ANNUAL REPORT 2017-18

ARRUPE IS A TWO-YEAR COLLEGE of Loyola University Chicago that continues the Jesuit

tradition of offering a rigorous liberal arts education to a diverse population, many of

whom are the first in their family to pursue higher education.

Using an innovative model that ensures affordability while providing care for the

whole person—intellectually, morally, and spiritually—Arrupe prepares its graduates to

continue on to a bachelor’s program or move into meaningful employment. Heeding

the call of its namesake, renowned Jesuit leader Pedro Arrupe, S.J., the college inspires

its students to strive for excellence, work for justice, and become “persons for others.”

ARRUPE’S MISSION


A TRIPTYCH IS A WORK of art consisting of three scenes or panels hinged together. At a recent Arrupe board meeting, our board of directors experienced a triptych, a work of art hinged together by our students.

Early in our meeting, our college placement director, Julie Garcia, presented on our graduates. We have graduated two classes from Arrupe since we opened in 2015; 87 percent of our grads continue at four-year colleges and universities. Of our first cohort of graduates, 92 percent have started their fourth year of undergrad and are close to earning their bachelor’s degrees. Our newest alumni are continuing their studies at Lake Forest and Loras, University of Illinois Champaign–Urbana and University of Southern California, DePaul and Dominican, Marquette and University of Detroit–Mercy, Loyola University Maryland, and Loyola University Chicago.

Julie introduced Arrupe sophomores Cyan and Tempelle, two of our many students who have participated in college tours with Julie. They described overnight visits to Saint Louis University and University of Wisconsin–Madison, as well as day trips to several Chicagoland colleges. Board members were impressed with the students’ confidence and sense of purpose.

We shifted our attention to Jesuit scholastic Eric Immel’s presentation on Summer Orientation for incoming

freshmen at Arrupe—the second panel of our triptych. Eric, our associate dean for student success, reported on our two-part orientation program: a retreat experience at Loyola’s Retreat and Ecology Campus in Woodstock, IL, and our on-campus orientation at Arrupe. Our newest students build community, learn about the keys to college success, meet with their academic advisors, and set goals for their first semester at Arrupe. They also have a great time. Several freshmen asked, “Can we do this again?” while others stated simply, “It was the best time of my life.”

Summer Orientation is facilitated by our sophomores. Four orientation leaders—Lady, Jacque, Amber, and Destiny—attended our board meeting. Lady described how she helped the students in her groups learn each other’s names. Jacque recalled how important orientation had been for him and how he wanted the incoming students to have a similarly positive experience. Amber emphasized the value of the small group interactions to help new students feel like they belong in college. Destiny talked about leadership, saying, “I always thought I could be a leader, and this was my opportunity.”

We then visited Arrupe’s new visual art studio—the third and final scene of the triptych. Fine Arts Professor Susannah Strang guided board members through the studio’s tech features, with which three of our art students—

Jamareon, Joss, and Lourdes—exhibited great proficiency. Jamareon and Joss described various art assignments displayed in the studio. Lourdes serves as an assistant to Susannah Strang.

A triptych is a work of art consisting of three scenes. Our board members experienced our students—works of art in their own right—hinging together our board meeting. Students who are well supported to explore post-Arrupe options. Orientation leaders who welcome and introduce freshmen to Arrupe College. Artists who can create and collaborate with talented faculty in a beautiful art studio. A triptych of Arrupe College.

The studio wouldn’t exist were it not for the generosity of friends like you. There would be no overnight visits to four-year schools, nor would there be a retreat experience for incoming freshmen. On behalf of our students and my colleagues, many thanks. To paraphrase orientation leader Destiny, you took the opportunity to be a leader. Thank you for your leadership at Arrupe College.

God’s blessings,

DEAR FRIENDS OF ARRUPE COLLEGE,

Fr. Steve Katsouros, S.J.Founding Dean and Executive Director Arrupe College of Loyola University Chicago


ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR Student Success Eric Immel, S.J. (MS ’16) has the most unpredictable job in the building, so says Arrupe College Founding Dean and Executive Director Fr. Steve Katsouros, S.J.

Immel’s office is a consistent source of stability and support for any situation a student may encounter, and his team works in concert with all faculty and staff to answer any questions or resolve any problems students might face. His team has a deep well of experience to help provide students with the direction they need to succeed, including two licensed clinical social workers.

“We do our best to respond with a robust system of support,” Immel said from his office in Maguire Hall at the Water Tower Campus.

His job is a mix of confidant, cheerleader, advocate, supervisor, mediator, adjudicator, and teacher. He comes well prepared.

Now in his seventh year of Jesuit formation, Immel hails from Green Bay (and, yes, he’s a Packers fan). He earned a master’s in educational leadership and policy analysis from the University of Wisconsin to prepare himself for service in higher education administration. He received another master’s in social philosophy at Loyola. When Arrupe opened its doors in 2015, Immel began volunteering one day a week. In 2016, he was asked to serve as assistant dean for

student success, and, in the middle of 2017, he took on the role of associate dean.

“Eric’s intelligence, energy, and enthusiasm for Arrupe, our mission, and our students combine to make him an invaluable member of our community,” said Fr. Katsouros. “His life-changing care for our students exemplifies the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis, or care for the whole person.”

While Immel’s plate is full, he always finds time for everyone. “There is little more important in my life than being present to the person in front of me seeking my help,” he said.

The Office of Student Services offers many programs and opportunities to ensure students get a rich collegiate experience. “We want them to imagine what their lives will become, examine their deep desires, and explore ways to frame their experience,” Immel said.

“My experience at Loyola and at Arrupe has shown me the power of companionship, and it also has deepened my sense of awareness of who I am,” said Immel. “It’s taught me how to listen better and how to show as much compassion as possible by recognizing everyone has an individual story. I hope to be patient and make comfortable whoever is at my door. My time at Arrupe is a gift.”

“IF HIS DOOR IS OPEN, SOMEONE IS COMING IN.”

My hope is that Arrupe

students know what

I know: that they are

children of God, perfectly

made and deserving

of everything good the

world can offer.”

— ERIC IMMEL, S.J. ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR STUDENT SUCCESS

MARIO BERMEJO (AA ‘18) first became interested in mechanical engineering as a sophomore at Chicago Academy High School when his classroom won a schoolwide bridge-building contest.

“I was always fascinated by the internal workings of things, and that drove me into engineering,” said the Arrupe College graduate and current junior in mechanical engineering at Loyola University Maryland.

His guidance counselor and two former classmates who were enrolled in the newly opened Arrupe College convinced him to check out the school in 2016. He is glad he did.

The first-generation college student, who originally hails from Mexico, credits his parents and all that he learned at Arrupe for giving him a solid educational foundation.

“I received the Arrupe Scholarship and the Mazza Foundation Scholarship to attend Arrupe,” he said in his dorm room in Baltimore. A typical busy student, Bermejo was part of the Dreamers and Allies Student Organization, which seeks to create community and advocate for just immigration reform in the United States, and he was a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society. He worked at a Jiffy Lube near his house to help pay for school.

Bermejo credits Minerva Ahumada, PhD, clinical assistant professor of philosophy, for teaching him to be an advocate in the Latino community and for himself.

“We learned about Plato and Aristotle, and she taught me to think about the essence of life—its purpose, my values, and how society is shaped,” said Bermejo. “It was transformational to realize that our thoughts are connected to those same concepts as philosophers living centuries ago. She taught me other perspectives.”

Bermejo also is grateful to Kate Nissan, clinical assistant professor of mathematics, who taught him math alternatives. “She pushed me to put in the extra work needed to succeed and to develop good study habits for exams,” he said. “I still write out my homework in a notebook. It helps me memorize and is another way to see the math concepts on paper. She also prepared me for the calculus courses here.”

In addition to learning and practicing the Jesuit value of cura personalis, Arrupe also taught Bermejo how to navigate college. “With two years of college already under my belt, I know how to conduct research, am up to speed on my math, and came to this four-year institution well prepared to

jump right into my junior year,” he said.“Mario Bermejo is committed—to his

studies, to his family, to his community, and to Jesuit education,” said Fr. Steve Katsouros, S.J., Arrupe College’s founding dean and executive director. “He was an outstanding member of our community at Arrupe, and I am certain he will be a high-impact player at Loyola University Maryland. They are lucky to benefit from his goodness, intelligence, and energy.”

WHEN RECENT ARRUPE College graduate Sanay Ma (AA ’18) left her native Burma with her parents in 2007 through a U.N.-sponsored refugee resettlement program, she was fleeing from ethnic persecution and began a new life.

She and her parents relocated to Rogers Park when Ma was 10. After graduating from Josephinum Academy of the Sacred Heart in Wicker Park, she reached out to her former high school counselor, Julie Garcia, who was now working as Arrupe College’s placement director. Garcia encouraged Ma to apply.

“Sanay is extremely bright,” said Garcia. “In high school, I always knew that she had incredible academic potential, so I was happy she came to Arrupe. She flourished here and will, without a doubt, go on to do great things.”

Ma credits Arrupe for giving her a second chance at a better future. “I am forever grateful, because now I am at Loyola,” Ma said in the dorm room she shares with friend and fellow Arrupe graduate Neerida Akakpo (AA ’18). Both are now juniors at Loyola University Chicago.

Inspired by the challenges she has faced on the unique path that led her halfway around the world in pursuit of education, she plans to go to law

school. “My goal is to work for the FBI after I get my law degree,” Ma said. “I want to make positive changes in people’s lives and think I could do that through the criminal justice system.”

Ma, who gained U.S. citizenship in 2017, attended Arrupe with scholarship support. She currently helps local children with their homework through the Burmese Ministry Program at St. Paul’s by the Lake in Rogers Park, and she used to tutor for the Asian Human Services organization on the city’s Northwest Side during her time at Arrupe. She has volunteered and been paid to translate English for the Burmese community as well at the Cook County Juvenile Courthouse, and she served as vice president of scholarships for Beta Phi Pi, the Phi Theta Kappa chapter at Arrupe. In addition to belonging to Loyola’s Pre-Law Society and its Criminal Justice Student Organization, she is a member of the FBI Chicago City Citizens Academy for Students.

Budgeting her time is a top priority since she’s enrolled in seven courses this semester and interning for both the Cook County Sheriff’s legal department—where she conducts legal research and is getting a first-hand look at the U.S. court system by attending hearings—and for the Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic Schools, where she

performs administrative duties. “Arrupe taught me the awareness of

world issues,” said Ma. “I plan to use my education to contribute and participate in the social justice issues I believe in.”

“Sanay exemplifies resilience,” said Fr. Steve Katsouros, S.J., Arrupe College’s founding dean and executive director. She has navigated much more than most young adults—and the result of that navigation is an outstanding young woman who embraces challenges and succeeds.”

FROM REFUGEE TO CITIZEN OF THE WORLD

Arrupe taught me the

awareness of world

issues. I plan to use my

education to contribute

and participate in the

social justice issues I

believe in.”—SANAY MA (AA ’18) JUNIOR, LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO

LAST APRIL, THE Chicago-based Robert R. McCormick Foundation gave Arrupe College a $1.5 million gift to support diversity and student-success programming. The gift will enable the college to fund three positions: an assistant dean for student success and two full-time faculty members, all of whom will support the Black Men for Success Program (BMS).

BMS aims to holistically address the challenge of student retention among African American male students by providing them with academic support, social-emotional mentoring, and career counseling. Launched in fall 2017, the program cultivates academic and personal excellence amongst African American males in an intergenerational safe space.

Grounded by intersectional cultural histories and values, BMS fosters educational development, professional engagement, and black male identities. Through mentorship, reflection, scholarship, and community engagement, BMS enables Arrupe’s black male leaders to hone their abilities and chart scholastic and professional courses at Arrupe and beyond. Participation includes

bi-monthly meetings, academic coaches, and a mentorship program that is led by African American male professionals who are either external volunteers working in various industries or students from Loyola’s School of Law.

“We invite a diverse group of professionals to speak on topics aimed at helping our mentees be successful,” said Jalen Brown, a third-year Loyola law student and mentor. “We also give them career advice. I think they like having a group of people who support them and want them to succeed.”

The McCormick Foundation grant—which will also fund speakers, conferences, and events for BMS—will be administered over a three-year period, ending in June 2021.

“Arrupe’s strategic goal to recruit and retain African American male students aligns with the McCormick Foundation’s efforts to facilitate opportunities for the underserved black population of Chicago,” said Fr. Steve Katsouros, S.J., founding dean and executive director of Arrupe College. “This is another game-changer brought to us by McCormick, whose first gift to us for $1 million in 2015

encouraged others to invest in our startup college.” That transformational initial gift helped fund operating expenses and provided scholarships for 29 McCormick Foundation Scholars.

“All of us at Arrupe are extremely grateful to McCormick,” he added.
