Welcome to Marquette

On behalf of the entire community, welcome to Marquette University!

As you probably know, Marquette has a long history within the Jesuit tradition of Excellence, Faith, Leadership and Service. We have been blessed with much growth and many changes over the years, however, during these changes, one constant has remained—our mission is to assist young people in their journey to become better women and men for others.

Whether your son or daughter has already begun at Marquette or is about to embark upon his or her Marquette experience, I hope you have seen firsthand the care that goes into creating an environment of academic, personal, spiritual, and professional growth. In this environment your student will be challenged in classes, in extracurricular activities and by fellow classmates. We are excited to be a part of this journey and look forward to the successes and challenges that lay ahead.

Each year, thousands of students head to college and many proud parents find themselves with quieter homes, a little more free time and a world of new experiences. As the parent of a current college student, I can relate that your relationship with your child will change. During this change you will play an integral role, not only in your students’ Marquette experience but in the entire Marquette community.

I hope this parent guide provides you with information about how you can participate in our community. Beyond this guide, I encourage you to engage yourself with the Marquette Parent Association. The association will keep you in touch with the happenings of Marquette while also connecting you with fellow parents both near and far.

Sincerely,
Roby Blust,
Dean of Admissions
Marquette University
