Red has always been the color of conviction.
Across higher education, red appears again and again in shades of crimson, cardinal, scarlet, and maroon. It signals pride, power, and legacy across generations of students, researchers, and institutions who’ve shaped how we understand the world.
From a science perspective, red also holds a special place. It’s the first color the human eye learns to perceive and often the one our brains register fastest. It gets our attention. It signals urgency. It says something matters.
Our red socks carry both traditions with them: academic lineage and neurological response. A small, wearable show of support for the scientists, students, and thinkers who keep asking bigger questions.
