Hats off to my alma mater, Marquette University, and its students for another social media coup. This time the University engineered a "rave" at its library. The video "Raynor Rave at Marquette University" is all over the Web today and it even landed on SI.com with this blurb:
"Timothy of Milwaukee, says: "What happens when its freezing cold outside during Marquette University finals week? You go flood the library with hundreds of people, blast Miley Cyrus, and body surf," while Chris Wetmore of Broomfield, Col., says, "As you probably know it is finals week all of the country for most universities. Here at Marquette we decided why not throw a flash rave in our library, Club Ray. This is what happened."
For the final night of final exams last night, students crashed Marquette University's Raynor Library and rocked out.
Students Ryan Glazier, Bryan Miguel and Chris Mason with, according to Glazier "extensive support of the student body" organized the bash. Glazier added in an e-mail, "It was a great time. Good to be a MU student!"

A life-long and passionate community leader and Milwaukeean, Jeff Sherman is a co-founder of OnMilwaukee.
He grew up in Wauwatosa and graduated from Marquette University, as a Warrior. He holds an MBA from Cardinal Stritch University, and is the founding president of Young Professionals of Milwaukee (YPM)/Fuel Milwaukee.
Early in his career, Sherman was one of youngest members of the Greater Milwaukee Committee, and currently is involved in numerous civic and community groups - including board positions at The Wisconsin Center District, Wisconsin Club and Marcus Center for the Performing Arts.

He owns a condo in Downtown and lives in greater Milwaukee with his wife Stephanie, his son, Jake, and daughter Pierce. He's a political, music, sports and news junkie and thinks, for what it's worth, that all new movies should be released in theaters, on demand, online and on DVD simultaneously.
He also thinks you should read OnMilwaukee each and every day.
