to accomplish my purpose and realize my calling? My Loyola colleagues have had to ask this kind of question听hundreds of times over the summer, and we are not done yet.
It鈥檚 been a great run on the Broadway Campus. We鈥檝e done so much good work and held so many important events in Greenville鈥攎eetings of the Board of Trustees, alumni meetings and events, Masses, baptisms, at least one first-rate wine tasting,听and so much more. We look forward to seeing you in Marquette Hall this fall鈥攕econd floor, up the hall from the President鈥檚 Suite. I think you鈥檒l find a Loyola Advancement team with new eyes and a clearer vision about what is essential and what is not.
础惭顿骋,听
