Mission, benefits at heart of Marquette being a "Great Place to Work"
The Business Journal of Greater Milwaukee has named Marquette a "Great
Place to Work" for 2006. Marquette was one of five businesses and
institutions honored in the large employer category (more than 1,001
employees).
Marquette was nominated by Helen Boomsma, director of workforce training
and development in the College of Professional Studies, and was selected for
the honor based on the results of the faculty and staff survey conducted in
June. In her nomination letter, Boomsma wrote: "It is a privilege to nominate
Marquette University as a 'Great Place to Work' in southeastern Wisconsin.
The primary pillars of Marquette's mission - values of excellence, faith,
leadership and service - permeate the campus and are practiced in word and in
deed."
Washington Monthly ranks Marquette in top 50
Washington Monthly, a magazine focused on American politics and popular
culture, has come out with its second annual college rankings. Marquette
was listed at 49 among the 245 national universities surveyed. Touted as
an alternative to the U.S. News & World Report rankings, the magazine ranks
colleges and universities on their contributions to society as engines of social
mobility, fostering of scientific and humanistic research and promoting among
students an ethic of service to country. Other Jesuit universities included in
Washington Monthly’s rankings are Georgetown University (31), Fordham
University (41), Loyola University Chicago (91), University of San Francisco
(95) and Boston College (104).
College of Engineering students to help Habitat for Humanity
Students will learn some valuable skills as they spend part of a semester
helping to build a house at the Habitat for Humanity work site in Milwaukee
for a new core course offered through the College of Engineering. During
the classroom portion of the course, titled “Decent and Affordable Housing:
How We Get There from Here,” students will also build a full-size wall with
a window and sheathing.

Restorative Justice on "Dateline"
The Law School’s Restorative Justice Initiative, led by
Distinguished Professor of Law Janine Geske, was featured on
“Dateline NBC” during an episode on August 4. The “Dateline”
story profiles a woman whose brother was murdered by his
stepson and a friend of the stepson. Professor Geske has spent
much of the last year meeting with the victim and offenders to
prepare both sides for a meeting.
Restorative Justice is a victim-centered response to crime that
focuses on the harm caused by offenders, as well as the need
for healing of victims and community, while requiring the
offenders to take responsibility for their actions.
|
|
Marquette's Restorative Justice Initiative is committed to supporting victims and communities
in the healing process by providing information and training resources, and by facilitating
communication.
