Foley, a 1996 graduate, was a freelance journalist who was captured and beheaded by ISIS in Syria in 2014. His friend Dr. Tom Durkin, research and grant coordinator in the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences, shared a reflection on his time with Foley and his lasting legacy with Marquette Today earlier this fall.

Dr. John and Diane Foley, James Foley's parents, will be in attendance at the show.
