Join a student organization
Student groups at Marquette have been actively working to make our campus, community and city a better place for years. Many of these groups focus on social justice and community outreach. There are also several groups that focus on environmental issues and are helping Marquette become a more sustainable university. Find the one that works best for you. And if you're not sure where to start, attend O-Fest, in the fall, to find out more on any one of the over 250 student organizations here at Marquette.
Community involvement
There are hundreds of organizations in Milwaukee that would be glad for you to lend a hand. Visit Volunteer Milwaukee to find an organization that fits your values or browse the local environmental organizations business directory.
