A Streetcar Named Inspire
Near the Peace Quad at the heart of Loyola's main campus stands a decorated streetcar installation donated by the Class of 2008. Along its base runs the inscription "WE MADE IT," the inspiration for this project's title. Today, it symbolizes the shared resilience of a university and a city moving forward together.

Texas National Guard At Loyola
In the weeks following Hurricane Katrina, nearly 2,100 members of the Texas National Guard were deployed to New Orleans, including to Loyola University's campus. While based at Loyola, the Guard assisted citywide with triage at the Convention Center, the distribution of supplies, debris clearing, and other vital civil support operations during the recovery.
