Association of Social Welfare and Justice Marquette

The purpose of our organization is to bring together a community of people interested in Social Welfare and Justice and those pursuing a SOWJ major/minor.

The Association of Social Welfare and Justice Students focuses on an emphasis in social justice issues as well as helps with advancements in the field by bringing speakers to campus to explain different post grad career opportunities. We are a liason between students and job/internship opportunities and connections beyond Marquette.
