The winning shirt was designed by Bonnie O. Wong '13. According to UC President Senan Ebrahim '12, her design won in a landslide.

"Out of the ten designs it got 25-30% of the votes," Ebrahim said, "which is huge for 10 designs."

Wong's winning design features Lowell Bell-Tower and Widner Library, both iconic Harvard buildings.

"I was sitting in the sixth floor of Quincy when I was designing and turned to look out the windowthe sun was setting on the silhouette of Lowell Bell-Tower," Wong said.

Shirts will be distributed October 13 in Annenberg and the upperclassmen dining halls.
