The promotion of justice and faith through service is an ideal at the center of Marquette's mission as a Catholic, Jesuit university. Sure, a university can teach philosophy and theology courses, hoping to cultivate in students the seeds of ethical and moral thought — but those seeds won't grow without action. And action is at the heart of the Marquette experience.

Marquette students respond to that call with a vigor unparalleled by most universities. Each year more than 85 percent of Marquette undergraduates participate in community service.

Community service is not required at Marquette, but few students leave here without participating. Our students — and you — can discover the best way to make a difference is by taking action.
