Marquette University, a private, coeducational, Catholic, Jesuit institution in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, seeks an enthusiastic and visionary leader to serve as President. As the chief executive officer, the 25th President will build on Marquette's rich tradition of Catholic, Jesuit liberal arts education and boldly lead the university into the future.
Marquette is committed to excellence, faith, leadership and service. Marquette's mission is the search for truth, the discovery and sharing of knowledge, the fostering of personal and professional excellence, the promotion of a life of faith, and the development of leadership expressed in service to others.
The university enjoys strong enrollment with approximately 11,400 students: 7,700 undergraduates (1,900 first-year students), 3,700 graduate and professional (i.e., dental, education, health sciences, law and nursing) students; students typically come from all 50 states and more than 60 countries. Founded in 1881, Marquette is one of 28 Catholic, Jesuit universities in the United States and is the largest private university in Wisconsin. Marquette's attractive 90-plus-acre campus on the edge of Milwaukee's downtown is home to a highly collegial community with more than 1,200 faculty members.
In 2031, Marquette University will celebrate 150 years of serving God by delivering to its students a transformative education rooted in its Catholic, Jesuit tradition. Heading into this milestone, the university remains committed to its mission, vision and guiding values. The Board of Trustees endorsed Marquette University's new strategic plan for 2031: Guided by Mission, Inspired to Change in 2023. This aspirational, actionable plan is the culmination of a yearlong, campuswide process of discernment, exploration and collaborative problem solving, and it calls the Marquette community to build upon its strong foundation and collective strengths in teaching, research and innovation, as the university continues to adapt and evolve.
Recognizing the educational challenges of the 21st century, the President will:
- Serve as a compelling spokesperson for Catholic, Jesuit
education within the university and beyond. Be the chief advocate
and leader of the university's mission.
- Nimbly address and meet the challenges facing higher education
while enhancing Marquette's commitment to the almost 500-year-old
Jesuit education tradition.
- Expand the university's resources, particularly through
philanthropy, by serving in a prominent role of cultivating and
soliciting donors, as well as providing leadership in Marquette's
next comprehensive campaign.
- Lead efforts to enhance and implement the strategic plan and
execute the Securing Our Future initiative.
- Inspire a cohesive, high-functioning leadership
team.
- Grow and strengthen Marquette's diverse community and culture of inclusiveness and belonging.
