Biographical / Historical

The Greyhound was first published in October 1927 as a bi-monthly paper. As the college changed so did The Greyhound, evolving into a weekly publication. The Greyhound launched its online edition in 1999, making content of the newspaper available worldwide. As of January 2014, the publication moved strictly online, with daily updates to keep the community engaged and informed.

The Greyhound was the primary campus and neighborhood news source for the Loyola University Maryland community. It was, first and foremost, a media outlet dedicated to the accurate presentation of the news of our community—students, faculty, administrators, Board of Trustees, alumni and friends of the university. The Greyhound also served an educational purpose, providing a hands-on learning experience for those students interested in journalism or other fields relating to the production of print and online media.

The precursor to The Greyhound was the Evergreen Chatter, which ran from 1926-1927. From 1986-1988, the paper was titled The Green and Grey.
