So you answered the question with the last statement. The higher education system in the U.S. is broken. We've had a 30 year decline of support from both the federal & state government for higher education, which has caused the burden to fall on students and families, even as need is growing. This is not the case in other parts of the world, which place their highest priority on making higher education accessible for anyone. The most important thing we can do as an institution is raise money for scholarships and student aid, so that college is accessible for as many people as possible. And thank you for your question.

1) The inauguration. By far. I think just - it was just really emotional, and to have my friends and family and 3500 people gathered in the Al McGuire center celebrating Marquette and my presence... it was unbelievable.

2) One horse-sized duck. I could run away!

3) I like alternative, particularly '80s alternative.

We are getting ready to complete a master plan for campus, and both the Biology building and the Business School will be near the top of the list for new academic buildings on campus.

I'm planning on meeting with a group at the Gender & Sexuality Resource Center to understand more of their perspectives sometime later this semester.
