University Hall Minister Position Opening
Inspired by the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Hall Ministry program is grounded in the belief that faith and spirituality are integral to student development during their time at Marquette University. The goal of the Hall Ministry program is to provide pastoral care and presence to the Residence Hall Director, Assistant Hall Director, Resident Assistants, and the residents of a given community in both everyday life and extraordinary circumstances. Pastoral care means being attentive and helpful to people dealing with stress, illness, loss, loneliness, relationships, spiritual and emotional health, etc. Pastoral care also involves working to build a community which nourishes faith by helping people examine their images of God and church, their religious identity, prayer, and spiritual life. As faith leaders on campus, Hall Ministers are expected to foster ethical values and behaviors, exercising good judgment to model an appropriate lifestyle for residents and staff, expressive of and consistent with the university’s identity. In collaboration with hall staff, the Hall Minister is charged with helping form a residential community that expresses the University’s Catholic, Jesuit character, which includes welcoming students from diverse faith traditions.
Hall Ministers are required to serve an average of 10 hours per week and are required to live in the residence hall during the academic year (Aug through May). Hall Ministers are compensated through a furnished apartment year-round and a university meal plan during the academic year.

Student Org End of Semester Reminders
Final Semester Requirements – due Monday, May 13
Below are the requirements for registered student organizations to end the semester. All forms are due after final exams so plenty of opportunity to complete them in a timely manner.
- End-of-Year Transition Form
- Required so I know leadership information going into the summer and next fall. Provide some basic information on how the year went for new board members.
- Required even if some board members are staying on for another year. In this case, please use the transition memo as a summary of the year and to set some goals for next year.
- This helps everything stay in one location so it’s easy for us to make sure your new officers receive the information. It is not a replacement for actually scheduling time to transition with new board members.
- Updated Roster
- Please make sure you add any new members to your roster in your SharePoint folder. Make sure that it is up-to-date.
- Reimbursement Form
- All reimbursements should be requested before Monday, May 13, to ensure timely repayment for student organization expenses.

Faculty/Staff: Employee Parking Permit Renewal Process Action Required
Faculty and staff parking permits will not automatically renew this summer as they did with the last renewal period. Employee parkers who wish to renew their parking permit must submit a renewal application through the “Manage Your Parking Account portal,” located on the Parking Services website. Sign in using your usual MARQNET login information.
Faculty and staff parking permits expire on Aug. 15 if not renewed; 10-month permits expire on June 15. Renewed permits go into effect Aug. 1.
Employees can log into their parking account starting on Tuesday, April 23, at 9 a.m. and have until Tuesday, May 7, at 5 p.m. to renew their parking permit through the online portal. Employees who do not complete this process by May 7 will need to visit the Parking Services office, located in AMU Union Station, to complete a paper application.
The portal is only available for current permit owners. Those interested in signing up for a permit for the first time must visit the Parking Services Office.
When logging into the parking portal, employees will be prompted to confirm vehicle information, choose their parking permit type and select their parking lot or structure. Anyone who chooses a new lot or structure different than their current assignment will be notified during the summer if their request for a new assignment is granted. Parking Services cannot guarantee requested assignment changes will occur. Employees will also need to pay any open parking citations prior to renewing their permit.
For additional information regarding permit types, parking rates, and distribution instructions, please visit the full article that was posted in the Tuesday, April 23 edition of Marquette Today here.
