T-Shirt Madness

T-Shirt Madness was created in 2021 as a way to increase engagement and help employers maintain visibility despite travel restrictions during the pandemic. The event was very popular, so it was brought back this year. Coinciding with and modeled after everyone’s favorite basketball tournament, the T-Shirt Madness event gives College of Business students the opportunity to meet Corporate Partners. Participating partners create a t-shirt design and provide 100 shirts to give away to students. Partners also pay a registration fee that is used for scholarships and a portion of the food costs, which is shared with the College. Students vote on their favorite each Thursday, for three weeks, meet with the partners, and pick up lunch and a t-shirt. On the fourth week, College of Business departments enter their designs. The winners from weeks 1-3 participate in the Championship Round on the fifth week.
