Homecoming 2016: Reigniting tradition
Some alumni might remember; others have been waiting for its return. Their chance to barrel head-first down 12th Street pushing a bed as fast as humanly possible. To scream at the top of their lungs, cheering on the home team. To reconnect with old friends and relive favorite Marquette memories. This was the year, 2016, where talk of tradition became a reality again. Read the full recap and see more photos of Homecoming 2016 on the Marquette Today website.

Marquette Engineer: Shop-floor Sabbatical
"Just let me be an engineer again."
That's the thought that kept running through Dr. Philip Voglewede's head as his sabbatical approached.
During a time of year when Voglewede otherwise would have been in a classroom teaching sophomore dynamics or graduate-level robotics — or advancing prosthetic ankle design in his research lab — he was getting a taste of real-world engineering. "I wanted to see where my students go and find out how engineering is done today to be a better teacher and better my understanding of engineering." Read the full story.

November reflection: Native American Heritage Month
In honor of Native American Heritage Month, our November reflection is attributed to an 1887 translation by Lakota Sioux Chief Yellow Lark:
Oh, Great Spirit,
Whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty and make my eyes
ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand
the things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be superior to my brother,
but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
with clean hands and straight eyes,
so when life fades, as the fading sunset,
my spirit will come to you
without shame.

#BeTheDifference: A Marquette tailgate to support charity
The 13th Annual Marquette Alumni Tailgate Party in Green Bay was held at the "Fun Doctors" house on Oct. 16 prior to the Packers game. More than 200 Marquette alumni and fans attended the pig and chicken roast provided by Mike, Bus Ad '79, and Cynthia, PT '82, Ketter. The tailgate party was complimentary, but donations at the event helped the Fun Doctors support their local charity.
