Frank Marino

Name: Frank Marino
Position: SJRC Student Ambassador, Resident Assistant
Major: International Affairs, Human Services and Social Activism
Hometown: The Jersey Shore

I became interested in social justice work at 17 when I was chosen as a delegate from my high school to attend Camp Anytown, a diversity retreat in New Jersey. Ever since then I've been on a constant search for more knowledge surrounding social justice, and working any way I can to end the inequalities I see in America. I specialize in group facilitation and social justice education for youth. I am especially interested in issues surrounding race, multiculturalism, sexuality and gender, sustainability and food. Working with the SJRC I hope to be able to contribute my skills to making Northeastern an even more inclusive community for all people.
