Marquette University

Inauguration

Inauguration events for Dr. Michael R. Lovell offered the Marquette community a full range of opportunities to warmly welcome our 24th president to campus through worship, reflection and celebration.

The Inauguration celebrated Marquette's Catholic, Jesuit faith tradition and 133-year history of academic excellence in service to others while showcasing 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. — was inspired by the university's rich tradition of excellence, faith, leadership and service. The Inauguration reflected Marquette's commitment to extending knowledge beyond existing boundaries in pursuit of solutions for pressing problems and answers to life's deepest questions.
