In this episode, Dr. Renée Harrangue tells us the story of the merger of Loyola University and Marymount College.

In 1968, Presidents Charles Casassa, S.J., of Loyola University, and Raymunde McKay, R.S.H.M., of Marymount College, announced the Loyola - Marymount merger.   

After five years of sharing faculties and facilities, Loyola University and Marymount College merged and formed Loyola Marymount University in 1973.

In this episode Sister Mary Leah Plante, R.S.H.M., interviews Dr. Renée Harrangue on the Loyola Marymount campus. Dr. Harrangue was present for the initial meetings to bring about the merger of the two schools and later served as Provost of LMU. She shares stories of before, during, and after the merger, major turning points, and achievements.

Dr. Harrangue also describes the founding of the Marymount Institute for Faith, Culture, and the Arts in 1991, which embodies the RSHM spirit and presence at LMU. 

In this delightful interview, Dr. Harrangue shares her perspective on the early years of Loyola Marymount University and her future hopes for this unique educational institution.
