Graduated magna cum laude in spring, now starts as defender while working on an MBA.
Michael Alfano faced a tough choice last May — try to parlay his magna cum laude degree in marketing from Marquette into a full-time job, or enroll in graduate school and complete his soccer eligibility. He chose the latter, saying that he couldn't let his teammates down after all they'd been through. Alfano said he couldn't be happier, as Marquette is 5-0-0 in the Big East heading into a home match Wednesday night against nationally ranked Georgetown. He attends night classes at MU toward his MBA and also interns during the day at Harley-Davidson, making him one of the few graduate students in the country also playing NCAA Division I athletics. "He's really an ideal student-athlete," said Marquette men's soccer coach Louis Bennett. "He's …

The future of Kohl's headquarters is uncertain, but the corporation's influence in the village is far from in doubt.
In 1962, Kohl’s Corp. opened its first retail store in Brookfield. In 48 years, the company has expanded rapidly and is now a major national retailer with 1,067 stores in 49 states. And for decades, it has been a mark of pride in the village that Kohl’s, a company that reported $17.1 billion in sales in 2009, calls Menomonee Falls home. However, the company’s future presence in the village is far from certain. Last week, Kohl’s CEO Kevin Mansell said the company is still considering all its options for a new location – including moving out of state. Recent reports indicate that Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett and Muskego Mayor Kathy Chiaverotti may also be lining up to court Kohl’s. Kohl's a big player in the village For Menomonee Falls …
