Campus Climate Study report to be shared Sept. 4; town hall presentation, Sept. 11

Results from the 2025 Campus Climate Study will be published Thursday, Sept. 4, with members of the Marquette community invited to learn more about the process and key takeaways during a town hall on Thursday, Sept. 11, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. in the AMU Monaghan Ballrooms. All are invited to attend, and no RSVP is required. 

To encourage meaningful dialogue and action, a series of focus groups will be held throughout the fall semester. If you are interested in serving as a focus group facilitator, contact Jodi Blahnik, co-chair of the Campus Climate Study Implementation Committee. Marquette also invites departments, offices, divisions and colleges to host their own conversations and strategic planning sessions. To request a facilitator or support for department-level discussions, please complete the request form.

A key priority in the university’s Marquette 2031 Strategic Plan, Guided by Mission, Inspired to Change, the Campus Climate Study is a powerful tool for senior leaders to better understand the perceptions and experiences of students, faculty and staff, identify strengths and areas for improvement, and measure year-over-year progress on key initiatives. 

Faculty, staff and students were asked to take a survey during the 2025 spring semester to gather specific information about how the environment for learning, living and working at Marquette can be improved

Takeaways from the report, as well as feedback shared in focus groups, will inform university leadership in developing action items as part of the Strategic Plan. 

The report and other materials will be shared via Marquette Today and on the Campus Climate Study website (campus access required).
