ALUMNI LINKS
Welcome, Alumni!
The Marquette Nurse is educated with a focus on courage and care, putting Jesuit principles into practice to drive positive change for people, communities, health care and the profession. Marquette Nurses are uniquely qualified for this calling because of their commitment to five principles:
- Courageous leadership
- Critical thinking
- Advocacy for the vulnerable
- Caring for the whole person
- Championing social justice
More than 10,000 Marquette Nurses live these values in their everyday practice as they courageously lead in health care settings around the world. Wherever patients and communities are in need, a Marquette Nurse is there to answer the call with skill and compassion in equal measure.

90 Years of Excellence: Alumni Stories
Nursing alumnus finds purpose in treating incarcerated individuals
Braden Wolthuis does not ask what the patient lying in front of him has been charged with, nor how the judge ruled in their case. Where others see prisoners, Wolthuis simply sees people in need of care.
‘Community rules everything around me’: A conversation with Marquette Nursing alumna Dominique Hyatt-Oates
A focus on community is what led DE MSN alumna Hyatt-Oates to her current job as deputy commissioner of policy innovation and equity for the City of Milwaukee Health Department. The Young Alumna of the Year award winner for the College of Nursing took time to speak with Marquette Today to talk about her career as a public health nurse practitioner.
Nursing alumna Kathleen Blaney protects public health
COVID-19 was a baptism by fire for Kathleen Blaney, a Marquette Nursing alumna who served as the clinical director of New York City’s contact tracing program. Six years later, she is putting the skills she learned trying to control the pandemic’s spread to use, directing all nursing activities for ambulatory care and population health for New York City Health and Hospitals, the largest municipal public hospital system in the country. In a Q&A with Marquette Today, Blaney shares the lessons she learned from her career in public health.
