All 12 women are doing their part to better the Milwaukee community.
Of the 12 women who were named Milwaukee SHEroes, two come from Marquette:
Dr. Lisa Edwards, professor and director of counselor education in the College of Education; coordinator of Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program; and a 2018 Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion Faculty Award recipient.
