Introducing Alumni for Others
Service is at the very heart of the Marquette University experience. Marquette's exceptional history of community engagement is rooted in our Catholic, Jesuit mission to develop leaders through service to others. More than 85 percent of Marquette students participate in service during their undergraduate experience.
The Alumni for Others program seeks to promote service opportunities for our alumni and friends by creating an awareness of need and fostering action through volunteer service in the local, national and world communities.
