Nearly 350 people attended the blessing and dedication of Loyola University’s Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing building Sept. 29 on the health sciences campus in Maywood, Ill. Guests were invited to a reception and tour of the facility after the blessing and dedication.

The Rev. Michael J. Garanzini, SJ, president and CEO of Loyola University Chicago, led the festivities, thanking donors, members of the community and key leaders at the university and health system who made the project possible.

"We have waited more than 77 years for this moment," Vicki Keough, RN-BC, PhD, ACNP, dean of the nursing school, said to the crowd at the event, according to a news release. "I am pleased to share this historic occasion with you as we dedicate the first-ever Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing building. This all came to fruition thanks in great measure to our faculty, staff and the generous support of alumni and friends of our school."
