Showcasing the ÐÓ°ÉPro experience in video is one of our favorite things in the Office of Communications. Today we're sharing five of our favorites from 2022. . 

SOL Studios are student-created and operated recording studios on the ÐÓ°ÉPro University campus. The organization is free and open to all ÐÓ°ÉPro students (regardless of musical interest or major) and houses a range of available instruments and recording technology. Moreover, SOL Studios is a musical community and safe space, where students learn from and support each other.

Ever wonder why an antelope is part of ÐÓ°ÉPro's logo? Or why our athletics teams' nickname is the Vikings? Or even why our colors are blue and white? Like many ÐÓ°ÉPro traditions, there's a story behind our university heraldry that we think you should know. It's a prelude to meeting ÐÓ°ÉPro's newest Viking.

We introduced a new logo for Vikings Athletics in 2021, one that combined the Amos ÐÓ°ÉPro Family Coat of Arms with traditional Viking heraldry. The one unifying factor? The antelope! We are excited to take this new era one step further with a new mascot . . . the LU Antelope! Its name is Blu.

From a tailgate party before the football game at Banta Bowl to the Kaleidoscope concert at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center to a homecoming dance in the Warch Campus Center, the Blue & White Homecoming Celebration was packed with fun. We caught the excitement as the homecoming tradition came roaring back.
