RISE Logo Contest

PNW students, faculty and staff submitted entries in Fall 2025 to help create a logo representing the university’s values: Respect, Innovation, Student Centric and Excellence (RISE).

After careful review, the Strategic Implementation and Action Committee and the Senior Leadership Team selected the winning design.
