Driven by the University's mission “to inspire students to learn, lead, and serve in a diverse and changing world,” this society strives to enhance students' understanding of leadership, individual, and corporate social responsibility while fostering greater reflection on personal and professional choices.
The Scholars Society serves as an an "Affiliate Student Organization" (ASO) of the Sellinger Scholars Program of Loyola University Maryland.
Our Society offers unique opportunities for leadership within the program, the school of Business, and across campus. The Society is led by an appointed executive board overseeing student-led events, peer mentoring, community service, social media, and more! This structure ensures students develop leadership skills while enhancing the Sellinger Scholars community, Loyola Community, and beyond.
The Student Leadership Team serves as the governing body of the Sellinger Scholars Society, ensuring that students have a voice in shaping their community. The team operates independently, but with support from faculty within the Scholars Program and the Sellinger School of Business, empowering students to take ownership of their leadership experience.
Member Benefits: The Scholars Society offers members exclusive career development, leadership, and networking opportunities. Through mentorship programs, professional workshops, and access to events, students gain valuable skills and industry connections. The Society also fosters a strong community through peer engagement, service initiatives, and leadership roles, preparing members for success beyond Loyola.
Distinction from the program: The Scholars Society serves as the student leadership and engagement arm of the Sellinger Scholars Program. As an Affiliate Student Organization of the Sellinger Scholars Program, it provides hands-on leadership, networking, and service opportunities beyond the classroom. The Scholars Society is entirely separate from the academic requirements of the Sellinger Scholars Program.
"This society is more than just a student organization—it’s a community of passionate, like-minded individuals who challenge and support each other. Through mentorship and collaboration, we’re building a network that extends far beyond the classroom."
