SGA Senior Stories Podcast

In an email to the Loyola community on February 11th, Rev. Brian F. Linnane, S.J. announced his upcoming retirement from his role as the President of Loyola University Maryland. As a result, the team at the Senior Stories Podcast thought this would be the perfect time to ask him some questions about his 16 years on the Evergreen Campus!

This episode features The People's Champ, Adam Wagner, otherwise known as #37 on the Loyola Men's Lacrosse Team.
