Creating the World We Want to Live In
Our rallying cry, a north star to shape our communication about LMU
Creating the World We Want To Live In expresses our optimistic vision of a vibrant academic community that prepares students to ignite change — in their lives and in a world that needs their ingenuity.
- Speaks to our history and tradition of seeking academic excellence
- Reflects our Southern California culture of creativity and innovation
- Emphasizes our Jesuit tradition of pursuing justice and creating a better world for all
- "World" reflects our global outlook; though we are in and of Los Angeles, our impact knows no bounds
