There's much to share in this edition of the Graduate Student Newsletter!

• An invitation to share your research or project at a not-to-be-missed celebration

• Some super-creative pop-up classes at the library
• GRADUATE STUDENT APPRECIATION WEEK next month
• ...and more!

The Emerging Scholars Celebration of Graduate Research is taking place on Friday, April 25th. Over a thousand attendees have experienced the fun and pride in participating in this event over the years, but it's even better to PRESENT! If you have a paper, project, or other work you have done in your grad program that you would like to share, apply to present by March 24th!

The countdown to Commencement has begun! If you are on track to graduate, you should have received an email from Academic Events with details about the celebration. This email includes information on purchasing your cap and gown, reserving seats for family members with mobility issues, and much more.

For the first time this year, software will help ensure the correct pronunciation of your name! More information regarding this will be sent out soon. Please keep an eye out for emails from academicevents@loyola.edu and visit the Commencement website for all the details about the big day!
