Society of the Shield
The Society of Shield honors and recognizes alumni, friends, and parents who have generously supported Loyola University Chicago through their estate plans or a deferred gift. Legacy gifts support critical areas of need at Loyola: student scholarships, faculty research, and programs that keep our campus vibrant and exciting.
“As a member of the Society of the Shield, you join a company of alumni, family, and friends, who, through their vital commitment and deep dedication, will ensure that Loyola continues to be a leader in Jesuit education and fulfills its promise of ’preparing people to lead extraordinary lives“.” - Michael J. Garanzini, S.J., President, Loyola University Chicago
