Community Service:
Service is one of the main pillars of the mission at Marquette University, and as such community service plays a major role in the Marquette student-athlete experience. The goal for the 2016-17 school year is for the student-athletes to reach 3,000 hours of community service. From this year's start date of April 1, 2016, Marquette student-athletes have collectively surpassed this goal and completed a total of 4,188 community service hours over 56 different locations around Milwaukee. This is almost double the amount of hours from last year at this time and triple the number of locations. Hours will continue to be tallied until the year's end date of April 1, 2017.
