The University Libraries is proud to announce a new video series, Alumni Author Spotlight, where brilliant Loyola alumni and affiliated authors will be featured throughout the year. The authors will share their inspirations as well as read excerpts from their work. The Alumni Author Spotlight is an extension of a special resource, Alumni Authors catalog, spearheaded by our Friends of the Libraries advisory board member, Peter Gilmour. Raising awareness of the authors’ accomplishments, encouraging the Loyola community to read diverse topics, and creating a sense of community are the goals of this project. We hope you will enjoy learning about some of Loyola’s finest alumni authors!
