Wangdrak Dorji ('24) wins the 5th Annual Classics Button Badge Contest

This year, Classics @ Brown held our fifth annual Button Badge Competition!  We asked undergraduate students to create a design that they felt represented Classics at Brown University.  Each year, the chosen image will be printed on button badges as a fun way to show appreciation for the department and identify their fellow classmates.
