(Please note: These winter break opening/closing dates have been revised in an effort to accommodate the men's basketball schedule - the dates are different than those published in the At Marquette Handbook. Overnight guests will not be permitted January 10-11).  

Those students who are staying in Mashuda Hall for any portion of Winter Break must notify your residence hall director of the dates that you will be staying in the hall.
