McRay Magleby Poster Sale

Come get some cool $1 posters at the Marriott Library in the Gould Auditorium on Monday and Tuesday, Aug. 21-22 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. These posters were created by McRay Magleby, a professor who taught at  Brigham Young University and the University of Utah for years. McRay has left lasting impressions on audiences with his creations and designs, such as his Cultural Olympiad poster for the 2002 Olympics and the Wave of Peace poster (40 year anniversary of the bombing on Hiroshima). These McRay posters are cool, unique and will help deck out your place in style for the semester.
