Service is a significant part of most students’ Marquette experience through New Student Orientation, in student organizations, as part of residence floor activities, in classes, and as part of leadership development programs and athletic teams' activities. The Office of Student Development at Marquette University coordinates community service programs like Best Buddies, Habitat for Humanity, literacy training, jail visitations and Hunger Clean Up.  The OSD invites Marquette student to strive to “Be the Difference!”
