Enter a Contest to Name the New Campus Store

The university is looking for students, faculty and staff to enter a contest to name the new campus store, which will be built on the first floor of the Henry Student Center over the summer. They want students to get creative with the new names and are inviting Wilkes students to submit appropriate Wilkes-themed names for the store. 

If interested, suggestions can be submitted until April 28. Submissions will be narrowed down to the top five by May 1 and shared with the entire campus community for a vote. The student who submits the winning name will receive Apple AirPods Pro.
