A Living Legend, Sister Jean Forever Enshrined in Loyola’s Hall of Fame

At 97 years young, Sister Jean Dolores Schmidt is a campus-wide celebrity and a living legend at Loyola — she even has her own bobble head. Known as Sister Jean by most students, she walks through campus repping her trademark smile and custom Nikes. And now she stands amongst some of Loyola’s most revered athletes.

Sister Jean wears her custom Nike shows to every Loyola men’s basketball home game.

Sister Jean is most known for her spirited personality and dedication to Loyola Athletics. She attended her first Loyola basketball game in 1962 and has been a dedicated fan ever since.
