Loyola's Food Pantry
Campus Ministry, in partnership with the Division for Student Development, established Loyola’s food pantry in order to provide non-perishable food, hygiene products, cleaning supplies, etc. to students who are experiencing food insecurity or financial need.
Donations are always welcome, and a list of needed items is here. Donations can be dropped off at the Campus Ministry office (Cohn Hall 100, basement of the chapel) between 8:30am and 5:00pm Monday-Friday.
If you are a student seeking assistance with food insecurity and are interested in accessing the pantry, please contact Dr. Christina Spearman at cjspearman1@loyola.edu.
Suicide Prevention Campaign
This fall, the Counseling Center has been sharing information and resources to build awareness of suicide prevention in our campus community.
Check out this article to learn more about how we can equip help ourselves and others by recognizing warning signs of emotional distress that may lead to suicidal thinking, as well as awareness of resources both on and off campus.
Graduate Representative for Library Advisory Board Needed
This fall, the team will meet three times as a group with both in-person and virtual participation options. This is a great leadership experience for students to put on their resume or CV!
