And announces its unveiling in a very Scoop-inspired story.

GIF-tastic!
I nearly had a seizure reading that post.
Yeah. A little too cute for my tastes.

I think it's targeted to the type of folks that live on Medium, use GIFs all the time, and want to be entertained all the time
Millenials
This will help recruiting.
Its not even Friday at 5 pm, hey?
Looks like someone at the university discovered crappy clickbait listicle buzzfeed articles.
Marquette Community - Students, Faculty, and Community Partners.
Maybe someday they will remember Alumni
I'm ok with the format, I understand the high cholesterol sweater vest crowd might not.
But, this was about the process. What are the conclusions? What are they planning on doing?
This is the future of journalism, guys. Like the future of politics that is now upon us, it is now empty and void of substance
I'm not sure it is "empty and void of substance." It is an announcement that the new campus master plan will be unveiled. It is just done so in a "non-traditional" way. (Hey to Chicos.)
I think Lovell tweeted that it would be revealed today at 3 CT.
I am pretty sure that this isn't official Marquette communication. It is written by a friend of glow jr. who graduated last year and has a job somewhere else. My guess is that this is basically her personal Marquette fanpage (and not just sports). This entire site is basically a collection of Marquette-related blogs, mostly written by students and recent alumni.
If you don't like it, don't read it. There are countless other posts on the Interwebs that might not offend your sensibilities as much.

Don't be hating on buzzfeed now.

The style of listicle that's bullet point - gif - bullet point - gif is inane, useless, and exists just to be clickbait. It also has the side effect of being created in a manner where the "media" companies exploit content creators to produce that drivel for them.
If buzzfeed has managed to develop a legitimate non-clickbait business, good for them, but I will maintain my hatred for bullet point - gif clickbait to the grave.

You are correct. I missed the "stories.marquette.edu" part of the webpage.
I was directed to this page by Marquette's official twitter account though.

Marquette's Twitter also directs you to Father Marquette's Twitter feed, which is basically a statue of our beloved namesake making random observations, often in French. However, I don't think they would put the statue in front of a microphone at an official press conference. ;)
Besides, doesn't the Athletic Department often retweeted the basketball players? How many of those are chock full of substance?

Im not saying its the highest quality of journalism, but its sure as hell entertaining. There are actually some very good long form pieces from buzzfeed, they have some talented writers as well but more so along the multimedia side for youtube content.

Easy now...I'm friends with her as well. She's an excellent writer from when I had class with her.

I'm sure it's not too late to join Trump's campaign staff, Keefe.
Any news on what was actually discussed yesterday about the Master Plan? I went to the Marquette website and found nothing, same as looking at a few Google searches.
Is this new news?

I watched it - very interesting plans for the future. As a COB grad, I love the Innovation Alley development. They started offering more classes with engineering basics as part of the curriculum so I like the idea of trying to put these disciplines together on campus as well.
For anyone considering watching the presentation and only interested in the sexy plans/visuals, skip past the guy in the bow tie and you'll be set.
