MCC Examen Feedback

At the request of the University Academic Senate and part of the Strategic Plan, we have spent the last year reflecting on how the university might best support the Marquette Core Curriculum as a key driver of the university's Catholic, Jesuit mission. We made some initial recommendations to Senate on Monday, 20 October. If you'd like to provide feedback on those recommendations or add some recommendations of your own, please do so here
