Sister Jean’s office door in the Damen Student Center on Loyola University Chicago’s campus remains open during her weekday office hours for students to pop in whenever they want to speak with the 103-year-old.
Students rush in asking for selfies, advice or to hear any bit of wisdom they can from the chaplain. The students can even take a souvenir as she has a bowl full of “Sister Jean Superfan” buttons donned with a cartoon figure of her.
Sister Jean became an icon in the college basketball sphere four years ago when the Loyola Chicago men’s basketball team completed one of the most memorable Cinderella story runs in recent history when they reached the Final Four in 2018.
