Since the inception of the Jerome S. Cardin Memorial Lecture 27 years ago, Loyola has been host to a variety of engaging speakers discussing topics that bring together the Jewish and Christian communities. This year marks the 25th Jerome S. Cardin Memorial Lecture at Loyola University Maryland. Here is a look back at the lectures that have enriched the educational experience for Loyola students and provided a forum for important discussion in our community…
