The Ignatian Year
500 years ago, a soldier was critically wounded on a battlefield in Spain when he suffered a cannonball blow to his knee. He thought his life, as he knew it, was over. Instead, his long journey back to health prompted a spiritual awakening. The course of his life changed as he came to focus on fostering reflection, community and education. That man came to be known as St. Ignatius of Loyola, who founded the Jesuits.
This year we celebrate what we are calling the Ignatian Year, which marks five centuries since that fateful battlefield injury.
Today, we have a cannonball in common, emerging from a pandemic that took a huge toll on our communities. But we also look forward to what we are calling the Ignatian Year –– which is learning how to navigate a new path.

Marquette's Community Efforts During The Pandemic
It’s been a long year since we shared the last episode of Marquette in Milwaukee. And we’ve been busier than ever. We are back today to hear about the service and research from Marquette that has helped our community during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The work on campus continues, and has far-reaching impact –– whether that’s providing essential pro bono legal services when people really need it, or helping senior citizens in the community get vaccinated.
It’s important to mention that we are in the studio and everyone here today is fully vaccinated –– we’ve been pausing the podcast until it was safe for us to gather again. And we are thrilled to be back together and in your podcast feed.

Beyond Business
A new home is coming for Marquette University’s College of Business Administration and innovation leadership programs. In a recent address, Marquette President Mike Lovell announced that the university will build in on a prominent location on the corner of 16th Street and Wisconsin Avenue, the former location of McCormick Hall. The plan calls for much more than new classrooms –– it will rethink the entire nature of an academic space – and how it integrates with campus and community.
Guests:
Dr. Joe Daniels, dean of the College of Business
Tim McMahon, vice president for University Advancement
Lora Strigens, vice president for planning and facilities management
Geri "Nana" Fotsch, president of Fotsch Family Foundation

Lauren Burke, Marquette University executive producer

The Future of Data
We live in a world of big data.
But our challenge in the coming years will be harnessing that data, and well as understanding how to use it ethically.
In recent years Marquette has both expanded data science programs in field like health care, business and the humanities.
Marquette has also forged partnership with community organizations like Northwestern Mutual and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
In this episode we discuss machine learning, statistics data analytics – and just as importantly, how to turn data into insight.
Guests:
Aundrea Price, Marquette Program Director, Health Data Analytics
Dr. Michael Zimmer, Marquette University
Dr. Shion Guha, Marquette University
Keri McConnell, Co-Director of NMDSI
Purush Papatla, Co-Director of NMDSI
Dr. Ed Blumenthal, Co-Director of NMDSI
Marquette University President Mike Lovell
Lauren Burke, Marquette University Executive Producer
