Interim Leadership

We are pleased to announce Mr. John Stewart '60 will serve as Loyola's Interim President for the 2023-24 school year. John is proven leader who is deeply devoted to our mission, known within the extended Loyola community, and an enthusiastic ambassador for our mission. 

John most recently served as Special Assistant to the President on a part-time basis, primarily focused on assisting with alumni and benefactor outreach. He played a leading role in the success of the Ignite capital campaign as an Honorary Chair. Most notably, John devoted 47 years of service to Loyola as teacher, coach, and Dean of Students before stepping down from that role in 2014. In his interim role, he will work closely with the Board and Leadership Team to ensure that we maintain momentum and continue our community-wide commitment to excellence.
