Ever wondered what President Nelson’s gavel looked like or why you occasionally see odd graphics around campus, like an odd circular design a man and a woman in blue and gold that looks like it’s from the 1950’s? Even if you have never wondered, the SLCC Archives currently has a display on the main floor of the Taylorsville-Redwood Campus Library that is filled with objects from our memorabilia collection that will make you do a double-take.
From Alumni Association commemorative items such as stadium seats with a fierce Bruin Bear Logo, decorative Bruin license plate frames and sunglasses to more historical items such as President Caranahan’s commemorative mug, these physical objects provide vignettes of the different transformations that SLCC has gone through since the College’s creation.
Other interesting aspects of the display include mugs and other materials from past marketing campaigns mixed in with a large UTT Logo (from when SLCC was known as Utah Trade Tech) that looks like a gigantic bottle cap, traditional items such as Frisbees and printed mugs, as well as objects ranging to the nearly bizarre, such as a commemorative toilet seat! All these materials represent the colorful past of the College and its students.
Be sure to stop by the main floor of the Redwood Library and check out this one of a kind exhibit of memorabilia highlighting student life and special events over the years at SLCC!
