About Marquette Employee Wellness

Employee Wellness at Marquette

Marquette University provides programs and services for faculty and staff on campus. Many programs and services are open to spouses of employees as well. Marquette Wellness seeks to provide opportunities to improve all areas of your wellbeing, supporting mind, body, and spirit, so you can be and feel your best. 

When we feel good, we can lead happier, more productive lives, and we can support our students and live our mission each day.

Mission

The mission of the Marquette University Wellness Program is to develop and foster a wellness culture by creating an environment that not only supports and sustains healthy lifestyle choices, but also inspires and empowers individuals to take responsibility for their own health.
