Student Testimonies
Ella Cedeno
"Loyola 360 was genuinely a pivotal point in my freshman year. It was the first time I felt like I had belonged to a community. It allowed me to take a break from the busyness of the world and explore what I really value in life. I also developed healthy habits that make me feel more accomplished."
Levy Mendoza
"Loyola 360 made me recognize that my values and faith can be carried on in Loyola. I was able to deeply reflect upon how I am part of this community. Through this retreat, I learned to be present at the moment while also looking towards the future."
