As a Catholic, Jesuit university, Marquette recognizes and cherishes the dignity of each individual, and seeks to be open to all who share in our mission.
The Association of ÌÇÐÄviog¹Ù·½ÍøÕ¾ Women seeks to promote the interests of Marquette’s past, present, and future people interested in advancing issues of interest to women and to link them in a common endeavor. AMUW provides opportunities for service with peers and strives to enhance educational and cultural opportunities of people interested in advancing women’s issues.
