Student Services We know that learning occurs outside, as well as inside, the classroom. Our core values of excellence, faith, leadership and service are fostered through student participation in our residence hall communities and campus organizations, which include academic and professional groups, club and recreational sports, spiritual activities and community service organizations. Marquettes urban location, just blocks from downtown Milwaukee, gives students ample opportunties for internships, co-op experiences and part-time employment. On campus, professionals in theOffice of Student Affairs, Student Health Service, Counseling Center and Campus Ministry, as well as faculty and other staff, help students as they navigate the challenges of young adult life.
