Marquette Forum 2019-20
Pathways to Educational Access and Opportunity
Engaging with the spirit that led to the creation of the Educational Opportunity Program in 1969, the Marquette Forum will explore opportunities and challenges to creating educational access for all communities. To learn more about the EOP 50th anniversary celebrations, see the website: https://www.marquette.edu/eop-50th-anniversary/
Building on last year’s theme, “Democracy in Troubled Times,” Forum events will engage
students, faculty, staff, and the communities making up with Greater Milwaukee in
conversations on overcoming the threats to the future of educational opportunity,
including:
• Increased wealth disparities nationally
• Ballooning higher education cost
• Mass incarceration policies
• Healthcare inequities
As a Catholic, Jesuit university, the Marquette community is encouraged to consider these challenges by engaging with the Forum and participating in events. The Forum will also support existing symposia, conferences and colloquia related to educational access and opportunity.
