The Loyola University Chicago President’s Ball is an annual semi-formal event, which celebrates the accomplishments of the President’s Medallion recipients.  One medallion recipient is selected from each of Loyola’s 14 colleges; Arrupe College, School of Continuing and Professional Studies, Quinlan School of Business, The Graduate School, Stritch School of Medicine, School of Law, Institute of Pastoral Studies, Institute of Environmental Sustainability, Parkinson School of Health Sciences and Public Health, School of Education, School of Communication, College of Arts & Sciences, Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, and School of Social Work.

Originally, the President’s Medallions were presented during the President’s Ball, a semi-formal dance held in November of each year.  The custom has now evolved to presentation of the President’s Medallions earlier in the day at a private reception, dinner, and ceremony.  Following this ceremony, the President’s Ball is held to honor President’s Medallion Recipients. Tickets are sold to currently enrolled students.  A student can also purchase a ticket for their guest. Tickets are $15 each.
