Greg Kliebhan, Senior Vice PresidentGreg Kliebhan is the senior vice president of Marquette University, assuming that role in 2002. Reporting to the president, Kliebhan is responsible for top university support functions, which include these divisions: Administration, Finance, General Counsel, Intercollegiate Athletics, Marketing and Communication, Public Affairs, Student Affairs and University Advancement.

Kliebhan has strong Marquette University legacy roots and a deep family allegiance. His father, wife Linda, daughters Kelly and Katy, brother, sister and brother-in-law are all Marquette alumni.

Kliebhan, himself, is a product of a Marquette education, having earned his undergraduate degree in 1973 from the College of Liberal Arts (now Arts and Sciences). He went on to earn his masters of business administration at the University of Illinois at Urbana — Champaign. He was very pleased to return to Marquette in 1976 to join the university's administrative team as a management analyst.

Since that time, Kliebhan has assumed increasing responsibility for university administration, finance and planning, and has held more than a dozen positions including key strategic positions such as budget director, director of budget and institutional research, vice president for planning, vice president for administration, interim vice president for university advancement, corporate secretary, corporate treasurer and now senior vice president and corporate vice president.

Passion for Marquette University and putting students first have characterized Kliebhan’s career at Marquette. His personal philosophy reads in part:

"Together, we need to convince all of our staff that their work for students is noble, enriching, and absolutely vital to Marquette University’s success – whatever position they might hold and however far from daily contact with students it might be. Marquette University and the work it does with all of its publics is a vocation, not a job…'technical' competence is simply not enough by itself – competence coupled with sincere involvement in this institution is what we should expect and insist on.”

Kliebhan and his wife Linda, who graduated from Marquette in 1974 as a physical therapist, bring a similar passion to volunteer activities. As a couple, they served as president of Kelly and Katy's high school parents association at Divine Savior/Holy Angels. Greg also was active in the family's parish school, Sts. Cecilia and James School, including serving as coach of the girls' basketball team for eight years. He also coached grade school and high school AAU basketball teams for many years.

In addition to his role as Marquette's corporate vice president, Kliebhan has served on the boards of a number of community organizations.
