Meissner also mentioned there were two people who helped to improve the history programs at Marquette, both of which retired, and nobody stepped up to take their place.

Specifically, she said they loved meeting students and families from Omaha, where Bostic and Pluháček met and completed their undergraduate degrees.
The Faculty in Residence program has four major goals: to foster student success, particularly for undergraduate students in their first and second years; expand employee engagement; sustainability and community relations.

Right now, Nelson said he is not sure exactly how the Faculty in Residence program will benefit students’ residential life, but believes it has good intentions.
The vision for the Faculty in Residence program is for faculty participants to serve as campus community leaders and create a “clear and visible presence to help deepen integration and a more holistic student experience at Marquette.”
They said a job is what you do to pay the bills and put food on the table, but work is a part of your calling and what you feel inspired to do.
And right now, for them, Marquette’s campus is home.
However, he said that by having Marquette faculty living in the apartments, students may begin to feel less independent.

When Nelson first heard about the program, he said he thought it was an interesting idea.
“I typically don’t have long conversations or get to meet other students when we pass by,” Nelson said. “I can only imagine it will be the same when I run into my faculty neighbors … that’s not to say the faculty will ruin the community in Campus Town East.”
Heidi Bostic, dean of the College of Arts & Sciences and College of Education, and her husband, Stephen Pluháček, moved into Campus Town East, a university-owned apartment, this August. They are the first participants in a new Faculty in Residence program being piloted at Marquette University this school year.
“We both have been fortunate to find a lot of overlap between the two. We are not seeking a separation between work and life,” Bostic said in an email.
“We spoke with some parents of first-year students who were struggling with the reality of leaving their children and having to go home without them,” Bostic said in an email. “We reassured them that Marquette is a caring community that will support their students and ensure that they feel a sense of belonging and community here.”

“The first weekend before classes began, things were a little lively. Since then, it has been a wonderful and peaceful experience with many unexpected meetings with colleagues and students across campus,” Bostic said in an email. “We love the energy that comes from living around students.”
“A significant body of research suggests that students benefit from the opportunity to interact with faculty members beyond the classroom. So we hope that students will gain from additional mentoring and conversations with faculty,” Bostic said in an email. “Just imagine if a significant percentage of faculty and staff lived near campus— think about what that could mean for our Asidecommunity.”fromjust living on campus, the Faculty in Residence program will be collaborating
Joe Nelson, a senior in the College of Nursing, also considers Campus Town East his home on campus. Being close to the Sendik’s grocery store, Recreation Center and right across from the Alumni Memorial Union, Nelson said his apartment is in a convenient location.“This is my third semester living in the same room with the same roommates, and I love it here,” Nelson said. “The location on campus is unbeatable and it is centrally located next to a lot of important buildings I go to regularly during the week.”

While Bostic and Pluháček still own a house on the east side of Milwaukee, Bostic said she considers the terms “house” and “home” to be two separate things.“Ahouse is a building you can own, and a home is where you share your life with others,” Bostic said in an email. “Having lived in many different places across the U.S. as well as in Europe and South America, we have found that ‘home’ is wherever we are together.”

There’s so many of them, how do you support [them] effectively? That’s what we’re thinking about [moving forward].”Despite the challenges that come with creating a club, Spears said the opportunity was well worth it in the end.

a senior in the College of Health Sciences, said he recently created a branch of Marquette Global Brigades, an international non-profit which develops partnerships with rural communities around the world. The branch, called Public Health Telebrigade, is a sustainable development volunteer program that is entirely virtual. Mantych, the club’s campus chairperson, said his biggest advice for other students interested in starting organizations was to start the process as early as possible.
“[Our] first year, it was hard for me to get everything off of the ground,” Spears said. “It was a lot of work and you don’t always see that payoff right away. Now, going into our second year, we have a super dedicated group of volunteers who are passionate about the mission and who genuinely want to be there. It’s been a really cool thing to not only be a part of but know that [I started].”
First, a student will submit a form with a “request to organize” to Reid or another staff member. Once approved, they will then set up a meeting to create a club “constitution” which details their goals and mission. Finally, the student is required to get five signatures of other interested students and have an E-board with at least a president and vice president.

With the start of the 2022-23 school year, the responsibility of working with these clubs was given to Jen Reid, the director of the AMU. Despite this, however, Reid said the process for creating a club this year is the same as it was previously.
“I review the applications and look for duplicates,” Reid said. “If we have two groups doing essentially the same thing, we would likely deny that request and try to put those groups in contact with one another.”

increases safety.
“I definitely think ID scanning increases student safety,” Fleck said in an email. “Even if you don’t have an ID and sneak into a res hall behind someone who scanned in, having the second scan forces anyone entering to be verified. It’s a smart way to strengthen safety, and not that inconvenient because students usually already have their IDs on them anyways.”
“The response on campus was positive in terms of student participation and the added sense of security felt by residents,” Peterson said in an email. “By requiring an MUID to enter residence halls, it creates an added layer of safety for each hall’s residents by limiting the access of non-residents without proper permissions or consent.”
Similar to Ray, Cameron Heiser, a senior in the College of Business Administration and Campus Town West facility manager, said it can occasionally feel like there’s a lot going on being a student and a manager. However, Heiser said he feels like he’s been able to manage his time between the two.
Armstrong said the job was particularly appealing due to the larger apartment and increased pay, but most importantly she said for the“There’sopportunity.very few 19 or 20 year olds who can say that ‘Hey I supervise a staff, I know how to do these things and have those hard conversations,’” Armstrong said. “I appreciate the opportunity that it’s given me and the relationships that I’ve built with my staff.”

To help better manage her time, Ray said she only uses her work phone during her office hours as well as when she’s on duty.

Longhenry also said there are more plans to implement the creative process addressed in the exhibit into classes at Marquette.
The exhibit features manuscripts, both in terms of those studied by Tolkien as a medieval philologist and the ones that are now pages of the “Lord of The Rings” series. Out of the 147 manuscripts, 37 of them are on display for the first time.

“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is a five-book series written by Rick Riordan. Throughout the novels we follow our protagonist, Percy Jackson, through death-defying battles and dangerous quests against some of Greek mythology’s most terrifying characters. Percy, a normal 12-year-old boy, is living a standard life in New York City when he finds out the Greek god of the ocean, Poseidon, is

“I interviewed them asking what kind of person is she and would she fit in,” Pelaez said. “They all just gave her flying colors. They played with her, they loved her personality and she’s a team player. That’s kind of what you want.”
Bueckers brings experience and depth to the midfield unit, something Pelaez said he was looking for heading into the season. She also brings a vet eran voice and presence to the Golden Eagles.
The change in position comes from Pelaez wanting to utilize the versatility across his roster throughout games. She said she has gotten it down more defensively than offensively, which continues to be a work in progress.
Bueckers will continue to face challenges with tough competition set to come in the next month when Big East play begins. But she is up for the challenge and looking to take advantage of her second chance to play collegiate soccer. And she wants to keep winning.

There still remained a thought in the back of her mind; “could I be successful at a bigger program?” She didn’t need to fight for a starting po sition as she started 56 of 62 games. She didn’t need to fight for minutes. Nor did her stats prove that she had to try to suc ceed in the Horizon League.

Marquette women’s soc cer head coach Frank Pelaez liked what he saw on film of Buecker’s game and gathered from coaches in the Horizon League. But before he made contact with her, the third-year head coach wanted to still learn more about her.
“I told her, ‘You’re here for a short time, how quick you can know the players as much as you can off the field so that when you do communicate on the field, there’s a relationship there,’” Pelaez said. “(Then) when it comes to the play it self, she’s so adaptable to whatever we’re asking and just her high work rate that makes herBueckersdifferent.”said she has leaned on teammates such as senior midfielders Hailey Block and Isabella Cook in helping com municate better on the pitch.

Glogovsky said the War riors are a prime example of this goal. Their eSports orga nization, Golden Guardians, have multiple teams that are able to compete in different eSports titles.
He said when he started at Marquette in 2017, there was only one thing he wanted to be part of — a gaming club.
This was noticed by the Mar quette Athletics administra tion, as the club became a var sity eSports team for two years and competed in the Big East in both League of Legends and Rocket League tournaments.

In its conference finals matchup against T-Wolves Gaming, it was David and Goliath. Glogovsky said TWolves Gaming was looking like the best team in the league.
The future
“I just want to bring an en tirely different idea of eSports to Milwaukee and I know we can do it, it’s just about how long it’ll take us to do it,” Glogovsky said. “I’ll die here before that goal dies here.”

“And we got exactly what we wanted, a veteran, a very vocal leader that knew how to play all positions, knew how to command the offense but also the defense,” Glogovsky said.
Bucks Gaming made it to bracket play each of the four times this season.
It soon became a hot com modity across campus with nine competitive teams and around 140 active members at its peak, Glogovsky said.
Five years later, Glogov sky said it is a “dream come true” to have that fantasized moment fulfilled.

“To be given this platform and to be given this opportu nity is so unique and I’m so grateful for it because the Mid west is like an eSports desert,” Glogovsky said. “The fact that I can do my dream in my backyard is just surreal.
