This is a major moment for @MarquetteU, for our enduring mission and for future students who will become the first in their families to attend college. I remember what it was like trying to carve my own path. I had the will to succeed, but I didn’t know the way.
I’m sincerely touched to know that one of our generous supporters will help create a hope-filled future for students who demonstrate tremendous potential but need financial assistance to realize it.
President Ah Yun announced that an anonymous donor has committed a $20 million planned gift to grow scholarships for MU students who are the first in their families to pursue college. The gift comes during National First-Generation Celebration Week and will mainly support @MUBusiness students.

.@MarquetteUPres announced that Marquette has received a $2 million gift from Jake and Stephanie Stefan, an engineering alumni couple.
“We always knew we wanted to find a way to do something special at Marquette,” Jake said.
The Stefans were personally inspired by the impact of the @MUEngineering’s nationally recognized co-op program. Their gift establishes an endowed fund to support the college’s Office of Industry Relations and its leader, ensuring that students continue to gain invaluable professional experiences that launch successful careers. #WeAreMarquette

Next Monday, June 9, marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of President Mike Lovell.
I hope you take some time next Monday to reflect on the impact Mike had on Marquette and on you, personally. He worked to be the best version of himself in all that he did and committed his life to creating opportunities for others to be the best versions of themselves. One meaningful way to carry his legacy forward is to show each other kindness, practice humility, and take care of your physical, spiritual and mental well-being.
As a university community, we will celebrate his life with three special practices that were meaningful to him: marquetteu.com/45AMqeU

The Marquette community was invited to attend a special blessing ceremony for the new Wellness + Helfaer Recreation, which also honored our late President, Dr. Michael Lovell, and his wife Amy. The facility is home to the LOVELLSTRONG Center for Student Well-being.
LOVELLSTRONG represents the way President Lovell lived his life, as well as the Lovells’ dream that all students would experience cura personalis, or care for the whole person – mind, body and spirit. On Denim Day—a national day of awareness for survivors of sexual violence—this center stands as a reminder that when students seek help with courage and strength, they will be met by a Marquette community that provides hope and healing.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the generous donors and friends who made this student-centered facility a reality, especially Marquette alumni Jim and Kelly McShane, whose lead gift helped bring this vision to life.

“When you give of yourself to help others, whether it be through your time, your talents or your resources, a miracle happens. And that miracle is you get back more than you gave.”

Today marks three years since the untimely passing of our former dean, Joe Daniels.
He played a pivotal role in bringing O’Brien Hall to life - just one of many contributions to @MarquetteU in his 30 years of service.
RIP Joe. We miss you.
