The President's Challenge

About

(Note: For information on the challenge, please visit the President's and Chancellor's Challenge.)

Developed in 2018 in partnership with JCI, the President's Challenge, as it was then called, began awarding Marquette faculty, staff, students and community partners with funding to develop and implement their ideas to change the trajectory of lives in our community.

The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee joined the partnership in 2022, inspiring its renamed as The President's and Chancellor’s Challenge. The Medical College of Wisconsin is joining the collaboration for the upcoming cycle (2025).

This cross-town partnership expands the work of faculty and community members throughout the Milwaukee area.
