MU Vanity Plates In WI

[Chili]

Marquette's requirements are that you have to graduate to be considered an alumnus.  Other schools have different standards.  Where I work, you have to complete two years to be considered an alum.  However we don't know about you unless you "self-identify" yourself as an alumnus.

That is false according to the alumni office. Anyone who attended is considered an alum according to MU. You are just not a graduate.

I actually called them before making my post.  I could have gotten wrong information.  But I specifically lied and told them that I only completed three years, and they said I was not an alum.

Red Volvo wagon?  I think that's Dr. Meyer, he had AU N Eagle last year.

He lives a block from me .. lets his kids pick a new plate every year.  Has something different now.

One of my all time favorite professors....

Saw a guy going to the Pitt game with the vanity plate MU Law. Dunno if that's someone on this board but I can imagine how many other people want that plate.

I can't imagine wanting the world to know I'm a lawyer.

I would think twice about road-raging on you if I saw that plate out of fear that you'd sue my pants off

Are you positive on that? I heard for Marquette Magazine purposes and stuff, you only need so many credits.

Don't have to be a graduate to donate is probably what the angle is there.

Thought I should revive this post just to inform everyone that the State Senate will hear this bill today. they're hearing a bunch of bills that are expected to pass unanimously so I assume this'll be one of those. I'd love to see (and support) a hardcore badger fan vote against this bill, just for fun (http://www.dawgsports.com/2009/1/28/738424/u-s-representative-jack-ki).

If Chicos had intro music everytime he was about to post, the music would be blaring right now...

So, is there a design out there already - or will that follow the legislation getting passed?

Probably will be the monogram, seal or logo. hopefully the monogram in seal.

can't wait for the freedom from religion nutjobs to start suing over this.

Approved unanimously a bill to create state license plates honoring Marquette University, sending it to Doyle.

The plates would cost $90 a year - $15 more than standard plates.

Unless you are already familiar with it, a driver on the highway, especially if driving in another state, would not be able to figure out what the University Seal even says.  The Seal and the "Marquette Logo" look great on letterhead, not on a license plate.

My vote would be for the Athletics Monogram.

From today's MU News Briefs-

http://www.marquette.edu/about/license_plates/

March 15, 2010 - Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle has signed legislation which will enable Marquette alumni, fans and friends to order specialized license plates carrying the blue-and-gold Marquette monogram. State Sen. Jeff Plale and Rep. Pedro Colon sponsored the legislation.

Allowing approximately six months for design and processing, the license plates should be available by the fall of 2010. Those requesting the plates will pay a $15 one-time fee for the specialized plate, which can be used for 10 years.

If you would like to receive a courtesy e-mail from Marquette when the plates are available for registration and purchase, please enter your name and e-mail address in the form on the right.
