"Since coming to Loyola in 2005, I have seen many changes to the university including the addition of online degree programs in recent years. Offering individuals across the country an opportunity to get a degree from Loyola University New Orleans has been one of our most important and valuable changes in my opinion. As someone who worked in corporate America for many years and then went back to get my doctoral degree later in life, I appreciate the opportunity for individuals to rethink and reinvent themselves in terms of their careers and life goals. Teaching in our online management program has given me the opportunity to work with students who have chosen to pursue a different path from what they thought their life might be and that is both rewarding and exciting to me."
Each issue we will feature an online student or faculty/staff member who embodies the Ignatian ideals of faith, truth, justice, and service in our online community. If you'd like to nominate someone, please contact ssconlinega@loyno.edu to share who and why you think deserves to be in the spotlight.
