After a months-long national search, Loyola University (LA) has named Xavier Cole, an administrator at Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as the Jesuit institution’s 18th president, university officials said Thursday.
Cole will be the first Black president to take the helm of the 111-year-old Catholic institution in Uptown New Orleans. His hire was unanimously approved by Loyola's Board of Trustees on March 17.
