Gifts to the Marquette Fund help retain and attract top-notch faculty members, enhance the university's technical resources, and provide direct support to student programs. These gifts are used across the university — supporting all colleges and providing a significant impact in ways that benefit each of the university's students.

Faculty Enhancement

Marquette entrusts our students to a faculty of unquestioned excellence and commitment. Gifts to the Marquette Fund help the university retain and attract bright faculty members who excel both as teachers and as respected researchers.

About $1 million has been allocated each of the past two years to help make Marquette's faculty salaries more competitive and to prevent talented teachers and researchers from leaving for higher paying positions at other institutions. These increases are directly attributable to annual gifts to the Marquette Fund. Maintaining competitive salary levels will require continued significant support through annual gifts to the Marquette Fund.
