Just launched: 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.
