Marquette Law School’s Lubar Center is many things, but it is two in particular: (a) a grand room in Eckstein Hall, the site of community gatherings, and (b) a shorthand for the Lubar Center for Public Policy Research and Civic Education. With a generous endowment provided by Sheldon and Marianne Lubar, this public policy and civic education initiative has grown farther-reaching over the years. Their support reflects what Marquette University President Michael R. Lovell has characterized as “the belief of Sheldon and Marianne Lubar in our university’s ability to bring greater understanding through constructive conversations.”
