ALANA (African, Latinx, Asian and Native American) Services is committed to providing support, services, and programs that encourage the success of students of color at Loyola University Maryland. Through intentional programming and a broad spectrum of services, we seek to foster the academic, personal, spiritual, and leadership development of ALANA students.

As a department, ALANA sponsors a variety of programs aimed at enriching and educating members of Loyola's campus community about issues related to diversity, inclusion and cultural awareness.

Membership Benefits
ALANA Services oversees 8 ALANA Student Organizations that provide the institution with events that seek to celebrate Diversity and Inclusion while building the visibility of students that identify at Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). While ALANA primarily supports students through their racial and ethnic identity development, ALANA also seeks to support students through an intersectional framework because students have various identities, and the support can expand to help many students that would fall under the marginalized population.

The 8 ALANA Organizations are:
Asian Cultural Alliance (ACA)
Association of Latinx Students (ALAS)
African Student Association (ASA)
Black Student Association (BSA)
Caribbean Students' Union (CSU)
Middle Eastern South Asian Student Alliance (MESA)

The Baltimore Environmental Film Series at Loyola University Maryland was inspired by the great environmentally themed film festivals in the mid-Atlantic including Environmental Film Fest in the Nation's Capital and The Environmental Film Fest at Yale. As a Jesuit Catholic Institution environmental sustainability is important to the mission and values of Loyola University Maryland. This film series merges the art of film with education and advocacy for those affected by the major environmental issues of the time.

Connecting Campus + Community for a More Just and Equitable World

Loyola's Center for Community, Service, + Justice (CCSJ) connects campus and community for a more just and equitable world.

Inspired by Loyola's Jesuit Catholic educational mission and identity that calls for a dynamic integration of academic excellence, social responsibility, and faith that does justice, CCSJ is committed to reciprocal collaboration with community partners and to involvement with people who are marginalized. CCSJ aspires to place a shared emphasis on the engagement of Loyola students and faculty and the pursuit of positive community impact in Loyola's immediate York Road neighborhoods, throughout Baltimore City, and the world.

CCSJ Aims:
1. Engage Loyola students and faculty to serve, learn and lead for a more just and equitable world.
2. Build capacity for positive change in our local York Road community.
3. Animate Loyola's mission through measuring, highlighting, and communicating our work internally and externally.

CCSJ Values:
Through CCSJ and York Road Initiative programs, policies, operations and culture, we value:

• Anti-racism, as racism affects all other structures of inequity.
• The dignity of all people and our common home by practicing love in action with our neighbors.
• Local community power, wisdom and relationships.
• Collaboration, education and connecting through relationships to promote positive collective social impact.
• Dismantling systems of oppression, transparent and inclusive decision-making processes and the equitable distribution of power and resources.

Commitment to Racial Justice:
Inspired by our mission to connect campus and community for a more just and equitable world, Loyola's Center for Community, Service, and Justice (CCSJ) strives to become an anti-racist organization. We will pursue this commitment by investing in our capacity to think critically about the role race plays in our relationships, programs, and organization and we acknowledge that we will be personally and professionally challenged in this work. Please read our commitment statement which has been uploaded to this site. Additionally, please join us in utilizing CCSJ's social and racial justice databases on our website which is available to all: https://www.loyola.edu/department/ccsj/resources

Welcome to the office of the dean of undergraduate studies. We are committed to helping students make the most out of their years at Loyola—whether that means helping you through a difficult circumstance that is affecting your academics or preparing to take the next exciting step in the journey of discovery and achievement that can distinguish your academic experience.

In the office of undergraduate studies, we believe that students are the most important architects in planning their academic pathway and achieving academic success. Students are empowered to discern their own paths, accepting responsibility for success and failure, being resolute in the pursuit of interests, passions and goals, and making sense of their lives and choices as they proceed toward graduation. Part of that responsibility begins with advocating for one's self and seizing opportunities for exploration and growth. This, too, requires seeking out support resources on campus when necessary.

We invite you to make the most of the many academic resources that Loyola offers to help you succeed, excel, and make the most out of your Loyola experience. Contact our office and let us know how we can support you on your academic journey!

The Green Bandana Brigade’s goal is to spread awareness of campus, local, and national resources for students coping with mental health concerns. An individual with a green bandana on their backpack or in their office is identified as a safe, nonjudgmental person to approach with mental health-related difficulties. They know about available resources, and they can provide resource cards to assist others in getting help and support. None of us has to be alone in our struggles.
