Global-Local Affairs

The Office of Global-Local Affairs at Loyola Marymount University has adopted the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) in response to a world in need of innovative and creative problem solvers, we strive to integrate these goals into our diverse learning environments and broader DEI university activities. By embracing the UN SDGs, we are reaffirming our dedication to developing global persons who are equipped to make meaningful contributions to a more sustainable and equitable world.

At LMU, global learning is more than just an essential educational goal, it is a deeply ingrained outcome rooted in our liberal arts traditions. Guided by our Catholic, Jesuit, and Marymount mission, we aim to educate the whole person that nurtures a commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and social justice to address pressing global challenges.
