Get to Know our Senate Representative, Ben Weckstein!
I currently serve as the Graduate Student Organization representative for the Academic Senate here at Loyola. I am currently in my third semester of the Emerging Media Masters Program and am also an employee of Loyola, working in the Undergraduate Admission office since the fall of 2019.
I volunteered for this position because every student's voice deserves to be heard at Loyola. Loyola would not be the place that it is, without the caliber of students who enroll in our graduate programs. As graduate students, we often face many different challenges when it comes to completing our education. Some of us may work multiple jobs, balance family responsibilities or are new graduates ourselves. Part of my role is to make sure that every graduate student has a chance, should they choose, to be able to share their thoughts or concerns with me with regards to their graduate experience.
Aside from my professional career, I currently live in Baltimore with my wife, Julia, and our dog Finnegan. On the weekends you can often find me running or cycling around the Baltimore Metropolitan area. I look forward to representing and working with you all during this year. Please feel free to reach out to me at bweckstein@loyola.edu.
