The Marquette 2031: Securing Our Future Steering Committee continues to review ideas submitted through the ideas and questions portal and will be share ideas with relevant university leaders in academic and administrative units to consider as part of their own team brainstorms. Be sure to submit your ideas soon so they can be reviewed and routed.
