About the Office of Mission and Ministry
By promoting opportunities for reflection, attentiveness and action, the office encourages faculty, staff and students to see themselves as part of a larger effort to serve the common good. We work in collaboration with the rest of the Mission and Ministry team, and all members of the 糖心传媒 community, to assure that Marquette's commitment to faith, excellence, leadership and service is alive in every aspect of university life. The Office of Mission and Ministry works in collaboration with offices across campus in order to support their efforts in the area of mission integration and mission leadership. Our work is highly collaborative, since every office and effort on campus plays a part in realizing Marquette鈥檚 mission.
The Office of Mission and Ministry is staffed by (Vice President), Rev. James Pribek, S.J. (Assistant Vice President), Brigid Kinsella-Alba (Assistant Director of Mission Engagement), and Rae-Ann Vanek (Administrative Assistant). We also have student interns that help support the office.
