Ask any Marquette student and they'll tell you, they keep busy!
At the beginning of each semester, student organizations gather in the Central Mall to promote their activities and invite new students to get involved.
Weekly programming is offered from offices across campus, including student government, Late Night Marquette, Campus Ministry, Center for Community Service, and the 707 Hub.
And even with their busy schedules, many Marquette students find a semester or a school break to study abroad in programs on every continent of the world except Antarctica.

Here at Marquette, there's an activity for everyone. Whether you're interested in getting involved with acapella, group service organizations, academic opportunities, research opportunities, that's available to you.
Yeah. It started getting involved with student activities for me was at O-Fest. So that first day on campus, we have all the student organizations lining the academic quad. It's great because you can pick it by your different interest. So I was able to get involved with everything from a meal program that's served twice a week right on campus, to different types of stuff from the city of Milwaukee, more engaged towards rebuilding homes and all sorts of stuff like that.
So I joined the Society of Women Engineers because I wanted to meet people who had done the same thing that I had done. And then once I kind of figured out my study habits, what campus was really like, then I started to expand into other horizons. I applied to be a tour guide. I joined Greek life.
So I like to say that Marquette has study abroad programs on every continent except for Antarctica. Some of the main programs that we offer are in Cape Town, South Africa, which is a service learning opportunity, but we also have partner organizations, exchange programs with universities in Asia, Europe, Africa, South America. Even in the United States we have a program called the Les Aspin program which the public policy opportunity where you can study in DC for a whole semester living on Capitol Hill. Those are all priceless experiences of Marquette. It does a great job of making sure you get connected to that if you're interested in studying abroad.

Aquí en Marquette, hay una labor ideal para todos. Ya sea que te interese participar en actividades a capela, en organizaciones de servicio grupal, oportunidades académicas u oportunidades de investigación, todo está disponible para ti. Sí. Comencé a involucrarme en actividades estudiantiles en el O Fest. Ese primer día en el campus, estaban todas las organizaciones estudiantiles en el patio. Es genial porque puedes escoger una según tus intereses. Así que pude inscribirme en un programa alimentario que sirve comidas dos veces a la semana en el campus, y otro tipo de cosas desde la ciudad de Milwaukee hasta planes de reconstrucción de hogares y cosas por el estilo.
Me uní a la Sociedad de mujeres ingenieros porque quería conocer a más personas que hubieran hecho lo que yo hice. Una vez que descubrí cuáles eran mis hábitos de estudio, qué campus me gustaba, comencé a expandir mis horizontes. Quise ser guía turístico. Me uní a Greek Life. Puedo decir que Marquette tiene programas de estudio en todos los continentes, a excepción de la Antártida. Algunos de los programas principales que ofrecemos están en Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica, y es una oportunidad de aprendizaje en materia de servicios, pero también tenemos varias organizaciones asociadas, programas de intercambio con universidades en Asia, Europa, África y América del Sur. Incluso en los Estados Unidos tenemos un programa llamado Les Aspin que ofrece la oportunidad de estudiar en D. C. durante un semestre completo con residencia en Capitol Hill. Esas son las invaluables experiencias que ofrece Marquette. Hace un excelente trabajo al ofrecer los recursos necesarios si estás interesado en estudiar en el extranjero. [MÚSICA]
