Department Highlights
Club Sports Allocation Presentations
In the month of March, club sports become very active both on and off the field with competition. On the field, many of our outdoor sports are competing most weekend. Friendly competition begins between teams at Loyola as they work to propose the best financial allocation pitch to secure funds for the next year. Teams are asked to reflect on their budget from the current fiscal year and consider hopeful future endeavors as a team before making the most financially responsible request for their future budget allocations. They are then tasked with giving a 10-15min presentation on how they plan to use funding.
