Last fall, when Fr. Brian Linnane accepted the post as the 24th president of Loyola College in Baltimore, Maryland he fully expected to shape his inaugural address around a commitment to a robust intellectual and academic life for the Loyola community. Instead, he delivered a speech pledging a mission driven commitment to service and social justice and announced that the academic year 2006-2007 would be the "Year of the City". What made Fr. Linnane change his focus? What responsibility does an institution have to its host city and those who live there? How can a university serve and strengthen the city it finds itself in and leave it better than it found it? Listen in as guest, Fr. Brian Linnane, SJ answers these questions and more. It is an uplifting story of one man using his position of influence to make a difference.
