Sponsored Student Organizations

Each student organization given recognition by Loyola University Chicago is classified as a Recognized Student Organization - either Registered or Sponsored. Water Tower Campus Life, which serves Loyola's Graduate, Professional, & Adult Student populations, only has Sponsored Student Organizations (SSO). Sponsored Student Organizations are student organizations formally recognized by the University and linked to a University department. They are classified as “sponsored” because they are departmentally supported. The financial resources used to support an SSO come directly from a University department.
