FAITH
May reflection for recent graduates
For four or more years you’ve worked and studied, played and partied, volunteered and served. Whether you were involved in everything or stayed pretty much to yourself, you have been a part of something bigger.
Take this opportunity to thank God for your Marquette education. Give thanks for the friends you made and the experiences you had. Give thanks for all those people who helped make your Marquette experience possible -- parents, family and friends who may have helped pay for your education and Marquette alumni and benefactors who contributed to scholarships and provided facilities on campus. Don’t forget hundreds of faculty, staff and service workers.
Join me in celebrating and praying for all the new graduates of Marquette. They will "Be The Difference."

Marquette establishes cyber security center
Marquette University has established a Center for Cyber Security Awareness and Cyber Defense to serve as the university’s primary hub for cyber security education and research. It is the only such center in the Milwaukee metropolitan area.
“We must find ways to protect our personal information, and evaluate the costs of privacy enforcement," said the center's director, Thomas Kaczmarek, director of Marquette’s Master of Science in Computing program. "There is not a vigorous defense against Internet attacks, and we are facing a plethora of changes in information privacy law.”
