MUSG After Dark: From Casino Night to video game tournaments to cookie decorating to intense bingo matches, what better way to spend an evening than experiencing wholesome events and winning outstanding prizes with your fellow students? MUSG After Dark programs a variety of themed weekend events all in the spirit of having a great time. Gather some friends, head down to the Union, and get ready for a full night of crazy games, fabulous prizes, delicious snacks, and tons of fun. We want a fun-loving commission with spirit and spunk who can coordinate an evening for our students to kick back and enjoy.

Concerts: From the most successful, award-winning musicians to local student bands, the Concerts Commission brings a mix of music to Marquette. Country, hip-hop, bluegrass, jazz, Indy-rock, mainstream, underground -- with the continuously changing trends, we want a commission who loves music an stays informed on MU's interest for artists. Concerts require work with agents, contracts, and a detailed planning process, so the commission should be enthusiastic about music and ready to work to bring the best performances to campus.

Diversity: The Diversity Commission addresses issues of cultural, ethnic, racial, religious, and socioeconomic diversity in the Marquette community. Guiding the exploration of these important areas, entertaining and educational programs are planned to involve every facet of campus. This commission brainstorms innovative events, often co-sponsoring with other student organizations, to keep students informed on pertinent worldly concerns as well as creating a sense of ownership and belonging at MU.

Excursions: The Excursions Commission provides fun activities off campus for students at Marquette. With a range of programs hosted in our own Milwaukee, it gives students the opportunity to familiarize themselves with Milwaukee's resources and recreational events while expanding their knowledge of Wisconsin's largest city. Beyond Milwaukee, Excursions also develops programs involving sporting events as well as tapping into the array of options available in nearby Chicago. This commission needs creative energy to compose new, exciting events for students to escape campus and explore the surrounding area.

Films: Presenting recent blockbuster hits, classic films, and artsy independent flicks, the Films Commission brings movies to Marquette that will appeal to the masses. This commission works closely with other student organizations to co-sponsor movies and augment various established programs. Themed film festivals can be scheduled throughout the year based on student interest. As students spend relaxing Friday and Saturday nights savoring popcorn and soda at the Varsity theater, we want a commission who appreciates a variety of films and who wants to spread that enthusiasm across campus.

Speakers: Stimulating and influential speakers are an established tradition on college campuses as they serve to extend learning beyond the classroom. The Speakers Commission provides insight to many inspirational, controversial, and fascinating issues that are affecting our world. By contribution to the success of various specialty weeks/months at Marquette, the commission programs lectures pertaining to specific, relevant topics at hand. From sports stars to politicians to humanitarians and survival stories, speakers wants to reach out to all interests at MU. Come on board and make a difference.

Special Events: The biggest Marquette traditions, including Mania Week (welcome back events), National Marquette Day, and facets of Marquette Madness (basketball kickoff), are coordinated through the Special Events Commission. This commission hosts large-scale activities that attract hundreds of students and take much planning. They are exciting experiences that are always remembered in a student's college career. If you want to make an impact or add your flair to these decadent traditions, Special Events wants you as a member.

Senior Week: The Senior Week Commission develops and implements programs for graduating students and their families during Senior Weekend (December) and Senior Week (May). The programs include many traditional events while incorporating new, creative activities for the new graduates to enjoy. The commissioner will be responsible for selecting, training, and managing a team of about 20 volunteer students and overseeing an executive committee. It is essential to help graduates have a memorable depart from their college life as they transition into "real adulthood."
