Inauguration events for President Michael R. Lovell will offer the Marquette

community a full range of opportunities to warmly welcome the university’s

The Inauguration will celebrate Marquette’s Catholic, Jesuit faith tradition

and 133-year history of academic excellence in service to others while show-

casing the innovative spirit of discovery and exploration that will lift Marquette

to ever greater heights. The theme of the Inauguration — Ignited in faith.

Alive in inquiry. Forward in service. — is inspired by the university’s rich

tradition of excellence, faith, leadership and service, as well as its commitment

to extending knowledge beyond existing boundaries in pursuit of solutions for

pressing problems and answers to life’s deepest questions.

Over the summer, the Inaugural Steering Committee and Inaugural Planning

Committees have been busy planning a variety of Presidential Inauguration

events, which will be held on campus Sept. 13-21. The week will kick off with

In doing so, we also celebrate the many students that performed, designed, built, and attended the nearly 200 shows in the Helfaer Theatre. This facility has been HOME to so many talented students. We will be offering two shows that have graced the stage of the Helfaer and two shows new to our audiences. We have another great professional partnership (with UPROOTED theatre in November) and lots of fun and excitement in store for you. Thank you for joining us in our celebration.

Mandatory online sexual misconduct prevention training rolls out in September Program builds on efforts to educate campus on sexual misconduct policies By Andy Brodzeller

During the last four years, Marquette

University has implemented a number of

programs to educate and engage the campus

about the risks, harm and impact that sexual

misconduct has on the community. Efforts have

included the implementation of a required

program for all first-year students, new proce-

dures for Title IX compliance and collaboration

with community partners, and special speakers

and events to raise awareness about sexual

violence. Additionally, this fall the university will

implement a new required training module to

educate all university employees about Title IX

and the problems of sexual misconduct.

All university employees — faculty, staff and

student employees — will receive a personalized

email the second week of September inviting

them to complete two required online programs,

one regarding Title IX and another about work-

place discrimination. Rev. Daniel Hendrickson,

S.J., associate provost for academic initiatives

and Marquette’s Title IX coordinator, believes

the Title IX program will help individuals

understand both federal and university

policies regarding sexual misconduct.

“There are numerous existing and new

policies and requirements that address sexual

misconduct on university campuses, all which

have corresponding guidelines and procedures

on how to prevent and respond to related

issues,” says Father Hendrickson, who has been

the university’s Title IX coordinator since April

2013. “The online Title IX training helps to

explain what the university is required to do

while describing the responsibility of university

employees to comply with federal, state and

university policies.”

While it’s easy to get lost in the intrica-

cies and details of federal or state law, Father

Hendrickson says it boils down to this —

employees must report all cases of sexual

misconduct to the Department of Public Safety,

such as cases of stalking, relationship violence,

sexual harassment or sexual assault, just like

they would for another crime. “The university

cannot address incidents or personally inform

members of the campus community about the

services available to them if cases of sexual

misconduct are not reported,” he says.

Recognizing the importance of addressing this

topic, managers are being encouraged to allow

staff the time needed to complete the program.

For employees who do not have access to the

Internet, computer stations will be available in

the Department of Human Resource in Straz

Tower. Employees are encouraged to take the

time needed to complete the program, and to

be mindful of their role in addressing the issue.

“In our university’s continuing pursuit of

excellence, we must devote resources to a

wide variety of initiatives that strengthen our

community,” said President Michael R. Lovell.

“Addressing the issue of sexual misconduct helps

us better provide a learning and living environ-

ment that supports everyone on campus and is

in keeping with our Catholic, Jesuit mission.”

Title IX CoordinatorsMarquette University has designated four

Deputy Title IX Coordinators around

campus to work with Father Hendrickson.

These individuals are responsible for

helping prevent sexual misconduct

through education and training, as well as

overseeing grievance protocols. For more

information about the university’s policies

on sexual misconduct and resources

available for victims of sexual violence,

FORTY years ago, in February 1975, Marquette University celebrated the first of many opening night performances in the Helfaer Theatre. During the 2014-15 theatre season, the university

will take time to reflect on and celebrate the nearly 200 shows produced at the Helfaer during the past 40 years with productions focused on the theme of “home.” Productions will include: Our Town, Sept. 25-Oct. 5, 2014; In the Red and Brown Water, Nov. 6-16, 2014; How I Became a Pirate, Jan. 10-18, 2015; The Liar, Feb. 12-22, 2015; and Company, April 9-19, 2015.

Campus Climate Study will measure diversity and inclusivenessBy Clare Peterson

In a Faculty Forum last March, Interim

Provost Dr. Margaret Faut Callahan announced

the development of a comprehensive diversity

plan, saying: “It is critical that we not only

encourage diversity, but that we continually

foster an environment that is welcoming and

respectful of every member of our community.”

Since then, a cross-section of students, faculty

and staff have formed a Climate Study Working

Group to lead a campus-wide study measuring

the climate for diversity and inclusiveness

on Marquette’s campus. Dr. William Welburn,

associate provost for diversity and inclusion,

and Dr. Cheryl Maranto, chair and associate

professor of management, are co-chairing the

study during the 2014-15 academic year.

The idea to conduct a campus-wide study

originated from interested students, faculty and

staff who believe the data will be useful to both

improve the current campus climate and to build

off areas in which the university is doing well.

“The campus-wide study is an effort to get a

sense of who we are as a community and iden-

tify areas of improvement where we can make

significant changes on campus,” Welburn says.

Under the leadership of Welburn and Maranto,

the working group selected Rankin & Associates

Consulting to help plan for and conduct a

campus-wide survey. Beginning this fall, the

working group and consultant Dr. Susan Rankin

will facilitate campus focus groups to co-develop

climate study survey questions. The survey

will focus on multiple areas of diversity and

inclusiveness, including race, ethnicity, gender

identity and sexual orientation, religious affili-

ation, disability and veteran status. The survey

will be sent to all individuals throughout the

university — students, faculty, and staff — during

spring 2015. Every response is crucial in order

to capture the experience of all members of the

Marquette community, and to provide the most

representative feedback and results.

“Until we have data that reflects the breadth

of experience of all individuals in the university,

any initiative that we might undertake will be

based on beliefs and assumptions that could be

inaccurate or at least partial — based only on

the experience of the people developing the

initiatives and the part of the university that

they inhabit,” Maranto adds.

President Michael R. Lovell, Interim Provost

Callahan and senior university leadership will

use the data and recommendations that stem

from the survey results to develop actionable

initiatives in line with Beyond Boundaries,

the university-wide strategic plan. The survey

data will also enable the university to assess

the effectiveness of the initiatives that are

undertaken in response to the findings.

The Climate Study Working Group has

committed to regularly updating the Marquette

community about the development, implementa-

tion and interpretation of the survey and results.

“The closest thing to Superman as possible.”That’s how Presidential Search Committee Chair John F. Ferraro,

Bus Ad ‘77, introduced Michael R. Lovell to the Marquette community. Ferraro’s phrase referenced not only Lovell’s leadership and

academic qualifications — but also his physical fitness.President Lovell, 47, is an avid triathlete and marathoner, which he

credits for helping him lead. He’s currently competing in the Milwaukee Biz Times’ Fittest Executive Competition and will race Al’s Run & Walk for Children’s Hospital on Sept. 13 with Head Men’s Basketball Coach Steve Wojciechowski to kick off a week of Presidential Inauguration events.

“Fitness should be a priority for any executive,” he says. “It helps with relieving stress and gives you more energy so that you can really focus and be productive.”

President Lovell completed his fastest marathon in 2:47, and recently recorded a personal best triathlon at the Door County Half Ironman (1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike, 13.1-mile run). He also competed in the USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships and finished in the top half of the best triathletes from across the country.

In an average summer week, President Lovell runs 50 miles, bikes 125 miles, swims 8,000 yards and strength trains. He works out at campus facilities such as the Rec Plex alongside students and colleagues.

“I meet a cross section of people on campus and across the city while training,” he says. “I particularly like working out with students and training with the campus running and cycling groups.”

President Lovell encourages faculty and staff to take advantage of the university’s Employee Wellness offerings to relieve stress, be more productive and improve quality of life.

“I’ve had numerous people tell me they thought to themselves, ‘If Mike has time to do it, I should find time to do it,’” he says.

The top five items sold in the Marquette Brew locations during the 2013–14 academic year were:

1. Coffee — more than 32,000 cups sold

2. Muffins — more than 25,000 sold

3. Bagels — more than 23,000 sold

4. Fruit cups — more than 20,000 sold

5. Luna Bars — more than 15,000 sold

MARQUETTE HAPPENINGS

MARQUETTE MATTERS

In 1973, Marquette’s Jesuits moved from various locations across

campus into Heraty Hall (formerly the Stratford Arms Hotel), creating

a communal and decidedly symbolic home known affectionately as the

“Jes Res.” Four decades later, the university has broken ground on the

priests’ new home, courtesy of a successful $15 million fundraising effort.

Like its aged predecessor, the new 40,000 square-foot Jesuit Residence

will be a central campus fixture, flanked by the Alumni Memorial Union

and Schroeder Hall and located on the 1400 block of West Wells Street.

The project’s lead gift came in January when an anonymous benefactor

earmarked $7.5 million of a $10 million gift for the building. Shortly after,

alumni couple Ray and Kay Eckstein donated $5 million through their

charitable trust, and two recent $1 million gifts from The Bernice Shanke

Greiveldinger Charitable Trust and an anonymous alumnus and his wife

propelled the project forward.

President Michael R. Lovell earlier this summer expressed gratitude for

the donors’ commitment to the university’s Catholic, Jesuit heritage.

“In my short time on campus, I’ve already been amazed at the gener-

osity and passion of our Marquette University alumni base,” President

Lovell said. “Our Jesuit priests have been instrumental in educating so

many generations of students, and this important residence will ensure

they remain at the center of our campus and educational experience

well into the future.”

According to Rev. Jeffrey LaBelle, S.J., rector of the Jesuit community,

the new facility will emphasize the Jesuit commitment to higher education

and will underscore the university’s identity and tradition.

“Pope Francis has led by example in remarkable ways when it comes

to connecting with the people, and our new, more visible and more

accessible residence at the center of campus will help us to follow this

same leadership style,” Father LaBelle said.

The five-story building will feature 25 resident rooms and five guest

rooms, as well as a chapel and garden space. The current Jesuit Residence

will eventually be torn down to increase green space on campus.

New department chairs for 2014-15 academic yearSeveral departments across campus have new chairs for the 2014-15 academic year. Captain Daniel Olson, professor of naval science, will chair the Department of Naval Science; Dr. Nancy Snow, professor of philosophy, will chair the Department of Philosophy; Dr. Brian Bennett, professor of physics, will chair the Department of Physics; Dr. Robert Masson, associate professor of theology, will chair the Department of Theology; Dr. Anthony Pennington-Cross, professor of finance, will chair the Department of Finance; Dr. John Pauly, professor of jour-nalism and media studies, will chair the Department of Journalism and Media Studies; Dr. Scott D’Urso, associate professor of communication studies, will chair the Department of Communication Studies; Dr. April Harkins, associate professor of clinical laboratory science, will chair the Department of Clinical Laboratory Science; and Dr. Kim Halula, associate dean and clinical professor, will be the interim chair of the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology.

Fundraising goal surpassed for fiscal year 2014University Advancement exceeded its $50.4 million fundraising goal for fiscal year 2014 by nearly $10 million, raising a total of $60.7 million. The amount raised is nearly 30-percent higher than the fiscal year 2013 total of $47 million and $10 million more than was raised in 2012. Included in this year’s total are nine gifts in excess of $1 million, a marked increase over just three gifts of $1 million or more received in 2013. Fundraising was successfully completed for two significant university priorities — the Dental School expansion and the new Jesuit Residence — and 39 new scholarships were created. In all, nearly 28,000 benefactors invested in 850 different university funds. Annual giving was also above goal at $11 million, including a record high $4.3 million to the Blue & Gold Fund.

Academic integrity initiatives being rolled out this yearAfter 18 months of work by the Academic Integrity Steering Committee, new initiatives highlighting the importance of academic integrity on campus are being implemented during the 2014-15 academic year. Together with Dr. Gary Meyer, vice provost for undergraduate programs and teaching, incoming students recited the Honor Pledge at New Student Convocation on Aug. 20. In addition, all under-graduate students will need to complete a mandatory online academic integrity tutorial and demonstrate mastery before registering for spring 2015 courses. More information and resources for faculty, staff and students can be found online at marquette.edu/academic-integrity.
