The Marquette Core Curriculum is the center of every ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ student’s educational experience. The newly redesigned MCC aims to better connect students to their studies—and to the world—through a thematic, tiered approach. This exhibition is the third in a series that explores the five MCC Discovery Tier themes.
Expanding Our Horizons: Exploring and Encountering the Unknown acknowledges that the search for answers is a deeply human, and interdisciplinary, project. From the impulse to create new technologies and new forms of artistic expression, to the concerted effort to develop a fuller understanding of the physical world we inhabit and the spiritual hopes that transcend it, the desire to expand our horizons captures our innate curiosity and points us toward our truest potential. The images in this exhibition reflect that spirit of inquiry.
Marquette faculty from across campus who have expertise (and often teach classes in) the MCC theme Expanding Our Horizons have selected pairs of images that address, explore, and challenge our notion of what it means to encounter and explore the unknown.
