What happens when a generation assumed to be reliable Democratic voters begins to break from expectation and shift to the right? A year after Election Day 2024, commentators, politicos, activists and politicians attempt to make sense of Gen Z’s turn away from Democrats, and try to answer the question: Was Gen Z’s shift to the right a 2024 anomaly, or is it the future?

Featuring Hasan Piker, Dana Bash, Karl Rove and more, “Identity Crisis: Gen Z and the shift to the right” — presented by the Los Angeles Loyolan and Project Citizen — premieres on November 5 on the Loyolan’s website and YouTube channel.

Curiosity surrounding the potential relocation of the film, television and media studies (FTVS) department to the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts (BCLA) — which the Loyolan first reported on Sept. 23 — has grown in recent weeks, with some students making known their opposition to the proposal.

Following the story’s publication, Joanne Moore, dean of the School of Film and Television (SFTV), added to the intrigue. In an email to SFTV students on Sept. 25, Moore stated that the relocation was being considered as part of “an effort to build a world-class media studies department.”

This came as news to some faculty in media-related fields throughout the University. During interviews with the Loyolan, several stated that they were unaware of any discussions about a media studies department being created.

“I would hope, if that was ever a plan that was being discussed, that faculty would be consulted,” said Kate Pickert, associate professor and chair of journalism.

Laughter, applause and thoughtful conversation took over campus this weekend as the entire LMU community joined the pride for Family Weekend. From Oct. 23-26, relatives of the LMU community were invited on campus to celebrate. This annual event was the second to be held in the fall rather than the spring, and was marked by a plethora of events highlighting a variety of elements that make the on-campus community unique.

The weekend provided another occasion to commemorate unity and togetherness. Throughout games, celebrations, food, drinks and conversations, the wider LMU community was able to come together to cultivate a pleasant experience for all.

“Family Weekend is one of the most special traditions at LMU because it brings together students and the people who love them most,” said Kawanna Leggett, senior vice president for Student Affairs. “We’re so grateful to our partners across campus who help make these experiences possible each year.”
