Cranston Student Accepted at Loyola University

CRANSTON, RI -- Matthew Sweeney, from Cranston, is now a member of the class of 2020 at Loyola University Maryland, according to Angela Martin, school spokeswoman.

About 4,000 undergraduates and 2,000 graduate students attend Loyola, she said.

But all the first-year students participate in a "living learning project," she added.

"As first-year students embark on their college experience, they will all take part in Loyola's living learning program, Messina," Martin explained. "The common text for Messina is How to Win an Election, Quintus Tullius Cicero's letter to his brother, Marcus.

Marcus Cicero was a Roman orator, who became a candidate for Consul (the highest office in the Roman church) in 64 B.C.
