Retired faculty/staff join in campaign

Invitations to all retired members of the university faculty and staff were sent last month to give them an opportunity to join the Thresholds campaign. The response was outstanding, and pledges continue to be received on a daily basis. Of the first 11 responses, 10 were at the level which will enable Loyola retirees to place their names upon inscribed bricks which will make up the walkway in front of the new J. Edgar and Louise S. Monroe Memorial Library. The total for the faculty/staff campaign is now at $440,826. We continue to urge anyone who has not yet contributed to the campaign to do so.
