President Kimo Ah Yun

“We are primarily called to serve God, and we do this by changing the lives of our students. I hope you felt it, I hope you have experienced it and I hope that you have grown because of your. The transformation trip you have gone through is different for each. Marquette.

Diane foley, 2025 Bachelor opening speaker

“Today I ask you to find your purpose. What injustice do you want to correct? Listen to the movements of your heart. As the Holy Ignatius teaches us, pay attention to what bothers you.

“Dear graduates, you expect life to challenge them. You too will have setbacks and losses. If you do this, remember that you always have the choice. You have the choice of including this world or not. Pope Francis challenged us to be pilgrims of love, hope and mercy.”

Anne Basting, 2025 Graduate opening speaker

“From the point of view of life, memories are stories from attention, emotions and human connection. And from then on they can make these moments. Moment for the moment, for the moment you can fill your life with you, for your friends, your neighbors, your colleagues, your colleagues, your colleagues, who have blessed with you, have blessed with you. Despair about the rainy vacation.”

Justice Osondu, double major for public relations and theology and student Speaker 2025 Student

“Today we also celebrate life. People in the seats around us, the strangers, friends and friends became the family.

“In a society that is more fragile than ever before, we can use our power to support, support and build bridges for others. The world no longer needs executives who hunt status, but leaders who oblige their time to others.”

Jacob Dinicola, graduate of the College of Nursing and Baccalaureate Mass Student spokesman

“As children of Christ, we are reminded that we are both many and one. Just when we pay attention to ourselves, we are called to do this for the vocal and marginalized. If we live as a servant, we serve our neighbor and God together. My hope is, although our time, when we have Marquette, is to be a different obligation to recognize and recognize that our Catholic Jesuit education drives us to act and reminds us of our own identity.

“Marquette often reminded us to be the difference. If we know that, we ask ourselves the following: How are we called up to be on duty to be on duty? How are we called to set the world on fire?”
