Bea Haggerty Outstanding Student Service Award
The Haggerty family has long been a generous supporter and friend of Marquette University and specifically of the Opus College of Engineering. One of our engineering buildings bears their name – Haggerty Hall – in honor of the late Patrick E. Haggerty, a 1936 engineering graduate from Marquette and one of the founders of Texas Instruments Corporation.
When Bea Haggerty, wife of the late Patrick Haggerty, passed away, the Opus College of Engineering established the Bea Haggerty Outstanding Student Service Award as a special tribute to this extraordinary woman - a generous philanthropist and volunteer.
The main criterion for receiving this award is a commitment to extraordinary service, similar to that evident in Bea Haggerty’s generosity. This commitment may be demonstrated through organizational leadership, community service, peer education or promotion of diversity.
The 2020 recipient of the Bea Haggerty Outstanding Student Service Award is:
