Loyola Lagniappe
Loyola Lagniappe, an optional program named after the Creole French word “lagniappe” (lan-yap), offers first year students and their families “a little something extra” during the summer months. Students and families can visit Loyola University before the official orientation program, Wolfpack Welcome, to attend signature programs that engage both students and parents. Students attend sample faculty lectures, begin to discuss their strengths, and talk with some of their incoming classmates about issues relevant in a larger global context. Families learn basic information to help their student succeed academically and socially at Loyola. At the end of the Lagniappe program, students and families leave with a confirmed class schedule and a broader understanding of Loyola’s culture.
