Your vote, your voice
“With passion and purpose, Suffolk students are working across the University, throughout the city of Boston, around the Commonwealth and the region, and even nationally and internationally to make sure that people have a voice in the political system, and in our democracy. Our students are working in nonpartisan ways to ensure that younger voices, and the voices of people across generations, are counted and heard in political decisions that affect their lives.”
Marisa Kelly
Suffolk University President
