Sister Jean, Loyola's Iconic Chaplain, Retires From On-Campus Duties

On her 106th birthday on Tuesday, Sister Jean of Loyola Chicago announced she would be stepping away from the university, essentially "retiring" from her on-campus duties.

College basketball fans will remember Sister Jean as the chaplain to the men's basketball team during the Ramblers' historic Final Four run back in the 2018 NCAA tournament. Sporting her maroon and gold, Sister Jean showed up to every game for the team and rooted them on from the stands, even as she was nearing 100 years old.
