Cara is a faculty librarian on the Lake Shore Caompus who works with Loyola's Biology and Philosophy departments, as well as the undergraduate health sciences programs. As a 2nd term senator, Cara hopes to continue pushing for transparent and equitable treatement of all Loyolans.

David Posner

I’m honored to have been nominated to represent LSC faculty in the Faculty Senate.  If elected, I will strive to represent the interests of faculty and of the entire LUC community to the best of my ability.  I am committed to listening, to advocacy, and to working with all constituencies, especially those whose voices sometimes struggle to be heard, to help LUC fulfill its mission as a Jesuit Catholic university.
