Graduate Student Town Hall Meeting:

When: Friday, November 4, at 4 p.m.

Where: Crown Center Auditorium, LSC

The Graduate School welcomes all graduate students to attend the annual Town Hall Meeting with the Graduate School Dean and Administration. The Town Hall is intended to provide a forum for graduate students to speak directly with Dean Attoh, Associate Dean Mooney-Melvin, and Assistant Dean Horowitz in an informal setting where students can ask pertinent questions about their experiences at Loyola. Are there specific concerns you feel deserve greater attention from the administration? Have you ever wished you could consult directly with the Graduate School Administration on issues relating to your program? These types of questions plus many others are encouraged to be discussed at the Town Hall Meeting. Bring your questions, colleagues and appetite as pizza and drinks will be served.

If you are unable to attend the Town Hall meeting but would like an issue to be addressed please contact the GSAC Representative within your department. Link to the list of program representative at http://www.luc.edu/gradschool/GSAC_-_Current_Members.shtml.

Any other questions can be sent to GSAC@luc.edu. We look forward to an engaging and productive Town Hall Meeting this year, see you there!

Money Matters Workshop:

Loan Borrowing and Repayment for Grad Students

When: Tues. November 8th, 4 PM (Centennial Forum Student Union Bremner Lounge)

Wed. November 9th, 5 PM (Corboy Law Center Room 727)

Loans can be an overwhelming topic for many of us. Who do we choose to borrow with? How much do I need to cover my tuition and living expenses? How much have I borrowed so far and what will this end up costing me? This workshop is designed to help graduate students understand the loan process, how to make the right decisions when it comes to borrowing and how to prepare for future loan repayment.
