UWM Chancellor named MU President

[Real Chilly Podcast]

For those worried about his resume, I thought Apollo 13 was a great movie, and hell, 7th Street is already named after him!

Sounds like a good hire

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Does this mean the UWM v. MU basketball "rivalry" will return?

[4everwarriors]

Well, he ain't meetin' with Shaka today, aina?

[copious1218]

I'm not going to knock the hire because I don't know enough about him, but is this concerning to anyone else:


"But in recent weeks, as several people asked me to keep an open mind"

This all happened in a few weeks?

[Niv Berkowitz]

From an engineering perspective, MU has improved the perception of the school over the last decade IMHO. I base that on the number of people from MU that intern and work where I'm at (I'm not always in Tel Aviv).

But....there's already a specialty engineering school in Milwaukee...MSOE. It's wayyyyy better of a program. Now, the one school that I think/perceive MU to be known for is the Law school. So, I'm surprised they went with more of an engineering background versus legal one.

Also, I'm sorry, but call it my MU snootiness, but I thumb my nose at UWM. I know a lot of people that went there and that place from an academic standpoint....I don't have a ton of respect for. That's me and my perception, and perception is reality.

Let's not turn this into a "Is He Catholic Enough according to my own personal definition of what it means to be Catholic" thread

+ 1,000.

Love the hypocrisy floating around here.

[StillAWarrior]

What exactly would you like to see?

Stigmata

[chapman]

Plus, he seems much more relatable to students than our past president.

___________ would be much more relatable to students than our past president.

GO!

[melissasmooth]

Stigmata

Would make walking to class more interesting

[Real Chilly Podcast]

Mitt Romney would be much more relatable to students than our past president.

GO!

Lovell is a great hire .. another (former) neighbor of mu_hilltopper until UWM bought a new Chancellor's Residence ..

Yup.  Now they're our neighbors.  That's my kiddo trick or treating there (name drop name drop name drop, lol).  Seriously though-  The husband just texted me to see if I could whip up some blue and gold cupcakes to take over there when he gets home from work.  Yup, I'll get right on that while I'm home all day with 3 very small children (actually if I can get the baby and the 2 year old napping together in the afternoon, I'll enlist the 4 year old, and see what we can do).

Stigmata

The best possible answer to my question.

[The Love House]

"You are just a bunch of self-serving, elitist snobs who add nothing to the community while rambling on and on about how great Chicago is.  Also, you lay in bed at night, snuggling your yellow sweater vest."

There's a joke in this somewhere...

Patents and Patent Applications:

US Patent #7296361, Measuring Device and Methods of Measuring Internal Body Cavities

[NavinRJohnson]

Too funny...



@MarquetteU: It's a done deal. Please welcome Michael Lovell as the next president of Marquette University. http://t.co/YSqdXXAC24 http://t.co/hpMIesDGsI

[Zombie45]

He has not even had a speech yet and we are tearing him down

[mikekinsellaMVP]

Now im curious. Which player?

Sadly, it escapes me.  One of the young guys in 07-08.

From an engineering perspective, MU has improved the perception of the school over the last decade IMHO.

Dwyane Wade introduced me to Marquette.  The CoE sold me on Marquette.  And with a new building and national recognition for faculty and students, I'm selfishly glad we have one of the nerds piloting the boat.

Marquette's social media game is strong.

MU is #1 trolling university in the country

[Wojo'sMojo]

Were Lovell and Howland at Pitt at the same time? Makes it a little more interesting if they were.

[GoldenWarrior11]

Who runs the university's twitter accounts?

And we wonder why some people perceive MU alumni as arrogant. I know a lot of people at MU that I don't have a lot of respect for - as with most universities, it is what you make it.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

Hey, one of the highlights of my MU career was witnessing the 20 minute conversation between a basketball player and an OP clerk, explaining why condoms couldn't be purchased with MarquetteCash.  Would you find that kind of comedy gold at your heathen UW institutions?

back in the day, Joyce or Tony at OP would have hooked a dude up with that.

[Warriors10]

Marquette's social media game is strong.

They have no reason to mock unless what you are mocking about is true...
