Spirit of Laudato Si' Sustainability Awards
Excellence Awards Ceremony - Spirit of Laudato si’ Sustainability Awards
Since 2019, Student Development has partnered with the Office of Sustainability to recognize students expressing leadership on Loyola’s value of sustainability. As a key aspect of Loyola’s mission of social justice, we award two to four students each year during the Weekend of Excellence. Attention is paid to efforts that address the social, economic, and environmental aspects of sustainability and embrace the ‘integral ecology’ framework called for in Pope Francis’ Encyclical on Ecology, Laudato si’.
Sustainability in Service – This recognition rewards students for their efforts to implement sustainability on campus or in community.
Sustainability in Learning – This recognition rewards students for their efforts incorporating sustainability into their academic experience through research, publication, or coursework advancing sustainability knowledge.
