Help create the new UW-Superior Hall of Fame
We want to move the UW-Superior Hall of Fame to a new, bigger location adjacent to Mortorelli Gym. Plans are in place, but we need alumni support to get the project done. This is an exciting opportunity to help honor Yellowjacket players, teams, coaches and backers from the program's proud history. Read more and see how you can help.
