Hiring for Mission

The intent of the central administration is to empower each area to reflect on these pages and to determine the best practices for their area when they hire for mission. This requires that departments personalize their own context in hiring for mission and to the extent that these pages help toward that goal, they should be used.

It is not the desire of Marquette's president that these documents constrain or inhibit; rather, that they inspire and lead areas to determine their connection with our mission and to hire within that context. Therefore, these are not static documents, but will be modified and adapted as necessary and as needs change.
