“So, what are your plans for

after graduation?” It’s a question that inspires

motivation and hope for the future as a

freshman but causes dread and uncertainty

as graduation approaches. For many, the

idea of going to school for a few more years

is about as welcome as a speeding ticket

in the West Road Garage. But for others,

graduate school is a stepping stone on the

way to their dream career. Whether you

enter Loyola with a solidly laid out plan for

the rest of your future, or if you are leaving

Loyola just as undecided as you were when

you entered, Wolf Magazine is here to offer

you some guidance. From the MCAT to the

service industry, we’ve got tips and tricks to

help ease the stress of your impending entry

into the real world. Career Services counselor

Jill Boatright offers steps to completing the

perfect graduate school application packet.

recent Loyola graduates who have entered a new type of classroom in “Classroom Culture.”

Does a gap year sound like the perfect remedy to your four years as an undergraduate?

“Alternative Paths” shows you a few different options on how you can make the most of your

post-grad purgatory. No matter your plans for after graduation, don’t get so caught up in job

and grad school applications that you forget to enjoy your last few months at Loyola. Just keep

swimming, y’all!
