This article with several photos of campus buildings, students collecting dead or injured birds, and dead birds, discusses the Lake Shore Campus's threat to migratory birds. Environmental science professors and students are interviewed about their volunteering efforts to collect birds injured in collisions. The student group Student Operation for Avian Relief (SOAR) was established in 2012 and coordinated with the school's facilities department to help reduce collisions. Living birds went to rehabilitation at Willowbrook Wildlife Center, while deceased birds were donated to the Field Museum. The article also discusses changes that can be made to existing windows and discusses whether Loyola will adopt the changes or not. Many of the species face dwindling populations due to threats like glass windows during their migration season. Small changes, like lowering blinds, had helped reduce the death toll, but not every building had taken such steps. Many Loyola students were unaware of the issue.

A photo appears at the top of an article titled, "Students in solidarity: Youths join global climate strike," which depicts young people holding signs that read "PASS CEJA NOW / Clean Energy Jobs Act" and "WHY STUDY FOR A FUTURE I WON'T HAVE?"
The article explains that "Loyola students joined activists from across Chicago and the world Friday afternoon to protest climate change inaction.
The protest, organized primarily by youth activists and students of the Global Climate Strike coalition, attracted approximately 6,000 to 10,000 people in downtown Chicago, many of which were students, according to organizers.
Climate change - the man-made warning of the Earth - poses a threat to millions of people around the globe, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's website.
President Donald Trump and his administration have expressed skepticism of climate change, announcing the rollback of several environmental regulations. Polls show 64 percent of Americans say they disapprove of Trump's views on the issue."
Protesters chanted and marched from Grant Park down Van Buren Street to Federal Plaza, where environmental activists and local politicians spoke, including the International Indigenous Youth Council, State Senator Robert Peters of the 13th Senate District, and Kina Collins, candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives.
Dr. Sasha Adkins (they/them), an environmental health professor at Loyola, led a group of about 15 students to the strike, saying "I would really love if [students] move from despair to empowerment." "Being here... will help us feel strong and work together to make a difference." The students chanted phrases such as "Big oil you suck, you sold our future for a buck!" and "Our future, our choice, let's raise our voice."
Other student organizations participated, such as the Student Environmental Alliance and Amnesty International.
Loyola political science junior Andrew Taylor said "There are people who care about what's going on and care enough to actually be here."
Paola del Rincon Martinez, Loyola sophomore, said attending was "her duty" and that climate change "affects us all. [...] Coming out here today was something I knew I had to do."
A group of Franciscan brothers also attended, citing Pope Francis's encyclical on the environment and that "As a Catholic and a Franciscan, care of creation is our concern."

The top photo of an article in the Loyola Phoenix depicts a student holding headphones on their head, seen from behind, in a recording space with microphones on stands. The top section title appears as "A&E," and the article title is written over the image in white letters: "Podcast popularity: 'There's a podcast for everything.'" The photo credit is by Mary Grace Ritter for The Phoenix.
The caption reads: "Podcasts have become increasingly popular in the last couple years, with more than 700,000 podcasts now available across streaming platforms. It's a form of entertainment that's now easily accessible."
The article includes interviews with students who listen to podcasts, from "a portmanteau of the words 'iPod' and 'broadcast.'" First-year student Nathan Madvig "joked he could likely find a podcast about dairy farming if he looked for one."
The article traces the first podcast to Canadian actor Matt Schichter in 2003, and cites research estimating that 51% of Americans had listened to at least one podcast in their life, while 22% had in the past week, and that the average American listens to podcasts more than any other kind of audio.
Students and faculty are quoted about the appeal of podcasts as accessible, hands-free, and offering a form of connection that other media lack.
Students Shelby Kluver and Diana Raspanti, co-presidents of the Loyola chapter of Her Campus, began a podcast through Her Campus called "Getting There," "a weekly series about navigating the uncertainty college students feel nearing graduation, as well as the fun and joyous aspects of the transition. Each episode covers a different topic and is around half an hour long, which Kluver said is an ideal length for students commuting between Loyola campuses."
