Participating in clubs and organizations, students get to share their particular strengths, skills, and interests with their peers and with the broader community. Loyola offers many avenues for this kind of learning through social, performance, leadership, academic, service, athletic, and issues-based organizations. The Office of Co-Curricular Programs is the place to find out about these groups—or start a new one!
This February the Loyola community will celebrate the rich history, customs, and events of Mardi Gras. With many students, faculty, and staff being from outside of the New Orleans area, these celebrations will give them an opportunity to not only experience the parades rolling down St. Charles Avenue, but to gain an understanding of the meaning behind so many of the activities that have become part of this tradition since Mardi Gras came to the Americas in 1699.
The month will feature a variety of events and activities from revealing the customs of selecting Mardi Gras royalty, excursions to New Orleans Mardi Gras landmarks and festivities, mask-making, and many more. The events will conclude with a campus carnival, which will feature Mardi Gras floats, a brass band, and Mardi Gras Indians. The Office of Student Affairs and Co-Curricular Programs invite everyone to take part in the activities this February and laissez les bon temps rouler, “let the good times roll”.
