Spectrum is Loyola's LGBTQ+ social club. We pride ourselves on creating a fun safe space for queer students and allies to socialize, learn, and grow during our meetings and events! We seek to bring awareness to Loyola students about the LGBTQ+ resources offered both on campus and in the Baltimore area. We want to ensure all queer students and allies are seen, heard, welcomed, and loved here at Loyola.

Spectrum recently hosted their biggest event of the year, Rainbow Ball! The annual semi-formal is a great place to dress up, dance, eat, and participate in a lip sync and runway contests! Tickets were free this year with an optional $5 donation to the Trevor Project.

The mission of GSBC is to raise awareness of our shared responsibility to care for our common home, locally and globally. By fostering a greater awareness of sustainability internationally and the role of business in effectuating positive change, we can demonstrate our commitment to global and sustainable business practices through our academic, personal, and professional endeavors and choices.

Our main concept of the club is to inform students about sustainability at the national level. While sustainability is important on our campus, we plan to also look outside Loyola and get involved with communities about sustainability. One event we recently hosted last semester was as a holiday event where we made cards for refugees in the Baltimore area. We hope to see you at our future events!
