COR releases Fall 2025 statement supporting the value of scholarship and research

Marquette’s Committee on Research has seen how research and scholarship on campus advances the search for truth, produces novel discoveries, and enhances knowledge across many disciplines. The Committee on Research decided to provide a personalized anthology highlighting the importance of Marquette research by sharing reflections from scholars engaged in this work. The document highlights stories across disciplines that illustrate how Marquette scholarship advances knowledge, provides a transformative education, and advances social good. COR thanks all the faculty and students who contributed reflections, and everyone across campus working to facilitate Marquette scholarship.
