LUC/SENN Partnership –
The Senn High School Partnership focuses on three key areas: college admissions and retention, support for Senn academic programs and support for Loyola academic programs. There have been many accomplishments to date, many which are provided below.
Senn graduates at Loyola are receiving support through the Office of First Year Experience intended to ensure academic success and four-year degree completion. Support includes: a dedicated advisor who meets with each Senn graduate monthly, weekly facilitated study sessions, preferential access to work study and tutoring opportunities, and retreats and special program addressing key skills and knowledge for college success.
Ongoing Loyola involvement across many units – Department of Fine and Performing Arts, Biology, Chemistry, School of Communication, School of Social Work, School of Education, Institute for Environmental Studies, University Libraries, Admissions.
Departments of Biology and Chemistry collaborated to pilot a summer science lab internship program last summer with funds from the National Science Foundation and Loyola University Chicago Provost’s office. Last summer, three Senn juniors were paid interns in two Loyola science labs, assisting in lab research projects. Several proposals have been submitted to expand this program to six Senn students on an annual basis.

Earth Day Clean and Green Event recruits 100-150 students on an annual basis to participate in the City of Chicago's Clean and Green event. Loyola helps identify projects and provides help within the community to do events such as beach clean-ups, planting, and parks clean up. We provide plants, paint, gloves, and other various tools needed to support this event. We have participated in this event for the past ten years.
