Cory Bright

Cory is a proven leader at Loyola, participating at events for prospective students, volunteering at new student orientations, serving as a peer advisor in his school’s introductory course “Introduction to Degree Completion,” and working on several search committees.

While pursuing his degree, Cory has kept his job as a flight attendant for United Airlines, where he has worked for 12 years and previously spent almost 10 years as an in-flight supervisor and manager, leading teams of flight attendants and ensuring strong in-flight performance and job satisfaction. Cory also has helped organize United’s Fantasy Flight event, which offers children in need a special in-flight experience.

As a volunteer, Cory has maintained a long-term commitment to the Ronald McDonald House, dating to his high school days in Ohio, and he has volunteered at the Chicago Food Depository.

Cory points to magis as being a lesson from Loyola that guides him through his life and career: "A valuable lesson I have taken from my time at Loyola is that of magis. The very first class I took at Loyola was Ignatian Traditions, and on day one, we learned that doing more for others is doing more for God, as God is found in all things. I try to remember this in all things I do, each day."
