ALUMNI NEWS

Show your Marquette pride with an "MU" magnet!


Marquette would like to reward you for supporting our students with a cool MU monogram magnet - perfect for the car, fridge or file cabinet. It's your gift with any online contribution made by October 31st in support of the Blue & Gold Athletic Scholarship Fund, the Marquette Fund, or the Scholars Fund. Gifts to these funds are making a tremendous impact on students' lives. Last year individual gifts of $250 or less provided enough funds for approximately 40 full-time scholarships!

Make a gift to get your FREE magnet!
