CONTEST: Create Your Department Mascot as a Cartoon and Win!
No offense to Artie, he’s great and all. But would you maybe like to take a whack at creating your department’s own mascot?
Oh, you didn’t know Artie? Well, that’s Artie. For sure you’ve seen him around, posting around elevators, lobby desks, and whatnot. But, this is not about Artie.
This is about your own department and its own mascot… Oh,right, your department doesn’t have one.
How about this? Why don’t you design your own school s mascot by making a cartoon, and we’ll make it worth your while with a cool prize?
Yep, let’s get everyone to join, and get good ol’ Artie some fresh new company around campus! The days of isolation are over, why leave him in it, right?
