April 14, 2023
Greetings, Everyone:
What a beautiful April thus far—the DFPA will soon be in full bloom, even if we are rushing the season a bit horticulturally…
Count below no less than 12 concert, recital and performance events in the Mundelein Center and PianoForte Chicago, as well as the Senior Exhibition of studio arts and visual communications in the Ralph Arnold Gallery. It’s the time of year for us to show off a bit, to display what we’ve been working on throughout the dark winter, and to invite our community, our parents and friends, into our spaces as we finish our academic work. The month of May presents us with much transition—whether we’re staying or moving on from Loyola—and we can embrace and celebrate those transitions when the time comes.
In the meanwhile, let’s take time to finish strong—to show off our efforts—and to enjoy Spring! Here’s a little inspiration from the BBC:

Enterprise Learning Hub
We'd like to encourage all Faculty and Staff, as part of your pre-semester preparation, to check in at the Enterprise Learning Hub, where lives access to any of the required online training sessions about which we often receive reminders or announcements. We ask you to keep up with those required sessions, and complete them in timely fashion so we don’t have to track you down (knowing that the ultimate penalty for non-compliance is removal from email and university systems). I hope we will be able to continue to benefit from the information we get from these relatively painless obligations.
