March was a great month for the men\u2019s basketball team, Loyola, and of course, Sister Jean. The Women and Leadership Archives holds a collection of Sister Jean\u2019s papers from her career at Mundelein College*. You may have seen photos from Sister Jean\u2019s Mundelein days that we shared on Facebook<\/a>. While she\u2019s been a celebrity at Loyola for many years, and most students, faculty, and staff have a Sister Jean story, her recent national (pardon me, international) fame created a whole new fan base far beyond our Chicago campuses.<\/p>\n

This has been a fun and exciting time in Sister Jean\u2019s legacy, which we want to remember and preserve. In order to capture these moments, I began collecting memorabilia and capturing digital content to add to the Sister Jean collection at the WLA. The work of preserving these memories continues, but here is a small sample of some of the fun Sister Jean souvenirs and stories collected so far.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
