Second Century Campaign
Successful Science Initiative brings 21st-century science labs to Loyola Academy
In the coming year, we will be constructing our final science lab—a milestone that marks the successful completion of our Second Century Campaign Science Initiative.
“It has been wonderful to see the Loyola community so energized and committed to helping us achieve this goal,” states Vice President of Advancement Robert O. Miller. “Thanks to the generous benefactors who have supported our Science Initiative, we have raised the $2.82 million necessary to advance our tradition of excellence in science teaching and learning, promote a high level of scientific literacy in our student population and accommodate best practices in science education in the 21st century.”
