MILWAUKEE- Marquette University President Mike Lovell revealed Thursday he’s been diagnosed with cancer.
In a lengthy Twitter thread, Lovell said he was diagnosed with sarcoma, a rare form of cancer, on Tuesday.
Lovell continued to say that other than the cancer, he is, “presently healthy, strong and ready to fearlessly take on this fight.”
Lovell has been Marquette’s President since 2014. He had previously served as the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
In July Marquette announced that it was instituting a vaccine mandate for all students who are attending class on campus this year.
