The Den of Distinction & Rising Pack
2025 Den of Distinction Hororees.
Honoring Loyola Alumni Who Inspire, Lead, and Create Change
Since 2012, the Den of Distinction, Loyola’s School of Communication and Design alumni hall of fame, has celebrated graduates whose careers are marked by extraordinary achievement and lasting impact. These honorees are trailblazers, creative leaders, and innovators who have set new standards of excellence in their fields. Their work serves as a guiding light for our students, alumni, and the greater community, embodying the spirit and ambition of Loyola.
Alongside them, the Rising Pack wall recognizes recent graduates who are already making bold moves. These young professionals are pushing boundaries, leading with creativity, and demonstrating what’s possible in the early chapters of their careers. They are fearless storytellers, changemakers, and emerging leaders whose early accomplishments reflect the promise of Loyola’s mission.
Together, the Den of Distinction and Rising Pack walls tell a powerful story of alumni who lead with vision and courage, from the first steps of their journeys to lasting legacies of impact. They inspire future generations of Loyola students to dream big, take risks, and shape the world.
