Graduate Student Involvement in Community Service

At Loyola University, the motto "men and women for and with others" refers not only to the undergraduate students, but to graduate student and all members of the Loyola community. The institution's commitment to service and justice includes students, staff, faculty and administrators as we work together to develop patterns of life-long service and work for justice. The Center for Community Service and Justice invites graduate students to explore the "service options" listed under the headings on the left of this page. Begin at "getting started" to find out how to get involved. All are welcomed!

Some opportunities for graduate students in particular include:

Immersion Programs
