This year’s Holiday Giving Tree, coordinated by University Staff Senate, resulted in a record 410 gifts for those who might otherwise not receive anything for the holidays.
For more than 25 years, Marquette has partnered with the United Way to ensure that hundreds of community members feel loved during the holiday season. This year, 207 members of the campus community participated.
That generosity benefitted five local community agencies:
- Catholic Charities Milwaukee
- Catholic Charities Waukesha
- Mitchell Integrated Arts School
- Pearls for Teen Girls
- Milwaukee LGBT Community Center
The University Staff Senate is a group of elected individuals who represent Marquette staff so that their views and interests may be considered, alongside those of faculty and students, in the conduct of institutional affairs that affect life in the workplace and in the advancement of the university’s mission.
Staff Senate convenes every third Thursday of the month at 11 a.m. Learn more on the Staff Senate website.
