Following a fall retreat held Sept. 12-13, 2026, the Student Government of Loyola Chicago (SGLC) established its goals for the academic year. The organization focused on improving student accessibility and transparency through new communication and feedback initiatives.
Why it matters
By prioritizing clear communication and centralized digital resources, the student government aims to better represent the needs and logistics of the diverse campus body. These structural updates are intended to bridge the gap between student leadership and daily student life.
The SGLC maintains a 35-member senate and six subcommittees, operating from its central office in Damen Student Center Room 210. These bodies are now tasked with executing priorities developed during their recent retreat at the 98-acre Loyola University Retreat and Ecology Campus.
