Marquette strives to develop men and women who will dedicate their lives to the service of others and actively enter into the struggle for a more just society.
Students learn about social justice issues through conversation and exploration in the classroom as well as through experiences outside of the classroom.
Marquette offers service opportunities for any schedule, including on campus, in the Milwaukee community, throughout the country, and even as a part of our international study abroad programs.
With opportunities for sustained service and reflection through the Center for Community Service, Marquette students often find their service experiences to be personally fulfilling and academically enriching.

Hi. My name's Joe Bartoletti. I'm studying Biomedical Sciences and Spanish for the Health Professions, and I'm from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Marquette being a Jesuit school, there's a foundational concept which has us be men and women for and with others. And so I think that being a guiding principle, it means that student education and community engagement go hand in hand. Because they're both honored as vital source of knowledge.
At Marquette, we talk a lot about going forth and setting the world on fire. And part of that is learning about the social justice issues that are really important in our city, in our communities, but also in the global world. And you learn about those in your academics. And that's really important and one way of understanding those. But it's also really important that you're out in the community and learning to feel those things.
So there's a variety of different service opportunities on campus, as well as domestically for students. Everything from Big Brothers Big Sisters, to S Buddies, to all sorts of different things. And it's great, because the Center for Community Service will meet with students one-on-one and get to figure out what their needs are.
And then when it comes to also extending that beyond campus, there's a variety of different programs that do everything from winter break to spring break to the first week of summer programs all over the place, whether it be New Orleans, New York, all sorts of different cities that are going to be covered there. So it's cool because that service component, that community that you're part of, Marquette, extends to the entire country.
[MÚSICA DE FONDO]
Hola. Mi nombre es Joe Bartoletti. Estudio Ciencias Biomédicas y Español para los Profesionales de la Salud, y soy de Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Al ser Marquette una universidad jesuita, un concepto fundamental que tenemos consiste ser hombres y mujeres que estén con y para los demás. Y entonces creo que ese siendo un principio guía, significa que la educación académica y la participación comunitaria van de la mano. Porque ambas son honradas como una fuente vital de conocimiento.
En Marquette, hablamos mucho sobre avanzar y realizar cosas extraordinarias. Y parte de eso es aprender sobre los temas de justicia social que son muy importantes en nuestra ciudad, en nuestras comunidades, pero también en el mundo global. Y aprendes sobre aquellos en tus estudios. Y eso es realmente importante y es una forma de comprenderlos. Pero también es muy importante que estés afuera, en la comunidad, y que aprendas a sentir esas cosas. Así que hay una variedad de distintas oportunidades de servicio en el campus, como también dentro del país para los estudiantes. Todo desde "Big Brothers Big Sisters" a "S Buddies", hasta todo tipo de cosas distintas. Y es genial, porque el Centro de servicio comunitario se reunirá con los estudiantes a nivel individual y llegan a averiguar cuáles son sus necesidades.
Y cuando se trata de extender eso más allá del campus, hay una variedad de programas distintos donde se hace de todo, desde las vacaciones de invierno a las de verano y la primer semana de los programas de verano que tiene lugar en todas partes, ya sea Nueva Orleáns, Nueva York, toda clase de ciudades diferentes que serán abarcadas aquí. Así que es genial porque esta parte del servicio, esta comunidad a la que perteneces, Marquette, abarca todo el país.
