Sophomore Seminar
The sophomore seminar meets every Monday at 3:00-4:15 p.m., each fall semester. Sophomore Hyman Science Scholars are required to take the 1-credit seminar course and attend every meeting. Other students are encouraged to attend any seminar meeting that they find interesting. The last fifteen minutes of each seminar with a guest speaker is a chance for informal chatting and networking.
During Fall 2020, the seminar was held on Zoom. Since then, the seminar has followed a hybrid structure to enable speakers to join who are not local to Baltimore.

New Name, Same Program
Loyola's CPaMS Scholars Program is now the Hyman Science Scholars Program, thanks to the philanthropic support of a generous foundation whose leader has a passion for the sciences that will inspire the next generation of Loyola students. The only change is the name! Just like CPaMS Scholars, Hyman Science Scholars are academically talented students majoring in computer science, mathematics, statistics, data science, or physics. Students benefit from a cohort model through which they gain peer support and faculty mentorship, extracurricular enrichment, internship opportunities and career guidance in STEM-related fields.Contact Us
