Flourish

Living OUT Our Strong Truths Well

The Thrive Center for Student Success welcomes first-year LGBTQ+ students and allies, in the fullness of your identities, to explore our thriving Q’mmunity at Loyola and in Baltimore City. Rooted in our university’s motto, “Strong truths well lived,” Flourish invites you to live out your individual truths that nourish our diversity and collective wholeness. Explore our themes of belonging & collective power, history & intersectionality, self-expression & possibilities, and queer joy & pride. Time will be spent on and off campus to get to know the people, resources, and communities that will help you thrive in your Loyola experience. And y'all know we're going to have a good time doing it!
