Mission Statement
Called by the Catholic, Jesuit mission of Marquette University, the Division of Student Affairs is comprised of educational specialists who create and sustain a university environment designed to transform the lives of students through the integration of classroom and out of classroom experiences. This holistic educational climate augments students' academic and personal goals by engaging them in learning opportunities that both challenge and support them as they strive to grow intellectually, physically, spiritually, interpersonally and morally as individuals and members of a community.
A theoretical and practical understanding of students and their development informs our work and allows us to articulate students' needs and interests in the broader university community. Our interactions with students help shape their values, motivate them to participate in a caring university community, encourage them to reflect on the implications of their actions, and facilitate their engagement in issues that matter within the university.
All these efforts, conducted in partnership with faculty and administrators throughout the university, are intended to ensure that Marquette graduates are caring, ethical, reflective, culturally competent, and responsible citizens prepared to serve God as leaders who strive for the magis* and work for justice within our global society.
