The Loyola University Chicago chapter of Alpha Sigma Nu, the international honor society of Jesuit colleges and universities, inducted 167 new members on November 9, including 50 juniors, 54 seniors, and 63 graduate and professional students from the 11 schools and the Institute of Pastoral Studies.

Only 5% of each class may be inducted each year. The three tenets of Alpha Sigma Nu are Scholarship, Loyalty, and Service. Candidates are nominated and recommended by their respective college, school, or institute, and recommendations are not only based on students' academic achievements, but also on their loyalty to the ideals of Jesuit education and their engagement in service. Membership in Alpha Sigma Nu is one of the highest recognitions bestowed by Loyola.
This year, the Loyola Chicago chapter also recognized four individuals with honorary membership: Jennifer R. Wozniak Boyle (PhD '02, MA '95), Senior Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Director of Operations, Arrupe College of Loyola University Chicago; Todd Malone, Associate Vice President and Dean of Undergraduate Admission, Loyola University Chicago; Omer Mozaffar, Muslim Chaplain and Advanced Lecturer in Theology, Loyola University Chicago; and Clement Martin (MEd '00), President & CEO, Christ the King Jesuit College Prep. Martin delivered the ceremony's keynote address as the Induction Ceremony Speaker, welcoming new members to the society.
In addition to welcoming its new members, the Loyola Chicago chapter awarded the annual Alpha Sigma Nu Scholarship to Madelyn Kenny of the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing. Finally, the Rev. Ronald J. Ferguson, S.J. Award for Most Outstanding New Inductee, sponsored by Loyola's Jesuit Community, was awarded to Falak Choudry of the Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health.
Alpha Sigma Nu is the Jesuit Honor Society with chapters at the 27 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States and six abroad. It is the only honor society permitted to bear the name Jesuit. To learn more about Alpha Sigma Nu, visit our website here.
