Welcome from the Graduate Student Organization

Dear Loyola graduate students,

Welcome (or welcome back) to the Loyola community!

The Graduate Student Organization (GSO) was created to address student needs, and help graduate students feel more a part of Loyola. As a graduate student, this is not a club which you join: you are already a member of the GSO!

We know that you wear many hats in addition to being a student. This planner is our small gift to you to help you organize your day, and plan for your upcoming year. You may only have the occasion to come to one of the Loyola campuses in order to go to class, or you may only be attending “ vitually, ” and this is fine! However, we would like to invite you to learn more about what is available to you as a graduate student, and to meet other students like yourself!

One way to do this is to become familiar with some of the services and resources in the following pages. Many students don’t realize there are free tutorial services available for many courses, or assistance in writing papers, for example.

Another way is to attend GSO programs or events, which we plan with your help to be of interest to the graduate community. These events might be happy hours or social occasions, or they are sometimes opportunities to provide service to the community. This year, we are not sure what our programming will look like, and we will particularly depend on suggestions from you for ideas. Watch for our events on Facebook (Loyola University MarylandGraduate Student Organization), or in our monthly newsletters. Even better, help us plan something new!

Please contact us at gso@loyola.edu and introduce yourself! We hope to meet you soon, and we wish you the best of luck on your graduate journey.

Team GSO
