This week-long pilgrimage will traverse the U.S. South to experience places and learn about people that comprised the U.S. Southern Civil Rights Movement.
Applicants should be open to the program's three goals:
All participants are required to take part in the following components of the pilgrimage:
The week-long trip will take place in early- to mid-January 2022. The tentative dates are January 5-12.
We will visit museums, churches, memorials, restaurants, and parks in several cities. The itinerary is not yet finalized but may include locations such as Nashville, Atlanta, Montgomery, Birmingham, Selma, Jackson, and Memphis.
Students selected to participate in the program are expected to pay $300 to help cover costs associated with transportation, lodging, and museum fees. We will travel via chartered bus and stay in shared hotel rooms (3-4 students per room).
All Marquette students are welcome to apply regardless of class standing or program (undergraduate, graduate, or doctoral). As space is limited on the trip, not all applicants will be invited to attend. Thus, there is a two-step application process.
Complete the online application by 1 p.m. on Monday, October 4, 2021.
Please email Chris Jeske (christopher.jeske@marquette.edu) if you encounter any technical issues with the application.
Some applicants will be invited to participate in a face-to-face interview (either in person or on Teams). We anticipate these interviews will take place in mid- to late-October.
The Civil Rights Pilgrimage is jointly organized and led by a team of Marquette faculty and staff.
Please direct any questions to Parisa Shirazi (parisa.shirazi@marquette.edu).
