<p>As an alum of Loyola College, I received an email from Fr. Linanne last night saying that the Board of Trustees had given the go ahead to start the process of renaming the College to Loyola University of Maryland. It appears from the letter that this change will occur over the summer before the fall semester begins. However, he did leave the door very slightly open to the possibility of this not happening, there is little doubt in my mind that it will happen. WELCOME to LOYOLA UNIVERSITY!</p>
<p>Hope it goes thru. My D thinks it is a more impressive name. She is getting more excited everyday. Maybe they will mention tomorrow at the accepted student day. We will be there checking everything out again. </p>
<p>I don't know who is more excitedm my D or me. I fell like I am the one going (I went to work after high school and did community college as an adult.)</p>
<p>Thanks for all the updates and info. Didn't know you were an alum too.</p>
<p>I've heard a lot more people against this than for this on campus, including myself.</p>
