The 2015-16 Ramonat Scholars celebrate their final time together.

On Saturday, April 30th, the Ramonat Scholars, their families, and Loyola faculty gathered in Piper Hall for presentations of their final research projects.  The event was a fantastic success and a good time was had by all.

At the end of the event, the Susan Ramonat Prize for Scholarly Excellence was awarded to Daniel Snow for his paper “The Sacre-Coeur of Chicago: Franco-American Devotion and Community, 1880-1920.”  Honorable mentions were awarded to Shannon Koelsch for “Romance and Rebellion: The Nina Van Zandt Story” and Guy Valponi for “Holy Cannoli and Saintly Sweets: Confections in the Lives of Southern Italian Immigrants and their American Descendants.”
