Office of Mission & Identity

The Office of Mission & Identity at Loyola University New Orleans fosters our Jesuit and Catholic mission and identity.

In partnership with university administration, students, faculty, and staff, the Office of Mission & Identity promotes a vision and culture inspired by the Ignatian Tradition.

Committed to our common human dignity and to the goodness of all creation, we are inspired by the Jesuit and Catholic vision that sees that "The world is charged with the grandeur of God." We are on the lookout for truth, goodness, and beauty wherever they may be found, including in the diversity of faith traditions and in people of every culture, race, language, and economic status.

Whether you're seeking involvement or answers to a question, we'd love to hear from you. Drop by our office in Marquette Room 242. We have books and other materials related to Loyola's mission and identity we can share with you.
