Are you sick of working alone in your room? Looking for someone to give you a bit of a pep talk every once in a while or jump start your writing week? Hang out with Assistant Dean Heather Sevener on Zoom! This isn’t a meeting, you won’t have to talk, it’s just a chance to connect if you miss the feeling of working around others. Come and go as you please. What have you got to lose?

Questions? Email Heather at hsevene@luc.edu

Three Minute Thesis
If you had three minutes with a potential funder or employer to describe what your research is about, could you do that? This is the goal of the Three Minute Thesis competition.
Loyola’s Three Minute Thesis competition will take place on Tuesday, February 9, 2021 at 4:00 PM (CST). This unique competition is open to any Masters or PhD student conducting research for their thesis or dissertation. Please click here for more details on Loyola’s Three Minute Thesis competition for 2021.
Programs must host their own internal competition to determine which graduate student will compete in the university-wide competition. Contact your GPD or department chair if you are interested in competing.
This event is open to the public and The Graduate School strongly encourages all faculty, students, staff, and community members to attend and support the competitors.
