Morgridge Hall, the new home for the School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences will open its doors this fall. To celebrate, we are creating limited-edition stickers. And we want help like students from you!
All UW–Madison students are invited to create a unique work of art for our sticker competition. The selected design will be made into a sticker that will be shared at all Morgridge Hall opening events, including the Morgridge Hall Ribbon-Cutting Celebration.
The winning designer will be invited to attend the Morgridge Hall Ribbon-Cutting Celebration, will receive Wisconsin gear from University Book Store, a limited-edition giveaway item, and will receive a feature on our social media and website.
Submission Deadline: Friday, June 30th
Sticker Theme: Home Sweet Home
Morgridge Hall is the brand-new, state-of-the-art home for the School of Computer, Data & Information Sciences (CDIS). At 343,000 square feet, it’s the largest privately funded academic building in UW–Madison’s history. Opening in September 2025, Morgridge Hall will unite the top-ranked departments of Computer Sciences, Statistics, and the Information School—alongside Biostatistics & Medical Informatics and the American Family Insurance Data Science Institute—all under one roof for the first time.
To mark this historic milestone, we’re inviting you to design a sticker that captures the spirit of Home Sweet Home. Your design should celebrate the grand opening of Morgridge Hall and the energy, pride, and community it represents. Think bold, fun, and meaningful—something students, alumni, and visitors will be excited to collect and keep as a lasting memory of this once-in-a-generation moment.
