Happy Feast of St. Ignatius, Lions! 🦁✨

Today we honor the saint whose vision shapes who we are: men and women for and with others, called to find God in all things and live boldly in service of the world. 🌎

𝘊𝘶𝘳𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴. 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘪𝘴. 𝘈𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘫𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘮 𝘋𝘦𝘪 𝘎𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘮. More than words, they're how we show up for one another and the world. 🙏

🌟 Family Spotlight: the Vukadinovich family

Legacy families carry the LMU spirit forward through generations of Lions. David Vukadinovich ’92 is part of one family whose Lion pride spans more than 50 years and has never been stronger. A current member of the LMU Board of Regents, David is a proud alumnus and Lion parent. “LMU provided me with a rigorous liberal arts education that prepared me well for law school and graduate school, but the LMU culture and community made the biggest impression on me and continue to shape who I am today.”

David’s dad Steve and uncle Mike (pictured in the image on the left) both graduated in ’74 and are now Golden Lions. David’s brother is also an alumnus, and his son Hayden is Class of 2029. David and his father celebrated Sophia’s graduation together in May (pictured on the right). Thanks for sharing your story, David!

Happy Fourth of July, Lions! 🇺🇸🦁

Throwing it back to one of our favorite traditions: Lion student-athletes marching through the neighborhood, waving to the families and alumni who line the parade route every year. 🎺🎉

Today, we honor the LMU alumni and families whose service, leadership, and care shape communities across the country and right here at home in our own backyard. ✨
Wherever you're celebrating, a backyard with family, a parade with friends, or a quiet moment of gratitude, we're proud to call you part of the Lion family. 🦁

Tag a Lion you'll be celebrating with this year, or drop a 🎆 in the comments to show us where you're watching the fireworks. 🗺️
