University of Memphis Advocacy Program
The new University of Memphis Advocacy Program, MARS (Memphis Advocacy, Resources, and Support) is still accepting law students who would be willing to serve as advisers or advocates. The MARS program is meant to connect students to resources and advocates that can guide them through the university processes related to investigating and deciding on sexual misconduct cases. Graduate students are being recruited to volunteer to serve as advisers or advocates. Advisers will provide broad information on advocates, University, and community resources, while explaining the path of University processes, while advocates are specially trained volunteers, who will provide support and ensure the individual’s interests are represented every step along the path of University processes.
Please direct any specific questions to Dr. Amaia Iratzoqui (ratzoqui@memphis.edu), or Latosha Dexter (vldexter@memphis.edu), the coordinators of this program. Additionally, a brief letter explaining the program and the application are attached. Note that all deadlines have been extended for law students because they are trying to get more law students involved in this program.
