“First Fridays”
Residential Life at Loyola is consistently looking for student feedback and finding ways to improve our services, facilities, and relationships with our residents.
The Facilities Intern: Providing a Better Quality Facilities Experience for Students
The facilities internship position was created to provide students with a better quality facilities experience. Often times, students were unsure if their work orders were received and being addressed. Also, students would not report facilities concerns because they would just “live with it.” In line with Residential Life interest in providing a positive environment for each of our students, the facilities interns were positioned to improve the student experience.
