OUR CATHOLIC AND IGNATIAN PRINCIPLES LEAD US TO EDU- CATE THE WHOLE PERSON—bODY, MIND AND SPIRIT—THROUGH ACADEMIC, CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES AND SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT. T his permeates the entire Loyola experience and differentiates us from other leading college- preparatory programs. It’s not just our mission—it’s our calling. St. Ignatius believed that one could learn to recognize God in all things. While many schools help students acquire knowledge, we teach them to apply it—for service and social justice. This sets 9 Loyola apart and prepares our graduates for lives of meaning. Through the Campaign for Loyola, we made a commitment to maintain—and even expand—the Jesuit identity of the school. We set out to restore and renovate Ruppert Hall, expand our on-campus Jesuit community and develop lay leadership versed in Ignatian teachings. These achievements will help us continue to pass on the ideals of St. Ignatius to our students for generations to come. IGNATIAN SPIRIT P RESERVING LOYOLA’S JESUIT HERITAGE THE CAMPAIGN FOR LOYOLA EDUCATING THE LEADERS OF ChANGE C HAPTER ONE IGNATIAN SpIRIT “It’s important to me that Loyola have the resources it needs to retain and enhance its Jesuit values, to continue to educate men for others who will lead the greater Los Angeles community and the world for generations to come.” Edward P. Roski, Jr. ’57, chair of the Ruppert Hall renovation, who with his wife, Gayle, gave $7 million to the Campaign for Loyola T he spiritual center of our campus is Ruppert Hall—completed in 1926 and the second oldest facility on campus. Home of the Jesuit community and beautiful Clougherty Chapel, the building remains a place of worship and fellowship, as well as a symbol of our longstanding commitment to Ignatian ideals. Ruppert Hall is the scene of student reconciliations, alumni gatherings and Jesuit brotherhood. And it endures as an 10 architectural treasure for all of Los Angeles. 11 The building, however, needed significant renovation. It lacked modern amenities; living spaces were hot and cramped; and the infrastructure was degrading. As the number of Jesuits continues to decline nationwide and, with most of the other Jesuit residences in the California Province already upgraded, it became clear that, without better living quarters, Loyola could begin to have difficulty competing for Jesuits. Strengthening and expanding the Ignatian education of the lay leadership also had become a priority. T hrough the campaign, we refurbished the Jesuit residence to create 12 Jesuit bedroom suites with private bathrooms and study areas, as well as two guest rooms with private bathrooms and a guest office across the hall. We added a Jesuit dining room for communal meals. We made the choir loft more private for use as the Jesuit community chapel. We repaired the building’s “envelope”—its roof and brickwork—and upgraded the electrical, plumbing and lighting systems—as well as all restrooms—throughout. We installed central air-conditioning throughout the building, and reconfigured and renovated the second-floor advancement offices. After Ruppert Hall’s renovation, the California Province designated Loyola an inter-apostolic community, with Jesuits from Verbum Dei High School residing with the Loyola High School Jesuit community. The number of Jesuits on campus grew from five before the restoration project to 11 afterward. The Campaign for Loyola garnered endowment support for the Adult Spirituality Program, which pro- Beyond providing for ongoing Jesuit leadership for the school, we also recognized the need to foster and vides a wide range of offerings, such as Busy Person Retreats, colloquia for mid-career teachers in various build upon the Ignatian tradition of lay/Jesuit partnership—which began at the very founding of the Jesuit disciplines, days of prayer and reflection, and Ignatian conversations.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR LOYOLA EDUCATING THE LEADERS OF ChANGE C HAPTER 2 A SK ANY GRADUATE OF LOYOLA HIGH ScHOOL WHAT MADE THE BIGGEST IMPACT ON HIS TIME HERE. MOST LIKELY HE WILL SAY IT WAS A TEACHER. T he talented men and women who comprise Loyola’s faculty are among the most accomplished teachers in the nation. Our faculty go above and beyond to ensure students succeed academically, socially, spiritually and professionally. They serve as mentors, role models, advisors and coaches dedicated to educating the whole person. This enthusiasm ignites student interest in learning and inspires young men to achieve. B ut to continue Loyola’s tradition of academic excellence, the school had to become more competitive in attracting, retaining and developing faculty and staff. Through the campaign, we set out to provide 12 13 our extraordinary faculty with the tools they need: competitive salaries and benefits, professional- development opportunities, curricula enhancements, technology training and up-to-date facilities. W ith these tools in place, Loyola now is positioned to continue attracting the very best teachers. A nd our faculty are able to elevate their teaching—and therefore student learning—to an even higher level.

Creative Commons License Intertextual Dialogue and Humanization in David Simon’s The Corner 1 Intertextual Dialogue and Humanization in David Simon’s The Corner Mikkel Jensen 1 From the very beginning it is clear that the HBO miniseries The Corner is a political television series. Its first scene shows its director Charles S. Dutton standing against a wall in Western Baltimore talking about the prevalence of open air drug markets across major cities in America. This is, he tells us, “the information center of the neighborhood” but also “the place of death, of addiction or the suddenness of gunshots.” In Dutton’s words, The Corner is a story about “the men, women, and children living in the midst of the drug trade” whose “voices are too rarely heard” (episode one). By presenting this miniseries as a counter narrative to a media culture that has its focus elsewhere, the show offers its raison d’être in its examination of a group of marginalized people and the circumstances under which they live.
