Welcome to the First-Year Feature!
The First-Year Feature is our bi-weekly newsletter created by first-years for first-years! Every other week, we will provide updates about what we are doing in SGA, athletics, events, and other "happenings" at Loyola. Feel free to reach out to any of our representatives at any time with comments, questions, and concerns! Click on the "First-Year Feature" banner to be taken to our class website.
Welcome Back Greyhounds!
We hope you had a fantastic break and that you are ready for another amazing semester! The Spring Semester is extremely busy for many students, so please keep our campus resources in mind if you need support. In addition to our newsletter, the Bridge is a great resource if you are looking for events to attend on campus. Let's finish out this year strong! Good luck hounds!
