Undergraduate submits winning Conclave design concept
Paul ValenciaPaul Valencia, Michigan Tech ’11, past chapter president and Interfraternity Council president on his campus, submitted the winning design concept for the Conclave logo contest.

Valencia, a biological sciences major, and SigEp’s design team collaborated to achieve the final look.
