This month, we celebrate...YOU! The week of April 7 - 11, we want to show a spirit of GRAD-itude with cookies and snacks, Loyola swag, and prize drawings. See below for details, as well as info about other events of interest, such as a Grad Virtual Yoga opportunity, and the Emerging Scholars Celebration of Graduate Research!

Graduate students are an integral part of the fabric of our Loyola community! We are over 1000 strong, most of us are part-time, and many of us pursue our studies virtually. No matter your program or geographic location, we appreciate you.

Make sure you enter our drawing for one of three Loyola prize packs, and your chance to get some nice Loyola merch! Open to all graduate students, in-person or remote, part-time or full-time, but just one entry per person, please.
