Marquette University Welcomes the Student Chapter of Dr. Jennifer Vanderheyden was instrumental in bringing Dr. Rangira Béa Gallimore to campus in February 2009. Dr. Gallimore was honored for her humanitarian work to aid the female survivors of the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. The proceeds from the reception went to The National organization of Step Up! The Step Up! Marquette Chapter was established in 2009 by a group of students passionate about seeing change in the world. This organization is the first of its kind on a University campus. Marquette is the first University to host a Step Up! student chapter. The Step Up! Marquette Chapter is dedicated to educating the student population about the history of the 1994 Rwanda genocide. Through various events involving music, dance, performance, film and lecture, the Step Up! Marquette Chapter also shares with the Marquette students and staff what is being done in Rwanda today by the national Step Up! organization to help rebuild the Rwandan women emotionally, physically and psychologically. In addition to educating the student and staff population, it also raises funds to support the healing of Rwandan women who have been the victims of sexual-based violence. |
