STORIES
Framing the moment Lindsey Chavez, Arts ’11, knew she wanted to make special gifts for her closest friends to commemorate their graduation from Marquette.
But she wasn’t quite sure how to mark the occasion
until she heard a particular passage in the Commencement address by Marquette President Scott R. Pilarz, S.J. In part, he said, “Stay close to each other and grow closer. Dance at each other’s weddings. Stand as godparents to each other’s children. Mark life’s most important moments standing at each other’s side.” Chavez had the quote printed over an outline of the state of Wisconsin, with a heart representing Milwaukee. She framed the prints and gave them to her friends.
“We were all off to different adventures, and Father Pilarz’s words rang so true,” Chavez says.
