The Autism Initiative is a group of faculty and students that guide Marquette autism research, programs, educational initiatives, awareness, and acceptance efforts. The Initiative also plans annual autism panels, talks, film screenings, information tables/sessions, and the Day of Mourning. The Autism Initiative Advisory Board is a group of faculty, staff, students, alumni, and community members that serves as a communication pathway between the community, self-advocates, alumni, and local autism professionals.
