Known as "America's foremost researcher on hope," Dr. Shane Lopez says hope "is an ancient virtue."
Lopez visited Marquette in November 2013 to deliver the College of Education's Tommy G. Thompson lecture. He sat down with his former student Dr. Lisa Edwards, associate professor of counseling at Marquette, to discuss the role hope can play to help those who are struggling.
"Hope is one of the few things that comes close to an equal-opportunity resource," said Lopez. "Hope cuts across income levels. It cuts across IQs. It cuts across social groups." Read the full story.

March reflection: Lent and forgiveness
We begin each Lent begging for “the blessing of forgiveness.” St. Ignatius reminds us that we are all sinners but adds, “We are sinners called to be companions of Christ.” God touches our lives and shows us that we are forgiven. A change takes place. How do we show the world that we have changed?
Prayer, almsgiving and good works are part of the formula the Gospels offer to assist us in forming our minds and hearts in relationship to our faith, and sacrifice is a great demonstration of our love for the Lord. We are called to commit these acts conscious of our relationship with Christ and remember that God loves us.
If we accept Christ’s invitation, we open ourselves to the change that takes place through the forgiveness of sins. All of this helps us to begin Lent.
