Student Media Organizations

Student-run organizations play a major role in the Loyola experience. These groups offer unique opportunities for students to grow as members of the Loyola community while at the same time learning skills and behaviors that will stay with them well past graduation day.

Greycomm Studios

GreyComm Studios provides its students an opportunity to gain experience in the television production and broadcasting. Programming is broadcast over the campus cable system and accessible throughout the campus, including the various residence halls. Many programs are also available via YouTube.

The studios operate throughout the entire school year and welcome students from all disciplines.
