Thomas Serena 

Thomas Serena (Chief of Student Organizations) is a junior at Loyola University Chicago, majoring in Psychology of Natural Sciences, with the intent to enter into medical school. Some of his main goals as CSO are to recreate CAN, facilitate collaboration between registered student organizations, and to allow the voice of student organizations to be heard. He worked his way up through USGA first as a senator in his freshman year, Chair of the Safety and Wellness Committee his sophomore year, and now he plays the role of Chief of Student Organizations. Throughout his student career at Loyola, he has been involved in various clubs and organizations such as Order of Omega, National Society of Collegiate Scholars, Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity, American Medical Student Association, the Wellness Quality Board, Campus Coalition for Alcohol Initiatives, Loyola Budget and Finance University Policy Committee, and even worked at the Loyola Wellness Center for some time. However, his favorite extracurricular activity is volunteering in the Pediatric Oncology ward of Anne and Robert H. Lurie's Children's Memorial Hospital. After Loyola, Thomas is planning on entering into the medical school with the hope of becoming a Pediatric Oncologist. Thomas's dedication to academics, extracurricular activities, and volunteer work clearly illustrate his passion for both Loyola but the outside community. 

The Chief of Student Organizations is the head of the Campus Activities Network (CAN), and is responsible for advocating for the needs of student organizations. The Campus Activity Network operates as a forum for student organizations to discuss their concerns and initiatives together, in a way to further collaborative efforts. He/She acts as a liaison by attending USGA meetings to represent the interests of student organizations. 

All Registered Student Organizations (RSOs) must have a delegate attend CAN. The representative should join CAN on Orgsync. All CAN updates, meeting minutes and meeting reminders will be sent out through Orgsync.
