Crossing 21st And State: Marquette-Milwaukee Relations, Gina Richard
3210 English Undergraduate Research: Ethnography of the University
This project delves into relations between Marquette University and the Milwaukee community, analyzes potential issues, and suggests proposals for continued change. Through field observations, multiple interviews, and wide scholarly research, I've ascertained that Marquette University, a school long-deemed isolationist and elite, is at a pivotal point in their community engagement.
