Welcome!

As we embark on a new year, I want to thank you for choosing Loyola New Orleans, specifically the College of Nursing and Health. You have entrusted the faculty and administration with the crucial responsibility of walking alongside you as you take these important steps towards your future. With a firm commitment to the Jesuit principle of cura personalis or “care for the whole person”, our faculty are dedicated to the principle of health in mind, body, and spirit. Living (and learning) in an environment underpinned by the Ignatian values of service, faith, and leadership will prepare you well for a life and career that will serve you, your family, your community, and your world in the most meaningful way.

Whichever of our programs you are studying in, know that our committed and renowned faculty value nurturing you through this experience. I look forward to being on this journey with you, as do all of the faculty who are dedicated to your success. Thank you, again, for choosing Loyola for this part of your life’s journey.
