University Staff Council

USC, composed of Staff members from Lake Shore, Water Tower, and Health Sciences campuses, are elected by Staff colleagues to represent their constituents across Loyola.

University Staff Council

Join us for the Staff Cura Personalis Retreat

Join Staff Council and Mission Integration for a one-day, overnight restorative retreat at LUREC designed to support your mind, body, and spirit in the manner of cura personalis. In a relaxing and engaging environment, you’ll enjoy meaningful moments with colleagues as well as quiet time for yourself. Guided sessions and reflective practices will help you slow down and learn simple yet powerful approaches to self‑care. You’ll leave with renewed energy, a deeper sense of community, and personal strategies to support your well‑being long after the retreat is done.
