Stang - Bee the Difference

Bee the Difference

On a church rooftop on the fringes of the Marquette campus, the marriage of meal program participants, students, urban beekeeping and pro-bee advocacy seems like a match made in heaven.

Ken Jones found a consuming passion when he said "yes" to Marquette student Maggie Stang in her role as recruiter for the Bee the Change program at Redeemer Lutheran Church.

October reflection: Autumn is a time of change
Homecoming We just celebrated Homecoming on campus. While we often associate homecoming with football, for some this has meant celebrating soccer and volleyball teams or getting geared up for the basketball season. For others it has meant hot cookies, BINGO, bed races, or a terrific concert on the Central Mall. At the concert I kept asking myself, "Am I really at Marquette?" as thousands around me enjoyed the beautiful moonlit night and danced or sang along to the music.

Autumn on the Marquette campus is often perceived as the time of the most dramatic change. True to their names, the flaming red maple trees along Wisconsin Avenue are just beginning to turn. Cool temperatures and dreary days may soon be upon us, but nothing seems to dampen the spirits on campus.

As another academic year moves ahead, true to our tradition we move forward ready for change knowing that God has great plans for us. We have high expectations for our students, faculty, staff and alumni to be successful. To be the difference. We recently celebrated the faculty and staff who have earned patents through their research and creativity. Many incorporated students into their work. Soon we will kick off the third year of the strategic innovation fund.

We pray God continues to bless Marquette. Our learning. Our teaching. Our research. Our living. May God bless you, too. And don’t forget to check out the All Souls' Day Remembrance detailed at the top of this newsletter.

Frederick Zagone, S.J.
Chaplain, Marquette University Alumni Association


#WeAreMarquette: Friends from the First Act
alumni-bond Before passion, drive and artistry helped them become Oscar and Emmy winners, the same shared qualities led Adam Stockhausen, Comm '95, and Erin Slattery Black, Comm '95, to forge a bond backstage at Marquette that has lasted more than a quarter century.

The two were both on a mission—or really, twin missions. As they grew close over more classes, dress and tech rehearsals and dinners together at Miss Katie’s Diner and Water Street Brewery, there was never “any competition” between them, recalls Stockhausen.

The friendship formed on shared passions and similar work ethics was part of a larger Marquette theatre culture that affirmed those qualities. Read the full story.
