He was 84.

    THE MAGAZINE OF LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO WINTER 2012 Mundelein reborn PLUS PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2012 n HOMECOMING WELcome FROM THE PRESIDENT And CEO MICHAEL J. GARANZINI, S.J. Our world is a changing one. As we look at the world that our present students will inherit, we know that they will live in communities and participate in workplaces that are increasingly a mix of cultures, races, creeds, and values. We can see that technology will offer more and more information, and perhaps less and less analysis. We can envision a furthering of environmental degradation and depletion of the planet’s resources. And we anticipate that growing financial and educational gaps between and among different constituents in our societies will lead to even more political and social strife and upheaval around our worlds. Fundamentally, all education is about preparing students for their own future. It is about helping them become critical thinkers who can absorb and create new knowledge. It is about giving them the skills to lead and serve in the world they’re going to inhabit—in a world that will need their leadership.

As we move into a new year and a new decade, we here at Loyola approach our mission with renewed enthusiasm and vigor. I In this issue of Loyola magazine, we honor a gift unusual not only in its magnitude, but in its scope. The Cuneo family and foundation have given Loyola a treasured piece of American history in their Vernon Hills estate, as well as an investment in the future of the University. Read about this unique and monumental gift on page 10. In the first 10 years of the new millennium, Loyola University Chicago has changed in many ways, both great and small. We have seen the blossoming of our campuses, the continued excellence of our academic programs, and the undertaking of an ambitious capital campaign under dynamic University leadership. But despite Loyola’s great progress, we know that what really sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to the educational mission started by the first Jesuits. Loyola will continue to evolve in the coming years, but our vision and values are constant. Happy new year. May 2010 bring good things to you and your family.
