Marquette receives $10 million gift to build new Jesuit Residence, support need-based scholarships
Marquette University received a $10 million gift from an anonymous benefactor to build a new on-campus residence for its community of Jesuit priests and to support scholarships.
The gift marks the beginning of a university effort to build a new Jesuit Residence and renovate the center of campus. The project will total $15 million and will be funded entirely from donations. Construction and work will begin after an additional $7.5 million is raised. The remaining $2.5 million of the gift will be dedicated to support need-based scholarships, a key priority identified in the university’s strategic plan that was unveiled in May 2013.

Marquette Lawyer Magazine - Faculty insights: Changing things for the better, step by step
Phoebe Williams remembers
her father coming home from
his job as a schoolteacher in
an unusually happy mood on
May 17, 1954, the day the
U.S. Supreme Court issued
the historic
Brown v. Board
of Education
decision on
school segregation. Williams
was eight years old and living
in thoroughly segregated
Memphis, Tenn.
"I wanted and expected change immediately," she recalled.
Williams, a Marquette lawyer and a member of the Marquette Law School faculty since 1985, has been an initiator of change, a participant in change, a witness to change - and a witness to the frustration of hopes for change. Read the full story.

February reflection: The season of love
Are you in love? Are you looking for love? Sometimes I think we listen to too many love songs or watch too many movies where the expectation is to live happily ever after. Love can be a wonderful thing. We just have to accept that love is never perfect.
Think of the words of St. Paul in his letter to the Corinthians. "Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous, it does not put on airs, it is not snobbish. Love is never rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not prone to anger; neither does it brood over injuries. Love does not rejoice in what is wrong but rejoices with the truth. There is no limit to love’s forbearance, to its trust, its hope, its power to endure. Love never fails."
A few years ago the cartoon For Better or for Worse ended original syndication and concluded the story with this: "And although it's not easy, this is all part of loving someone, with all your heart... and with all you have to give! It’s a promise to be there, one for the other, no matter what happens, no matter who falls, for better or worse."
From my windows in Humphrey Hall I have watched the sunrises through the glass tower of Engineering Hall. A reminder that the days are getting longer and springtime is coming! The season of love.
Frederick Zagone, S.J.
Chaplain, Marquette University Alumni Association
