On this episode of The Upswing presented by Horicon Bank, WTMJ’s Jeff Sherman welcomes back Marquette University President Kimo Ah Yun and Marilyn Jones, the university’s inaugural director of the Lemonis Center for Student Success.
Jones, a first-generation immigrant from Costa Rica and first-generation college student, shares her perspective on building stability and upward mobility for Marquette students. Together, she and President Ah Yun discuss the university’s continued focus on student success retention — and how the Lemonis Center turns those goals into action with tutoring, mentoring, and wellness support under one roof.
The conversation also highlights Marquette’s Jesuit mission of inclusion and community, extending beyond campus into Milwaukee. And, as Thanksgiving approaches, the guests share their personal traditions that remind us what connection and gratitude truly mean.
