Kudos to the UW-Whitewater grounds crew for their year-round work and willingness to go above and beyond for the campus. Zondra Morris, custodian, says, “This crew does an amazing job whether it be snow plowing, planting flowers to make the campus beautiful, mowing and many other things. Especially when it snows, this team comes in early and gets things cleaned up for the rest of us to be able to get to our buildings.”

Shop the Vintage Collection
|
We’re thrilled to share a project that has been in the works for some time. The UW-Whitewater Bookstore and University Marketing and Communications partnered with Jennifer Motszko, library associate director, to uncover original university logos from the 1970s and carefully refresh the artwork for today.
The result is a limited, uniquely curated collection that blends decades of campus spirit with modern style. This collection celebrates the legacy that makes UW-Whitewater the place to be — then, now and always. The Vintage Collection is available in-store and online. Shop the collection »
