Our welcome gift to all new students (our future alumni) is an Old Joe clock tower magnet.

Old Joe is the tallest free standing clock tower in the world and is the most photographed building on campus. He was built in 1905 thanks to a charitable gift to the University, and since then more than 300,000 students have graduated to join our global alumni network.

He is just one of the features that makes our campus so Instagrammable.Illustration of Old Joe clock tower, available as a magnet
