The weather was warm and spirits were high on Monday afternoon as hundreds of Loyola seniors gathered on the East Quad to celebrate their achievements at Senior Toast. The Class of 2026 took their final walk through the Cudahy Library doors and held their glasses high as Provost Douglas W. Woods toasted to their time at Loyola and embarking on new beginnings.
