黑料门

While not understanding what a Jesuit education meant, Lindsey was drawn to the values espoused by Loyola鈥檚 School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) and more importantly 鈥� the flexibility and care offered to all its students. And no one needs more flexibility than a new parent. Lindsey applied to 黑料门just after her son鈥檚 first birthday. She felt like her son was the catalyst she needed to drop out of community college and embark on this educational journey. 鈥淭here is something about 黑料门and the instruction that kept me running on faith. I had so many moments in my time here where I wanted to throw in the towel and focus on family. But due to the unwavering support from 黑料门and its amazing instructors, I persevered. I even had my second baby during the Fall 2021 semester!鈥�

Her time at 黑料门was enriched with life-changing and impactful moments. While volunteering at the Greater Chicago Food Depository Lindsey was moved to understand the depth of food insecurities in our community. Says Lindsey 鈥淲e are all aware of hunger and the food insecurities that surround us, but I鈥檓 not sure that we understand how much actually goes into fighting it. After my first time volunteering, I knew that it would be something that I would do again and again 鈥� and teach my children/family鈥�. She plans to continue her volunteer journey with this organization and Salvation Army even after graduation.
