For the fourth-year medical students of Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine, Match Day is the most-anticipated event of the academic year. On Match Day 2015--Friday, March 20--the soon-to-be doctors learned where they will undertake their hospital residencies.
The 2015 event, themed Match to the Future, began at 10:30 a.m. with a flash mob dance to "Uptown Funk." Then Linda Brubaker, MD, dean and chief diversity officer, addressed students, families, faculty and staff in the packed atrium. At 11 a.m., each student retrieved a sealed envelope containing the assigned residency destination.
Match Day occurs on the third Friday of March each year at each of the medical schools in the United States that participate in the National Resident Matching Program. For students who have worked diligently to gain acceptance in medical school and complete the demanding training program, Match Day is highly emotional.
Congratulations to members of the Stritch Class of 2015 as they launch the next stage of their medical careers!

Pairs of students dance in the Mundelein gymnasium at the first Mundelein Loyola dance on December 18, 1930, which "was the initial social get-together of the two neighboring institutions and it proved to be the beginning of a strong bond of friendship between the two colleges and, incidentally, between some of the students." Anthony Tomczak and his campus orchestra provided music, and refreshments were "served in the Mundelein College cafeteria."

The event was sponsored by Mundelein's history and Spanish departments, along with the Spanish departments of Loyola University and the University of Illinois. The event began with the film "Our Lady of Guadaloupe," followed by a dinner of Mexican and American food in the Tearoom of Mundelein College.
"Entertainment will consist of Latin American songs and dances. Alicia Villarreal and Maria Cristina Schouwe will present three Spanish dances. Guillermo Perez, president of the Spanish club at Navy Pier, and his partner Marta Bennett will present the national folk dance of Panama.
Efraim Lopez, a professional radio singer from Mexico, will sing classical and popular Latin American songs. Patricia Delsing, president of Mundelein's International Relations club, will be mistress of ceremonies."
