Like many of her peers, recent UW-Madison graduate Melissa Sandgren wears her Badger pride on her sleeve, literally.
She’s written the word “Bucky” in bleach pen on a red top and painted pawprints on a T-shirt with “Property of Bucky” scrawled across it. She’s cut off collars, ripped and re-tied Wisconsin shirts in creative ways to give her school spirit an ’80s flare. On football game days, she’s never had a problem creating a unique Badger look.
It was this extreme school spirit that inspired the 22-year-old journalism and marketing graduate to start her own business, U-DUB.
