THINK TANK

What do you want to do? Who do you want to become? The Marquette experience will inspire you to think about yourself — your beliefs, your values, your experiences. You will be challenged to seek new answers and to ask new questions, to reflect upon what you have done and to do it better. Here at Marquette we talk a good deal about educating and caring marquette.edu/explore for the whole person; we call that cura personalis. We talk about doing and being more; we call that magis. We talk about you (that’s right, you) a lot. But as they say, talk is cheap. Doing is what’s important. At Marquette we provide the environment, the services and the attention you need to succeed. At Marquette, we do.

We offer a number of ways to explore and enrich your spirituality.

LEADERSHIP. Marquette students learn to challenge the status quo as ethical leaders. They also get plenty of leadership practice on campus, and more than half of graduating seniors report holding a leadership position in student groups.

SERVICE. At Marquette, we believe in becoming men and women for others, and our students take that mission to heart. Although it’s not required, more than 85 percent of students participate in service. It’s one reason why Washington Monthly listed Marquette second nationally in its 2010 list of “25 Most Service-minded Schools”. 4 Illustration by Travis Foster MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY MARQUETTE [ We have much to offer, but this about sums it up.] chapter3 TEST THE WATERS

For an urban university, we’re very residential — almost 95 percent of students live on campus. You’ll become a member of a vibrant community of learners who work hard … and who play hard, too. Here are just some of the ways you can keep busy:

n Try one of our 250-plus student organizations — more than most mid-sized universities marquette.edu/studentlife n Play for one of our 30-plus club sports teams — more than any other Jesuit university

n Catch a play at the Evan P. and Marion Helfaer Theatre or the latest exhibit at the Patrick and Beatrice Haggerty Museum of Art

n Check out Tuesday’s 10 p.m. Mass, when St. Joan of Arc Chapel is packed with a standing-room only crowd

n Cheer on the Golden Eagles with the rest of the Marquette Fanatics (don’t forget the blue and gold paint)

n Go bowling, sing karaoke or catch a game at the Annex — more fun than a barrel of monkeys*

* OK — we don’t really know how much fun a barrel of monkeys can be, but we’re sure there’s a good research study there.

Dear Mom and Dad, Marquette is very focused on its mission: to prepare your sons and daughters to be leaders in their world, their community and in their lives. We understand that college is a lot like marquette.edu/parents handing off the keys to the car for the first time, and although you’re not quite in the driver’s seat, we present the backseat driver’s guide to Marquette. Worth noting:

n We’re committed to the Jesuit ideal of cura personalis — or care for the whole person — and our staff in Residence Life, Student Affairs and Campus Ministry provide an additional safety net for new students. Our first-year orientation program is also renowned. n Our top-notch faculty win numerous awards for teaching and research, and our 14-to-1 faculty/ student ratio ensures plenty of attention. n Marquette is one of the lowest-cost private colleges listed among U.S. News and World Report’s top 100. n Marquette students exceed the national average when it comes to career placement and getting into graduate school.
