Restorative Justice Practices Steering Committee

Established in 2024, the Restorative Justice Practices (RJP) Steering Committee plays a critical role in sustaining and advancing restorative justice at Loyola. In close collaboration with the Office of Student Integrity and Restorative Justice Practices, the committee is responsible for:

• Recruiting, training, and supporting Loyola’s network of RJP facilitators
• Providing guidance and consultation on restorative justice practices across campus
• Helping build the capacity of our community to respond to harm and conflict in ways that are grounded in care, accountability, and repair 

The committee reflects a cross-section of campus partners committed to cultivating a community of belonging through collaborative leadership, dialogue, shared learning, and community-building.
