Students asked to rename, redesign campus card

Thursday, October 2, 2008

Students are being given a chance to name and even help design the new campus card for the Milwaukee Area Technical College in Wisconsin. The contest is being co-sponsored by Campus Card (its current name), Student Life and TCF Bank. Current students can enter to either rename the Campus Card, redesign it, or they can try to do both.

Prizes will be given in both the best name and redesign categories and include a $75 Visa gift card plus another $75 in cash for first place, a $50 gift card and $50 cash for second place and $25 and $25 for third. If the student’s new campus card name and design are both chosen, he or she can walk away with both prizes.
