Congratulations to the winners of our first-ever Graduating Class Merchandise Design Competition: Jenny Baek and Masaki Muroya & Yurika Muroya!

For the T-shirt, Jenny beautifully captures the nuanced experience of the Class of 2025. Her design acknowledges the bittersweet symphony of senior year—the shifting landscape of friendships, the weight of future decisions (jobs, grad school), and the underlying worries, all while grappling with the ever-present pull of senioritis. It’s a design that truly reflects what it feels like to be a '25er in this moment.

For the sweatshirt, Masaki Muroya & Yurika Muroya set out to weave together MIT’s most iconic and beloved spots, creating a visual tapestry where each element evokes a shared sense of unity—celebrating the experiences that connect all MIT students, regardless of background or field of study. The final composition is a wearable tribute to playfulness, place, and pride.
