Loyola University Maryland welcomes Ridgefielders to the Class of 2021: Grace Cartwright, Michaela Gleeson, Peter Guasti, Sophia Hall, Hannah Latorre, and Emily Rodgers.
As first-year students embark on their college experience, they will all take part in Loyola's living learning program, Messina. The common text for Messina is Just Mercy, by Bryan Stevenson. The book, a compelling first-hand account of a lawyer who defends the poor and wrongly condemned, speaks to the inequality in the justice system.
