Excited to say that I've accepted a position as senior writer/editor at @MarquetteU and will begin work there Oct. 4.

Chris was working for the AP. I wonder if this has anything to do with the Enlund news.

What would you write for at Marquette. Does the alumni magazine have that big of a budget?

Edit: It looks like he's giving up sportswriting per another post.

He'll be in Marketing and Communication, I'd guess. Writing alumni features and other stuff.

I hit him up, here is his response.... I will be writing for alumni magazine, various college publications and the website.

Guys like this are fleeing newspapers right now. I just hired a guy with 25+ years writing and editing experience from a newspaper for a decent salary, but hardly out of reach. This doesn't surprise me in the least.
