Trinity Fellows has the pleasure of welcoming Karolyn Burns to the team, a Career Diversity Assistant (CDA), who will be working with the Trinity Fellows Program and Graduate School over the next year! “Karolyn Burns (They/Them) is a PhD Candidate in the Philosophy Department. They are from Charlotte, North Carolina where they received their undergraduate degree in Philosophy from the University of North Carolin, Charlotte. Karolyn has a passion for cross cultural communications, art and justice. If they are on campus, you will likely spot them listening to music while staring intensely at their laptop questioning why Outlook is designed the way it is. As the Career Diversity Assistant, they hope to help both the Trinity Fellows and The Graduate School further their missions of serving underrepresented populations in a personhood affirming way by using their expertise and commitment to communal flourishing.”

Marquette University was "ranked No. 1 in the country for engagement in community service" and we are proud to be part of this culture to serve. #WeAreMarquette
