Szymczak Peacemaking Fellowship Program: The Szymczak family provides the Center for Peacemaking with an annual donation to fund student projects that put nonviolence into action. Students have the option to work for an established organization or to create their own project. Upon their return, Szymczak Peacemaking Fellows present their work to the community in a formal presentation designed to showcase the different ways Marquette students are engaging in the struggle for peace and justice through the practice of nonviolence.
Szymczak Peacemaking Fellowships foster the development of nonviolent peacemakers by providing students the opportunity to put nonviolence into practice. Fellowships support individuals as they work to transform structures and relationships to provide for the wellbeing of all.
