Grace Calhoun has resigned her position at Loyola University Chicago and has accepted a similar position at the University of Pennsylvania, Provost John P. Pelissero Ph.D announced today. She will continue her duties at Loyola until mid-May.

"Grace has played an instrumental role in the rebirth of the Ramblers' historic athletics program since joining us in 2011," said Pelissero. "She enhanced the integration of intercollegiate athletics into university life and fostered a transformative educational experience for Loyola's student-athletes. She also successfully spearheaded Loyola's move to the Missouri Valley Conference last July."
