From the president
Tim Schluth, a fourth-year student at Loyola University Maryland, is a student leader active in constituent service and engagement. Throughout his time at Loyola, he has worked diligently with the Baltimore City 4th District Office and the United States Senate as an intern supporting outreach, stakeholder & policy meetings and supporting civic capacity for community-led organizations and initiatives. On campus, Tim also works for the Center of Community, Service and Justice and the York Road Initiative (CCSJ + YRI), where he has supported civic engagement initiatives such as setting up meetings between the university’s student delegation for the Ignatian Family Teach-In for Justice and members of Congress and revitalizing the university’s voter registration and engagement campaign (LoyolaVotes) immediately post-pandemic. He also serves on Loyola’s Student Government Association as the Director of Civic Engagement, where he oversees the association’s civic engagement committee and continues to support voter registration & engagement efforts. This upcoming year, Tim will be serving as the Civic Capacity Builder Intern for CCSJ + YRI where he will be working to further connect the Loyola community and resources to its neighboring York Road Corridor through engaging in advocacy, organizing community events, and facilitating city and statewide legislative campaigns.
Personal Statement
My journey in service began in 5th grade when I first volunteered at the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen with my church’s youth group. From here, I came to appreciate the beautiful reciprocity that comes with service and then continued to support service projects through high-school. In 2020, I committed to Loyola University Maryland, where, in addition to studying political science and communication, I work to support our Center for Community, Service and Justice (CCSJ). My role here entails working to promote the center’s vast network of service opportunities, promoting civic engagement by registering students to vote, and organizing events that connect the student body with our larger York Road community. Looking at the historic streak of inequity in our community, I hope to use my role this year to address issues of air quality in Baltimore. Overall, I am so proud to represent a mission-driven institution that works to break down racial and socioeconomic barriers and teaches youth the importance of preserving dignity for all. I have been fortunate enough to translate my love of service into work experience with the Baltimore City Council and United States Senate, and I hope to continue my journey in public service upon graduation.
