As university president, he settled an outstanding debt of $2 million and established Marquette’s endowment fund.

Society, Marquette recognizes and thanks those who make annual gifts while encouraging others to consider their contributions to Marquette. Membership in the President’s Society offers benefits of preferred access to university information, leadership and special programs — as well as recognition in a published Honor Roll of members.

Annual membership is based on gifts of $2,500 or more received during the university’s fiscal year (July 1–June 30). Young Alumni giving levels begin at $250. Gifts may include pledge payments, cash, matching gifts, stock and gifts in kind.
