St. Joan of Arc Chapel is not only beautiful but historical, this campus sanctuary dates back to the 15th century, so why not take a piece of medieval France with you on your phone!

15. Studying or traveling abroad

Leaving campus and possibly leaving the country, studying abroad is likely to be one of the most life-changing experiences you will have at Marquette. Photos from this trip can last a lifetime.

16. Graduation

A picture is truly worth a thousand words, especially when the time has come for you to step away from your on-campus Marquette journey and continue growing in the outside world. What better way to capture years of growth and education than snapping a photo in your cap and gown?

17. National Marquette Day

A day to celebrate Marquette means a day to celebrate you! Make sure to take lots of pics of you and your friends rocking your Marquette gear every National Marquette Day.
