Ten noted humanitarians inspire studentsFanning out across campus and Milwaukee into classrooms and lecture halls, students and the Milwaukee community had the opportunity to engage 10 noted humanitarians from all corners of the world this past week. The honored guests were part of Mission Week, a time when Marquette reflects on its Catholic, Jesuit identity. The theme was "The World is our Home," and featured the eight living recipients of the Opus Prize, along with relatives of two deceased honorees. It was the first time all 10 Opus Prize recipients were together in one place to share their stories and mission. Brief bios of the honored guests were in the latest Marquette Magazine issue and small snapshots of the week are posted as Marquette Magazine online exclusives: Father Miranda preaches on Being the Difference; For Father Frechette, faith pays off in Haiti. Additional online exclusives will be posted in coming days. |
