Student Spotlight: Victoria Figueroa Roman, ’26
This Greyhound’s Loyola story reflects her vast interests and embraces the magis, the more
Loyola has taught me that growth doesn’t happen in silence or the familiar, but when you take risks, listen actively, and embrace challenges with an open heart.
Victoria Figueroa Roman, ’26, a marketing major from Abingdon, Maryland, wears many hats on campus. Whether reviewing résumés at the Rizzo Career Center, celebrating culture within the Association of Latinx Students, or studying abroad in Belgium, Figueroa Roman’s Loyola story reflects her vast interests and embraces the magis, the more.
“Growing up with my dad in the military, I never had a concrete place to call home. When I walked onto the Evergreen campus, I knew I had made it to the place I was supposed to be all along,” Figueroa Roman reflected.
I wouldn’t be the student I am today if it wasn’t for the values and support from my family.

As a Sellinger Scholar, Figueroa Roman secured an internship with a Baltimore-based company, Los Hermanos Tequila, during her first-year accounting class. After impressing the CEO with her coursework, she was hired and encouraged to contribute to the business’s marketing strategy.
