AS A PROGRAMING ASSISTANT, I COORDINATED CAMPUS-WIDE CULTURAL HERITAGE EVENTS AND HELPED FACILITATE IMPACTFUL DIALOGUES AROUND CAMPUS INCLUSION AND SOCIAL JUSTICE. 


WITHIN MY FIRST YEAR OF PROGRAMING FOR A CAMPUS-WIDE AUDIENCE, I WORKED WITH THE NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITY TO HOST MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY’S FIRST ANNUAL NATIVE AMERICAN FILM FESTIVAL IN CO-SPONSORSHIP WITH NATIVE PUNX, A LOCAL NATIVE AMERICAN ORGANIZATION.




EXTENDING MY INTERESTS IN SOCIAL JUSTICE AND STUDENT AFFAIRS, MY MOST RECENT PROJECT IS PROGRAMMING AN EVENT THAT FOCUSES ON MILWAUKEE’S ECONOMIC STATUS AND POVERTY ENTITLED, “HOMELESSNESS IS NOT MY NAME.” IN THIS PROGRAM I WORKED DILIGENTLY WITH CAMPUS FACULTY MEMBERS AND STUDENT LEADERS TO PROMOTE A PROGRAM AIMED AT RAISING THE AWARENESS OF HOMELESSNESS. OFTEN DESCRIBED AS A POPULATION DISTANT FROM STUDENTS WHO ATTEND MARQUETTE, I WANTED THE PROGRAM TO EXPLORE AN UNDERREPRESENTED POPULATION ON CAMPUS. AS IT RELATES TO SOME OF THE SOCIAL EXPERIENCES AND IMPLICATIONS MANY STUDENTS IDENTIFY WITH WHO ATTEND THE UNIVERSITY, THIS PROGRAM IS ALSO A CALL TO ACTION TO RESPECT HUMAN DIGNITY AND UTILIZE OUR KNOWLEDGE AND TALENTS TO BE MEN AND WOMEN FOR OTHERS.  #2YEARS
