Lemonis Center for Student Success dedication features blessing, ribbon cutting

Members of the campus community took part in the dedication of the Lemonis Center for Student Success on Friday, Sept. 13. The space was blessed prior to a ribbon-cutting ceremony featuring Marcus and Bobbi Lemonis, who donated a $15 million gift to make the Lemonis Center possible.

Marcus Lemonis, star of HGTV's The Renovator, CNBC's The Profit and chairman and CEO of Camping World, is a 1995 Marquette alumnus of the Helen Way Klingler College of Arts and Sciences.

Centrally located and highly visible, the Lemonis Center for Student Success provides wraparound services for students across all majors, academic abilities and backgrounds to enrich and expand student opportunities from the moment they step on campus until they graduate.

Services include:

• The Ask Me Desk, which serves as a first point of contact when students are not sure who to ask questions or where to get guidance during their journey at Marquette.
• Tutoring: Tutoring is a free service available to all students. Programs offer support for select freshman and sophomore courses (1000 and 2000 levels) that have historically been challenging subjects for students.
• Career guidance and major exploration: The Marquette University Career Center partners with undergraduate students, graduate students and alumni to provide guidance for choosing a major, exploring career paths, engaging in enriching career-related experiences, preparing and searching for internships and jobs, and, ultimately, pursuing lives with purpose.
• Academic coaching: The center's academic coaches provide students with semester-long academic support in areas such as time management, procrastination, test preparation, and note-taking and reading strategies.
• Spaces for collaboration.
• Lemonis Center-specific programming
