Through the Eyes of Women

During the 2009-10 school year, Marquette will celebrate the 100th anniversary of co-education at Marquette. In celebration of this landmark event, the Office of Student Development, with support from the Centennial Celebration of Women Committee, is pleased to offer, “Through the Eyes of Women: First Year Photo Project”.

During the summer of 2009, eight first-year women were chosen for the project, based on written applications. The women represent a variety of perspectives and interests, and are from across the country. The women will document their transition to Marquette through photography, within four broad categories, including: My Community, My People, My Home, and My Faith. Students will meet for four discussions during the fall semester, at which they will present to one another the photos they have taken and their relevance to a variety of discussion topics.

The final result of the project will be an exhibit that each participant will create from the photos she has taken. The exhibit will be open to the public, and will take place at the Haggerty Museum of Art. Opening night of the exhibit will be held from 4:00 – 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 7, 2010.

Program Purpose

What will participants gain from participation?
