Is really well done. Marquette recently dedicated their new $85 million building with Justice Scalia as the keynote speaker, I imagine this is part of a well planned marketing push centered around their new facilities.
I'm guessing that some people may think commercials are a bad idea, but I think this video was a pretty good use of resources (NB: I have no idea how much these things cost, so I might reassess after learning the price-tag). In any case, in 1:46 I learned a few things about Marquette that I wouldn't have known before: a sports law institute, water law programs, Catholic heritage, and a nice new building that looks like a great place to study and work. In my mind that video was a better use of marketing dollars than a glossy post card that goes from mailbox to recycling bin. If you're going to spend money on marketing this was a nice way to do it.
With that said, in the world of university advertising, I'm really partial to the University of Texas ads by Walter Cronkite.
