About Marquette

About Marquette

Faculty, staff and students come to Marquette University to share a commitment to the pursuit of excellence in all things as a lifelong endeavor. They come to join a community whose members believe that education must encompass the whole person: spiritual and moral as well as intellectual, the heart as well as the mind.  This Web page will introduce you to Marquette University.

We Are Marquette

The We Are Marquette site provides a brief, but likely compelling, video introduction to why We Are Marquette.  We Are Marquette — you'll hear it passionately spoken around campus between students, faculty, staff and alumni. But what does it really mean? Not surprisingly, it's more than just a catch phrase, just like Marquette is more than just a university. "We Are Marquette" is shorthand for describing all of the dynamics of the Marquette community and the academic and spiritual growth of all of its members.
