This one-day conference aims to create community among students involved in social justice work through service, advocacy, and activism and provide opportunities for education, skill-building, and dialogue. We invite students of all levels of involvement to explore their role in affecting social change! At the end of the day, we hope that you leave inspired to take initiative to create positive social change in your community or simply gain new knowledge about what is going on outside of the Marquette bubble.

We have workshops related to civic and community engagement (being an election year), what it means to have an impact, homelessness with Housing First, the role of all forms of art in social justice and much more!
