What makes college life at Loyola Marymount beautiful? To the editors of the 2019 edition of The Tower, it wasn’t just the L.A. weather or the stunning LMU campus grounds. As they wrote in their yearbook’s opening pages, the beauty is “in the moment a class fully engages you” and “the way you can be who you truly are – without shame or doubt.”

Using the same oblong format reminiscent of other recent award-winning editions of The Tower, the 2019 version isn’t simply beautiful pictures of LMU’s ridiculously photogenic campus.

Yes, there are plenty of fun coverage choices, such as the spread on students never getting bored in Los Angeles. But The Tower staff also took on timely, weighty issues as well, like a spread about civility in online discourse and dating in today’s online world.
