Meet Bridget Wake, this year’s Student Commencement Speaker and proud member of the Loyola SCPS Class of 2026. ✨
At Loyola SCPS, Bridget found more than a degree. She found a community grounded in purpose.
Inspired by the University’s Jesuit mission and supported by the flexibility of SCPS, she was able to continue her education while balancing life’s responsibilities.
Now graduating with her applied psychology degree, she is preparing for her next chapter at Loyola this fall to pursue a master’s in social work.
