Welcome to the Arrupe Center for Community Service and Social Responsibility! 

"To be just, it is not enough to refrain from injustice. One must go further and refuse to play its game, substituting love for self-interest as the driving force of society." - Fr. Pedro Arrupe

Inspired by the values of Father Pedro Arrupe, we cultivate a deep commitment to service in our students, helping them understand and embrace their roles in community to create a more just world. Through immersive and meaningful engagement, we nurture student growth and leadership, foster belonging, dialogue across differences, and form collaborative partnerships with our neighbors in Milwaukee and beyond. 

Marquette strives to develop men and women who will dedicate their lives to the service of others, actively entering into the struggle for a more just society.

Students must let the gritty reality of this world into their lives, so they can learn to feel it, think about it critically, respond to its suffering and engage it constructively.

Our signature events include: Welcome to the Neighborhood, Make A Difference Day, Justice in Action, MLK Service Day and Marquette Community Day of Service.
