agis is a Latin word and Ignatian concept familiar to all Marquette alumni, meaning “something greater or something more” and relating to the Society of Jesus motto, “for the greater glory of God.” It was the one idea about our university I asked our incoming students, the Class of 2023, to learn and understand when I spoke to them in August. Magis also speaks to our Edu- cational Opportunity Program as we mark its 50th anniversary. The steps taken in 1969 by President John Raynor, S.J., to create EOP were as groundbreaking as when President MJames McCabe, S.J., in 1909, led Marquette to be the first Catholic university in the world to coeducate women and men in undergraduate courses. Under the leadership of Dr. Arnold Mitchem, Grad ’81, Hon Deg ’04, Marquette’s EOP grew and became a model for programs nationally. I would argue that for as much as we needed EOP growth, and are successful in every aspect of their 50 years ago, we need it now more than ever. lives. These were the basic tenets on which our EOP We now have the most diverse student body and program was founded and remain true today. Diversity greatest number of faculty of color (20 percent) in our relates to numbers; we now need EOP to focus on university’s history. But we must do more. As more equality and inclusion of our students. first-generation and diverse students become part of Marquette must continue to change our culture our community, we must evolve to ensure that they and further develop nonacademic programs that feel welcomed and supported, have opportunities for complement EOP. We need to build on our work that now includes the African Students Association, Black Student Council, Office of Engagement and Inclusion, Gospel Choir, Black Alumni Association and, just in its second year of very successful exis- tence, RISE — Ready to Inspire Success and Excellence, our unique orientation for multicultural and under- represented students.

During a summer service trip to Costa Rica after his sophomore year, Markus Howard casually mentioned to the group of 16 student-athletes that all were invited to a morning devotional, if they chose. Their long days consisted of hauling rocks and mixing concrete to build a basketball court in the dusty, unpaved village where they were volunteering. Before each sweltering workday, Howard shared quiet readings from the Bible. He read verses such as Jeremiah 29:11. “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’” For Howard, practicing his faith daily is an intimate part of his routine, something as familiar as practicing MARKUS HOWARD hundreds of jump shots per day in the gym.
