ALANA Services

Grow. Connect. Celebrate

ALANA (African, Latinx, Asian, Native American) Services is committed to providing holistic support to students from diverse backgrounds, including but not limited to BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, first-generation college, and interfaith identities. We strive to cultivate an inclusive community through intentional programming and outreach that promotes an environment valuing belonging, diversity, equity, respect, inclusion, and access.

Furthermore, we aim to address systemic barriers and challenges that impact student success through advocacy and empowerment of historically marginalized groups, and ensuring each student who engages with ALANA graduates from and thrives at Loyola and beyond.
