BEAT BUCKY WEEK

TUITION RUNS OUT DAY

Did you know that Marquette tuition only covers 62 percent of the cost of a Marquette education? Tuition Runs Out Day marks the point in the school year at which tuition stops paying for a student's education and support from alumni and donors take over.

Students can take part in the second annual Marquette Tuition Runs Out Day by dropping by the Alumni Memorial Union on Thursday, Feb. 14, between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., to learn more about the significance of the day, sign a thank you card for a donor and enjoy a free snack.

Be sure to check out the signs that will be posted on campus to learn more about donations made to Marquette and read quotes from donors about why they choose to give to the university.

Thousands of alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends generously support Marquette University each year. Take this chance to show them that you are grateful for their support.
