Student Organizations
Student Organizations

At Stritch, education extends far beyond the classroom. Our student organizations offer a space for every part of who you are - whether you want to dive into future specialties with our variety of interest groups, champion a cause through community service, or connect over shared hobbies and cultural roots in our general interest organizations. Dive in, find your people, and build the balanced foundation you need to thrive in medical school. SSOM personnel can further connect with our student orgs on LoyolaLinked.
"While Stritch’s curriculum builds the foundation of a strong physician, student organizations are where we develop as individuals: an outlet to pursue the interests and passions that make each of us distinct. They shape engaged students who carry that same energy beyond the classroom and into the communities and groups we serve."
