Meet the Staff

The LMU Alumni Association is headquartered in the beautiful Alumni Center located in the Charles Von Der Ahe Building (formally the Charles Von der Ahe Library). Our entrance is along Palm Walk facing St. Robert's Hall.

The LMU Alumni Association offers opportunities to help alumni strengthen their relationship with each other and the university. There are no dues to become a member of the Alumni Association – it's automatic upon graduation.

We encourage you to stay connected to LMU. Attend an upcoming alumni event, volunteer, visit the Alumni Center, and take advantage of the many alumni perks and discounts.

MESSAGE FROM ALUMNI CHAPLAIN FATHER ROBERT CARO:
Dear Lion friends,

I’m honored to follow in the footsteps of Father Rich Robin as alumni chaplain. Early in February I marked 46 years at LMU, so I’m no stranger to the campus! I’ve served in a variety of roles: English professor, resident minister, Jesuit Community rector, trustee, and inaugural vice president for mission and ministry. After three years of retirement, I am back in the saddle. I look forward to reconnecting with former students and friends from our time together in McKay Hall (late ’70s and ’90s) — and am eager to get to know many more of you.

Please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected] if you have questions or want to set up a meeting in-person or on zoom. 

Hugs all around,
Robert Caro, S.J.
Alumni Chaplain
