Undergraduate classes halted between 4-6 p.m. on Wednesday to allow students, faculty, representatives of varying religions such as Jesuits, Muslims and Orthodox Christians and other members of the Marquette community to attend the annual Mass of the Holy Spirit at the Church of the Gesu to welcome the
academic year. Beginning in 1548 at St. Ignatius College in Messina, Sicily, the first Jesuit school, the Mass of the Holy Spirit is a tradition celebrated to ask the Holy Spirit for gifts and wisdom in the academic year coming forward. Mass of the Holy Spirit anticipates the academic work students will do to grow in wisdom, community and faith in the up-

coming year. “We celebrate the gifts of the Holy Spirit, remembering the words of Ignatius ‘en todo amar y servir,’ 'to love and serve in all things,’" the Campus Ministry website said. Mass of the Holy Spirit is different from a typical Catholic mass because an additional number of Jesuits were concelebrating on the altar to signify unity. Additionally,
the Jesuits were all wearing red to symbolize the fire of the Holy Spirit. Kimo Ah Yun, acting university president, said that as a Catholic Jesuit University, Marquette is dedicated to developing the minds and spirits of each student.

University seal updated in Cudahy Hall By Lance Schulteis

When Marquette University introduced a redesigned university seal in 2022, a need arose to change the applications of the former mark, many of which were, quite literally, set in stone. One of the most significant seal replacements came this past summer, as the new university seal was fixed into the floor design of the Cudahy Hall atrium. The project represents the continuation of a process that began in 2020, when former Marquette President Michael Lovell assembled a committee to update the university seal. The redesign of the seal was made in an effort to be more inclusive to Indigenous communities, as the previous mark failed to tell
an accurate story. The former design featured a cut-off painting of university namesake Jacques Marquette and a Native American man in a canoe. The original painting by Wilhelm Lambrecht, “Father Marquette and the Indians”, displays Marquette receiving directions from a standing Native guide during his expedition. However, the previous seal did not include Marquette’s navigator, instead depicting Marquette as instructing the Native American man in the canoe. As the frame communicated a false sense of dominance, relationships became a focal point of the redesigned seal, as it places an emphasis on connectivity within the Marquette community and beyond.

“[The new seal] has a lot more versatility in the way it speaks to relationships,” said Samantha Majhor, an assistant professor of English and a member of Lovell’s committee. The bottom half of the seal features three stalks of wild rice, which connect the Potawatomi, Menominee and Ho-Chunk Nations that have held the land Marquette University sits on as home. “The seal is an acknowledgement to the communities that once thrived here and to the alumni and faculty members that worked hard [on it], said Ashaila Jackson, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences and president of the Native American Student Association, in an email. “We wanted to give that sort of

symbolic reference and reference this long-held relationship in the history of Marquette, going back to Father Marquette,” Majhor said. The revised seal adds to a history of Marquette working to maintain proper Native representation, Majhor said in reference to the university’s identity change from the Warriors to the Golden Eagles in 1994. “Marquette has shown itself as a leader to being attuned to shifts in how we look at this kind of representation in society,” said Majhor. “To update those things with a lot of courage, even when there’s pushback, is very meaningful.” The mark also emphasizes the Catholic Jesuit mission of Mar-
