Irena graduated from college in 1931. Not long after, she married Mietek Sendlerowa. In English, she became Irena Sendler. The couple began to build a life in Warsaw. She enrolled in the social welfare program at the University of Warsaw. She signed up for a community internship at the Polish Free University. She began to study under Dr Radlinska. She began to be friends with a Jewish male named Adam. Riots started at the University of Warsaw because of new laws against Jewish students. Her new friends at the University included Ala Grynberg, Rachela Rosenthal and Ewa Rechtman.
She and her new friends talked about social justice all the time. Her marriage eventually unraveled and she spent more time with Adam and her new friends at the University.
