Sister Campbell is a religious leader, attorney and poet who serves as the Executive Director of NETWORK, an organization devoted to reform informed by the tradition of Catholic Social Justice.

Sister Campbell largely focuses on economic justice, immigration reform and healthcare. In 2012, she organized the “Nuns on the Bus” tour, which has made four cross-country trips focused on economic justice, comprehensive immigration reform, voter turnout, and (most recently) bridging divides in politics and society.

Among her many national and international appearances, Sister Campbell addressed the 2012 Democratic National Convention, and appeared on 60 Minutes, The Colbert Report and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. She has received numerous awards, including a “Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Award” and the "Defender of Democracy Award" from the international Parliamentarians for Global Action.

The School of Social Work is very excited to welcome this leader in social justice to Saint Louis University’s campus.
