About
Loyola Student Dispatch is Loyola University Chicago’s unofficial, student-run breaking news service. Its mission is to capture events on and around campus as they happen, and to inform the LUC community as quickly as possible.
Students file posts two ways:
- Originally reported and written news stories which carry the student byline on top.
- Aggregated posts attributed to the original source, with student taglines at the bottom.
The LSD logo, designed by Loyola journalism professor and designer Jessica Brown, symbolizes the effort Loyola Student Dispatch reporters put into the pursuit of the news. Mariam Pera, a journalism student, used her technical know-how to establish the site.
Check out the LSD Twitter and Facebook accounts, where we will be posting events as they happen. After the initial post, you can check out our blog right here for the full story.
We hope you enjoy reading about the Loyola news as much as we enjoy reporting it to you.
For more information about Loyola Student Dispatch, contact John Slania, Journalism Program Director, at jslania@luc.edu

Congratulations to Loyola University and it’s search committee for hiring Brian Schmisek, Ph.D. as your new Director of Pastoral Studies! I have had the pleasure of working with Dr. Schmisek in my capacity as Director of Development for both Holy Trinity Seminary in Dallas and the Museum of Biblical Art. You will find this man to be highly capable, driven to excellence in all aspects of life and filled with a deep, abiding love of his Catholic faith. These traits, along with enumerable others, will continue to set him apart as a leader in innovation–stretching faculty, students and even donors–to reach new heights. Although the Dallas and North Texas Catholic community will deeply miss his influence, we can only hope he flourishes in the beauty and academic excellence to be found at Loyola!
