A message from Keyes Dean of Business Administration Andrew DeGuire

Dear Marquette Business community,

Spring on campus carries with it a palpable sense of forward motion - one that reveals itself in our classrooms, our conversations, and the everyday rhythm of student life. As daylight stretches further into the evening, so too does the ambition of our students. Their determination to challenge assumptions, engage deeply with complex questions, and pursue work of lasting significance is both evident and inspiring, and it is a privilege to witness it unfold.

That spirit is especially evident in our innovative, tech-forward accounting program. Today's accountants are not just number crunchers; they are strategic thinkers fluent in data analytics, emerging technologies and dynamic global standards. Our faculty are preparing students to lead in this transformed landscape, equipping them with the tools and mindset to thrive in a profession that is rapidly being redefined.

We also see Marquette Business students embracing entrepreneurship with remarkable success. Across campus and beyond, students are launching ventures, competing in national pitch competitions and turning ideas into viable businesses. Students like Jonalie Zamora and Elliot Russell are not waiting for opportunity - they are creating it. This entrepreneurial mindset, grounded in ethical leadership and resilience, reflects the very best of what a Marquette Business education stands for.

The results speak for themselves. Marquette Business continues to stand out and produce outcomes that matter: strong placement rates, competitive starting salaries and a network of alumni who open doors around the world. These are more than statistics - they reflect the dedication of our students, the mentorship of our faculty and the strength of a community committed to excellence.

Together, these exceptional outcomes - innovation in the classroom, entrepreneurial drive and measurable success - demonstrate how Marquette Business continues to adapt while staying true to our Catholic, Jesuit mission. We are preparing graduates not only to succeed in their careers, but to lead with purpose in a complex and changing world.

Alumni, supporters, industry partners and friends, thank you for all the ways you strengthen this community. It is because of you that Marquette Business continues to thrive.

Sincerely,

Andrew DeGuire
