Welcome to the seventh edition of the Graduate Planner and Services Handbook, updated for the 2015-2016 academic year.

As a graduate student, the university experience is not new to you, but this experience likely will be, even if you studied at Loyola as an undergraduate student.

You are not the same person you were when you began studying for your first degree, whether that was decades ago, or only four years ago. For many of you, graduate study will be a time of increased focus: time becomes more precious as you devote resources to the attainment of a degree that will advance you professionally. You may be challenged to effectively balance time between academics, career, and relationships.

Perhaps you are getting used to a new housing situation, a new commute, or even a new country.

While graduate study can often feel like a solitary endeavor, please know that you are not alone. You will find many resources within this handbook to help you succeed academically, to feel more a part of the Loyola community, and to help you know “where to go for what.” We have also filled in some important dates and reminders for you in the calendar section of this handbook.

I hope that one item on your calendar will be to introduce yourself over email, or to join the Graduate Student Organization (GSO) for an event this year, or on Facebook. You are already a member of the GSO, and are welcome at any or all of its programs. Visit www.loyola.edu/gso for more information, or www.loyola.edu/gradfriday for upcoming events.

All the best to you this year!

Sincerely,

Mark Lee Director, Technology and Graduate Student Services mslee@loyola.edu www.loyola.edu/gradservices

Dear Loyola graduate students, Welcome to the graduate community at Loyola University Maryland! We hope that you are excited for the opportunities and challenges that your graduate career has in store for you. For returning students, welcome back for another outstanding year!

As we embark on a new year of the graduate experience, we encourage you to take the time to explore all of the resources that Loyola has to offer. In accordance with the Jesuit philosophy of cura personalis, it is important to remember to take care of your whole being. In that process, we hope you take advantage of one Loyola resource in particular, your membership in the Graduate Student Organization (GSO). Loyola’s GSO was founded six years ago, and we are so proud of the success and support the group has gained thus far.

We hope this graduate student planner will be a useful resource for both new and returning students. As student professionals in a modern world, it is sometimes necessary to bring order from chaos. Hopefully this planner will prove useful in that endeavor. It is full of valuable information, tips for success, and some motivational sayings to keep you informed and inspired throughout the year. In addition, please look for our emails and newsletters announcing upcoming graduate student events.

We aim to plan events that appeal to all of Loyola’s graduate students, but to do that, we need your help. Send us an idea, volunteer to help plan an event, or just meet some new people. We all know what it means to be a graduate student and to have many demands placed on us: these are “low commitment” invitations!

Contact us at gso@loyola.edu, or find our group on Facebook by searching for “Loyola University Maryland- Graduate Student Organization” for more information.

Life as a graduate/professional school student is full of new experiences – opportunities and challenges - that call for adaptive and flexible coping skills. Balancing classes, work, family and friends can place competing demands on your time. In fact, it’s not surprising that many students find themselves at times feeling anxious, overwhelmed or depressed. It takes more energy for grad/professional students to feel connected. You aren’t alone in your feelings, and you don’t have to be alone in working through them.

The Counseling Center (www.loyola.edu/counselingcenter) provides free and confidential, short-term individual counseling for full time graduate students. Referral services to help you connect with therapists and other resources in your community, as well as group counseling services are available to all graduate students. Weekly group sessions, often continuing throughout the academic year, bring together five to eight students with shared concerns. Led by one or two counselors, group sessions last 60-90 minutes and offer opportunities to talk confidentially about your concerns; share them with others who have similar challenges; receive support from group members and counselors; and learn alternative ways of looking at personal problems.

We are staffed by licensed clinicians and post-doctoral fellows.

Graduate students may make an appointment for an initial consultation that ranges from one to three sessions to determine recommended treatment options. Unfortunately, due to high clinical demand, we are unable to provide counseling services for students seeking to fulfill the counseling requirement of their graduate program.

We also offer REACT Online (Readjustment After Crisis and Trauma) an online program for students who have experienced sudden loss, crime, accidents, or other traumatic events. It’s designed to assist students in understanding their reactions, learning coping strategies, and returning to their normal routines as quickly as possible. Our website also has a link to RELAX Online, which provides guided relaxation videos featuring soothing visuals and music, narrated by Counseling Center Staff.

You may not even be sure what’s causing you to experience the feelings you are having—and that’s OK. We can work together to identify the issues you are facing and develop a plan to address them. To make an appointment to meet with Counseling Center staff, call (410) 617-5109, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Counseling Center is located on the Evergreen campus in Humanities Center 150.

If you are experiencing a personal psychological emergency, do not wait to ask for help. Between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, you can come directly to the Counseling Center in Humanities Center 150 or call us at 410-617-CARE (2273). After hours or on weekends, please call the office of public safety at 410-617-5911. No appointment is needed for emergencies.

Counseling Center staff can provide workshops to groups of graduate students as requested. Examples include stress management, coping with work-life balance, and overcoming academic demands. All graduate students are eligible for the workshop services provided by our counselors.

A Guide to Resources on Financial Literacy / Financial Decision-Making As a graduate student, you are likely faced with more complex financial decisions than you did as an undergraduate. Here are a few useful resources: Title CashCourse http://www.cashcourse.org/loyola

Tomorrow’s Money for Young Adults youngadults.tomorrowsmoney.org

Summary / Explanation For graduate students, the sections on going to graduate school, and scholarships for first year graduate students are particularly appropriate. (By the way, take a look also at Loyola’s own Fellowships and Scholarships office). CashCourse also has some short videos on financial basics.

Don’t be put off by the “young adult” title. The well-organized, award-winning site provides resources for those in their 20s and 30s and beyond in a variety of common scenarios, such as buying/renting property, signing leases, considering marriage, and many others.

Get a Financial Life: Personal Finance in your Twenties and Thirties, by Beth Kobliner. (Simon & Schuster)

Even in your 40s, you may find this book to be very interesting and useful. Kobliner does a great job of addressing topics such as debt, insurance, saving, investing, mortgages, and others in a way that is simple to understand. Our library has a copy for the borrowing. Check its availability.

SmartAboutMoney.org (SAM)

Check out SAM’s question-based calculators (“Should I lease or purchase an auto? Restructuring debts for accelerated payoff?) SAM includes an excellent Resource Library which allows searching by particular topic (eg. wedding planning, budget, buying a car, etc.)

A Pocket Guide to Jesuit Education Courtesy of Intersections Program J.A. Appleyard, S.J., former Vice President for University Mission and Ministry, Boston College

BEGINNINGS

The first Jesuit college opened at Messina in Sicily in 1548, but the roots of Jesuit education reach back to an earlier event. In 1521, a young man training for a career at the Spanish court was wounded in a military engagement with the French. Ignatius Loyola was the youngest child in a family of feudal lords in the Basque region of northern Spain. He returned to his family’s home to recover from his wounds. There, he passed the time reading a life of Christ and a book about the saints, which led him to reflect deeply about his own life and to experience a calling to abandon his career at court and to follow Jesus instead.

Calling himself a “pilgrim,” he traveled across Spain to the ancient monastery at Montserrat where he dedicated his sword to Mary as a symbol of his new life. In the nearby town of Manresa, he spent months alone in prayer, reflection, and service of the needy, trying to learn the rudiments of the spiritual life on his own. In spite of his mistakes, he slowly learned how to distinguish between what led him in a good direction and what did not. He later said of this part of his life that God was teaching him the way a schoolmaster deals with a child. He discovered he had a talent for helping others find the freedom to respond to God’s invitation in their lives. He began to keep notes about his own spiritual experiences and his conversations with those who came to him. These became the basis for a small book he later put together for those helping others to grow spiritually, which he called Spiritual Exercises.

• A conviction that talents and knowledge were gifts to be used to help others

These qualities were the product of the distinctive spirituality that the early Jesuits had learned from Ignatius and that Ignatius had learned from his own experience. Jesuits hoped, in turn, to

When Ignatius died in 1556 there were 35 Jesuit colleges across Europe. Two hundred years later, there were more than 800 in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. They constituted the largest system of education before the modern era of public schooling and the first truly international one.

WHY WERE JESUIT SCHOOLS SO SUCCESSFUL? The simple answer is that they met a need. Europe entered the modern world almost overnight in the early 16th century. The voyages of exploration to the Americas and the Indies, the Protestant revolt, and Gutenberg’s printing press changed people’s understanding of the globe, redistributed wealth, and turned Europe into a battleground of ideas. A prosperous middle

From infancy, learning is an active process but in our early years it happens without our being aware of it. Once we become adolescents, though, whether we will continue to learn is largely a choice we make.

Conscious learning begins by choosing to pay attention to our experience---our experience of our own inner lives and of the people and the world around us. When we do this, we notice a

For more than 400 years, it has been said that Jesuit education educated “the whole person.” Today, we live with an increasingly global sense of what it means to be human. A person can’t be considered “whole” without an educated solidarity with other human beings in their hopes and fears and especially in their needs. We can’t pay attention to our experience and reflect on it without realizing how our own lives are connected with the dreams of all those with whom we share the journey of human existence,

THE HABIT OF DISCERNING

Jesuit education, we have said, is a process that has three key parts, being attentive, being reflective, and being loving. It results in the kind of good decision-making that Ignatius called “discernment.” The goal of Jesuit education is to produce men and women for whom discernment is a habit.

In the practice of discerning, we grow in being able to imagine how we are going to live our lives. We discover our vocations. The novelist and theologian Frederick Buechner describes vocation as “the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep hunger meet.” When we arrive at this place, and understand the fit between who we are and what the world needs of us, Ignatius urges us to be unafraid to live with the consequences of this realization, to respond with generosity and magnanimity because this is the way we can love as God loves.

Jesuit tradition uses the Latin word magis or “more” to sum up this ideal, a life lived in response to the question: How can I be more, do more, give more? Jesuit education is complete when its graduates embody this vision of life and work.

We can think of discernment as the lifelong project of exploring our experience, naming its

the day and how we respond, a practice he called an examen. I begin by calling to mind that God is involved in shaping the direction of my life and I ask for light about this. Then, I review the events of the day, especially those where my feelings have been most engaged, positively or negatively. I notice the patterns and the emerging insights about which experiences lead me towards God and which lead away. And I end by looking ahead to tomorrow and asking to live with a growing sense of God’s trust in my future.

For Ignatius, a key element of discerning is the exercise of imagination. In doing the examen, he suggests we use our imaginations to elicit the feelings that have pulled us one way or another during the day and to picture how we might live differently tomorrow. In the Exercises, when he is advising us how to pray, he urges us to take a passage from the Gospels and imagine ourselves present in the scene, listening to the words of the people there, experiencing their feelings, and he asks us to elicit our own feelings in response. And, in the account of his very earliest spiritual experiences, he tells us that, while he was recovering from his wounds, he used to lie on his bed by the open window of his room and contemplate the stars, lost in reveries about the great deeds he would accomplish, at first for the princess he was in love with, and then for Jesus. Even in old age, when he spent his days sitting at a desk in Rome administering the affairs of the Society, he would go to the roof of the Jesuit residence in the evening and look at the stars in order to see his life as God saw it. Finding images that embody our dreams can be a lifelong form of prayer.
