I plan on making a t-shirt quilt from both the free swag and the stuff I bought
Erika Skinner '20
Most of my free Geneseo shirts came from volunteer opportunities on campus including GREAT Day, Move-In Day, and Commencement (not pictured). All of these opportunities have allowed me to meet new people, gain leadership experience, and overall have given me some of my fondest memories at Geneseo.
Sara Wendell '20
My collection includes the first shirt I ever received at Geneseo (at first Knight), and shirts that I was given for being a member of some of the club and organizations that made my time at Geneseo incredible. I helped to host siblings weekend the past few years, volunteered to rake leaves around Geneseo with GOLD, and helped out at the past two first knights with the student association.

Here are my top favorite free shirts I’ve gathered over the past 4 years.
Kristen Bull '20
From my first shirt (Gray one!) to my last (right now intramural championship but soon to be bar crawl!) I have collected so many! All of the events I attended, teams I’ve played on, and volunteering I’ve done have all molded me into the person I am now! These T-shirt’s are more than just a piece of clothing, they show experiences, lessons and the opportunities we have here at Geneseo!
