Commuter Student Appreciation Week

Mark your calendars for a week full of activities starting this coming Monday, February 9 - Friday, February 13. Check out the website for more details.

Keep the website up on your phone, as there are multiple events happening each day!

Campus Traditions Survey

What makes a campus tradition? What gets students excited to call Marquette home? 

The Campus Traditions Survey is an early step for the Division of Belonging and Student Affairs’ newly formed Campus Traditions Committee. The committee aims to strengthen students’ sense of connection for years to come. 

Students can share their thoughts by completing the survey online. 

Questions can be directed to Dean of Students Erin Gannon at erin.gannon@marquette.edu. 

SPARK and Orientation Leader Applications are LIVE!

Are you interested in a fun and exciting way to be a leader on campus? New Student & Family Programs is hiring SPARK and Orientation Leaders! Learn more below:

Who? Any student who loves leadership, Marquette and welcoming folks to campus! Student leaders must be in good academic and disciplinary standing (not on academic or disciplinary probation). 

When? For those interested in being a SPARK leader, students will be on campus June 10th-23rd. For Orientation, we will need students back on campus the week before classes start training and the Orientation Program. Training and programming will take place August 23rd-30th. 

Why? Being a SPARK and/or Orientation Leader is a great way to build leadership and teamwork skills, get to know other Marquette students and aid in creating an inclusive Marquette community.  SPARK Leaders will be provided housing, meals and a $600 stipend for their work. Orientation Leaders (OLs) get awesome swag, free meals during training and programming and can earn up to 90 volunteer hours!  OLs who live on campus get to move into their residence halls early.
