Mission Week celebrates “The World is Our Home”

For approximately 10 years, Marquette has celebrated the exploration of its Catholic, Jesuit mission through Mission Week. This year’s celebration, Feb. 3-9, will honor the 10 winners of the annual, $1 million Opus Prize in faith-based social entrepreneurship. Mission Week initiatives will include the undergraduate colleges hosting one or more Opus Prize winners as "visiting chairs," giving students, faculty, staff and alumni an opportunity to engage with these extraordinary leaders.
