Book Swap
This is no Barnes & Nobles, Borders (R.I.P.), nor Ukazoo. What we've got here is an old school BOOK SWAP! Bring your books to the market this Wednesday to trade and check out our selection one last time before all the books are donated to the Govans Library!

Bring your beach chairs to set up on the urban beach and enjoy an assortment of music from local artists!

Catch a cooking demonstration from United Healthcare's Chef Gayle and grab a bite while supplies last!

In remembrance of 9/11






Although we celebrate, we must also remember a day that shaped our history.  We invite you to join us at 8:00pm in the Loyola Alumni Chapel on Loyola's Main Campus for a Peace Vigil to continue our grieving as a country and remember the lives of those who were lost.  If you can't make it that evening, pledge to perform a good deed that day in observance of 9/11.  "Good deeds unite us through positive action."
