Dear Students, Staff, and Faculty of Loyola,
We at the Library’s Diversity Committee recognize that given recent events many of us find ourselves in uncertain and difficult places. We would like to provide a list of resources for you all to connect with others feeling similarly and to services that can provide you with assistance.
The intention is that this will be a living document and will be updated as new events and resources are presented both on campus in the Chicago community.
