September 2022

"We Are All Marquette" is a series of stories that highlight diversity, equity, and inclusion on our campus and in our community. Read archived articles.

Welcome back to school! We are thrilled about the new academic year and all of its new opportunities. Start the year by reading about Mayra Alaniz, a graduate student in the College of Business Administration, who has been working to make professional wardrobes a reality for first-generation and low-income students. Alaniz's mission to help fellow classmates find free professional clothing options has become a student lead non-profit organization here at Marquette.
