Need some extra purple for the homecoming game? Students in the university's Marketing and Business Law class (BLAW 490-01) can help. As a requirement for the course –  to create a for-profit business – the class is selling silicon wristbands embossed with “St. Thomas.”

The wrist bands are one-size-fits-all, colored light purple with a white swirl.

The bands will be sold by class members all semester, including today just in time for homecoming. The bands will be sold for $1 from approximately noon to 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 21, in the upper quad.
