You never know where you’ll run into a Duhawk! 🦅

Our alumni, students, friends, and family love to explore and Summer 2026 took our Duhawks to some incredible places! From the Great Wall of China and the Eiffel Tower to the coasts of Ireland and even the Mississippi River in our own backyard, they were proudly repping our home away from home. Who knows, they maybe even heard a friendly “Du What?!” along the way.

Where did Summer 2026 take you? Share a photo in the comments below! 📸💜

Duhawks in Action 🦅

Brady Oberfoell (’28) recently wrapped up his summer internship with the City of Dubuque. From getting a behind-the-scenes look at his hometown to putting his Creative Media education into action, Brady gained valuable hands-on experience while doing what he loves. Catch him on the sidelines this year with Loras College Athletics as their Creative Media intern.

At Loras, 100% of the Class of 2026 participated in at least one for-credit experiential learning opportunity during their time on campus. We believe in giving students opportunities to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world experiences, starting as early as their first year.
