Employee Recognition

Staff Excellence Awards

Each year award recipients are honored at the Staff Excellence Awards Luncheon held in early June. Aligned with Marquette’s mission, these recipients display a search for truth, the discovery and sharing of knowledge, the fostering of personal and professional excellence, the promotion of a life of faith, and the development of leadership expressed in service to others.

The Excellence in University Service Award recognizes staff members for their contributions to the essential work of Marquette at the highest level of excellence. Candidates are nominated based on meritorious service that is above and beyond the duties normally assigned to their positions.

The Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion Award recognizes one staff member who demonstrates exemplary leadership and manifests the ideals of diversity, equity and inclusion into practice.

Quarter Century Club

In 1948, Marquette University President Edward J. O'Donnell, S.J., had an idea: Gather all the members of the Marquette family who served the university for 25 years or more. Those dedicated individuals, he said, "should be recognized for the heart, soul, energy, and love they all gave to the university over a lifetime."
