Boosting Success for Milwaukee Students

<description>500 years ago, a soldier was critically wounded on a battlefield in Spain when he suffered a cannonball blow to his knee. He thought his life, as he knew it, was over. Instead, his long journey back to health prompted a spiritual awakening. The course of his life changed as he came to focus on fostering reflection, community and education. That man came to be known as St. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuits. 

This year we celebrate what we are calling the Ignatian Year, which marks five centuries since that fateful battlefield injury.   

Today, we have a cannonball in common, emerging from a pandemic that took a huge toll on our communities. But we also look forward to what we are calling the Ignatian Year –– which is learning how to navigate a new path.</description>

A New Era for Marquette Men's Basketball

<description>It’s been a long year since we shared the last episode of Marquette in Milwaukee. And we’ve been busier than ever. We are back today to hear about the service and research from Marquette that has helped our community during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The work on campus continues, and has far-reaching impact –– whether that’s providing essential pro bono legal services when people really need it, or helping senior citizens in the community get vaccinated. 

It’s important to mention that we are in the studio and everyone here today is fully vaccinated –– we’ve been pausing the podcast until it was safe for us to gather again. And we are thrilled to be back together and in your podcast feed.</description>

Marquette's Community Efforts During The Pandemic

<description>A new home is coming for Marquette University’s College of Business Administration and innovation leadership programs. In a recent address, Marquette President Mike Lovell announced that the university will build in on a prominent location on the corner of 16th Street and Wisconsin Avenue, the former location of McCormick Hall. The plan calls for much more than new classrooms –– it will rethink the entire nature of an academic space – and how it integrates with campus and community. 
 
Guests: 
Dr. Joe Daniels, dean of the College of Business 
Tim McMahon, vice president for University Advancement  
Lora Strigens, vice president for planning and facilities management 
Geri "Nana" Fotsch, president of Fotsch Family Foundation
