1. Update personal contact information in university records

Before embarking on their summer plans, all students are strongly encouraged to update their personal contact information, including cell phone numbers, on the university CheckMarq system. The Office of the Registrar Web site provides explicit instructions for accessing Student Self-Service through CheckMarq.

Log on to CheckMarq and scroll to the “Personal Information” section on the lower left side. Students can indicate their campus, home or cell phone number as their preferred number.

The information found in CheckMarq is the official database used by university staff to contact students for university business or emergencies. It would be most helpful for students to add their cell phone information to the system.

3. Graduating seniors invited to Manresa afternoon of reflection

Marquette seniors are invited to join Dr. Susan Mountin, director of the Manresa Project, for an afternoon reflection of their Marquette experience. Meet at the east side of the AMU on Thursday, May 17, at 2 p.m. for this two-hour event.

Attendees can enjoy the beauty of the lakefront, take a short paddleboat ride and reflect upon their life at Marquette before taking the next step in their life journey.

Contact the Manresa Project at 8-0263 for more information. (Rain site: AMU 252 — obviously no paddleboat ride!)

4. Rare Jesuit books donated to the Marquette libraries

Marquette libraries have received a significant donation of rare Jesuit works from the 16th and 17th centuries from an anonymous donor.

The gifts, including a rare 1596 edition of Historia Iesuitici Ordinis, form one of the largest collections of rare books donated to the Marquette Libraries by an individual donor. The additions to the libraries' rare book collection will join over 30 previous gifts from the same donor. 

A description of the rare book collection may be found on Special Collections' Web site, along with descriptions of other recent gifts and an online exhibit of special incunabula (pre-1500) holdings.

5. RSVP for Dr. Leslie retirement reception by tomorrow

8. Public Safety honors some of its own

The Department of Public Safety honored employees and students at an awards ceremony last week.

Captain Paul Jablonski received the John J. McGinnis Professionalism Award posthumously. Public Safety Director Larry Rickard cited Jablonski’s many contributions to the department, including technological updates and the development of the Avenues West substation and the Command Information Center that will be put in place this summer.

The Student Safety Program Employee of the Year is Christina Leinartas, a student in the College of Business Administration who has worked for SSP for two years. She “motivates and encourages by her example,” Rickard said.

Among the 10 individuals who received Citizen Merit Awards for their roles in assisting Public Safety were eight students: Leinartas, Rita Deering, Benjamin Fox, Joseph Kohut, Anthony McGowan, John Modrzynski, Dan Muething and Russ Twiehaus. Also recognized were two employees, Andrew Cleary from Student Affairs and Chuck Willer from Facilities Services.

Public Safety Merit Awards were presented to: Lt. Brian Joschko; Sgts. Chris Burton, Billy Fyfe and Ken Simms; Public Safety Officers Theo Coney, Joy DeCristoforo, Rob Ewanio, Scott Metz, Jim Riccaboni, Franz Schaller, Joe Secanky, Carrie Spalding, Drew Tegen and Bridget Ziliak; Communication Officer Jodie Scordo; and University Services Officer Brad Ilk.
