About The Office of Global and Community Engagement

Office of Global and Community Engagement (OGCE)

Global and local engagement are interwoven as foundational aspects of Jesuit education. At Loyola, these areas of engagement come together under one office to align with that tradition.

The Office of Global and Community Engagement is home to 11 centers, offices, and programs, including Loyola’s global center in Rome. Global Engagement, Community Engagement, and the Fellowship Office support outreach efforts across these centers, offices, and programs.
