Marquette University president search launched, listening sessions soon
Marquette University
MILWAUKEE - Marquette University’s Board of Trustees officially launched on Monday, July 22 a national search for its next president, who will be the 25th in the university’s 143-year history.
Marquette’s next president will succeed Michael Lovell, who led the university for more than ten years. A news release says the university community continues to mourn Lovell's passing on June 9 following a three-year battle with sarcoma.
Officials say Marquette’s 25th president will be expected to honor Lovell’s legacy of strong leadership, particularly by championing and implementing Guided by Mission, Inspired to Change: Marquette’s strategic plan for 2031 and the Securing Our Future initiative.
