Alumni
Dear Alumni,
Could we please ask for your help? As you will no doubt remember, students are very often more than a little concerned about what comes next. I would like to have information on our web page about what some of our grads have done after they graduated. If you could possibly send us a description of what you have done since you left Marquette -- as much or as little as you like -- we would be very grateful.
Besides, I would truly enjoy hearing from you.
Thanks, Dr. Friman
This is a work in progress, stay tuned!!!
