Former Marquette men’s basketball star guard Dwyane Wade will be Marquette’s 2022 Commencement speaker, a high-ranking university official has confirmed to the Marquette Wire.
One of Marquette’s most decorated athletes, Wade helped the Golden Eagles to their first Final Four appearance in 2003 since its national championship season in 1977. In Marquette’s 83-69 win over No. 1-overall seed Kentucky in the Elite Eight, Wade finished with 29 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists.
Wade was named a consensus first team All-America and the Conference USA Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year in 2003.
