5. Class of 2028: Declaration of Major Process
AASC opened up the declaration of major process for Class of 2028 on Monday. As a reminder, all students must officially declare their major, even if they indicated an intended major in the past.
Students who are ready to officially declare their major can fill out the Declaration of Major form (they have been emailed a fillable copy already) and then receive their Messina advisor's signature on the form (or email approval). Students should then bring the form to AASC in MH138.
Students who are not ready to officially declare their major may request an exploratory advisor to work with them in the third semester. This exploratory advisor will help students consider their strengths and interests, possible majors, and connect them with appropriate resources on campus that can assist with the discernment process. Students who would like to request an exploratory advisor should follow the instructions provided in the email on Monday.
All students will continue to work with their Messina advisors through the end of the spring semester. In the summer, AASC will email students the name of their major or exploratory advisor who will work with them in the future.
If you have any questions, please email aasc@loyola.edu or vlgue@loyola.edu

One Question 4/2
One Question is an interactive event designed to help the audience envision a world where we see ability rather than disability. The event combines a short film, "What Makes You Happy?" with a panel discussion and some additional activities that incorporate the audience, so that they become part of the event rather than passively receiving information. The event centers on our neighbors with disabilities, and our panel usually consists of four to six individuals with disabilities who share stories about their lives and answer questions from the audience. The goal is to raise awareness about our neighbors with disabilities and our relationship with them—to envision a world where we see potential and ability first.
Pep Rally 4/8
Join Messina and Residence Life for a night of fun and competition as we cheer on our Men's Lacrosse team as they face Towson University. Join us at 4pm for a pep rally in Bowman Hall's Lobby where we will have food, games, poster making, and giveaways you can use to cheer on our athletes at the game. The game is at Towson so the bus will depart from Boulder promptly at 5:15pm after the pep rally ends. Tickets have been paid for and return transportation is included.
Please wear Loyola gear as our small but mighty cheering section needs to be seen and heard!
Please note registering for this event commits you to BOTH the pep rally and lacrosse game so only register if you can attend both.
Akeelah & The Bee 4/11
Come see a childhood favorite movie in play-form at Loyola's former home (all the way back to the 1850s!) Play synopsis for those who have never seen the movie: Akeelah has a passion for words, the crazier the better! Under-challenged at school and overwhelmed by her daily life in a tough, Chicago neighborhood, Akeelah is finding it difficult to try. But with the Scripps National Spelling Bee just around the corner, her community is ready to show her she has the courage and tenacity to make her dream come true.
**Chosen showtime offers an ASL intrepreter.**
Registration assures you a seat on the bus and in the theater. To ensure a seat, students should register for Akeelah and the Bee ahead of time on The Bridge.
Students can register events through The Bridge (links below). View the Calendar tab of the Messina website for a complete list of events for the semester.
